Her Ex-husband's Deception Pathetic
New York City Jason’s POV I sit at the table, picking at the food in my plate. Alex sits across from me doing the same. We had another argument today about the way she invites people to my house. She claimed that she was free to do whatever she wanted and I happened to compare her stubbornness to Skylar’s mellow personality. She was furious after that and we yelled at each other a lot. I’m suddenly glad that Jared is not here to witness all this. I never argued like this with Skylar. If we disagreed on something, she would agree with me initially, then she’ll tell me the shortcomings of my decisions and we’ll find a compromise. Since she left my life has been a mess. The tabloids are going crazy over the reason for my sudden change in appearance, for worse. The more I sit here and think about everything, the more furious I get. I don’t even know who I’m mad at; myself, for deceiving Skylar, Alex, for convincing me to do all this, or Skylar, for letting me have my way. Part of me th

Pittsburgh Pennsylvania Emilio’s POV The next few months pass quickly. Not much happens other than the fact that Skylar’s pregnancy almost took a turn for the worse after she had a slip on the stairs. The details of the incident is nothing but a blur in my mind, but I vividly remember the fear and horror on her face when I found her lying in a puddle of blood. The whole way to the hospital, I kept praying that I don’t get pulled over with the amount of traffic rules I disobeyed. I had to wait a few hours in the hospital before I could get news about her condition and then I remembered that Val was home alone. I had to call a friend to go get her from the house and about an hour after I got a call from him. Val had apparently woken up and saw the blood that I hadn’t cleaned or covered in my haste. Shed hurt herself in the midst of the panic attack she’d had and he was bringing her to the hospital to get checked for a concussion and the likes. Honestly, those were the most horrible fo

Chapter 9Jason’s POVI’m currently at a bar with a few of my friends. Alex has been keeping me on my toes consistently and I can’t find peace at home. My parents have refused to speak to me, even going as far as to order the security at their house to not let me in.I resorted to drinking out my frustrations. “So…what did she do this time, bro?” My friend, Max asks me, pouring another shot of whiskey in his and my empty glasses.I gulp the liquid down in seconds, relishing in the burn I feel in my throat. “Nothing really. I just have a hard time communicating with her these days. I think I’m in love with my ex wife guys… She’s been in my head weeks before our divorce even.”Tony belts out a laugh at my confession, although I don’t get what’s funny. “Jason, look… I think you’re just hanging onto the familiarity you have with Alex. I don’t think love existed between the both of you even before your marriage. Man, I still can’t believe that I never got to meet your wife… well.. ex

Our relationship has been strained and sometimes I feel like a failure of a sin and a father. My parents decided to raise Jared with the truth about his parents. Jared knows who his mother is, and why she can’t be with him. I think he resents me a little bit for chasing her away, although he doesn’t act or say anything that insinuates that.I immediately stand to greet my mom, with a peck to her cheek. Then I pick Jared up tossing him in the air. I relish in the sound of his innocent giggles. One of the only times he lets go around me.“To what do I owe this visit, your highnesses?” I

Val started attending a new school three days ago and Lorenzo causeda scene at the gate when we dropped her off. I spent half an hour trying to pacify him, before I could leave. I was nervous about taking him out every time I had to run some errands, terrified of running into Jason, but just as Emilio said, the city is large and that, is highly unlikely.Emilio had some trouble with the design of their software, thus the wait before he unveiled the product to the public, but it’s been settled. He just called to inform me that he was bringing a new partner and investor home for dinner, to better get acquainted. I and my part time helper, Lorenzo, spent the day prepping dishes for dinner. I had decided on tomato puree and cheesy toasted bread for the starter course. Although, I had been cr
Her Ex-husband's Deception Realizations and Regrets

I had assumed that she’ll go back to being her adoptive parents name; Jones.When I stepped into the house, the first surprise was the young children that ran up to greet Reynolds. He never mentioned children in our conversation. Then again, we did ride here in separate cars and you can’t talk much that way. I envied him in that moment, though. I wanted a relationship like that with my son. Jared’s relationship with me was more of a military thing, where he waited on me to make the first move or gesture and stuff. Reynolds little boy striking replica of Jared, just with dimples and soft brown eyes. I was just about asking if he was actually Reynolds son when she walked in.My heart stopped beating for a moment, then it went into a frenzy. She looked even more beautiful than ever, walking do

I wake up to him, humming a random tune and playing with my hair.“Good morning buddy!” I greet him, earning a shy ‘morning Daddy!’ back. “Did you sleep good?’ I ask him, grabbing him and placing him on my lap. I lightly tickle him tummy, eliciting giggles from him. He takes a few over exaggerated breaths to calm down, before flashing his milk teeth at me and answering my question.“I slept the best, Dad! because you were here and mommy’s coming back!” he exclaims. Ah! How could I forget the events of the past hours.I give him a big smile. “Of course! Mommy’s gonna meet you soon, big guy!” I tell him trying as much as possible to match his enthusiasm this early in the morning.
