No Longer Yours, Ex Husband Novels & Stories

I reached for the envelope, tore it open, and read the note inside. *Dear husband,* *If you’re reading this, then it means you’ve seen the document I sent. Don’t be arrogant, don’t make this harder than it has to be for either of us. Just sign those papers.* *I will not be taking anything—neither your assets nor your money. The only thing I ask is for us to part peacefully. This is the least you can give me for all the years I wasted on you.* *Sincerely, your ex-wife.* My hands clenched around the note.

“I heard her and her friend talking about something interesting. I barged into the conversation without thinking. And when they turned around…” He paused. “I found her. My long lost love.” I waited. “I thought she would remember me,” he continued. “I really did. But she did not. From the look of things, she does not even know who the hell I am.” I chuckled. “That sounds like you. Always appearing and disappearing.” “And there is another twist,” he added. “She is with your wife.” “My wife?” I frowned. “Yes,” he said. “They are close friends. She probably did not recognize me."

“And? You want a medal? A thank you card? ‘Dear Alexander, thank you for stalking me across state lines. Love, your ex-wife.” His brows furrowed. “Is that what you would say?” I rolled my eyes. “You’re acting like I owed you my location.” “You disappeared for four years.” He ran a hand through his hair. “You could have at least told me you were alive.” “Could I have?” I tilted my head. “Because from where I’m standing you lost the right to know where I was the second you signed those papers.” Something flickered across his face. Confusion maybe… because this version of me wasn’t familiar to him.

Answer your phone. I wasn't in the mood to argue with him. I was so annoyed that I threw the phone in the drawer of my table. "Sissy, are you okay?" "My boss is now my husband's ex. I'm okay. I'm really oka?" I replied sarcastically. "So you're giving up just like that? Don't lose, fight! It's just an ex, it means past tense!" "Isn't the past becomes present when came back?" I asked weakly.

"We thought we were helping..." "You thought you were getting what you wanted. Which was Eve out of my life and Sophia back in it. Well congratulations. You got your wish. Eve's gone, Sophia's exposed as a liar, and I'm left with a finalized divorce and a wife who won't even open her door to talk to me." My mother stood up. "Ex-wife. Eve is your ex-wife now." "Don't. Don't you dare call her that like it's some victory. Like you won something. You didn't win. You helped destroy a marriage and now I have to live with that."

I was often tempted to ask mom “will you take him back?” But that was ten years ago. And now? He looks practically the same. Just a little gray in his hair. Still the same lovesick fool from a decade ago. This is why I’ll never fall in love. Too much stress for one person. “We should go,” I say, rising to my feet. “I’ll drive you to your residence.” “Do you think your mother will ever listen to me again?” “No. She’s a married woman now. And you are her abusive ex husband who all her girlfriends are waiting for a chance to destroy.”

He says as he looks deep into her eyes without hesitation. "Wait, you said you got married. I don't see a wedding ring. What happened?" "Well, I don't see a ring on your finger either. What happened there?” He sighs and then continues, “My ex-wife divorced me 10 years ago. She told the court that she didn't know who I was anymore. She couldn't stand me, so she took my kids and I barely ever got to see them till they were old enough to come visit me themselves."

The night she accepted to be mine and mine alone. Mother of the Ex-Fiancée - I'm so angry at that son of a bitch, my husband. I had to leave my house with nothing. I can't believe he sold our house to pay off his debts and then disappeared. I found out when my lawyer went to the registry office to inquire about the property, as I searched everywhere in the house for the documents, but couldn't find them. The records at the property registry already showed a new owner.

“I don’t need your help and I don’t want a stranger ogling at my wife.” I started to laugh making him look at me as if I am crazy. “everyone needs help at some point and I didn’t do much. He probably was much more impressed by your presentation than me. He clearly was joking.” He nodded and started to walk before I stopped him. “And Nathan... I am not your wife anymore. Ex-wife.”

"Yes," I said finally, my voice strong and commanding. "Gideon Grayson is my ex-husband. Emphasis on ex." I leaned forward by just a little, my eyes sharp as needles. "And that's all he'll ever be. A mistake I left behind, just like the old me."
