Bryan couldn't be more happy. His dreams finally came true. Was he dreaming? His father finally approved of it and nothing was going to stop him.He rose up on his feet and yelled out in joy. Finally, he couldn't get rid of his wife. Taylor would be gone from his life in a few days and that was just what he wanted.He stared at the paper once again and kissed it. Stella was going to be the first person to hear this.His door opened with just a knock and his best friend walked in."Guess something wonderful is cooking in here." Alex said as he noticed the smile on Bryan's face."You're really smart. I finally got what I wanted bro. I can now finally get rid of her!"The smile on Alex's face immediately faded completely. "What do you mean?""Take a look." He handed Alex the letter."So what next? You're planning on getting rid of your wife? Are you sure it's right for you to make such rash decisions without getting affected in the end?" Alex questioned."You're such a killer joy Alex. W
Bryan remained quiet. His back was still turned on her, and he had made up his mind not to spear her even a glance. It was all about getting the company, but when she had asked this question, a different kind of emptiness filled him."You should know better, Taylor." He answered.He tried to take another step away, but she ran to him and encircled her arms around his body. Her hold was so tight."Bryan, you might still have a chance, we might still have a chance to make this work out fine. I'll pretend I knew nothing. You can still learn to love me."Because she had just spurred some emotions in him, he forced her arms away from his body and turned around to face her, while she sniffled. Her eyes were red and swollen, but that wasn't going to make him change his mind. He had come this far for Stella and he wasn't going to lose her for Taylor."I don't need you in my life any longer, is that so hard to understand. You of all people know how much I dislike you, and I hate it when you tr
Biting her lower lips, she rose on her feet and grabbed her handbag from the table. It was really so suffocating breathing in the same place as Stella.She opened her bag and dropped a few dollar bills on the counter. "Thank you."As she turned to leave, she spared Stella one last glance and shook her head in pity. When it comes to Stella, Taylor really despised losing, and she wasn't going to lose today as well. She thought of ignoring Stella, but she knew it would be impossible."I guess at this point, I'll be taking over as Mrs Anderson pretty soon."Taylor clutched her hands into fist, trying to control herself from getting so mad. She sucked a deep breath in, and smiled. "So?" She uttered."So, you lose."She felt that word deeply. "Because I'm simply backing down now doesn't mean I lost for you, Stella, get that into your head. I'll be back one day, and I'll seduce my husband back and away from you. You'll watch me take over again""Dream on." Stella yelled.Like she had thought
Bryan sat in his office. It was hard enough concentrating on what he was doing. He had lodged in a hotel last night, but made Taylor think he had gone to meet Stella last night, and he had not come home this morning because he didn't want to see her face, but now, he was feeling so strange.Probably it was because he had been too harsh on her last night. He suddenly recalled the look on her face when he handed her the divorce papers and what she had said to him, "Why is it so hard for you to love me."He recalled another. "You still have a chance. We still have a chance to make this right."He rubbed his face with his palm when he wouldn't stop thinking about last night. Why was she suddenly occupying his mind? He was pretty certain that she would sign the divorce paper as soon as possible, but something inside of him wanted to prolong it.He needed to get it done before he officially became the next CEO.He opened a file and began staring at it, hoping his mind would stop thinking ab
Very early the next morning, Taylor opened her eyes to find herself naked on the bed with Bryan. When she raised the duvet, she also found out that he was naked. She nearly gasped, but controlled herself from doing so because she didn't want him to wake up and find her on the bed.He might kill himself or hate himself if he does find her on the same bed with him. She didn't want anything that would make him pity her.Age slowly grabbed her clothes and rose from the bed. One last look at him, she tiptoed out of the room and headed straight for hers since they never slept in the same room. As soon as she got to her room and shut the door carefully, she leaned on it and began squatting to the floor.She placed her palm on her forehead."Oh shit. Oh shit! What the fuck did I do?" She questioned no one but herself.She could remember everything that happened between her and Bryan last night. He had just unexpectedly kissed her and because she was drunk, she allowed him to take her upstairs
Taylor sat in front of the place where her mom had been laid to rest. Her eyes were really swollen and she held some white roses in her hands."Mom? Do you think I did the right thing? You're proud of my decision right? I did it because I promised you I'd be fine before you left. It still hurts and I feel like I'm being stabbed in the heart right now. What does true love feel like? How does it feel to be loved by someone you really love and would give your all to, mom? I have absolutely no one to answer this question and that is why I wish you were here."Taylor squatted and dropped the flowers on her mother's grave."I miss you so much. I want to be happy again, but I don't think I can. I've worked so hard, and yet I failed to keep my marriage. I know he never loved me, but everyday, I hoped he would for even a second.""That's enough, Taylor. You've cried enough and you've hurt yourself more than enough for just one man that was never going to appreciate you. He isn't the only man o
"Alex, do you think you were right?" Bryan questioned. Alex cocked his head towards Bryan's direction. "What are you saying? What was I right about?"Bryan's eyes were closed and two of his fingers were on his forehead. He didn't utter a word giving Alex enough reason to think he was actually talking gibberish.He was fully drunk after all. Bryan still didn't utter a word but continued drinking from the bottle right in front of him. Alex, who had been on his phone the entire time, decided to pay close attention to his friends.It had been two days since she left his life for good, and he was already acting this way. Bryan had finally signed the divorce papers too and everything had been finalized. Now, they were no longer married couples and now she no longer had anything to do with him, or a single right over whatever was his.Taylor had said. "You are now a stranger to me, and I hope I won't be the one suffering again whenever we meet next time. She had returned to take some of the
Alex thought of giving up completely. Maybe it wasn't just meant to be. Of course, he could do it. He tried to tell himself this, but deep down, he knew it would be impossible.He continued staring at her, till she touched his hand which made him return back to his senses immediately. Once she let go of his hand, he looked away from her eyes, and sucked a deep breath in to control himself. "Bryan's home already. You don't have to worry about him.""Why wasn't he picking up my calls? Were you with him?"Alex nodded his head in response to the question. "I'll go check up on him early in the morning.""No. I need to go check up on him now. I'm fucking worried." As she turned to walk away he grabbed her arm. In the past, he did this most of the time when they were still in college, but now, a different feeling came with it."Bryan's going through some shit right now, and he needs to be alone. I don't think it's the perfect time for you to visit him."Stella bit her lower lips. "It's abou
