ARIANNAAs I drove back home, my vision clouded by the pool of tears that formed around my eyelid, the weight of my pain threatened to crush me. How could Anne do this to me? Did I not mean anything to her? Was our friendship a lie from the beginning?My heart pounded in my chest, echoing the painful emotions raging within me. I kept trying to convince myself that all I saw was nothing than a dream but this pain inside felt too real.It felt more like the physical pain of been stabbed in the heart, the only difference was that I am still physically alive but on the inside, I felt dead.As I approached the Lucas' mansion, anger and sadness enveloped me. I will no longer be toyed with especially not in this hellhole they call a home.This is definitely the end of this marriage and this time I am not going back.I opened the double doors of the mansion and sauntered in, my orbs shattered the minute I saw Mrs Vivian, the only person I ever confided in here.Mrs Vivian, Rose and Mr Hilton
LUCASMy hands clutched to the steering wheel as I maneuvered my way into the mansion. Fuck! That bitch just ruined my time with Anne, how the hell did she even know that I was in there? That woman just ruins every single thing for me. I am so glad that Anne has finally decided to stand up to that bitch and let her know that she has feelings for me I am sure that Arianna has gotten the message that I do not want to have anything to do with her, now she has seen it for herself that my heart belongs to Anne and Anne only.Once I get home, I will call my lawyer to bring in the divorce papers and honestly, I can not wait for it to be official!I had been making arrangements for our divorce right from the moment Arianna lost our baby.After all there was no use of being in the marriage again. We had nothing to show for it and I never loved her.Arianna will finally be out of my life and then I will spend the rest of my years with Anne. I never saw anything useful about Arianna, her bea
ARIANNAI slowly opened my eyes, greeted by a splitting headache that throbbed relentlessly inside my skull.The bright sunlight filtered through the curtains only intensified the pain. Confusion quickly took hold of me as I realized that I was not in my own room.What am I doing in this brute's room?Panic settled in as I glanced around, hoping that it was only a dream or a mirage but I was indeed in Lucas' room. How did I end up here?Questions swirled in my mind as I tried to piece together the events of the previous night. Slowly, the memories trickled back, and I felt a wave of shame wash over me. I came here, to Lucas' room after drowning my sorrows in alcohol.The soreness in my thighs hinted at what may have transpired between us and anxiety gnawed at me. Did we...? The thought alone was enough to send shivers down my spine.How could I have foolishly let him have me again after breaking me and why did I get drunk in his room? He used my sorrows to take advantage of me.I coul
ARIANNAThe scorching sun seared my skin as I trudged wearily towards the entrance of my parents' house, carrying my luggage that rolled alongside me.Nothing felt right. It seemed that nothing could ever go right. Everything was just so incredibly wrong! Anne, whom I once considered a friend, has betrayed me in the most terrible manner, and I can not help but feel utterly foolish and naive for ever trusting her.Why did Lucas and Anne choose to inflict this pain upon me? Tears streamed down my face as I recollected the tumultuous and overwhelming events that I had recently witnessed.In what way have I ever offended Lucas that he would seek to hurt me like this? He could have at least chosen to have an affair with someone else, sparing me from this shattered state I find myself in. But he chose to do it with someone whom I held dearly to my heart! He chose to wreck our marraige with Anne and she welcomed him with open hands.Did she not think about my feelings? Does she hate me that
ANNE I wiggled and chuckled inwardly while cozily settling into the embrace of my sofa.Oh my goodness! Things could not be more better! To be honest, I have never experienced such overwhelming happiness before.My gaze remained fixated on the message that unexpectedly appeared on my phone screen. It was from Lucas, sharing the news of Arianna's definitive departure from their mansion.She was finally out of the mansion and out of their lives!She departed so effortlessly, without putting up a fight or attempting to stay. It seems she had reached her breaking point in that marriage, and I dare say I did both of them a tremendous favor by facilitating their separation. Come to think of it, Arianna should be thanking me immensely for this. I mean she never loved Lucas and Lucas never loved her.One did not even need a mindreader, psychic or soothsayer to be aware of their loveless marraige. It was clearly evident in the way their lives unfolded.Now, the singular concern that occupie
ANNE I stepped down from Lucas' car gracefully, his hand outstretched to mine beckoning me to take hold of it.I did so with a smile, passing him lustful glances. Today was the day I was finally going to meet with his parents formally in respect to our marriage. I can not believe this is really happening to me. I assessed my appearance, my eyes searching for any loophole in my dressing."You look gorgeous sweetheart. My wife is beautiful" Lucas fondly told me with come-hither stares. His hands ran through the curve of my spine as he spoke before settling on my waist."I feel really nervous honestly. First time jitters" I chuckled awkwardly."The Anne I know is never nervous. She is always ever ready to awe the world with her elegance and wits" Lucas winked at me.He was right. I was hardly ever nervous I have met with the Hiltons before, this was not the first. I can definitely do this! Elegantly, with my head raised high, I and Lucas walked towards the huge twinned doors of his op
ARIANNATrees danced as the heavy breeze swept across the gloomy atmosphere, the sun was setting and the air was cold. I sat there, taking a moment to relax and meditate on my life, trying to find some peace in the chaos that had become my life. The weight of recent events pressed heavily on my heart and it was difficult to find happiness.My life was far from roses and honey, I had such a bitter life and it's all thanks to my now ex husband and his family.It had been three weeks since I left Lucas and his wicked family, it has been three weeks without Rose's impertinence and arrogance, Lucas' hatred and neglect and Mr Hilton's bitterness towards me.Memories of the short periods we were happy, that was during my pregnancy, flooded my memory and a lone tear forced it's way down my cheeks.Reminiscing the events felt painful, how did my life end up this way? Today, however, was particularly challenging. I had just received and signed the divorce papers sent by Lucas, my ex-husband
ARIANNA The sun rays seeped through the linen twined curtains of my room. Quickly, I flew my eyes open at the sudden intrusion. My head banged and it felt like the weight of a dumb bell. Yawning and stretching lazily, something distinct caught my attention. I reached over for it as it laid on the bed and in an instant, the outrageous discovery I had stumbled upon yesterday flooded my mind.It was my pregnancy strip. The positive sign was still bodily depicted on it. I stared at in a daze, wandering if it could just reverse and show the negative sign.But I just knew it could not. No matter how much I tried to escape my past in Lucas' life, it always found a way to poke me right back in the face.How can I possibly be pregnant? How can I raise this child alone after being separated from its father?And most importantly, should I inform lucas of this?He might not believe me at first but if he laters does he will definitely take me back that is for sure. But only because of the baby.
