Chapter: CHAPTER 4CHAPTER 4HEAVENIt's been three weeks since I've left the country to tour our stores in other countries and I just couldn't wait to meet my family again and my kids.The past five years have been the best and I couldn't hope for anything better."You have a gala to attend in the next two hours and the award show later in the night," Jenna, my best friend turned secretary announced beside me and I glanced at her."I didn't know about the award show," I told her."It came in at the last minute. Sorry for not informing you earlier."I nodded."And the gala is in two hours? Do you think we should just skip that?" I asked and she shook her head. It was too early to start attending functions when I only got back. I had to spend more time with my children and get some rest."You know how your mom is. It's her event, remember?" "Oh."As we stepped out of the car, a wide grin spread across my face. Even though I've only been away for three weeks and had spent most of my time in the hotels,

Chapter: CHAPTER 3CHAPTER 3HEAVENThis day has got to be the most shocking and eventful one of my life.I woke up to a faint beeping sound. My eyelids felt like they were weighed down with bricks, but I managed to crack them open, only to be greeted by the sterile white of a hospital room. My head throbbed, the dull ache a stark reminder of everything I had been through. The events of the day came rushing to my head."You're awake."I turned my head to see Raquel sitting on a chair beside the bed. Kyle left the room that time obviously to get the doctor."I fainted?" I asked slowly, like it wasn't evident enough."Yeah, you've been out for hours now. Thank God you're back. The doctor says it's due to exhaustion and stress," she said, and I let out a sigh. Of course, I had to be affected by everything I went through that day, but never did I expect the next thing."Also... there's something you need to know," she announced, her brows stretching. It sounded so serious, and I had to sit up."Is somethi

Chapter: CHAPTER 2CHAPTER 2HEAVENI didn't know when the tears started streaming down my cheeks. All thanks to the rain. Why must rainfall at this time make me feel more miserable? I wanted to remain strong until the end. I wanted to be okay with everything but I guess I was human after all.I had no choice but to stay at the estate security's shade waiting for the rain to stop. I couldn't enter and risk being given a pitiful look. I couldn't hail a cab at that moment since it was always difficult to see cabs in the area. The network was fluctuating so it was really hard to book a ride. Even if I eventually booked a ride, I had no idea where to go. Should I return to my parents in the countryside? How will I survive without any job? I had lived the past three years as a housewife fully dependent on Atlas. It had started after the doctor claimed I needed to stop working due to the pregnancy but then after feeling a bit better, I had resumed work and ended up losing the pregnancy. Atlas blamed me and

Chapter: CHAPTER 1CHAPTER 1HEAVENI froze, staring hard at the podium."I’d like to make an announcement: my wife—well, ex-wife now—"My eyes widened in confusion. Atlas had only gone to the stage to receive his award. What was he saying?"...we've decided to go our separate ways. Heaven and I are getting divorced. Thank you." I turned to the stage, my vision blurring as Atlas smiled, stepping down like he hadn’t just shattered my world in front of the entire country. Ex-wife? Did I hear him correctly? Was this a nightmare?Gasps filled the air. My breath caught in my throat as I watched him stride off the stage with the award in hand and a wide smile on his face like he hadn't just ruined my day.Was this a bad dream?"This is shocking news! Are you really divorcing your husband?" The interviewer beside me questioned bringing me back to reality.I wasn't hearing things. This was really happening.Atlas just announced our divorce on national TV at the biggest award of the year without me having any
