Divorced in Love CHAPTER 50- FEROCIOUS
AUTHOR'S POVBEFORE SUNSET, SYDNEY'S head injury was catered to, and her head was wrapped in a bandaid. She'd been lucky Doctor Natasha was still on duty when she arrived since the other doctors were adamant about attending to her.The morning sun ray found its way through her closed eyelids causing her to stir and turn till her eyes were open.Yawning and wincing at the same time, Sydney sat up sorely. She glanced at Ethan who was sleeping in the hospital chair next to her bed. Relief washed over her knowing he didn't run away.The ward door opened, and Sofia walked in; when she saw Sydney conscious, she heaved a sigh of relief." Thank God, you are awake," Sofia said softly, so Ethan wouldn't wake up.A grim smile tugged her succulent lips as she sat beside Sydney.She had seen the news before Ethan called. She had been to Sydney's house quite a few times after Avery moved in. It made her shrivel knowing Mr. Reed would cheat on his wife and not just with any woman, with her best fri
Divorced in Love CHAPTER 51- DATE
AUTHOR'S POV Gabriel walked to Sydney's room with his heart lurching. Every single sound, faint or loud, echoed through the walls of his head. He could hear the pulsating beeping of a life monitor. The sound rummaged his mind. He felt like getting out of this place. Hospitals never did him any good. This one especially. He'd lost two people dearest to him here. Both deaths were his fault. He could just hear the raging thunderclaps. The turbulent storm. The sounds of nurses running through the floors of the hospital while wheeling a stretcher. The woman on the stretcher. The blood. The suffering on her struggling face. Gabriel sucked a loud breath and held the wall for support. Not now, not now, Gabriel, get a hold of yourself. At that moment, he regretted not regarding his father's advice on getting medical help. A nurse saw him and quickly ran to him while holding a medical kit. " Sir, are you all right?" No, he wasn't. He had never been. Gabriel shut his eyes, q
Divorced in Love CHAPTER 52- INSANE
AUTHOR'S POVDOCTOR NATASHA HAD ADVISED Sydney stay in the Hospital for two days before she can be dismissed. Gabriel had kept Sydney's company up until the evening when he had to leave to deliver some lumber. He promised to return when he was done.Gavin sat in front of Avery's ward trying to burn his jealously before he'd say or do anything he'd regret.It took him all of his self-control not to barge into Sydney's ward and give her a piece of his mind.She looked so happy without him in her life. Yes, he wanted her to get out of his life but he never expected it to hurt so much. His thoughts were disturbed when Avery limped out of the ward. He felt the urge to walk away. Everything got on his nerves now.Avery looked at him and rolled her eyes. Was he always in a foul mood? Sometimes she wished she could poison him and end his misery.Putting on a pretentious tone, she said, " Baby what's wrong? Why the long face?"Gavin didn't look at her when he got up." Go into your ward, Aver
Divorced in Love CHAPTER 53- DANGEROUS
AUTHOR'S POV AVERY WAS ABOUT TO SCREAM when Gabriel wrapped his hand around her mouth. Her eyes were wide with shock and fear as she got a good look at him. His hair was moist with sweat from delivering lumber and he looked weary. Moving in and out of Beverly Hills to deliver lumber was by means no small feet. It exhausted him greatly. He was second guessing if to return to the heinous Hospital, but he had no choice; he had promised Sydney he'd be back, and he wasn't the type to go back on his promise. His eyes warned Avery not to scream as he slid his hand off her cigarette-wilted lips. Avery stood firmly and glared at him. " How dare you drag me that way?" She snarled. Gabriel corked his brows sardonically. " Sorry, I forgot you had a twisted leg." He said with raw sarcasm. Avery blushed in embarrassment. She'd forgotten she was pretending to be wounded. Thank God no one saw her. " Can you get straight to the point?" Avery said smugly. " I warned you not to harm Sydney's,
Divorced in Love CHAPTER 54- TASTE
