Arthur Rockefeller Strikes Back After Divorce Novels & Stories

“You hung another man’s child on my head just so that you could ruin my relationship with Matilda, you planned my accident, planned with the doctors to keep messing with my head like I was some toy, went ahead to do shady business with my stepbrother who clearly does not like me,” “How audacious of you to think we can go back to normal, if you ever get through this, just know that you’re coming back to a divorce letter from me. Because you’ve done nothing but ruined my life. I’m back to ground zero because of you!” He said, with that he pushed his chair backwards and got up to leave, “Don’t expect to see me again after this, even at your court hearing,” he said and stormed out of the room. “

His eyes lost their energy and his jaw tightened. I kept my distance by retreating a step for every step he advanced. Nonetheless, I remembered I had promised myself that I would no longer allow him to put me down, so I took a stand and refused to back away any further. I tilted my head back to look up at him, since even with my heels on, I was still a few inches shorter than him. "You don't need to know where I learned it, Mister Carter. We're going to get a divorce, so it's not our business to interfere in each other's lives anymore."

Chuck fell limply to the ground in despair. My mother-in-law was stunned when she saw everyone leaving the party. She had never expected things to turn out this way. Even Candice was flustered. She tugged on my mother-in-law's sleeve. "Mrs. Jameson, I…" It only annoyed my mother-in-law as she pushed Candice aside. "Stop calling me that! This is all your fault, you jinx!" The show was about to begin as they started turning against each other. I approached Chuck and flung the divorce papers into his face. "Sign them, or you'll be in tomorrow's headline."

None of it fixes what I did or erases the divorce, the lies, the betrayal, the kidnapping, the blood but it builds something new fragile, tentative and real. I pull into my driveway and sit there for a long time before going inside I realize something painful and necessary. Winning her back won’t be about grand gestures or romantic speeches or throwing money at problems. It will be about consistency showing up even when it’s uncomfortable doing the right thing even when no one is watching and accepting that she may never choose me again.

I ask him, if I'm going to follow my heart, I need to know why I'm risking my heart for. Grabbing my arm, Arianna said, "We should never have divorced in the first place, and that was my mistake." Taking my face in his hand, he said, " That's why I'm here, doing everything I can to get you back." It's crazy how I could feel that he was telling the truth, and I could see the honesty in his eyes. It's the first time I've known him that he's become so open with his feelings. Where was all that when I needed it during our marriage, or when I was going through the worst possible time in my life and needed his support? All I got were hurtful words from his family, while he stayed silent. Is it wro

he shrugged. Alaric was taken aback. "What?" he replied, his voice rising in anger. "It's been a year since you married Evelyn. If Dianna hadn't returned all of a sudden saying that she left you because your family forced her to leave to make you get married to Evelyn, if Dianna hadn't told you of her incurable cancer and she only has a few years to live, wouldn't you have eventually accepted Evelyn in your heart?" Kevin continued. "What nonsense!" Alaric stood up and slammed his palms on the table. "I hate Evelyn Rockefeller. Even if Dianna never returned, I still would have divorced her at some point!"

“It’s been over twenty years since our affair, Alice. Move on. You ruined my marriage, made old man Lockwood bring my company to its knees with those lawsuits. You bankrupted me, pushed me to the edge of poverty—all because I didn’t want to be with you anymore.” His words cut deep, reopening wounds I thought had long since scarred over. I slapped him, hard, the sound echoing across the park. The tears I’d been holding back finally spilled over, but I didn’t care. “I was ready to risk everything for you, Konrad. I was ready to divorce old man Lockwood and elope with you. We could have been a family—William could have been the son you always wanted, and Jocelia, the daughter I always dreamed o

She said with force this time. “I was going to leave before your cancer scare, but that would have been really shitty of me to leave while you were going through the testing.” Rebecca grabbed the edge of their bed, 7 years he had faked being a happy spouse. It felt like the air was being sucked out of her lungs, how did she not see it? Why now, why not earlier. The questions started to play in her head. “Samuel, is there someone else?” “Rebecca why do we have to do this, I want a divorce and that final. Sign the damn papers and pull yourself together, we’ll tell the kids over dinner.” He said with force and anger.

Now seeing her daughter's face, Elara's vision blurred instantly. "I drafted this divorce agreement myself. I'm divorcing Harvey!" Not "wanting" to divorce—but "divorcing"! Tears burst forth uncontrollably after she said this. Ethel swung her arm violently, slapping the papers across Elara's face. The sheets were scattered like snowflakes in the winter air.

If you want me to do everything, then you'll have to pay me. Jonathan and his mother frowned in displeasure. They were used to the meek version of me. This uncompromising side clearly caught them off guard. In the past, I had given them everything I had and expected nothing in return. Only because of love. Now that Jonathan had insulted and crushed the feelings I had for him, I saw no reason to let him walk all over me again. "Either you add all those clauses, or we sign the divorce papers. And I'll take back everything he got from me."
