Piece Of Shit

Junia's POV

 

I jolted awake and annoyingly, the memories from earlier rushed through my head, causing a wince to escape my lips. The memories didn't only make my heart ache but I quickly felt a sharp pain in my head that caused me to groan.

 

However, the same powerful scent of the perfume that has always driven me crazy wafted through my nostrils, and when I darted my eyes towards the place where the scent emanated from, my heart leaped into my throat.

 

I couldn't believe my eyes. I knew it! There was no way that he would leave me like this, there was no way that he would want to divorce me.

 

It must have been a nightmare, a nightmare that must never reoccur again.

 

Tears welled in my eyes and when he came closer to me, the only wish that I had at that very moment was to pull me in a hug and bawl out my eyes. Then when he stood next to my bed, he stared down at me and reached his hands for my face, his hands brushing through the tears that streaked down my face and the only thing I wanted was to tell him how much he meant to me.

 

Maybe things have changed now. Grandfather Weiss and mother-in-law Claire must have spoken some senses into his head and that was why he changed drastically.

 

"Where am I?" My voice was barely above a whisper while I made a tiny sniffle.

 

"You are at the hospital, you hit your head against the center table," He said and for a second, I thought that he was going to apologize to me but he never did.

 

I should stop asking for too much, his presence was enough for me.

 

My joy knew no bounds and I attempted to sit upright but before I could, the joy and excitement that I had felt inside of me suddenly vanished and the smile on my face was replaced with a frown that deepened so hard that it felt like all the insides of me were about to explode in anger.

 

The sound of stiletto heels against the marble floor echoed through the room and a strong floral scent filled the air. My hands balled into fists as soon as my eyes landed on her.

 

She paused closely behind Ethan and my heart shattered into pieces when she interlocked hands with Ethan.

 

At that moment, the inside me of me froze!

 

She was holding a bouquet and the annoying thing was that it consisted of chrysanthemums and lilies. Her guts pissed me off, her audacity was something that I would never be able to decipher.

 

How dare she and most importantly, how could Ethan do something like this to me? How could he bring her here?

 

Maddie suddenly removed her hand away from his, exchanging fleeting glances with Ethan that did nothing but infuriate my anger. Then she lowered her head before me.

 

"Junia, I heard that you were unwell. How do you feel now, does your head still hurts? I am sorry that something like that happened to you"  Then she turned to look at Ethan as if she was trying to chastise him as she slowly hit him in the chest.

 

"Ethan, I know that you have a bad temper but how could you push her like that? That was bad of you"

 

The scene before me infuriated me so much that the only thing I wanted to do was to explode in anger. Then she slowly dropped the bouquet on my lap. "Get well soon......"

 

I swear that I could hear her whisper something that sounded like. "Or never!"

 

I burst into a peal of hysterical laughter and I spiraled into more laughter when I caught sight of the paper that was placed next to me. The divorce papers.

 

I leaped up from the bed, clutching the bouquet tightly as if my life depended on it like it was the only thing that mattered to me in the world.

 

Ethan was taken aback by my reaction as his brow tugged in confusion. Then I gathered the strength to close the space between me and Ethan.

 

I mustered the courage to stare into his eyes. Those eyes that I would always get lost in.

 

"YOU PIECE OF SHIT"

 

"What?" He sounded alarmed.

 

I screamed at the top of my lungs. "You piece of shit!" At that moment, I raised the bouquet and swiped it right on his face, hitting him with the flowers till the pieces flew in the air and when Maddie wanted to stop me, I hit with her the remaining.

 

My chest rose and fell steadily as I glared at Ethan menacingly. "For the past three years that you and I have been married, I have given you my life! I sacrificed everything for you because I didn't want anything to jeopardize your career!"

 

"After everything that I had always done for you, you would always disrespect me and treat me like I am nothing and now, you dare to bring your mistress right before me? This is the limit, Ethan! This is the limit" I screamed.

 

He tried to warn me by wriggling his finger. "Control yourself Junia or you wouldn't like what I would do....."

 

I scoffed. "You can go to hell, Ethan."

 

I reached my hands for the pen in the pocket of his shirt, darting my eyes toward the divorce papers that were on the bed.

 

Leaning slightly towards the paper, tears welled in my eyes as I clutched the pen tightly. My heart kept hammering against my rib cage, almost causing the tears to spill from my eyes but the last thing that I would ever do was cry before them.

 

They didn't deserve to see me cry. Not Ethan, not anybody else!

 

I mustered the courage inside of me, gathering all of my strength while affixing my signature.

 

It was done! My nightmare came to pass. I was divorced!

 

I handed the divorce paper back to Ethan. "I never want to have anything to do with you again! Not in this life or the next life."
