The Divorce Story Summary Novels & Stories

My throat burned like I hadn’t spoken for days. When I looked up, she was watching me carefully. “You gonna tell me what happened? I thought you decided to stay with Lorenzo.” I stared at her for a long time, trying to figure out where to even start. How do you explain that you fell in love with a man whose family your parents might have murdered? “I am getting a divorce,” I said finally. Her eyebrows shot up. “Okay… that’s a start. And then?” “And then I found out my whole life’s a goddamn lie.”

I asked with a hint of urgency in my voice. “I’m just on my lunch break, you sound sad. Is everything okay?” She asked, her voice laced with concern. Celeste had this superpower of knowing when things were wrong with me even through the phone. I responded with a scoff. “No, everything isn’t okay.” My voice was slightly cracked. “Patrick wants a divorce.” My heart shattered into a million pieces as I voiced it out loud. “What?” She gasped in disbelief. “A divorce?

Then he set the folder in front of me. "I should have brought this to you sooner," he said. "When this case started to go in another direction, I should have looked harder at what I was holding." "What is it?" I asked. "Your parents' original divorce agreement," he said. "It was filed seventeen years ago." I opened the folder. Most of it was the standard language you'd expect. Division of assets, custody arrangements, financial settlements. Pages and pages of the formal, cold document that was what a marriage looked like when it was being taken apart.

Of course, they truly hated Ravelina. “That’s right, it’s better to just divorce!” the others said. Viona looked smug, while Regan remained silent, just as Ravelina did. “I do not agree with this divorce lawsuit.” Regan grabbed the divorce documents and tore them apart right in front of the entire Dominic family. Ravelina was certainly shocked to see what her husband did, as were Viona and several members of the Dominic family present there. “Regan, didn’t you want to divorce this barren woman, …”

“She is not up to my standards. Besides, I love someone else. She won't be one for me. He declared, making my heart even tighter. I grabbed my bestie Elise’s hands. She patted my hands. Standard? I smirked. If he knew what the standards were. The judge called me again, and I went to the other stand. “You are not compatible with this relationship. So by this, Mr. Aaron Robinson is no longer married to Ms. Jennifer Kumar. Divorce granted. And as per Ms. Jennifer’s request, no alimony will be taken from Mr. Aaron. The court adjourned.” The judge declared. Divorce declared. The one word is ringing in my mind. I stepped out of the court and went outside. I heard a voice, and I turned around to se

Harper winked as I clenched my fist in anger. Cocking his head to the side, he said “Don’t give me that look. I wasn’t the one who gave my wife a divorce letter because her hot sister was back in town.” “I swear, I miss her. I know I made a terrible mistake and I don’t even know if Aria would ever forgive me because I do not deserve her forgiveness.” I mumbled as I rubbed my temple, the tightness in my chest rushed in with full force. “Oh well. Flash news, you had asked for the divorce and she signed it according to your genie wish.” He retorted, plopping on the couch, and making himself comfortable.

“Damn! That’s really bad.” “Yeah, I know, right? It was a huge amount of money, as well as some other assets, but I'm not going to mention the amount here. It was so bad that even his company took a hit and was left struggling. We’re still managing to get on our feet again. She took her settlement and disappeared into thin air. Anyway, not long after, I found out I was pregnant, and we were both overjoyed, as his mother was. Anyway, they got divorced, and we rekindled our love and have been together ever since then. So that is the story.”

Bella looks at Evan with surprise; she was so engrossed in looking at her husband that she did not pay attention to a file held in his hand. Evan gives the file to Bella. Bella opens the file confusingly, and her eyes go wide. “Divorce papers? her words whispered. Evan nods solemnly, confirming Bella's worst fears. She feels her heart sink as she reads through the legal document, realizing that her marriage is truly coming to an end. The reality of the situation hits her like a ton of bricks, and she can't help but feel a mix of sadness and anger towards her husband. As she looks up at Evan, she sees a coldness in his eyes that she had never noticed before, making her wonder if he had been p

“That’s what I heard too.” I didn’t answer. I didn’t have the energy to correct a story that had already decided what shape it wanted to be. Somewhere between the ballroom and Monday morning, my divorce had been rewritten into a lovers’ spat over a woman in a gold dress, and there was nothing I could say that would out-gossip that version. It was more fun than the truth. The truth didn’t have a villain anyone wanted. At two, Hale’s assistant knocked on my cubicle wall. “He wants to see you.”

“I don’t need you stressing her out. It’s bad for the baby.” I stared at him, my heart breaking all over again. “She’s pregnant?” He nodded, finally looking up at me with a cold gaze. “Yeah. So don’t make this harder than it needs to be.” Something inside me snapped. “I want a divorce.” For the first time in months, I saw a flicker of emotion on his face—surprise, maybe even anger—but I didn’t care anymore. I couldn’t keep doing this. I couldn’t keep pretending like everything was okay. I took off my wedding ring and threw it at him. “I’m done, Lucas.
