2025-02-10 18:30:33I 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 drive myself."
"But ma'am, Sir Lorenzo wouldn't like that."
"Carlos! The keys! Now." I stretched out my hands.
Carlos was startled. He knew it was not in my nature to scream at anyone, but he was doing too much, and I wasn't in my chill phase.
He handed me the key, I grabbed it from him and I trotted to the car. I got in and drove towards Lorenzo's hotel where I left him. On my way, I tried calling him several times but he wasn't picking up. This was strange. Lorenzo always picked up my calls. Was I a bad person? Did I offend Santa? Could this be Santa's punishment? It was supposed to be the season of joy, but it was becoming the season of heartbreak for me. When I got to his hotel, "Welcome back ma'am. And merry Xmas," the receptionist said to me.
"Merry Xmas..." I piped up. "Where's my husband?"
"Ohhh. Mr Lorenzo is in his suite."
"Thanks."
As I was about to leave, "Hold on ma'am, he's with a guest," she said.
"A guest? What guest?" Lorenzo wasn't supposed to be working today. He told me he was taking a day off. A day off to divorce me.
"Uhmm...one Miss Catherine."
"Catherine? Who the hell is Cathrine?" I seethe.
"Ohh, there they are," she said, looking down the hallway.
The moment I turned, I saw My husband and my best friend in each other's arms.
They walked up to me, and my eyes were fixed on Catherine. What was going on here? It was as if my brain was resetting. I couldn't think straight.
"Sarah? What are you doing here?" I heard Lorenzo's voice, but I was too weak to give a reply. I stood there in bewilderment, staring at my supposed best friend. Catherine couldn't look into my eyes. I wondered if she felt the shame I was feeling.
"Sarah, did you sign it?" He asked, but I kept shut. My brain was still in shock to give any response. "Sarah! I'm talking to you." He grabbed my arm, but I pushed him away.
"You son of a Bitch! You heartless moron! My best friend!" I yelled as loud as I could. "My! Best! Friend!" With every yell came with a punch on his chest, drifting him backwards.
"Sarah! Enough." He held my hands.
"Why?" There came the tears. "Why? Lorenzo, why? After everything we've survived together. After 21 years of marriage. Why?! Why my best friend?!"
Lorenzo scanned the hallway and saw people staring at us. He probably felt the shame I felt a few minutes ago.
"And Catherine. You are supposed to be my friend." The tears filled my face, and I tasted the fluid dripping from my nose. Lorenzo asking me for a divorce was not as painful as finding out that he was dating my best friend.
"Sarah, calm down. Stop embarrassing yourself."
"Ohhh you mean I should stop embarrassing you. I cursed the day I met you." I said, close to his face. "I cursed the day I met the both of you!" I yelled and ran out of the hotel.
I got into my car. I placed my head on the steering wheel and I cried like never before. What was the point of saving a marriage that had been destroyed a long time ago. I thought he was going to change for the better, but he changed for the worse. I was never going to forgive him for this pain he caused me. How did he go from loving me so much to hurting me so much. I hated him, I hated him for this. I drove back home and I locked myself inside my room. I heard Agatha banging on the door but I ignored her. What was I supposed to do? What wrong did I do to have such a fate? My 21 year old marriage had collapsed, so was Christmas. He was happy, and I was sad. He was always the happy one because he had his ways of doing anything he likes. And I was always the sad one he had been hitting. I endured everything he had been doing to me. But not this time. I wasn't going to give him the privilege of ruining my life or Christmas. I needed to clear my head, I needed somewhere filled with happiness and merriment, and my mother's house had always been a place for that. My mother took Christmas seriously, it was her favorite time of the year. It has been five years since I last visited her. Lorenzo always had plans for Christmas and wouldn't let me go see her. But the days of him ruining my life were over. I started to pack a few things I needed for the holiday.
"Mom!" I heard Lisa banging on my door. I quickly opened up. "Mom!" She hugged me tightly, and I felt missed.
"Oh my baby girl." I squeezed her.
She laughed as she released herself from my tight hugs. "I'm twenty, remember? Big girl, grown up right here." She pointed to herself, and I laughed, which was strange because after what happened, I didn't know I would be able to, not so soon.
"Mom, are you okay?" She scanned my face.
"Honey, I'm fine. Come gist me," I dragged her into my room, and we sat on my bed. "How is college?"
She smiled. "Amazing. Guess what? I met someone, and he's...Are you going somewhere?" She saw my packed bags.
"Yeah."
"Where?" She furrowed her brows. "Wait! Are we going on a cruise on dad's yacht?"
"What? No Lisa, I'm going to your Nana's house?"
"What?! Why?! Did grandpa die?"
"Lisa!"
"What?! It's been ages since you went there."
"Five years."
"That's a very long time."
"Come with me, it will be fun."
"Fun? Nana makes me do dishes, that's no fun."
I laughed. "Seriously, she'll be happy to see you."
"I can't, I promise a friend that we'll be going on a cruise on dad's yacht. By the way, where's dad?" She stood up.
"Lisa, come on, let's spend the holidays together. You could bring your friend along."
"Holidays? When are you coming back?"
"I don't know." I wasn't ready to tell Lisa what had happened. Lorenzo had done enough, Lisa deserved a merry Christmas. It was getting late, so I stood up and gave her a kiss on the forehead.
"Merry Christmas honey. Have a wonderful Christmas, and don't forget to call me." I gave her another kiss on the forehead and then hugged her.