AUTHOR'S POV THE FRONT BELL OF GERUND'S diner dinged as Gil and Sofia walked in, hand in hand. Sofia smiled nervously as she looked around the crowded diner. It was filled with high schoolers and young couples. Sofia rubbed her elbow. She'd wanted some peace and quiet while having dinner with Gil, but she didn't mind. Gil wrapped his hand around her waist and drew her to him. He looked at the fading hickey on her neck and smiled before moving his lips close to her ear. " What's wrong, you are tense?" He asked making her more tense. She forced a smile. " I'm just not fond of crowded places." " You want to go somewhere else?" " No, no, it's fine. " Gil paid a couple sitting by the window so they could use their booth. Sofia slid into the chair in front of him. " Thank you." " Don't mention it." Gil smiled nervously. He was supposed to use the money to pay off the tax commissioner; instead, he used it on a woman. Gil felt sick in the stomach. He didn't know wh
Divorced in Love CHAPTER 55- SCAM
AVERY WENT SEARCHING FOR GAVIN when she didn't see him in her ward. She found him in an empty ward, muscles taut with his face in his palms.She halted for a while and stared at him, her face shaped into a wry sneer. Even if she wasn't able to make him stop loving his wife, she could turn it the other way around. She could use his jealousy for her benefit and make Sydney dread the ground he walked upon.She smirked. Sydney's biggest mistake was not telling her husband about her mother's alignment.Standing by the door, Avery voiced, " I saw you two, Gavin; when would you stop being such a fool."Gavin ignored her, making her talk to him in a fury." You heard what I said, Gavin."His head snapped up, his eyes red with anger as he glared at her. " And what the f**k do you want me to do with that information?"Avery smiled grimly and winced as she squatted, holding his face. She looked at him with hypnotic eyes." Don't tell me you are still in love with her after everything she has don
Divorced in Love CHAPTER 56- DEATH
AUTHOR'S POVSYDNEY SNUCK OUT OF HER ward despite Doctor Natasha telling her not to. She couldn't waste a second more, she needed the money urgently. She limped quickly around the hospital, her eyes glistening as she searched for her husband." Mrs. Reed, you aren't meant to be out of your ward. " A nurse voiced in concern.That didn't make Sydney stop, she limped faster, her breathing sharp as her eyes scanned left, right, and center for her husband. Her heart raced when she saw through an open ward door, a dead woman being covered while her family cried.Sydney shook her head, tears running down her cheek. " Gavin, where are you?" By the corner of her eyes, Sydney saw Gavin by the last floor, heading towards the exit. Ignoring the pains in her body, she ran down the stairs, at the last stair, Sydney lost her balance and nearly fell to the ground but was saved once again by Gabriel.He looked at her with wide eyes. " Sydney, what are you doing here, aren't you supposed to be in you
Divorced in Love CHAPTER 57- DEVASTATION
AUTHOR'S POVGAVIN HALF SAT ON HIS ROOM DESK NEXT to the floor-to-ceiling window, holding a glass of white wine. The room was dimly lit and grim, matching the look on his face.His heart bled as his mind waltzed back to earlier. What hasn't he given Sydney before? Why did she want to leave him so badly? Fine, he told her he didn't want her in his life again but he didn't expect her to find another man.She wasn't affected by him anymore. She hated his kiss and touch. The thought made Gavin go crazy.He drank the whole glass of wine and grimaced at the sour taste." F**k it!" He growled and ran a hand through his hair. " She wants to elope with him." He filled the glass and emptied it immediately." She wants to leave me so bad she used her mother to try to get to me." He stood, raising his hand in the air." God knows what she'd done with that guy. Yes, I cheated on her but that's because she freaking made pushed me to. She depressed me. I loved her but she never loved me. She loved t

Divorced in Love CHAPTER 85- NIGHTMARE
