This was my life now. I knew I shouldn’t have let Tori leave like that. She went to run her mouth to Tori.

I took the divorce papers with me. Thinking about it now, I didn’t want to get divorced now.

I drove to the house and circled the neighborhood for a few minutes. So many thoughts were running through my head. What would happen to the company now?

You should be thanking me. That woman is now out of your life. We can finally be together.”“Be together? Us? In your dreams. Get out.”“What?”“I said leave.

I don’t give a fuck.” I closed the door in her face.I went upstairs and hopped in the shower. I took a long hot bath. I came out feeling refreshed and got ready for bed. I tried my best to get a good sleep. I hadn’t had one in a long time. The next morning, I woke up early, got ready, and headed to the office. When I walked in, all the staff were giving me weird looks. Some were shaking their heads acting disappointed and walking away.I went into the elevator and went to my office. My a

He certainly won’t care about the baby.”“You’re an adult. I’ll leave you to make decisions by yourself.”“Thank you.”“Have you made up your mind on where you’re going to?”“I think I’ll move to California. I have some friends there. It’ll be easier to start my life up there.”“That’s good.”I stayed at the house for a few hours then I left. I sent someone over to the house to go get my things.Before I went to the hotel, I went to see Martha.“How are you doing?”“Ms Edwards, I’m doing good as always. What brings you here?”“I have a job offer for you.” I said. When I dismissed the staff, I found new jobs for them but Martha had told me she wanted to retire.

The last day we appeared in court was the day the divorce was finalized.We both walked out of the courtroom. “Camilla, can we see tomorrow?”“Why?”“My mum and sister want to see you.”“Oh, okay. Sure.”“I’ll text you the time.”“Ok. Goodbye.” She said and walked out of the building with her lawyer.We also had to release official statements to announce our divorce.
