After The Divorce Novels & Stories

It's done, let's go inside. We got inside and settled back on the couch, but the atmosphere was no longer the same. “You're divorced now, so what's next?”

Beautiful, radiant, even strong at her core—she seemed reborn after their divorce, becoming carefree as if nothing mattered to her anymore. His chest felt blocked, the pain almost rising to his throat. After their divorce, he hadn't had anyone remove Aria's belongings from their marital home, leaving everything in place, as if this could give him the illusion that Aria might return at any time. He was still thinking about remarrying, but Aria had already started a new life. She moved out of their home and began working, as if there was no longer any place for him in her heart or eyes. Why?

Seeing that Lucian had calmed down, Marisol set the knife aside and pulled a handkerchief from her crossbody bag to wipe the blood from her hands. Then, she carefully extracted a waterproof pouch from inside and took out a divorce agreement. She placed it on the table along with a pen. She had already signed her name. She sat by the small table and looked up at the man standing to the side. Her eyes were cold as ice though her voice was soft and gentle. Lucian, you know that this is the only path we can take. What's wrong can't be made right, and what's fake can never become real. Once the divorce is finalized, we will move on."

asked Lydia, recovering from her shock. "My parents don't know about our divorce. And you have to hide it." Reino replied flatly. "But we're already separated, sir. Will-" "I don't want to know." Reino cut Lydia off, then quickly stepped into the restaurant. Lydia closed her eyes in annoyance. She tried to control her emotions, not to explode in a public place like this. "Be patient." She muttered as she stepped back into the restaurant. Unfortunately, Reino sitting not far from her table made Lydia sigh. She was no longer emotional, but it was still annoying to see Reino's flat face. Even in front of a beautiful and plump sexy woman.

The Next Day I woke up due to the ring from my phone, I was too tired yesterday after the ceremony, and after arranging my things, it still felt weird few months after my divorce to the man I was once in love with I married. I checked my social media accounts, I could see people tagging me in hateful speeches ‘How convenient.’ ‘She's rich so what exactly is she getting married for after getting divorced a few months ago.’ ‘I'm sure it was that evil man that forced her into the marriage for money.’ I read different comments and I just hissed. I'm used to this, I was born into fame.

Right now, I was laying on the hospital bed with my brother, Ryan sitting next to me with a frown. "I don't know how you are going to do it, Nina, but that asshole who you call a husband can no longer head our parents' legacy." Ryan half-yelled, his eyes sparkling with fury. "If you continue to let him, Nina. He will ruin it the way he has ruined you." His words felt like a blow to my chest as I smiled weakly. Though it hurts, my brother was right. I had been far too gullible and needed to request for a divorce before Nate took anything else from me.

“You’ve never been in a relationship, so you don’t get it.” She muttered, “True… but I mean, look at you now…” “Don’t bring that up,” I said firmly. “Every move I’ve made after the divorce was entirely my choice. No matter how things go moving forward, I’ll own that choice to the very end.” I paused, then added, “I’ve got enough on my side to handle the consequences. So really, you don’t need to stress about it.” “Okay, okay, I hear you.” She glanced at the time. “Hurry up and change. I’ll wait for you downstairs.”

“What have you been up to since... the divorce?” The way she said divorce was intentional. Like she wanted to press it against June’s skin like hot metal. June took a deep breath. “Oh, you know,” she said with the ghost of a smile. “Travel. Work. Living life on my own terms.” “How inspiring,” Audrey said, glancing at Larry with a wink. “Some women really struggle after losing someone like him. I mean, it’s not easy, right?” Larry chuckled, sipping his drink. June’s throat tightened, but she forced another smile. “It’s true some losses are blessings in disguise.”

Chuck's reputation hit rock bottom. As for me, I traveled to Glacier Island right after our divorce was finalized. I drove alone in the snowy land as I pursued the northern lights. The bright lights danced in the night sky, but I felt neither excitement nor relief. All I felt was calmness, much like a lake covered in ice. Nothing caused a ripple in me. This revenge exhausted all of my energy. I had won, but I also felt like I had lost. I had wasted ten years of my youth and love.

Now they all pointed inward, toward something older than her own awareness. After a moment, she asked, “Is there anything else?” A pause on the line. Then Adrian said quietly, “I have finalized the divorce with Alessia.” Silence followed. Not because it surprised her, but because it marked the end of one chapter and the start of something much bigger beneath it all.
