A House Is Not A Home
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56The drive to Jonathan’s house was spent in tense silence with Jonathan stealing secret glances at Liza. The beautiful white double storied house came into view as they rounded around the corner. Jonathan stopped the car and turned off the engine. He went around to Liza’s side to open the gate for her but before he could do it for her, she had already opened it and had begun to step out of it. She was struggling to step out due to the plaster in her hand and ankle. Just two more weeks and then it will be off, she thought. Jonathan touched her ankle in an attempt to help her to lift it out of the narrow foot space of the car, but as soon as he touched it Liza jerked it off. Her face was expressionless and her eyes were as cold as chilly arctic wind.
“At least let me help you with it,” Jonathan said, Liza paused her shuffling for a minute before trying to lift it out for one last time before simply nodding and giving him a ‘go ahead’ look. Tak

Jonathan knocked on Liza’s door, on receiving no answer he cracked the door open only to find her sleeping. He entered the room, closing the door gently behind him, and sat beside her. Liza’s hair was splayed over the pillow and her eyes were fluttering behind her closed eyelids, a small smile graced her lips and he wondered what she was dreaming about,’ certainly not about you’ his inner self poke. Suddenly her smile disappeared and her breathing became labored and within seconds she began screaming and thrashing. Jonathan shook her “Liza, it's fine. It’s alright baby. It is just a nightmare. You are alright Liza. I am here, I am always with you baby.” He soothed her. After a few minutes of soothing Liza’s nightmare had died down and she was once again asleep peaceful. Jonathan had forgotten how horrible Liza’s nightmares had been. He regretted letting her spend so many nights alone, letting her battle with these nightmares alon
Broken Promises: Letters From An Ex-Wife Out
After Jonathan’s failed attempt to seek an apology, Liza had spent most of her time locked up in her room. Jonathan hadn’t heard a single sound from her and honestly, Liza’s silence terrified him more than her words. It was nearly 9 pm when Jonathan knocked on Liza’s door. ’Um….hey Liza, I know you don’t want to even hear my voice and that you hate me right now but please eat something. It is time for you to take your medicines.” he said through the door. Liza didn’t give any response so Jonathan knocked again “Come on Liza, I know that you are angry but it is not the way to deal with issues between. Just eat your dinner and I won’t even bother you.” He was once again met by silence. “Come on Liza open the fucking door” he shouted through it and knocked it again and again, till Liza opened the door.Liza’s hair was disheveled, her eyes had red rings around them as if she had been crying
Broken Promises: Letters From An Ex-Wife Alex
"Hi, Alex" Liza grinned. It felt good to see Alex after so many years. "Hey," he said in a daze. Liza pulled out a chair and sat across him. "Well.... this is awkward," Liza said as she sat there looking at him in silence.Alex rubbed the back of his neck "never thought it will be awkward between us... huh, Jigglypuff" Alex said with a slight chuckle.Liza's heart warmed as he used her old nick-name. "Never Snorelax" she retorted back and just like that they busted out laughing. It was the first time in many months when Liza had let out a genuine laugh. The awkwardness between them melted away and they both regained their composure, ignoring the weird looks people around them were giving them.Alex asked Liza “How are you, Liz?” I am fine. I have been better but I am alright" Liza replied, not knowing how to answer her friend who hasn't been in touch with her for nearly seven years and then had called her to meet up out of the blue. Liza couldn't exa
Broken Promises: Letters From An Ex-Wife White Box
Jonathan paced back and forth in his room. It had been two days since he had last talked to Liza and Alice would be coming back any day now. He had wasted all the time he had in being Jealous and overbearing. He hated the fact he somehow always ended up hurting Liza. He could never do it right. He had tried numerous times but he always said the wrong words. He knew that he was being selfish by asking Liza to forgive him and give him a second chance but he couldn't help it. Liza was like a drug for him and he couldn't get enough of her. He had made a grave mistake when he had let himself get blinded by Stacy's charms and had let go of the most important woman in his life. Liza was too precious to be lost, he had cheated on her, broken her trust, and had lost his faith in her.Liza hated grand gestures. She had never been a fan of them, so Jonathan knew that performing grand gestures was not an option for earning her apology. He had to think of something which was like Liza, war

Broken Promises: Letters From An Ex-Wife The Decision
Liza had been nervous all day. She had been second-guessing her decision and now as she looked at herself in the mirror all dressed up, she still wasn't sure if she was making the right choice. Liza suddenly wished that there was an on and off switch for the feelings. It would have been so much easier for her, had she been numb, she would have left Jonathan easily without a moment of hesitation but since she still had feelings for him, she had to suffer now. Liza hated being so conflicted. It was difficult not to second guess herself when her heart was on the line.Liza had been through so much pain and she didn't want to be in pain anymore.

"You didn't even look up to see, who was it. What if it was one of those annoying people you don't want to meet?" she asked. "First of all who said you were not annoying and secondly Dave wouldn't have let you in if I didn't want to meet you" he said, still looking at the file. "At least look at me when you are talking. I just came back from Paris and you can't even spare few minutes to talk about the meal you do is work. Why don't you ever take a break?" Alice said pouting. Jonathan sighed as he kept the file aside and looked at her. "Are you happy now?” he asked. "Somewhat, but now I have to see your shitty face," she said lightly, teasing him.

Broken Promises: Letters From An Ex-Wife Epilogue
Have you ever read something, so familiar as if it is your own life story? Did you feel the growing sense of recognition in your stomach? Or have you felt the sympathy that you wished someone felt when you were suffering? Well, Liza did. As she read each word of the manuscript in her hand, she felt the growing sense of familiarity. She wanted to reach out and console the female protagonist of the novel, she wanted to wipe her tears and tell her that it will be better when that girl found out that her husband was cheating on her. It felt as if she was living it all again and though it had been nearly three years those memories still brought tears to her eyes.Liza sat there in her office all night reading through the manuscript, as the female protagonist confronted her husband, kicked him in the balls (something that Liza wished she had done). The lead of the novel was much more independent than Liza ever was, she was one of those characters with whom you wouldn't want to mess
