Mr. Farrell, We Are Divorced 047
Almyra's POV,I rose to my feet from where I sat with Aurora, my face beamed with a smile as I walked away slowly.I heard the door open from a distance, I paused and looked at the door to see who it was this time.As the door opened slowly, I saw a man who seemed to be in his mid thirties, I knew the face was familiar but it was kind of difficult for me to remember who it was.He took calculated steps towards me. Every step he took felt like his face was getting more and more familiar."Good morning Al." I heard his voice, cool and calm. Even his voice was familiar.I had a puzzled look on my face. "Cole?" "Yeah it's me." He stretched forth his hand for a handshake which I accepted."Someone invited you, who was that?" A smile curled my lips as I spoke."I came here all by myself, no one did." He had a hint of sarcasm in his voice."Wow, you must have eyes almost everywhere then." I chuckled lightly."You're right on track." He smiled and took his seat."I would go get you a drink."

Almyra's POVI looked back to see who it was and to my greatest surprise it was Cole.Cole stood in the middle of everyone and a smile was plastered on his face as everyone's gaze was set at him."I'd like to make a speech about these super humans that are celebrating their birthday today, can I go on?" Cole asked with a quiet confidence. The glass was still in his hand as he spoke.Everywhere was quiet for a while and everyone looked at each other and Malum finally broke the silence."That is up to Almyra." Malum said and almost everyone locked their eyes on me.I scoffed. "Yeah, of course. You're free to make your speech." Everyone's faces turned bright as I spoke and they turned their gaze to Cole.Cole started. "Happy birthday to three amazing individuals who triple the joy, laughter, and love into our lives, may your special day be as unique and special as each of you. Triple the blessings, triple the fun! Wishing a happy birthday to you incredible triplets. May your day be fill

Almyra's POV,I took some pace backward from Cole and set my gaze at him. Of course, I was short of words since I don't know what I was going to say or what I was even supposed to say.Cole on the other hand looked at me in concern. Warmth were in his eyes, but he just stood there."Thank you for today." I broke the silence with a smirk."Oh, that was nothing actually." His said, a sly grin was plastered on his face.I chuckled lightly, "well, it meant something to me though." Cole inserted his hand into his pocket before a sigh of maybe relief escaped his lips. "Something in what way?"I made an expressionless face as I spoke. "You know, your speech did. At least it made my brothers smile and who hates when his or her siblings smile?""Well, speaking for you and I," Cole had a strong look in my eyes as he paused. "It's a no."I crossed my arms across my chest defensively. "That's exactly what I'm saying," I leaned in. "And you made my brothers smile today with your speech."Cole's f

Almyra's POV, As I walked upstairs I heard my brothers and Malum talking indistinctly. I continued walking till I got to my room and entered, they never knew what I had in stock for them.As I settled down on the couch in the room I heard approaching footsteps and I knew it would not be long before their arrival so I got up from where I sat and rose up."Can we come in?" I heard Keith's voice over the door as he spoke firmly."Yeah, you can." I walked towards the window in the room and set my gaze outside.I heard my doorknob make creaking sound before it opened finally and it was my brothers along with Malum."You called us." Kaleb's said with his both hands at his back."Yeah, I did." I paused. "I love what you did back there." I spoke with a hint of sarcasm in my voice.He looked at me confused. "And what was that?" "Well, nevermind." I set my gaze at them with a smile plastered on my face.They made an expressionless face as they all looked at one another except for Malum who al

Almyra's POV,As the memory began to creep into my head slowly I buried my head in my palms and I inhaled sharply.The thought in which I've been trying to evade throughout the whole day has now come, flooding back like it never left.I did try not to think about it but I guess I just can't do without it, it was like a mission impossible and I felt inferior to this memory.Xavier's absence was surely taking a toll on me and it felt like a burden which was weighing me down in a very fast way. I knew I was missing something, someone, the love I had for Xavier never left and I just wished to see him. I knew deep down that he was the one I want to be with, it was him. But also, a part of me was also happy today. I did not let the burden of missing Xavier get the best of me on my brothers birthday.On the day I told Xavier there was no hope for the both of us it felt like I became alone in a dark street, and since then I knew I needed Xavier to bring me out of that street with a light in
Mr. Farrell, We Are Divorced 001
Almyra’s POV “We need to talk”. Xavier sighed before asking so calmly, “What is it now? If it’s money…” “I want a divorce, Xavier.” I could almost hear a pin drop, but in a flash, his cutlery hit the plate; just like I expected, he was about to continue eating like he didn’t hear me, so I repeated, “I want a divorce.” His eyes tried holding mine, but I looked away; I didn’t trust myself, especially with him. “Why?” “Lately, I have been faithful in sending your daily upkeep.” There he goes again; of all things to ask, it had to be money he pinpointed. Without waiting for his permission, I opened the envelope containing the divorce papers and signed it before pushing it over him. “I want nothing from you, not your money or properties, Xavier,” I reassured, promising myself that the tears threatening to fall didn’t. He glanced at the paper before scoffing, “You are serious?” “Yes, you can hasten this up and sign. Before you return from work, I will leave your house
Mr. Farrell, We Are Divorced 002
Almyra's POVMy eyes widened in horror as I felt a wave of nausea wash over me. I thought she was sick and had to be flown out?How could he do this to me? This was the last straw, and there was no way in hell I would change my mind. I held back my tears, but the realization that I was letting go caused tears to flow freely from my eyes. While I waited and prayed for our union, he lay with Kitara…I felt so much like a fool for staying and entertaining his wade of cash.My sniffs soon turned into sobs, and I don’t know how long I cried, but when I finally got a hold of my emotions, Ben was long gone, and thankfully, he had given me enough time to cry in solace.Xavier wasn’t back yet, so I walked my walk of shame into the house with the gifts Malum had given the rest of the waitresses to gift me; upon entering the room, I stacked them away before entering the shower.In there, another set of tears threatened, but I was done crying for a man who didn’t value me enough. It was funny how
Mr. Farrell, We Are Divorced 003
Xavier's POVI didn't love Almyra and couldn't care less if she was leaving, but there was no way I was going to sign a divorce if I didn't know what she was saying and who those people were."So that bitch got herself a man and was just feeding on Xavier all this while?" I heard my mom whisper out loud as I barged into the house. Thankfully, they weren’t there when I made a mockery of myself by chasing after her."What happened?" she asked, seeing my already dirty clothes, but I ignored her and entered the room, making sure to bang the door shut.Shit!I looked around the room, and all I could see was everything I had bought for her in the last two years. Now that I think about it, it makes me wonder where Mom and Kitara got the idea that she was after me for money, and that had been her agenda all along. The credit alert still haunted me.She had sold her body or something else because I couldn’t explain how someone who, according to her data, was an orphan entered expensive cars an
