Love After Divorce Novels & Stories

I started sobbing now. “But I love him, Liz. I love Leo so much. Even after everything he has done to me, even after he broke me over and over.” I looked at her pitifully. “I want our marriage to work. I just want my mate back. I want the Leo I married. I wish he would come back to his senses. I wish he would let go of the divorce. I wish he would choose me just once again.” Lizzy was quiet as she was listening to everything I was saying. She never made a move to interrupt me or even judge me. I felt so stupid for telling her how much I loved him even after everything he did to me.

“She doesn’t know, okay? And she can’t find out like this. I love my wife, Sophia. I can’t—” I couldn't hear the rest. Everything after I loved my wife made no more sense. I looked down at the cake box still in my hands, and it suddenly felt ridiculous. I had picked his favorite carefully, hoping we could sit at the lounge and enjoy a movie together and bond our usual way, but I was the delusional one. Jean was still talking—I could see his mouth moving, see the tension in his face—but it didn’t matter anymore. Nothing he said mattered. I shifted my grip on the box and opened it.

I destroyed everything. My father’s plans. My future. The arrangement that was supposed to secure power, wealth, protection. All of it… gone. Because of one night. Because I let myself feel something I was never supposed to. Because I chose him. Even if it was only for a moment. ⸻ But here’s the truth I can’t run from— John is the only man I’ve ever loved. The only one I ever will. And no matter how far I go… No matter how much I try to erase him…

Not when he never took me out ever since the night of our wedding. I explained everything to her. She embraced me in her arms, scooting down my hair. “It'll all be fine.” she said. I don't think so. “His mind is made.” “Then you leave! He's signed the divorce papers, so should you.” “It isn't as easy as it may seem, mother. I love him” “It's obvious, he doesn't. Pick yourself up and get back on your feet, time will heal all of it.” I don't think time will heal this one. What shall I do to rekindle this burnt love?

Arianne did not realize that she sounded like a child showing off, but Tiffany could clearly see it. “Oh, oh, oh, look at you! And you were just telling me that you want a divorce, how you can’t stand him anymore… You’re so lovey-dovey now, aren’t you? I think a divorce is impossible after you’ve spent so many years with him. There’s still familial love even without romantic love. I really envy you guys for stepping right into familial love, passing the romance. No matter how bad things get, you’ll reconcile in a blink of an eye. Other people break up so easily and get a divorce with just a snap of fingers.”

She let out a bitter laugh and wiped her tears roughly. “Is she the reason you are divorcing me?” Without a change in his expression, he answered, “Yes. I love her.” Those words damaged her internally. “Okay, I will sign the divorce papers.” What was the use of begging when he didn’t even love her? Carson faltered a bit but regained his composure again. Clearing his throat, he said, “Good.” At that Hera and Amanda were on cloud nine. What they have planned was working! They both shared a knowing smile. Amanda tolled in between, “We love each other very much. Sorry but this wasn’t the way you should have found out.”

Now that you've shown me your true self, I'm ready to open up about my feelings before leaving. Aron Finge, I've never loved anyone as deeply as I love you. Despite all your flaws, I've always forgiven you, even without you asking. It feels as if I've known you my whole life. You were the last person I ever fell in love with, and now I know I will never love anyone else. I'm grateful for the beautiful memories you've given me. I've always dreamed of building a wonderful family with you, but for your happiness, I'm signing these divorce papers today. I wish you a happy and fulfilling life.

Her trembling lips lifted in a smile that established currents of bewilderment in my stomach. "When your father shared Cole's words with me, I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with joy. I'm frustrated that Hunter took so long to come around. I feel it was worth it." She intertwined her fingers with mine and lifted them to brush a gentle kiss across my knuckles. "The divorce was agonizing, but it marked the beginning of your genuine love story." "What you had before was one-sided love, sweetie. The divorce was necessary for Hunter to acknowledge his feelings and make it a mutual love."

her mother asked. “Bruce and I are getting a divorce, Mom.” Finally, Sharon answered, holding her breath. “You’re getting a divorce?” her mother exclaimed in shock. But Sharon nodded, confirming that what she said was true. “But why, Sharon? Weren’t you deeply in love with each other? Your marriage has only lasted four months. Why suddenly say that you want a divorce? There must be something that caused all of this.” “Bruce’s parents want me to divorce him. They forced me to sign the divorce document. And Bruce doesn’t know,” Sharon explained.

Her tone turns grim as she murmurs the last sentence. I cup her face and confess, looking deeply into her eyes. “I never hated you, love. I’ve always loved you, and therefore your actions hurt me in past. But despite all the pain and hurt, I never stopped loving you. I couldn't bring myself to sign those divorce papers because deep down, I knew our paths would cross again and that we’re meant to be together.”
