It gets to George’s turn and mom looks at dad who has been sitting quietly with a smile. Mom holds his hands, and nods her head. Dad reaches into his pocket and brings out a key, handing it over to George. Up until now, I thought dad didn’t recognize anybody. But that’s not how Alzheimer's works, right?

George is in awe as he slowly takes the key from him, and I wonder what the key means. “Oh my God.” I hear Martha sobs with her hands over her mouth.

“Is this…” George looks at mom, and she nods.

Is this what…? Gosh the suspense is killing me.

“Is that a key to a Benz? Or am I missing something.” I figure no one is ready to say anything if I don’t ask.

“Is the key to Grab a bite.”

“Wait, Dad’s store?” Dad had a fast food counter. He sold the best burger in town. He loved it. We loved it. I remember getting excited every saturday because I get to spend the whole day at Grab a bite, helping daddy serve customers, while Martha and George would do the dishes. It was practically dad’s leg

    "I want a divorce," he said."Yeah, right." I smiled. "I'll have some chicken ribs, please," I said to the waitress."Yes ma'am." She nodded and then walked out. I raised my head, smiling at my husband, but he was giving me a grumpy look."What is it?" I asked. We were supposed to be happy. It was our 21st anniversary. I couldn't believe we made it this far. Our marriage has not been so perfect, but we have always found a way to settle things."Didn't you hear what I said?" His fingers curled into a fist right on the table. Wait a minute, was he being serious? I scoffed and said "are you being serious?" "Do I look like I'm joking?" My head spined, and it was as if the whole world was coming down on me. I didn't see this coming. Well, there was a part of me that had been expecting this, and the other part was praying this day would never come. "Lorenzo, did I do something wrong?" I asked.He opened his mouth to say something but I shut him up by saying, "If I did, I'm sorry, we can

    I fell to the chair, staring at the paper. After 21 years. After everything I have endured in this Marriage thinking it was going to get better some day. I was really waiting for my happy ending. Agatha came and sat next to me. I could see the worries in her eyes."What do I do?" I said, blank staring at the paper."You have to fight for your marriage, don't give up now."Agatha had a point, I wasn't ready to let Lorenzo go. I loved him so much. Despite how poorly he had treated me, my love for him was still strong. "You are right, I need to save my marriage." I stood up.Agatha nodded with smiles."I'll be back," I said, rushing out."Where are you going?!" I heard Agatha's voice."To save my Marriage!" I shouted. When I got outside, I saw Carlos standing beside my GLE, so I insisted on taking my white Porsche. "Carlos, can I have the key to the Porsche?""Going somewhere ma'am?""Yeah. But I'll drive there myself.""But ma'am, that's my job.""It's fine Carlos, relax. I'll driv

    One thing was certain, I wasn't going to let Lisa live with her father. Yes, I knew Lorenzo loved her, but I wasn't so sure about the woman he was going to bring home.As I dragged my luggage out of my room, "Mom," Lisa called me, and I turned to her. "Have a lovely Christmas. Be merry, you deserve it." I smiled. Lisa had been the only good thing that has ever come out from Lorenzo, aside the money and the luxury. When I stepped out of my room, Agatha saw me and immediately put down the squeegee she was using to wipe the windows, and rushed to me."Sarah, where are you going?" I saw the worries in her eyes. "I tried, Agatha. I really, really tried." "Oh dear...so what now?" Agatha knew exactly what I've gone through in the hands of Lorenzo. She had been my right hand person for a very long time, and if I was going to leave Lorenzo, which I was, I would really miss her."I'm going to my mother's house for the holidays. I need to clear my head.""Yes, yes, you should, dear. Be safe.

    During dinner I forgot my plight. But now, I wasn't able to sleep. Everything replayed in my head. It had been a long night.The morning bell rang, and woke me up. The Christmas song playing downstairs was banging my head. And I just remembered that Christmas at my mother's house wasn't so peaceful. It was a disturbance of joy.I rose from bed, and surprisingly saw My luggage inside my little room. My room was exactly how I left it, but it was cleaner than I recalled. I changed into another sweatshirt and went downstairs. I saw Martha dancing with her family. This put a smile on my face, but it also made me sad. Michael might not be as rich or as handsome as Lorenzo, but he was a caring husband, and he loved his family. How did I make the wrong decision to marry Lorenzo? Was it the money? Was it the fame? Was it his looks? No! I could have sworn he loved me from the depth of his soul, just like I did. I remembered how he would always call me at night to hear my voice, and how he never

    "Dad, I thought you had plans?" "Yeah. But your grandma called and I couldn't say no." I knew it. My mother was the one who invited him over. I knew he was aware that I was at my mother's house. That was the only reason he agreed to come. He had no shame. I felt like stabbing him with his cutlery. "Happy Anniversary," my mother said, and I felt pain. Lorenzo looked at me then forced a smile, "thank you." "Ohhh, I forgot. Happy anniversary to the best parents in the world!" Lisa said excitedly. If only they knew what was going on. Saying happy anniversary to me dug a hole into my heart. I felt nothing but pain. "Sarah, are you okay?" Martha asked after seeing the way I was glaring at Lorenzo. "Yeah, yeah I'm fine." "How long has it been?" Kelvin asked. We were all surprised. I wasn't sure what he wanted to do with that information. "Ohhhh, it's just that Lisa is 20, and you know most people don't get married until after they give birth, so I w

  • In love with the billionaire’s ex wife    Chapter 6.