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 is a caring husband, and he loves 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

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

“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

“Are you sure you are okay?” “I’m fine,” I say into the glass cup, which is just weird, I’m acting weird. “I’m pretty sure the glass is empty.” Damn it! What the hell? Why wouldn’t he just leave me alone? He’s the reason I’m acting all weird. “You think I don’t know that?!” I stamp the cup on the table, glaring at him. “I’m sorry, I was just…” “What? Poke nosing, again?” He looks at me with furrowed brows. He seems confused. “I should…I should go.” He points to the door, then walks towards it. As soon as he’s out of sight, I take a deep breath. That was tense, well, it was tense for me because he had no idea what was going through my head. “Mom!” I hear Lisa scream my name. My heart jingles with fright and I run to the living room where I find my family together, wearing a smiley face. I tilt my head to the side, kinda confused about their smiles. “Mom you won’t believe it…” Lisa says excitedly as she approaches me. “Pretty sure I am…” I mutter to myself. Few minutes ago

“What was that?” Kelvin turns to me. “I’m so sorry, it just came out of my mouth.”“Seriously? I don’t know how I feel about you using me as an excuse not to be around your husband,” he blurts, and that just makes me want to crush him. Does he always say whatever he thinks? He is meddling in my marriage and I don't like that. I tighten my face and clench my teeth, staring at him with knitted brows. “Come on, I could clearly see you were avoiding him.”“So?!” I ask with open arms and wide eyes. This does not concern him. “Stay out of my marriage!”“Okay, okay, calm down. It’s Christmas, and we don’t want to upset Santa, do we?” He says. I place my hands on my waist, glaring at him and breathing heavily like an angry bear. About upsetting Santa, I think I already have, otherwise why would he give me a divorce paper as my wedding anniversary gift and also a Christmas gift.“Fine,” I mumble, and roll my eyes.“Okay then. See you,” he says, walking to the door. “Hey Sarah…” he turns to

Everyone bulges their eyes at me. The worries in their eyes are bigger than the situation.“Yeah, please hurry up.” She hangs up. I squint my eyes, trying to make sense out of what she said. “Is everything okay?” Lisa’s grandmother asks.“Who fell off a bike?” Lisa asks.“Cassy…?” My answer is more of a question to me.“What!” Sarah lets out.“She doesn’t even own a bike,” I say to myself.“Is she okay? Sarah asks.“I don’t know. Mary said she might have broken her leg.”Sarah throws her hands over her mouth.“She wouldn’t go to the hospital except I come see her”“Well, what are you waiting for? Let’s go, I’ll take you,” Sarah says as she stands up, getting me all confused.“Give me a sec let me grab my car key.” She rushes upstairs. She is clearly more worried than I am. It’s just a bike, it's not as if she was hit by a car or anything.“Is she…” I thumb over my shoulder.“Yes and more,” Lisa cuts me short. I was going to ask her if her mother is always like this towards little thi

KELVIN.As I and lisa plays ball throwing game with Madison in the living room, Madison gives the ball a big thrust which we didn’t know she was capable of doing. The ball landed on the kitchen hallway.“I’ll get it,” I tell them. Getting close to the kitchen, I start hearing heated mutters. I pick the ball and choose to ignore it. “Stop.” I hear Sarah sob and I become anxious. I plod towards the kitchen with curiosity. Standing at the entrance, I watch how slutty Lorenzo is acting towards his wife, which wouldn’t be such a bad thing if Sarah doesn’t look uncomfortable. He’s quite aware of how uneasy he’s making her feel but still he won’t stop.“Is everything okay?” I finally say as this has become unbearable to watch.Lorenzo smirks at me. “Just having a chat with my wife.” Hearing him call her his wife just sets my body ablaze and I feel like pushing him in the mouth.“Sarah, are you okay?” I ask.“Why wouldn’t she be?” He pecks on her cheek and Sarah frowns, pushing her face away

So we all got a present except mom and dad. I feel bad already, I should have gotten something for them. While preparing breakfast for everyone, Lorenzo walks into the kitchen and leans against the kitchen cabinet and stares at me like he’s seeing me for the first time, which seems weird. And what was that crab he was saying about a car waiting for me at home? We both know I’m not going back to that house. As a matter of fact, he practically threw me out of the house. I ignore him as I stir the scramble eggs which are sizzling on the frying pan.“You look beautiful when you cook,” he says and I feel like my head has been turned upside down,I raise my head, looking at him with a crinkled nose. I don’t remember when I last cooked. I doubt that I have ever cooked since he married me. Does that mean all this while I wasn’t pretty? He smiles at me, that same sweet smile he had when we were courting. He fooled me once with it, I won’t let him fool me again. I roll my eyes and turn off th

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

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

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

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
