Family Guy Stuck Together Torn Apart Novels & Stories

But when they got my death finally, they all fell into deep sorrow. When my body was discovered, it had already decomposed severely. After a month submerged in the river, I was bloated beyond recognition. On top of that, my entire body had been folded into a 20-inch suitcase. The skin of my face had adhered to my thighs, a bloody mess. But even in that state, my hand still clutched my phone, refusing to let go. Everyone at the scene felt a pang of bitterness in their hearts. Even my brother Damine, the pack forensic who had rushed to the scene after receiving the call, looked pained.

He tried to speak but found no words. After a long pause, he finally spoke in a low, measured voice I had never heard before, "If that's why, I'll change. I won't agree to a divorce. We have a son—he's five years old. I'll try to treat you the way I should have all along. "Claire, please give me another chance." Xavier had changed. He skipped unnecessary engagements, made it a point to get home on time, never forgot my favorite desserts from that tiny pastry shop, and joined in with me whenever I played with our son. Five years had passed in our marriage, and I hadn't realized when his feelings had shifted.

The voice came again and I knew I was not imagining, suddenly threading the words together. “But they will never leave me….” The last words were barely heard, his voice getting lower and lower as I stared at his face barely moving. He shook his head, seeming not to believe and I did not even know what to do. I just sat there, thinking he would say more but he did not. He just shrilled, seeing his hands clench to unclench, gripping the edge of the seat to let go with it not giving in. They were both tortured beyond anyone could realize. They were broken beyond measure. I tried to see a way of maybe pulling the pieces together but I knew it was impossible, they were far scattered apart. Broken

She raised her head up from her laptop, arching her brows in confusion. “What?” “You heard me right,” my grip on the envelope tightened, and my voice deepened with resistance. “I’m not agreeing to this divorce.” She chuckled nervously, and I heard her teeth gritting in annoyance as she tilted her head forward. “Sage, you need to sign this.” I raised the envelope to her face, making sure she had her focus fully on me, watching my subsequent actions. With her eyes fixed intently on me, I tore the envelope— not open to read the papers, but to shred it into tiny pieces.

Wincing as it touched my swollen throat. Leaning against the kitchen counter, a cold numbness settled over me. I couldn't understand why Fabian kept doing this. Why did he constantly reappear in my life, tear me apart, and then just vanish into thin air again? He treated me like a toy he could pick up and drop whenever he pleased, leaving me to clean up the wreckage alone. Then I suddenly thought of last night's money. I felt a warmth in my chest when I thought of what I could do for Mia with the money, maybe I could buy her a nice meal with lots of meat. I shoved my fingers into my pockets.

“You’d think misery would be quiet. But no. Hunger is louder.” Mathapelo’s phone buzzed—an accidental selfie of her spilled wine and smudged makeup. She stared at it and laughed, a short, surprised burst. Even Abby chuckled when he tried to fix a faucet and accidentally drenched his shirt in cold water. Humor, small as it was, became their fragile lifeline. The house—this family—was breaking, slowly, inexorably. But as the cracks widened, each of them felt, for the first time, the possibility that facing the storm together might not just save the house—it might save them too.

Chuck felt a foreboding sensation even as he rushed over to pick them up, and he had barely pieced them together when he paused, shocked by the bold letters that read 'marriage certificate. The photo was torn down the middle, and Chuck couldn't piece them together no matter how hard he tried. And it felt just like how his marriage with Lisa couldn't be mended.. Stricken by panic and disbelief, he realized right then Lisa was really going to divorce him—that was why she had even torn up the marriage certificate!
