It had been six months since Camilla had submitted the documents to the court for divorce. Marshall turned nine, and Meghan turned seven. Today was the day. It was December, just about time for the courts to close for the end of the year. Camilla walked into the courthouse, wrapped up nicely, and warm in her fur coat and thick woollen slacks with a polar neck jumper and boots. The winter was well setting in, and the snow would start to fall anytime now. Waiting for her name to be called, she spotted Steven. "Hi," she greeted him, friendly. After all, they still had to co-parent their two children. "Hi," he said back, smiling at her, "how are you and the kids doing?" "We are okay," she answered civilly, "and you?" "I'm doing okay, I got another job," he explained, "Camilla, can we stop the divorce. I don't want to do this," he p

Camilla fell in love with a man who was twenty-three, but after two years, they parted ways. At the age of twenty-five, she met her, to be, husband Steven Middleton. They started courting and what a whirlwind of a courtship it was. Six months after dating, Steven asked her, "Camilla?" "Hmmm," she replied while sitting in the living room by the fireplace, gazing at how the fire was blazing in front of her. It was so mesmerizing. "Camilla, will you marry me?" he asked. Camilla was elated and immediately jumped up and said, "Yes, yes, I will marry you." Camilla threw her arms around his lean, masculine, well-trained torso. He drew her in for a slow, long, lingering kiss. Camilla wasn't a very attractive young lady, but her qualities were something to behold. She was an ordinary country girl with a slightly bigger

Several months had passed, and things hadn't gotten easier for Camilla. Steven drank every day. He had even gone to work drunk and received various warnings for being drunk on duty. By now, Camilla was in the last month of her pregnancy. Money struggles were real for the couple due to Steven's drinking. Camilla hoped that once the baby came, he would stop drinking and step up to being a dad. At 4 one morning, Camilla awoke to the feeling of wanting to use the bathroom, but as she arose, everything on the bed was soaked through. She went to the bathroom, but she still couldn't stop. Eventually, she called for her husband, who was still hung over from the night before. "Steven, please get the car!" She yelled, knowing it was going to be difficult for him to wake up. "Steven, can you get up, I need to get to the hospital now!" she yelled again. In a groggy state, he said to her, "Just get some more sleep. It's okay, you'll be fine." Steven hadn't realized his wife's water had broken

Camilla described her car, registration number, and the driver of her car, explaining that he was her husband and that she'd been waiting all night for him to come home. "Is he ok?" Camilla asked. "Yes, mam, we pulled him over for not having his lights on while driving and a broken taillight. He's on his way home now," the officer informed her. "Thank you, officer." she responded and hung up the phone. Looking at the time, she sighed. "What's the use of going to sleep now?" she thought to herself.

It was coming into summer, the weather was becoming a little warmer, and flowers were blooming. Camilla loved roses and carnations, and in her garden, she had a beautiful array of both. Things between her and Steven had seemingly gotten a lot better. Steven had gone back to working for the accounting firm, but he was on very thin ice. He couldn't afford to falter not one time. One afternoon in March, Camilla was buying a few groceries as she always did, and walking past the fisheries, she suddenly felt ill from the smell of the oil. As she finished getting the groceries and walking back to the bus stop, she felt dizzy. She regained her composure and decided to go and buy a pregnancy test. On arriving at home, Camilla decided to do the test. She wasn't sure if she wanted another child or not as things had been rocky between her and Steven and had only just now, seemingly, started to settle down.

Early the next morning, Camilla sat up in bed reading through her social media posts when a call came through on Steven's phone. Looking at the number, Camilla didn't say anything at all to Steven. She woke him up and handed him the phone. "It's the same people that have been calling all night," she informed him icily."Huh!" he responded in a daze, still trying to wake up. Camilla explained to him about the phone calls from the night before, and these women not giving up on calling him, wanting him to fetch them at all unearthly hours of the night. Steven had no recollection of what had happened or how he had even gotten home.After explaining the phone call, Camilla confronted him for not fetching her from work the previous afternoon.

Steven didn't know what to say or how to comfort his wife. She was angry and bitter, so instead of saying anything, he did what he usually does. The solution to getting out of any situation, he picked up the keys to the car. "I'll be back later," he said in a low-key tone of voice, walked out the door, and drove off.Camilla had no energy to deal with her husband at that point. She went to her son, who was just waking up from his afternoon nap, put him in the bath, and then put on a change of clothing to get him ready for bed. While he was playing on the mat in the dining room, Camilla prepared something for the two of them to eat. After playing for just over an hour, Marshall started to yawn, so Camilla took him to the room, laid him down, and read him a story. It took all of about ten minutes before her young man fell fast asleep.Quietly leaving the room, Camilla went to sit on the settee. Looking at her phone, she saw a message from Steven, "I'm sorry Camilla." The message said.

"You awake!" he exclaimed.Looking at the time, Camilla responded, "Why didn't you wake me up?""You've been awake a long time, so I decided to let you sleep a little later. Come sit down, the food is ready.""How's Marshall?" she asked."He's okay, his fever didn't spike again through the night, and he has had his breakfast and a bottle, and he's gone back to sleep," he smiled at his wife."What! Is he sleeping again? What time did he wake up?" she was surprised."He woke up at 7a.m. We played in his room, I gave him porridge and his bottle, and he just went to sleep about ten minutes ago," he explained the routine to his wife. Camilla sat at the table and began eating the bacon and eggs her husband had prepared for her, along with a couple of slices of toast with strawberry jam. "This is a lovely spread, thank you,

"Steven, where is the money for the groceries?" she asked, shaking him awake.Getting anything out of him would be virtually impossible.

Do you need a lift to the school?""That would be nice," she responded, smiling.

"I never felt like this with Steven, so why with Bradford, and we're not even in a relationship?"As they walked to the car, Bradford's hand brushed against hers. This sent electric shocks through her body. "Oh, I'm sorry Camilla, I," he stopped in mid-sentence. He had wanted to touch her intimately all day.

Her children were spending time with her aunt and uncle, so she didn't need to worry about that. Every day, while at the hospital, Bradford would come and ensure that Camilla had something decent to eat so that she could keep her strength up. He would bring her her salads and chicken or meat, or he would bring her soup. "Thank you for caring so much," Camilla said in a soft, sweet tone. "It's no problem at all," he responded in a soft yet extremely masculine voice. "Why did the sound of this man's voice affect her so? Why did her heart flutter at seeing him? Why does he have such an effect on me?" she wondered silently. Camilla didn't dare to think about it at that point. She needed to focus on Steven and get him better so that she could move on with her life. Three days of sitting