    KELVIN. I just got back from school. Just like every other student I decided to come home for Christmas. But unlike every other student, I wasn’t happy at all. My parents house isn’t a home. Since I was 10 years old I have always wanted to run away, but anytime I try to, I think about my little sister. I wasn’t going to leave her alone with my so-called parents. As soon as we arrived home, my driver stopped the car and called my attention. “Sir, you are home.” I scoffed when I heard him say home. I look at my Dad’s Mansion. It’s huge, but it can not contain the sadness it brings. I take off my headphones, then I take a deep breath before stepping out of the car. My driver, Michael, helps me get my bags from the car trunk. As soon as I stepped into the house, “Kelvin!” My 11 year old sister, Cassy rushes and hugs me. “Hey,” I squeeze her tight. I have really missed her. “Welcome sir,” Cassy’s Nanny, Mary, says. She is one of the nicest people I have ever met, and I’m so glad I g

    Lisa won’t stop asking me about my parents. I get that she’s concerned about me, but the reason I’m away from home right now is because I want to get them out of my head, just for the holidays. Finally, we get to her grandparents house, and I just realize that I might have forgotten how Christmas works. The lights, the snowman, the Christmas welcome banner. Now I get what Cassy was saying, I didn’t feel the Christmas vibe at home, it was as if it wasn’t Christmas. For my parents, it was just another day to fight, work, and date younger people. Damn it, I still can’t believe my mom is dating a 25 year old. Whenever I think it will get better, it just gets worse. I try helping Lisa’s driver get the bags from the trunk, while Lisa manages to sashay to the front door. I don’t get how she is able to work perfectly in this snowy ground. Meanwhile, Lisa’s bags are so heavy. I thought she’s staying for a week, why did she pack so many bags, and why the hell are they so heavy. I hold one ed

  • In love with the billionaire’s ex wife    Chapter 8.

    “Happy anniversary,” Lisa’s Nana says to Sarah. Ohh Wowww. Sarah gives a slight smile which I find weird. They all start to wish them happy anniversary, but Lorenzo seems to be the only one to reply, Sarah just gives a weak smile with her head down, eating her food. I can tell she’s not happy about it, because the smile she’s putting on is totally different from the one she had when she saw Lisa. But why? Why would anyone not be happy about their anniversary? Except the couple are like my parents. But if they are, Lisa would have mentioned it to me, since I like venting about mine. Well maybe they had a minor issue. I mean, couples fight right? It’s normal. Well, I don’t know what’s normal about relationships because my parents' relationship is crazy. “How long has it been?” I ask. I really want to know if they were married before she gave birth to Lisa or if they had Lisa first and then they decided to get married. Things aren’t adding up. I’m surprised at myself, why in the world a

    SARAH. I had the best day ever. I didn’t think I would be able to be that happy. I still can't believe I actually ice skated. Whatttt? I was able to overcome my fear of ice skating, and I did it happily. All thanks to Kelvin. I’m glad he came here. The way I feel safe with him scares me, and at the same time, it feels so good. I throw myself on my bed, well mine and Lorenzo’s bed. I glare at him as he snores in his peaceful sleep. I feel like killing him with the pillow under my head. Was it worth it? Was Catherine worth it? She’s not even that pretty, so what exactly made Lorenzo choose her over me? And when I expect him to apologize, he throws a divorce on my face. Well, go to hell and burn, good thing I don’t need your cheating ass to be happy. Saying all that was just for consolation, self consolation. It changes nothing, absolutely nothing. My wounds are still fresh, but with time I believe it’s going to heal. But I don't think it would, because tell me why he had to come to my

  • In love with the billionaire’s ex wife    Chapter 18.

    KELVIN.Finally we get home, I mean, Sarah’s parents’ house. We can see everyone through the window. They are happily discussing and laughing. I used to think there’s nothing like a perfect family, but Lisa’s family happens to be perfect. Well, aside the fact that Lorenzo and Sarah are going to get a divorce. Does anyone else know about this? I don’t think so. This will break them, just like it has broken Sarah. I really hope they all find the best way to handle this, and help Sarah get through it. I knew there was something off. The frowning and avoidance. It was all there. She talks less when he’s around and tries to stay clear of his path. How can her family not see that she’s going through a lot? She is not even hiding it that well. What about Lisa? Damn, this is going to break her. She has always looked up to her parents and speaks highly of their love for each other. How is she going to feel when she finds out that her family is about to fall apart. I have always wished for my p

  • In love with the billionaire’s ex wife    Chapter 17.

