Our Marriage, Divorce and Love I. The Bride's Wedding day
On their wedding day, a handsome groom and his beautiful bride said, "I Do." Their hearts were fluttering with pure joy! They had married the love of their life! Is this what I experience? No, this is not that story. Here is the other version, Tameka Morton's version. You see, love didn't become apparent until after my divorce. I can't wait to tell you from beginning to end how it all transpired. The day I said "I do," I thought I would be floating on cloud nine, right? But, instead, my heart fluttered, not with pure joy but with fear! Because my rose color glasses had been removed and I saw the man, I had made my vows to love and deeply respect in a different light. He was my one true love. But I found out he didn't feel the same about me on our wedding day. Okay, to be perfectly honest with you and me. I knew he wasn't head over heels in love with me. But ladies, you know what I thought. I thought he would eventually fall in love with me because I'm sweet and love this man s

"Copeland?" In my haste to open the door, I forgot to close my robe completely. I undid the locks and chain and opened the door. "What are you doing here? I barely managed to squeak out the words. "Where is your key?" I asked him curiously. "Oh, I had been sleeping at the office the past few weeks, working nonstop, so I left my keys at work." "That explains why the house seems it had been closed up and used." I stood in the doorway, still in shock, my heart pounding, trying to keep my composure. Copeland was standing there, towering over me. "Can I come inside? It's my house too." Sure. Come on in." I noticed he was staring at me. "Why are you wet?" He asked, trying to divert his eyes away from my exposed chest area but struggling. That made me look down, and I saw my cleavage. I quickly closed my robe. "Oh, I had just gotten out of the tub." Copeland dumped his bag in the corner and sat on the couch. "Since we are both here at the same time. I'll get the spare room ready

"Copeland, did you hear her? I know I heard her loud and clear. She's still a married woman, humph! I thought you told me she wanted this divorce! It doesn't seem that way. I felt so humiliated sitting there listening to her brag about her marriage to you and how she takes her vows seriously." "Lizzy, I told you she was going to divorce me. If you had been willing to wait, you would have heard for yourself." "I don't believe you! All she was going to do his flaunt her marriage to you in front of my face. I know how women can be Copeland! I don't want to talk anymore. Bye!" Lizzy got out and slammed the car door! "Man! Women!" Copeland frustratedly answered his ringing phone. "Hello!" He answered firmly. "Hey man, whatever women problems you have, don't take it out on me." "Oh hey, Joel, What's up?" "I should be asking you that. But, instead, do you want to talk about it over a drink while I prepare to open the nightclub?" "I'll see you at King's shortly." Copeland pull

"That was a nice visit. It was so nice to see your mother and grandmother.”"No comment. I can't believe my family is all in my business. I thought I made myself clear about this when we got married!" Copeland says."Momma Olivia and Gigi are something else. Well, I certainly enjoyed seeing them tonight." I said, giving him a warm, slightly sarcastic smile.Copeland stood there with his hands in his pockets, looking at me. His calm, detached manner piqued my interest. He didn't exchange a word with me, yet I could tell he wanted to engage me in conversation or something else. I know you want to get that alcohol smell off your body. Did Lizzy splash her drink all over you? I'll go run you a nice hot bath."I could feel his eyes lingering over my face and traveling down my neck. He seemed to be drinking me in. I felt myself blush, but underneath my slight confusion, I felt a burgeoning sense of confidence; feelings I thought were long dead were coming back to life. I sensed I held a sp

I came home from shopping for the party all alone. If you paid Copeland Morton Junior to do so, the man couldn't keep a promise to me. I had only an hour to get dressed and head out the door. When I finally looked in the mirror one last time. I was proud of how everything came together. I must admit. I look pretty good. I knew I didn't have the traditional look of many cute girls. I have one of those faces that look mature but very pretty. My figure looked terrific in this gown. The sales lady helped me pick the perfect evening gown to accent my body type. Since I had curves, the dress fell in just the right places on my slender frame. I like that I wasn't too tall but not too short either. Nothing was out of place on me tonight. From my hair, makeup, nails, and the beautiful gown I had chosen to wear tonight, it all was perfect! I left the bedroom, picked up my clutch, and walked to the living room. By the time I reached the sofa, I had started feeling overwhelmed. I guess Copeland

