Lisa Strand Maa Divorce Novels & Stories

Will that make you happy? She sobbed, her voice breaking. I acted like I hadn't heard a word and zipped up my suitcase. Lilith clenched her fists. The carefully chosen expression she wore finally cracked. "Ungrateful bastard!" She glared at me, ready to strike, when Maisy rushed in, clutching an envelope folder. "Mom, this is bad!" She was pale, and her body was shaking uncontrollably. "Dad filed for divorce! He's suing you for an extramarital affair, hiding your income, and transferring marital assets! He's demanding compensation for all financial losses. That's eight million dollars in total!"

The life growing inside me. Liam called me, his tone calm as if nothing had happened. “Let’s meet at The Sterling Lounge,” he said, naming one of the most expensive restaurants in the city. I hesitated for a moment after he hung up. Just hours ago, his first love had come to my home to humiliate me, and now he wanted to talk? Still, I needed to hear what he had to say. I grabbed my purse, slipping the divorce papers inside. Maybe this was my chance to finally get some clarity and start moving on.

"Mason, why are you always so petty? I'm home today to spend Thanksgiving with you and also celebrate our third wedding anniversary." It was amazing that she even remembered that today was our third wedding anniversary. Mason smiled. "Great! I even prepared a gift for you. It's in our room—no, I guess it’s your and Harvey's room now." Mason's voice was cheerful, but Mindy's heart still sank. She desperately rushed back to the room and saw a divorce agreement on the table. It had Mason's name on it. Mason's voice rang coldly. "Mindy, let's get divorced and never see each other again."

EMELY “I’ve already filed for divorce, Mom.” The words slipped out the moment Lisa stepped into the room. I hadn’t even had the chance to ask her to sit. She stopped in her tracks, eyes locking onto mine as if she wasn’t sure she’d heard me right. “You already did? That fast?” she asked. “Yes.” I nodded. “This morning. The documents have been submitted, and the lawyers are already processing everything.” For a few seconds, she said nothing. Then slowly, she walked closer and took a seat by the window.

"Gone." His eyebrow arched. "Gone where? To the land of the dead?" Melanie's voice was flat. "Just gone." "You're a divorcee, I presume?" Melanie nodded avoiding his eye contact. "A divorced widow, then," Luca stated. She corrected him swiftly. "No, just a divorcee. Not a widow. My ex-husband has no role in our lives anymore." Luca nodded, his expression unreadable. "Good to know. I don't want any drama. You're my family now."

Emily’s POV Fred’s sudden irritation from the news of my “marriage” was unexpected. Once our divorce proceedings were complete, we would have nothing more to do with each other. That day couldn’t come sooner… Who I wanted to be with was my business and my business alone. I’m so done with all this drama, albeit I had added slightly more fuel to the fire with my last message to Fred. After about the tenth attempt, the phone calls finally stopped and my phone was silent. Opening the drawer, I retrieved my mobile.

He couldn’t even be properly mad at her claim. He hated that she still had an effect on him as she strode in, even when he knew she was out to draw blood. He hated that she knew the truth and was playing with him like she didn’t know. He loathed that she was saying that she and Malcolm were still married. The courtroom roared in more shock, the faces of everyone including the judges twisting, as the words ‘married’ and ‘divorced’ shot through the crowd like sparks. ‘The Meyer heir, Malcolm, married Zoe, the former heiress of ANCLAIR and the owner of ZOELVA? They are divorced? And no one knew? They were not just business partners?!’

"Congratulations, Ms. Miller, on finding new love so quickly after your divorce. I truly can't wait for the wedding!" Sirius felt his blood turn to ice. His mind raced, the word "divorce" ringing in his ears like a death knell.

They turned toward the door and Jayda was already thinking about the budget meeting, about getting back to the office, about the charcoal trousers she would probably order online because Dess was right about the blazer even if she would never say so out loud, and then Lisa spoke again and everything stopped. "I'm sure the real reason Antonio divorced you," Lisa said, her voice clear enough to carry to every corner of the now completely silent boutique, "is because you couldn't give him an heir. Four years of marriage and nothing, and a man like Antonio eventually gets tired of waiting."

She clawed at his collar, her voice shrill with rage. "You promised you'd divorce Valerie! Now that your father-in-law's here, you want to throw me and Eugene away? I won't let that happen! So what if her father's a government official? You're a wealthy businessman. This is the perfect chance—lay everything bare and divorce her!" Her nails raked across the back of his hand, leaving bloody marks. Freddy roared in fury, his voice breaking. "Crazy woman! Why would I ever divorce Valerie for you?" "You heartless bastard!" Lisa screamed. "I've followed you all these years, gave you a son—and this is how you repay me?"