GABRIEL SPENT THE NEXT two hours staring at the sky. He was freezing. It was the first time he'd felt so cold. His mind kept on reeling on every unpleasant thing he'd done. Things he had been told. Things he'd seen. Things that could have happened differently if he'd controlled his emotions; if he'd listened to the warnings.Ethan reminded him greatly about his childhood. What his mother's infidelity had caused him. There was no one to help him and pull him out of his misery. There was no one willing to sit and understand what was wrong with him and he was unwilling to believe anything was wrong with him.Gabriel walked into the house. He passed by Sydney's room and saw she was asleep. He went to Ethan's room and pushed the door open quietly. Ethan was moving on the bed. His eyes were tightly shut. A wince was planted across his face as he kept on turning. He seemed to be having a nightmare." Don't shoot him, don't shoot him please." Ethan cried.Gabriel went to him quickly, he sat
Divorced in Love CHAPTER 84- FAVOR
" Charlotte, you should have spent Christmas with your boyfriend; he must be feeling down without you with him."Gabriel returned to the dining room just in time to hear his father change the topic from politics. Alfred had visited Gabriel as soon as his spies delivered news that Sydney and her kid had left Gabriel's place. He insisted Gabriel followed him home for Christmas. Gabriel was adamant at first but when he remembered his father was a lonely man with no one except him and Charlotte, he had to agree.Charlotte blushed and slipped out her hand under Alfred's to brush a strand of hair off her face." It's my obligation to spend the holidays with my husband." Alfred smirked and took a bite out of his chicken breast. " Did that apply to all your ex-husbands also?"Gabriel slid into the chair next to his father. Gabriel wasn't a bit surprised by his father's indifference towards Charlotte's infidelity. They were more of friends than husband and wife. Alfred lost his attraction t
Divorced in Love CHAPTER 83- DEPRESSION
GAVIN'S LEGS WERE MADE of ten pounds of steel. He was motionless. Deaf. All he could hear was the faint echo of Ethan's name on Alejandro's scarred lips.Sydney's eyes were like the moon as she ran behind Gavin, nearly knocking him off. " Ethan, are you okay? Jesus Christ what if it touched you." Sydney's arms were around Ethan's body, shaking. He was still screaming. He couldn't stop screaming.The bullet managed to pass through the space between the outline of his cheek and shoulder, making its way into the glass wall.By the time Gavin regained his ability to move, Christopher had poured out of the house, his eyes wide in matching shock. Mathilda was hiding behind a wall in case there'd be another gunshot.Christopher looked between the wall and Gavin. " Holy shit, how did this happen?"" Someone please call the police and an ambulance. He isn't moving." Sydney screamed.Gavin was stumbling as he walked to Ethan. He pulled Sydney gently away from him and grabbed Ethan's raised sho
Divorced in Love CHAPTER 82- CHRISTMAS
THE SCENT OF ROAST CHICKEN consumed the whole of Gavin's smart house. Gavin had hired a few excellent chefs to cook up something for the feast since he knew barely anything about cooking and Avery refused to get out of her room.She'd been behaving uncanny for some weeks, his conscience pricked him to ask her what was wrong. When he did, it didn't end well. Gavin nearly had a knife in his heart. She kept on screaming it was his fault she was in this position and chased him around the house with a knife.He promised himself to stay at least ten feet away from her.He'd expected her to be locked up in her room during the feast but she was the first at the table.Sydney came in five minutes to the stipulated time. She mustered all the strength in her not to lose her composure. The house looked exactly how she'd left it but it felt a whole lot different. It was like a shallow pit sucking her into memories. Memories she so desperately wants to forget.Sydney looked at the couch. She reme
Divorced in Love CHAPTER 81— CONFESS
SYDNEY WATCHED THE waves form and crash. Her heart was colder than the snow falling, tighter than the pressure from the oxygenless point of the sea. Her heart wanted to split and burst.She had just wanted to look at the sea with a smile on her face and no care in the world before Gavin called.She wondered why she answered his call so quickly. There was something wrong somewhere, she felt it. It was like he was going to be wiped out of existence if she didn't take his call.She had a dream the previous night. Gavin was sitting on a wooden bench in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by mists. A phone was held to his ear. He was shaking. Saying something about Ethan. Then the phone dropped and so did his body. The mist turned red.Sydney was breathing a little too hard when she asked him how their kids were. He noticed it." You are breathing uneasily, what's wrong?" He sounded so genuine it made her stomach churn.She wanted to tell him. " Nothing." But she couldn't.Gavin sighed, " Th