"Why are you following me?" I glanced around and began walking to the left of the hotel, where I saw a taxi. Copeland had the nerve to follow me and tried to help me down the steps, but I said, "Don't. Please." Copeland put up his hands. "Alright! Alright, I never knew you were so stubborn! Just calm down.""Calm down, calm down. Oooh! Tell Lizzy to calm down!" I replied angrily.I got inside the taxi and closed the door. "Where to miss?"I had the taxi take me to the wedding house. I was steaming angry; II slumped against the rear seat in the cab and closed my eyes, feeling emotionally exhausted. "The nerve of him to accuse me of cheating!"I had no idea this night would turn out like this. Now I'm sure I should have left the past in the past and stayed in Paris. But instead, I felt entirely out of sorts. All I wanted to do was call my mom, then take a hot shower and get in a firm bed with a soft, fluffy pillow. And first thing tomorrow, I'm going to sign those divorce papers and ret

I couldn't stop thinking about my pain. "Where is he keeping those divorce papers? If a divorce is what he wants, I will give it to him!" The more and more I thought and imagined Copeland and Lizzy laughing about how he humiliated me tonight in front of everyone by causing a scene and then spilling champagne all over my beautiful gown. It infuriated me to no end! "Where are those stupid papers?!" I shouted.I want to get this over with now! I broke down crying. All I wanted was to devote tonight to openly weeping-deep, heart-wrenching sobs that begin to unleash on their own. "Tomorrow, I'm heading home to my job and life in Paris. I don't have to stay here and be humiliated this way!"Unexpected Visit _ Copeland (POV)I pulled into the driveway, parking the car at the side door entrance leading directly to the kitchen. I came into the house, which was dark, calling out. "Tameka! Are you here?" There was no answer to my call. "I guess Tameka went to Lynette's house. I can't believe

Copeland thoughts: I sadly lay over here on this lounge sofa, uncomfortable, thinking and looking at my wife; she is a perfect stranger to me. On our wedding day, I had her wrapped around my finger. The sun was shining on her, but I was too blind to see how she smiled at me. I was also too blind to see love was calling us. But I had my mind made up. I was never going to love my wife. I never thought I could love anyone else but Lizzy, but now my feelings for Tameka have surfaced. Is this a moment of weakness? I think about the day she left me for Paris without speaking and how it affected me. I must have felt something and was too prideful to admit it. But now that she's been back in my life this week. She has made me laugh, something I haven't done in a while. Tameka had my back when Gigi and mom were here. I felt loved. Something must be there between us, and why wouldn't there be? She's my sweet, adorable, sexy, and elegant wife. I never thought I would love or want her, but now

Our Marriage, Divorce and Love 56. A Love Like Ours
Waking up the following day in a bungalow with white curtains as the wall was like sleeping outside. After five years of marriage, it felt like this was his first time. Copeland experienced a feeling of pure contentment and relief. The contentment came from having his wife sleeping naked in his arms. The relief was because he could finally admit he'd been waiting for something to go wrong. He'd worried all these years about how his family, friends, fans, and Country truly felt about his actions. He'd worried Tameka would wise up and realize she could do better. But, instead, Copeland was concerned about, well, everything. But none of the things he'd worried about had come to fruition, and now he is still married to the only woman he'd ever loved, with Copeland jr. and twins. So, speaking of children, they needed to get up, head back to the vacation house, and relieve the family, who'd been good enough to take care of the kids so they could have their wedding night to themselves.

Tameka smiled, leaning over. "You two come here. You're stepping all over mommy's wedding gown." She said, smiling down at her two sweet twin-baby boys. She picks them both up, "now, how is mommy supposed to get ready for daddy if you two are going to be all in my way?" She kissed both of them on their plump, soft cheeks just as her mother walked into the room. "Oh, Tameka, sweetie! You look so lovely on your wedding day. I'm so glad to be here to see you get remarried." "Mom, we're doing this again, so all the family can be here. Even though we're already married, we wanted you all to experience it too." "Thank you, sweetheart. Others need to see this. People don't know what's beautiful! And you and Copeland are beautiful together! I mean it, baby! I was wrong before, and so were his parents. And don't let no one tell you otherwise, sugar." Tameka's mother referred to Copeland's parents and anyone who might be against them. " Oh, Mom." Tameka laughs as her joy turns into tears

"Babe, my mom and sister Cameron (Cam) and Jada called to let me know they arrived at the airport. Watch the kids until I get back! Okay." Copeland ran to the front door with his arms full of their babies. "Okay, sweetheart, I got these little rascals under control" He kisses Tame

