After The Divorce Novels & Stories

The woman on the other side of the phone bursted out before he could finish explaining himself. "Hold on." Liana muttered, her voice sharp and calm. She looked at the certificate in her hands, then raised her eyes to meet the confused gaze of the man standing before her. "I just got officially divorced. And you–you just got dumbed by the woman whom you planned to exchange vows with, and it's no longer news that both our partners have moved on with their lives." Christian knitted his brows in a slight frown. "So, what conclusion are you drawing now?" He asked.

VALERIE It had been two weeks since wine clouded my judgment and I almost fell straight back into Roman Ashford. Two weeks since the balcony. Since the kiss that hadn’t felt like strategy. Since his hands and my own voice saying his name like it still belonged in my mouth. Two weeks since I walked out of that house with signed divorce papers in my bag and told myself the hardest part was over. Officially, we were done. The final processing was still moving through whatever legal channels these things required, but the signature was there. His name under mine. The end of it, on paper.

It was much simpler to bring up the subject of divorce after the first time. "From now on, you can live happily ever after with your beloved Yvonne."

Kimberly smiled at her. They had a warm and meaningful time together afterward, sitting comfortably in the cozy living room as the sun filtered through the windows. The conversation flowed easily, filled with light laughter and genuine interest. They spoke about the future — specifically, Alice and Daniel’s plan to get married once the divorce was finalized and to build a peaceful life together, free from the entanglements of the past. For the first time in a long while, Alice spoke about her future with a spark of hope in her eyes.

I need someone to remove me off this trance "Okay. A divorce is a two sided thing. You both still have differences to sort out. I'll give you three months to sort things out..then you'll decide if you BOTH want a divorce. When you do. You can arrange with your lawyer once more and if you decide to make a change. Them I wish you a blissful marriage" "Court!"

he said without concern, with a smile on his face. “But we are divorced. How are we going to take care of a child when we are divorced? God, I shouldn't have even made love to you while we were divorced in the first place…” I sighed, thinking I was pathetic. Who in their right mind would sleep with their ex-husband until they got pregnant after having spent so much time apart?

After a few moments, Liz suddenly asked, “What’s the plan after the divorce? Anything in mind?” I paused for a moment, thinking about the future. “I’m not entirely sure yet. I just want to find myself again, you know? Maybe travel, focus on my career, or pick up a hobby I’ve always wanted to try. But mostly, I just want to feel free and happy.” Liz squeezed my hand gently. “That sounds perfect. Whatever you decide, I’ll be here for you.” I took a deep breath and stared at Liz. “After the divorce, I’m not planning to accept anything from Tristan. I am not interested in his money. I’ll be damn fine without it.”

It felt nice to not have to constantly rely on her after how much she'd already done for me. "So..." Mason's voice caught my attention. "Is it over with?" "It is." I said with a heavy, but relieved sigh. "I'm free." "You don't sound too particularly happy with it, though." I shrugged. "Is anyone truly happy after having to divorce the person they loved and thought they'd be with for the rest of their life?" "Touché... I suppose no happiness can be found in that, even if it was the right decision." Mason paused for a moment. "Do you regret it?"

"Give you another chance? Can you bring back my child?" She fell completely silent. I ended the call with one final statement, "You’ll receive the divorce papers tomorrow." The next day, when I went to the branch office to hand over company affairs, I noticed several deep scratch marks on Jim’s face.