Divorced in Love CHAPTER 80- CABINET
" Why don't you sing a Christmas song for us, ehn friend?"Gabriel clutched the knife he used to cut into his turkey a little bit tighter. Gil had been getting on his nerves since he served Dinner and sat a couple distance away from him. " Oh, I forgot, you mix auto with tenor and soprano with bass." Gil chuckled on the glass of water placed in his mouth. " We don't want your bad voice ruining Christmas Eve."Sofia intervened quickly. She grabbed Gil's face in her palm and made him look at her " Why are you being such an a**hole? Stop it. "Gil didn't look at her. His eyes were fixated on Gabriel's angry ones. They looked like they were ready to jump on each other. No one spoke again. There was a foul aura around the dinette. It was like everyone had beef with each other except Gil and Sofia. Sydney made sure to avoid eye contact with Gabriel who wouldn't stop passing glances at her.She felt like a pile of rubbish after what she'd done. She didn't want her and Gabriel's friendshi
Divorced in Love CHAPTER 79- DEALS
" It's sweet of Gabriel to cook up the meals. " Sofia remarked as she lay on a chaise lounge watching Gabriel cook. She moaned at the aroma of the turkey. It was freezing on the yacht, but Sofia and Sydney couldn't care less. They didn't want to miss the serene views of birds flying across the waters, waves crashing, and whatnot. Sydney hadn't felt any sense of relaxation since Gabriel professed his affection for her. She wanted to believe it was some sort of joke or dream. He must have been feeling lonely and needed a shoulder to lean on, and Sydney was there for him. Maybe that's why he confused their friendship for love. The heart is a tool the devil uses to ruin people's life. Ruin friendships. Ruin good relationships. She reckoned. The only source of relaxation she found was when she stepped into Blake's yacht. It was a good thing she'd accepted his offer. Ethan and Emily would love it here. She would have loved to bring them, but Gavin called and said he wanted them
Divorced in Love CHAPTER 78- ROSES
AUTHOR'S POV " Your check is on the dining room table, pick it up when you are done. And don't you dare go into my wife's room; I don't want you looking through her closet." Sherwin Peters said disdainfully to Gil before picking up a coat and leaving. Gil sent two middle fingers to his back and growled, " Open your eyes, a**hole; your wife is cheating on you with a seventy-two-year-old horse rider." Gil sighed when he realized he was talking to himself. He raked his fingers through his hair and looked at the broken fence through the kitchen window. " I need to get myself a real job. Joseph would also have if he existed in the 21st century." He laughed at himself. He was a worthless piece of shit. He thought. He couldn't even hold one woman he'd like— lust for. " Don't think of her, Gil, she must be having an orgasm for that b**tard she was holding hands with. What man even paints his fingernails? He must have a really small— shut up Gil, that's enough." He groaned an
Divorced in Love CHAPTER 77- TOUCH
WHEN SYDNEY'S RETURNED, the house was silent. Gabriel's bike wasn't parked outside, so she wasn't sure he had returned yet. She hoped he was fine. Sydney was tired. Exhausted. Despite how much she didn't want Gavin to know where she lived, he still found out. There was no cab in sight, Sydney's legs were boneless from the roller coaster ride and Gavin offered her a ride she couldn't resist. Gavin was impressed with Gabriel's home. It fitted a psychotic hoi pol-loi like him. Despite being tired, Sydney read Ethan and Emily to sleep. When they fell asleep, she kissed their forehead and released a shudder. Hugging herself, she walked out of the room. It was like the temperature dropped every second. Sydney heard sounds coming from the television. With the hopes of seeing Gabriel in the living room, she went there but saw no one. The living room smelt like a turkey sandwich and tea. " Strange." She mouthed and turned off the television. Maybe he'd watched a movie and gone to bed.