    SARAH.I have no idea why I told him that. Somehow I felt like I have known him for a really long time. And I feel safe talking to him. It took him one day to make me happier than I have ever been in years. Well, I guess that's how they are from the start. They make you feel special, safe and important, but as time goes by, they treat you like trash, like you are invisible and doesn’t matter. I won’t let myself get deceived by another man. If Lorenzo could do that to me after all the love we both shared, then I can’t trust anyone else with my heart, not even a 21 year old college boy. I think he’s more shocked than I was when Lorenzo asked me for a divorce because he isn’t saying anything, and I think it’s better this why.“Kelvin!” Cassy runs to us. “That was fun,” she says, then she looks at me. “I haven’t seen someone who is as horrible as you at Ice skating,” she adds. That was fair. I knew it was a bad idea from the start, but screw that. I don’t need to be good at ice skating

  • In love with the billionaire’s ex wife    Chapter 16.

    She seems awfully quiet siping on her Milkshake. Yes, it’s dark but I can tell she’s not happy with something. She’s putting on the same face she has whenever Lorenzo is around, which makes me wonder what the problem might be. Few minutes ago she was so happy, laughing her lungs out. Probably it’s a mood swing, but I’m not going to let her be sad on my watch. “Are you okay? You’ve been quiet.”“I’m fine. It’s just… forget it.”“It’s just what?” She looks into my eyes for a few seconds.“What happened with that girl, I just don’t feel comfortable with it.”“What girl?” I ask, totally confused.“The lady that was calling my Mrs Lorenzo…”“Ohhh,” I utter. “What about it?”“Well, I just find it cringey to be addressed as Mrs Lorenzo,” she says, and gets me more confused. I raise my brows and tilt my head. “Don’t get me wrong. I love being Mrs Lorenzo, it’s just…you know, people seeing me like a celebrity or someone very important when they don’t actually know me. It’s like being Mrs L

    “And how am I sure I’m not going to wipe my butt countless times on that ice?”“You just have to trust me,” I reply and she tilts her head.“I’m the team leader of the NYU hockey game.”“Really?” I tilt my head.“Yeah.”She places her palm on mine, and now I feel something. It’s as if our souls collide, and we’ve become one, and I have become whole. The warmth of her hands makes me feel selfer than I have ever been. I’m not gonna lie, joining hands with her fixes something inside of me, something I never knew was broken.“I guess I’m in safe hands then.” She looks at our hands, then at my face, then she smiles.I hope Lorenzo is aware of what he has. She’s a rare pearl. If she was mine, I would never hurt her. If she was mine, I would never be sad. I know it might seem wrong to have these feelings for someone twice my age, but you have no idea how beautiful it feels, how whole I feel. Maybe spending the holidays with Lisa’s family was meant to happen. Maybe Sarah and I were meant to f

    KELVIN.It’s the third time today that she’s holding my hands and dragging me out of a place like I am a child, her child. We get into the car and she drives smiling.“Where are we going?” I ask her.“You’ll see,” she says, then looks at me and smiles, again.Hmmm. I’m glad she’s smiling. I know she’s going through something, you can see it in her eyes whenever she’s with her husband. But, she seems so down to earth, and free. What really happened between her and Lorenzo that makes her beautiful smile disappear whenever she sets eyes on him?“We are here.” She parks at the roadside, and turns off the car.I look around through the car window and see a building with the name VIK’S PET SHOP labeled at the top of the building.“You gat to kidding me,” I let out.“Whatttt??” she drawls. “Trust me, this is exactly what she needs,” she adds.“Ummm, I don’t know Sarah. Cassy has never mentioned wanting an animal.”“You mean pets.”“They are animals.”“Yeah, but they are also pets.”“I hones

    SARAH.Maybe I’m just imagining things. Or maybe it is simply because I’m scared that I might be developing feelings for him, or have developed feelings for him. But how is that even possible? I have only known him for two days, but yet it seems like I have known him for years. This has never happened to me before. I have always been in charge of my feelings, but right now I don’t even know what I’m doing. I can’t control my thoughts whenever he’s close to me. When he whispered in my ears, I felt his cool breath again, and I wished he would breathe into my mouth. Dang it. At that moment, I wanted him to do all sorts of things to me. I was so ready to open my legs for a 21 year old boy. Lord save, at this point, I think you are the only one who can save me. We stroll around the plaza filling our eyes with the gorgeous view of Kings and Queens palace. Then we get to the jewelry section, and I see the Cartier necklace with a little diamond pendant. I have always wanted it as a gift fro

    Passing through the hallway, we see a lot of children coming out with their parents, and I also noticed the gift boxes on their hands. When we get inside, there are children standing in line to see Santa who is sitting at a Royal size chair that is decorated with fake snow. There are so many children, the short, small, tall and also parents carrying their infants, all waiting to take pictures and get a gift from a mundane person. “I’m going to stand on the line…” Cassy says excitedly, running to the line.“Careful…” I hear Mary say.We stand at the back watching how some children cry when they stand close to Santa, and while some smile wholeheartedly while taking pictures with Santa and receiving their gift. Honestly, I have never really understood the fun in this until now. But maybe it’s because I didn’t have a happy childhood, and my parents weren’t so big on Christmas things. I mean, I have never gotten a Christmas present from anyone before. Back then in school when my friends we
