Hello,Husband,Goodbye Bound to him
My disbelief was palpable as I listened to his words. Sitting across from me, he made an outrageous proposition."What?!" I exclaimed, my brows furrowing in disbelief.He trembled as he spoke, his voice filled with desperation."I'll only sign the divorce papers if you agree to stay here with me and our son, pretending that we are a happy family."My jaw dropped in shock. This was not the conversation I had anticipated. I had come here hoping for closure, to finally move on from our failed marriage. But now, he was suggesting something entirely unexpected.A mix of emotions swirled within me - confusion, anger, and sadness battled for dominance. How could he even think I would agree to such a ludicrous idea? After everything I had endured with him, how could he expect me to play the role of a contented family?"Marcus, what on earth are you talking about?" I asked, struggling to maintain composure."We both know our marriage is over. Why would you want us to pretend otherwise?"Avoidi
Hello,Husband,Goodbye Unexpected
He declared, "I allow you to give him with what he wants."As I sat across from Elijah, gazing into his eyes, I couldn't help but marvel at his unwavering commitment."Are you absolutely certain about this?" I asked, my voice filled with both gratitude and concern.Elijah let out a deep sigh, his hand reaching out to hold mine, offering a comforting squeeze."I understand that it won't be easy, but if it means your ex-husband finally signs those divorce papers and we can begin our new life together, then I'm more than willing to endure it."Guilt washed over me, knowing that it was my past mistakes that had led us to this complicated situation."Just negotiate with him," Marcus had suggested, but it was Elijah who had stepped up, showing incredible understanding and compassion.I embraced him tightly, expressing my gratitude for his understanding. "I can't wait for the day we can finally get married," he whispered, his voice filled with hope."Thank you, my love," I whispered back, ov
Hello,Husband,Goodbye Stay with him
"Quick, call the doctor!" I exclaimed, my voice filled with panic.In a frenzy, Marcus shouted for the doctor, urgently summoning them to the room. The doctor and nurses rushed in, their presence bringing a sense of urgency to the situation.Kneeling beside his mother's bed, tears streamed down Marcus' face as he pleaded with the doctor to save her. The desperation in his eyes was palpable, the fear of losing his mother forever consuming him."Please, Doc, you have to save my mother's life," he cried, his voice filled with desperation. "I'm begging you."In that moment, all the anger and resentment I had towards Marcus faded away. The only thing that mattered was the fragile state of his mother's life, and we both found ourselves praying for a miracle.Drawing closer to the bed, my gaze fixated on Marcus' mother. She appeared so delicate and pale, her breaths shallow and feeble. My heart raced as I watched the doctors frantically work to revive her.Turning to Marcus, I placed a comfo
Hello,Husband,Goodbye Co-Parenting
I was taken aback by his question. After all he had a courage to say that? After the pain he caused me? I couldn't believe he was asking me this now. But I could see the sincerity in his eyes and I knew he needed an answer.I swallowed my own saliva and my heart beat suddenly stopped due to the tension. We just looked at each other, the silence between us growing heavier.But before I could answer, we were interrupted by a little boy's voice. We both looked behind and saw our son Marco crying. He ran towards us and I could see the fear in his eyes.“Marco,”we uttered. “Dad, mom, I had a bad dream,”he cried.I immediately got up and went to comfort him, while Marcus followed close behind. We both hugged our son, trying to calm him down.As I held Marco in my arms, I couldn't help but think about how much he resembled his father. He had the same dark hair and piercing blue eyes.I saw how much of a daddy's boy Marco was and it melted my heart. Despite the tension between us, I couldn't
Hello,Husband,Goodbye Elijah's here!
I couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt in my chest. How could I answer such a complex question from my young son? How could I tell him that sometimes, things change and people drift apart?Before I could come up with an answer, my phone rang. I apologized to Marco and told him that I needed to take the call. It was from Elijah and I didn’t expect he would come here to visit me.“Wait for me here, son,”I said to Marco. As I answered the phone, I could feel Marco's sad eyes on me. He was always so perceptive, even at his young age. I tried to keep the conversation with Elijah short, but he wanted to let me know that he was outside the house. He wanted to drop by and see me.“I’m here waiting for you outside the house,”Elijah said.“Wait,” I replied.I hung up the phone and turned to Marco, I told him about Elijah. But I’m wondering about his reaction. He was just silent and obviously not interested to see him.“Daddy Elijah is here, son,” I said. I quickly made my way downstairs to
Hello,Husband,Goodbye Jealousy
Unable to believe what I was seeing. Memories of the past flooded my mind and I could feel the anger building up inside me.I shook my head, trying to push away the negative thoughts. Marcus never changed.He was always the same, always chasing after her. And here I was, with our son, in front of me.“Let’s go, Marco,” I said, my voice shaking with anger as I grabbed my son’s hand and pulled him towards me.I wanted to get out of there as soon as possible before I did something I would regret.“Wait, where is dad, mom?” Marco asked, confused by my sudden urgency.“He’s waiting outside,” I lied, not wanting to tell my son what I saw.Just then, I heard Marcus calling out my name from a distance.“Sam! Sam!” Marcus called me.I didn’t want to hear him, but Marco stopped and pulled my hand, his eyes sparkling with excitement.“Wait, mom. Daddy is there oh!” he exclaimed, pointing towards Marcus.I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down as I stopped walking. I didn’t want my son t
Hello,Husband,Goodbye His regret
I was taken aback by his suggestion. Was he serious?I couldn't help but wonder why he was suddenly suggesting this now.But before I could voice my thoughts, he continued, "What do you think, Sam?” “I don't think Elijah will agree with this.” I responded.“Sam, this is not all about Elijah but our son,” he told me.I looked at Marco and I saw the disappointment in his eyes at my reaction.“Okay. I think we can celebrate it in the house with his friends,” I suggested, hoping to find a compromise.But Marcus had a different idea in mind. “We can bring his friends to the resort. One of your resorts. You can show our son how nice the resort you own is. He will inherit that soon, so I think he must experience it on his birthday,” he said, his smile turning into a sly grin.I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease at his words. Was he trying to manipulate me again? Marcus had a habit of using his charm to get what he wanted, and I had fallen for it countless times in the past.“Mommy, I
Hello,Husband,Goodbye Respect
I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. Marcus had always been good at manipulating me, making me doubt my own feelings. But not this time. Not anymore.“If you have no respect for me before, at least respect my relationship with Elijah,” I said firmly, my eyes locked with his.Marcus's face contorted in anger. “What relationship? You barely know him. He's just your lover, I'm still your husband"I couldn't help but laugh at his words. “You really think that's all he is to me? Marcus, you never understood me. You never saw how much I loved Elijah, even when we were still together now”Marcus's jaw dropped in shock and I saw the pain in his eyes.“Calm down. I’m just kidding,” he said but obviously pretending.I shook my head, feeling pity for Marcus. ”I won't let you ruin my happiness now,”With that, I turned around and walked away and left him at the veranda. Marcus was just a distant memory now, a reminder of the pain that I had finally let go of.As we walked away, I cou
