Married, Divorced, Desired Again Novels & Stories

“Mallory, do you really think everyone here is stupid? I’ve used that same excuse nine times. Do you expect me to say it a tenth time too?” Mallory’s expression darkened immediately. She said with displeasure, “As you said, nine times. So, what is one more? You won’t even say something to defend Ruth. Is your love for her even real?” She spoke as if the request were perfectly justified. Over the past two years, ever since Ruth’s adopted brother, Peter Conroy, returned home, we had gotten married and divorced nine times. Every single time, she gambled our marriage against Peter in some bet.

I glanced at Xavier, seated beside me, and he gave me a subtle nod, silently urging me forward. “All I can say is that I am sorry for abandoning my family,” I began carefully, my voice steady despite the heaviness in my chest. “Even though it often felt like I was the one who was abandoned. But I still stand by my decision to reject a marriage to a stranger.” “And how did marrying someone you knew work out for you?” he countered without hesitation, his expression calm but sharp beneath the surface. “Two years into the marriage and you are already divorced.”

She muttered and a sad smile spread across my lips. “So, what do you want to discuss with me?” She added. "I want to give Liam a divorce." I voiced and she had her eyes opened wide.

The waiter nodded and disappeared. The silence stretched charged, watchful. “So,” he said the moment we were alone, his voice lower now. “Tell me about yourself. Married or have a boyfriend.” I gave a small, guarded smile. “By now, you should already know a lot about me. What are you waiting for?” “Yes,” he replied evenly, “but I want to hear from you.” I exhaled slowly. The truth pressed against my ribs, heavier than I expected. “I was married,” I said. “Recently divorced.” My fingers tightened around the edge of the table. “My husband cheated. He was my first… in everything.”

For me to be totally out of your life"She asks. I am not the one who asked for divorce" I replied. I don't understand what the hell had gotten into her but I was beginning to regret coming into her house. It seems all she wanted to do is just to fight.I wasnt in that mood. Not when I was supposed to meet Gloria later in the day. That's true...but that doesn't mean you didn't want it and look ,it came at the perfect time.just when Gloria comes back into the town Now you can be with her like you have always wanted ".

I wanted to say something but nothing agreed to come out of my mouth. “I wish I can divorce you but the court clearly states that no divorce until the second year of marriage. Which means, we are stuck with each other. And until then, you are not leaving my sight. That means, you now live in this house, and now work for me!” He retorted. “Deal with that, princess.” The princess was said in a demeaning way. I took a shameful walk back to the sofa I got up from and sank into it. Two years with Evan Blackman? Or the street? Which would it be?

If I had known marrying Grayson would hurt him this much, I would have done it long ago. But then, I scolded myself, "Stop thinking about him, Becky." I was lying in bed early that morning, savoring the silence. Alexander and Grayson were both absent, leaving me a rare moment to reflect. I had agreed to remarry Grayson after Alexander left, but I couldn’t shake the questions nagging at me. Grayson wasn’t the man I dreamed of spending my life with, but the satisfaction of seeing Alexander miserable made him feel like the perfect choice.

Then, like bullets, his lethal words came blasting from his mouth. "But can I have a cup of coffee first?" I asked, hoping to slow his pace. "Can it wait? This is important. Tameka, I want a Divorce. It's been three years. I'm tired of this sexless and loveless marriage. But more importantly than that, Lizzy is very ill, and her only wish is to be married before she leaves this earth." I was floored. This isn't how I imagined it. "Copeland, I don't know what to say. You are catching me so off guard."

I knew it was too much to ask after all the pain I caused her but what can a man do, other than to dream? “I'm not a needle,” She gave a short laugh and took her hands away from my neck and gently pushed me away. I watched anxiously as she walked towards the bookshelf, slowly caressing each corner like she was deep in thoughts. “I know. But I mean it. I want us back, Kathie. I want us to be better than before, to be like a real family, I…,” I paused and took a heavy breath before saying my next words which I knew might get a negative reaction, “I want us to be a real family. Let's get married again.”

“He said that he knew that if he dared to snitch that I was in the capital or had kids, you will leave him for good and he wasn’t ready to live without you,” Elaine explained and Angela shook her head. “I don’t believe it. If he loved me so much then why did he wait? Why was he dating those ladies? Why haven’t he married me?” Angela asked Elaine who shrugged her shoulders not waiting to think about their affairs when hers were bothering her. “You will go ask him yourself,” Elaine told her.
