Chapter: Chapter 9: Elope, NOW!I ran out of breath from sprinting to the car in such a way. My life is most likely in danger because why would three of these men who play weird roles in my life come together?Ethan acted so weirdly. Walked in without saying a word, and I couldn't stop thinking about what had just happened.I only came here to return the divorce papers and look at all that has happened in merely 3 hours.“Who on earth called me at such a time?” “Next time when trying to pull such a stunt, remember to put your damn phone on airplane mode Emily,” I spoke to myself out loud“Oh, Aunt Claudia! Just the person I need to speak to. But I don't think this is a conversation I needed to have out loud.” I muttered, staring at Richard through the sides of my eyes to make sure he wasn't focused on my clumsiness.“I am on my way back Aunty but once I get in, I really need to talk to you. Let me know if you're home. If you're not, tell me where you are so I can come to you.”“Great. Now I pray she sees that text

Chapter: Chapter 8: The More the MerrierEmily POVMy prospective new life had just ended right before my eyes. I sat nearly lifeless as Richard and I drove back home. Tears blurred my eyes and I could barely see the road.“Eric wants to destroy my life,” I muttered to myself. My tears couldn't hold itself back after I blinked again. What can I do to get out of this? He wanted this divorce at first and I gladly gave him what he wanted. But yet again, I am suffering for this.My thoughts were all over the place and the sad Lofi music Richard played in the car heightened this sad emotion well enough.Tears kept trickling down my cheeks, so I reached over my shoulder to yank my cotton scarf.“Oh my gosh!” my eyes widened almost immediately.“Where is my scarf?”“Are you comfortable over there ma’am?” Richard asked as he stole a glance at me through the rare mirror.“I can't find my vintage scarf!” my breath shuddered and my eyes fluttered quickly as I tried to search myself.“It was passed down to me from my mother and I mispl

Chapter: Chapter 7: Mr JonesEric’s POVI knew for a fact that I needed to prepare for this meeting today but I severely lost track of the date. Mr Jones was such a tough man to handle. Barely took no for an answer. What would I have told him if he had walked into the middle of that weird episode Emily and I just had?“Gosh! Eric!! Use your damn brain!!” I was screaming internally at this point.“He loved his daughter but he still loved the money and my father made sure he got that when he sold off his daughter to a weird young man from a rich home.”I cleared the table in a rush and tried to make the living room feel as fresh as though no one had walked in there that day.“Could he recognize the fact that his daughter had just been here? Maybe her perfume still hovered around?”I kept on asking myself these questions as I panic-ran around the house tidying things up.My thoughts were creeping up on me and it nearly became a battle.The lavender air freshener was right by the kitchen table and I reached out to g

Chapter: Chapter 6: Eric’s GameEric’s POVI stumped out of Emily’s presence with so much rage but I did try to keep it cool. What a struggle!“One could likely think I am bipolar. Luckily I haven’t been diagnosed with that. Yet.” I thought to myself with a slight grin on my face. But who on earth does she think she is!? Well, to be fair, I was the one who asked for a divorce in the first place and that's only because she caught me cheating.Typical Emily! Always snooping around places she isn't meant to be.I tried to bring my anger down to about thirty per cent before I walked back to her face again.A part of me felt elated to see her frozen and still gazing at me as I paced around the house to cool off. What an awesome sight to behold.“I do not want a divorce anymore.” I smiled as I walked towards where she stood.“But why? You asked for this. And I am giving you what you asked for.”“You made me beg Eric. I begged you to stay. I was willing to stay. But you pushed me out like I murdered your mother.”“And no

Chapter: Chapter 5: The Divorce Package I had a hard time sleeping through the night. For hours I could not help but wonder who could have sent such a weird yet anonymous text to me.Keeping malice with people or fighting with them has never been my thing so who could possibly have so much hate towards me at this point of my life?My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of my alarm as it went off.“What? 5 am already? How was I up all through the night?”I wouldn't deny that I was so scared to close my eyes as long as I could see that it was still dark.“But I need to get some sleep, at least for an hour,” I said to myself as I tried to shift my thoughts away from the divorce and try to think of something else.Sleep came through for only an hour and 30 minutes and it felt as though I slept for about 5 hours which made me feel like I had some level of energy for the day.I sat up in bed as I stared at the divorce papers. Wondering again if I made the right decision. At this point, it didn't matter if the decision was rig

Chapter: Chapter 4: Ashley, Walter, Wine“Who in the world was that?” Ashley stretched her words in a whisper and her eyes were beaming with excitement.“I should be asking you. I’m the one that is new here” I responded with a straight face as I took a small bite of my cake.“Well, I have been here and I don't think I have ever noticed that man before but he looks cute and rich”“He sure does.”We had an intense laugh about the moment and continued with our breakfast. I tried not to show so much excitement, even though some part of me felt elated. But I knew for a fact I didn't have the right to feel happy. At least that was what I believed. Mainly because the divorce isn't even finalized yet so why should even have such a positive feeling towards another man?I had such a good moment with Ashley while I tried so hard not to get distracted by switching gazes between my friend and this stunning young man a few seats away from me.Right in the middle of our conversation, the waiter walked down to our table with a full bottle
