1 - A Sudden Divorce

CRYSTAL'S POV

"I want a divorce right now!" He smashed the papers on table while I stared at him in confusion.

The same man I have been looking for arrived and all he brought back was a divorce papers? I was worried about him since he left to buy groceries a few days ago and I didn't find him. I even filed a missing person's report.

The least he could do was tell me where he was for the past few days. He even changed clothes and is now wearing designer suits now. Is this some sort of prank on me?

"Darling, what is this about? Why are you suddenly asking for a divorce? Is this a prank? Please stop it hurts." I tried to reason with him.

I tried touching him,he jerked my hands off. "Listen, you better do as I say and sign these divorce papers if you want to live."

It was when he threatened with my life that I started to take him serious. His eyes were bloodshot and his whole personality changed. I was so confused. Where exactly did he go for him to become like this. I wanted to know what really happened to him.

"What is the problem? At least tell me what I did wrong if you are going to divorce me! You were missing for days and I was so worried! This is how you treat me back?" I was at the verge of crying at this point.

He sneered, glaring at me. "I want nothing to do with a woman like you anymore. I was so stupid to marry you. Now, I want a divorce!"

"Alexander! You never said that a few days ago. You said you loved me. How is it so easy for you to push me away?"

Nothing I said sat well with him. His mind was made up and he wanted the divorce. I would have clung on to him if he didn't say things like that to me. There's no reason for me to hold on to him if he doesn't want me.

I signed the divorce papers and he took them with him. I thought he might come back when he came to his senses. I secretly waited for him and cried when I didn't see him. He was really gone. He left me for good.

I tried calling his number. It finally went through and I was happy he picked up. But the words he told me next broke my heart.

"Are you dumb or are you just clingy? You really don't want to give up, do you? Do you want me to make your life miserable?" He snapped at me.

I cried, "Alex, how can you do this to me? You can't just leave me like that!"

He scoffed, "You are nothing but a shameless whore. I see you are still shameless after everything. I'll change my number because of you."

Those words cut deeper than a knife. He always told me how much he loves me and would do anything for me. Was everything a lie? He changed overnight for no good reason. He left me without looking back.

For a whole month, I could not sleep well or forget him. I tried all means to contact him and it was to no avail. I decided to let go of him and try living my life. That was until I discovered I was pregnant.

My entire life was falling before my eyes. How am I supposed to raise a child whose father doesn't want me? How can I raise him on my own?

I have no money or connections. I needed to tell Alex about our child. Maybe he will change his mind when he finds out about the child. I eventually found out one day from the news that he was the heir to the Hunter empire.

That's crazy because the Hunter family is the biggest family in the country at large. They have most of the companies around the world and are very powerful. I never knew Alex came from that family.

I went to the company headquarters, trying to find a way to contact him but I wasn't let in. I even sent a message to Alex, hoping he'd come see me. It was all to no avail. Alex wants nothing to do with me anymore.

I cried more because I was carrying his child and he refused to even look at me. While thinking of another way to get his attention, I saw the news that he was engaged to another woman from a rich family. This broke my heart to pieces.

He really doesn't want anything to do with me again. I couldn't take it anymore. Staying in this city will only bring about memories that I want to forget.

I made up my mind to take care of my baby myself. It's my fault for trusting him after all. I did nothing but love him. I did everything to make him happy even when he had no one. And all he had to do was abandon me the moment things changed for him.

I went back to my hometown, the place where I had met him in the first place. I didn't know him before and I moved to this city because of him.

A month later, I moved back to my hometown. I started my cafe again and tried to live with that. I had stopped because I fell in love with Alexander Hunter. It was my mistake, something I'll never do again.

It was hard and suffocating for me to live through the pregnancy. A lot of people mocked me and wondered where I got the pregnancy from. That wasn't the hardest part. The fact that I couldn't get over Alex was the worst.

Some months later, I finally gave birth to a baby boy. It wasn't all rosy for me. He was born with a heart problem and had to be incubated for a while. I felt so sorry for my son. Why would he be born with a heart problem of al things?

He looked so much like Alex that it annoyed me. I constantly saw news of how Alex is the biggest thing and how good his life was. I don't think we'll ever meet again. I don't even want to meet him again.

He rejected me. For no reason at all. I can't let him find out about my child, he's only going to have a reason to hurt me more. While taking care of my son, I was suddenly reminded of how I met Alex in the first place.