"Going back to our huge house, let's fill it with babies," Copeland said, smiling. Her silence ate at him, so he moved quickly on top of her with his long frame straddling almost the whole length of her body, staring down into her face. He surprised her. "Copeland!" She said, snickering. "I'm trying hard to believe you. Are you serious?" "Yes, I want us to have a baby, so I spend these years while I'm young so they can remember their daddy playing with them before I get too old." He laid down beside her. Then, I'll have time to learn how to be a father and won't be so concentrated on working." "Does it make any sense what I'm saying, baby?" Looking at her intently with a sincere heart. "Do you agree?" Tameka had tears come to her eyes. She loved Copeland so much. His heart always made her feel warm and loved. "I understand what you're saying," she caressed his face. "But it isn't easy to just change your point of view in an hour."
Our Marriage, Divorce and Love 52. The Apartment Is Not Home
Months later:Life for Tameka after the press conference still wasn't easy. Even though the reporters no longer camped out in front of their apartment complex. Tameka still had to be careful. Every time she went to work or the store, fans rushed in her direction to take pictures. Some shouted. "Hey! Girl! From the other side of the tracks! Copeland belongs to us! Go back to where you belong!"One time coming from work, Tameka had to run to her car as a large group of girl fans chased her down the street. She was shaken when she got home, and Copeland saw it. "Sweetie, are you okay?!" "No, please, can I be alone?" Copeland caressed her on the back and then left her alone. Later that night in bed. Tameka says, "Huna, are you sleeping?" "Not yet. Why?" Copeland turned to face her as Tameka lay in his arms and told him what happened earlier today."I'm so sorry, baby. I can't be with you everywhere you go." He sighed worriedly. "Please be careful, Tameka. I don't know what to do if som

The administrative staff went scramming to check the stocks. "Sir! The stocks are falling faster than a plane without an engine! It's happening rapidly, sir! What should we do!" Senior looked like someone slapped him into shock. There was nothing he could do but stand there and listen. "NO!!!" Senior Morton shouted. Panic swept through the Morton administrative building since the year 2008. Copeland was responsible for all the new launches and successes of the company! Copeland's mother and grandmother sat down in her living as they usually did and turned on the television. They had been giving brief reports about her son and his marriage to Tameka for months. She had only spoken to her son briefly when Copeland called her. But since he told her he had remarried, she gave him time with his wife. She wants grandbabies. Once everyone was seated, the camera was clicking fiercely. "Good morning, everyone! " You could hear the fan's screams outside the building inside the room! "Oh my

By the third week, the apartment complex's management had to ask the police to secure the building. Chanting fans, namely young girls, came and stayed from morning until midnight. "Baby, this is getting crazy! I love you, I do, but this is getting crazy." "I know. I'm good at ignoring. I’m more interested in what you've been working on at this computer?" Copeland said, rolling Tameka back from the desk in the desk chair."The family lawyer has been combing over everything, and so have I. But, he says, there are some things you can do." "I'll read it. Let me see." Tameka gets up and gives the chair to Copeland as she stands over his shoulder as they discuss his options. Around 1:30 am, Zeta and Tran came over with Chinese food to talk. Tran says to Copeland. "I have been talking with some of the investors. They are excellent friends with your dad. They will speak on your behalf. They recognize that you are an asset to the company.""One thing a big company like Morton doesn't want i

"Tameka, I see your wheels turning. What are you thinking?""Copeland, you've talked about your grandfather many times. Is there some way we could get in touch with him? I know he would be on our side if he heard what they were doing to us. All because I come from a different background and culture! It is completely unfair and unwarranted." "Baby, I'm still able to go to work. So dad was probably bluffing."Tameka, after cooling down with her beer in her hand. She came and sat on the sofa. She smiled but kept thinking the worst wasn't over yet. She didn't trust Senior, especially since they threatened Copeland when it wasn't warranted.The day no one hoped would ever arrive finally came. One morning a few weeks later, Copeland went to work like he always does. Finally, he got to the building.

"Exact Ingredient"After long days and late nights of working, he was ready to go home to be with Tameka. Especially since it was Friday, Since everyone knew Copeland had gotten remarried and was now with Tameka, there was no guessing where he was heading when he left the office, even though many wondered what happened to his relationship with Lizzy Hubbard. But before leaving for the day, he was called to Mr. Senior Morton's office. "What now!" Copeland thought to himself while keeping his cool in front of his staff. He opened the door when he made it to the Director's office. "Come in and take a seat, Copeland. The family has thought about your situation, and we want to inform you that things will not work out as we thought." The Director said with a hardened expression. "What's that s
