Choosing First Love? I Divorce Novels & Stories

"Honey, believe me. You'll always be the one I love most in this lifetime. Once he gets through this rough patch, we'll remarry." With that, she skipped out the door, divorce papers in hand. Not long after, online media outlets released a statement: [Female entrepreneur Samantha officially announces her divorce.] My father and I sat quietly in the living room, staring at the news on the screen, sorrow written all over our faces. "Dad, why did you agree?" I asked. "And who exactly is Julian?" He took a hard drag from his cigarette and spoke slowly. "He's your mother's first love." "What kind of trouble would make Mom help him like this?"

The little girl asked. I took in a deep breath and explained, “Sometimes, we tend to do stupid things in love. I don't want you to do that! Always choose yourself first and never settle for less just because you love them. Sicne the choice was between love and money, I chose money. If the choice was between love and something else, I would always choose later because trust me, love is not going to do you anything good.” “You don't mean it.” Draven muttered and I berated back, “Yes, I do! It's useless.”

“Are you sure about this? You've spent ten years with him. I can understand if you're hesitant." I stared down at the divorce papers for a long moment then I smiled. “I spent ten years loving him so I think that’s enough. I'm done with Silas Wolfe.”

"Sis, you're pregnant, aren't you? Even if you don't care about yourself, think about the child. You can wander for a while, but are you really going to wander forever? You think living free and unbound is great now—but what about your baby when it's born? " Her words hit me right in the gut. In this world, even someone as powerful as Edward had nearly died alone in that cave. What would happen to my child once it was born? But Edward had been cast out by his own pack. Would he really want to go back to that kind of environment? I looked at Edward. He seemed to read my mind. He came over and took my hand. "Julie, then let's go back." After I agreed, Debra let out a visible sigh of relief. "S

she demanded. "I'm destroying you because of you. It has nothing to do with anyone else. It's simply because you deserve it," I said, looking her in the eyes. With that, I turned to leave, ignoring her screams behind me. … A few days later, the court issued the final ruling on our divorce. I was awarded with 70% of our marital assets due to Maeve's repeated infidelity during the marriage and being found at fault. As for my inheritance, it was protected by a trust she couldn't touch.

"Shall we go inside?" She gives me a sidelong glance before nodding. "You've come a long way. You'd better keep it that way." She sighs. "Now if only you could choose someone decent..." I ignore her words as I walk inside with her. She's never liked Kass, but that doesn't matter to me. In the end, who I marry is my choice, and I love my Kassandra Thorn more than anything in the world.

My hands shook a little after I put my signature on the paper as I realized the gravity of what I had just done. I was officially divorced. As I stared at the signed papers, something shifted inside me. It wasn’t just grief any more; it was clarity. I had nothing left tying me to Washington city. No family. No home. There's no reason to stay. The love I’d fought for, cried for and defended had never truly existed. Julian had walked out of our marriage long before today. I was just the last one to leave. And maybe, just maybe, that made me stronger. I wiped my tears, squared my shoulders, and told myself I would not be broken. I would start again on my own terms.

I shrugged as tears formed in my eyes again, “I really loved him. I hoped that if I tried hard enough, he would love me. Then I overheard him talking with his best friend, Liam. All my love for him died yesterday. Even Liam told him he’s an idiot for leaving me. Then he told Victor to let him know when he does it so he can help me heal.” Lacey laughed, “Maybe you should let him know you’re getting a divorce. I mean the best way to get over a man is to get under another one.” My jaw dropped, “You are so bad.” She shrugged, “Hey, I’m just stating facts. He is hot and single. Since he’s so close to Victor, you might want to wait until the divorce is final though.” I nodded, “I plan on staying a

6 months later ✓ ✓ "Jordan? What the fuck do you mean by divorce... After we've been married for three freaking years with a two-year-old son, you're asking for a divorce? Why... Why? What is the problem? We've never had any issues, I've been taking care of you." Ashley continues to rant and yell, her hands flying around like she’s physically trying to swat the word ‘divorce’ out of the air. She picks up the paper I handed her a few minutes ago and stares at it like it's a joke she can laugh away. But it’s not. I’d thought long and hard about this. If I want to avoid ending up back in the same situation, if I want to survive this second chance I’ve been given, I need to make sure she’s out o

My parents, the Browns, will obviously see this as a disgrace and tarnish their image and the name they have taken forever in building. I didn't know if I was sure I'd want to make such a move. Do I really need to go on with this divorce? I mean… as much as this sounds stupid, I still love Justin. He's still my first love, my dream man. “Good morning Ma'am,” a familiar voice called out as I got to the last step of the stairs. “Hi, Cathy.” I smiled. “Sorry about yesterday night, I hope I didn't hurt you?” I asked as soon as I remembered that I ran into her last night.
