As I searched through the file cabinet for some documents, my fingers brushed against an unexpected envelope. My heart raced with anticipation as I pulled it out. It was an envelope I had never seen before. I pulled out the documents with a tensed up face ,my heart racing and full of curiosity. My eyes widened and my face became pale upon reading the document's content. It was a document that would sever all ties, a symbol of failed promises and lost love. “Petition of Divorce”, my eyes widened in shock, my heart sank as I read, every word slicing through my soul. I stood there with a piece of paper, frozen with surprise, my whole body sweating and trembling. “I must be dreaming, this can’t be real”, I uttered barely above a whisper. I lifted my gaze to review the document just in case I had read it wrongly. I read with bated breath, my anxiety escalating with each paragraph, my eyes widened in alarm as I absorbed the words. Fear gripped me as I delved into the document. The w

The sound of drawers opening and closing echoed, rousing me from sleep. I rubbed my eyes trying to clear the haze, I gazed out, met by the warm smile of sunshine. It was morning already. ““Mia….Mia", I glanced around seeking her presence. “She’s gone to school, it’s 10:00 am”, Harrison informed me, his tone firm as he scoured the shelves determined to find whatever he was searching for. I slowly got out of bed and reached out to where I had kept the envelope. “Are you looking for this”, I said as I handed him the papers. He turned, his eyes narrowing as he looked at me with frown eyebrows, He snatched the envelope tearing it open . “Ooh, so you already saw these”, he said with an arrogant tone as he raised his eyebrows. "It’s okay, I was planning to show them to you anyway. You saved both of us time”, he smirked. I froze in place, my eyes locked onto his. “Well don’t act surprised, I had already told you I am not interested in this marriage anymore, I can’t stay wi

As the evening unfolded, the sound of the key in the lock signaled his arrival. He swung the door open, entering like a storm. I panicked upon seeing him. He walked up to me, “are you done with what I told you to do”. He asked. The question hung in the air like a challenge. I responded with a deafening silence, leaving the question unanswered. He came closer, his eyes fixed on me. "I am talking to you Ms. Emily”. He said. “I won’t sign them”. I stammered out a hesitant reply, looking straight to his face. “You what, say it again, what Emily, I didn’t hear, say it again”, he said with a voice full with marveling curiosity while nodding enthusiastically as he moved closer to me. I said I won’t sign them”. I stammered out yet another hesitant reply while maintaining a steady gaze despite trembling hands. I steeled myself to confront Harrison, I stood tall despite trembling legs. A lifetime of dread condensed into this moment. I wasn’t ready to let go of a relationship

Later that night, sorrow whispered my name, the weight of my sorrow felt like an anchor, dragging me down. My world had shattered. The marriage I had fought So hard and sacrificed So much for had finally come to an end. Harrison was sound asleep, like he had achieved his long life dream. Looked at the man who once promised to give me the world, shattering the one I had created. How could he be this selfless? What’s the reason he changed so much?. Did he even love me!. The more I thought, the more questions I had but still no answers emerged. I felt like I was drowning in the sea of uncertainty. Being a person born in a broken family, growing up was like navigating a minefield. It really messed me up mentally, maybe that explains why I have always had attachment issues with Harrison. My childhood was filled with numerous challenges, from low self esteem, anxiety and depression, social isolation, low academic achievement to identity confusion, and So many more. Thinking about Mia

My thoughts were interrupted by the sound of footsteps. It was Harrison. As he walked in, my heart skipped a bit. The atmosphere shifted, like the calm before a storm, He walked up to me. “Ooh Emily, you're done packing already, it’s like you were eagerly waiting for this day, just like me”, he said mockingly. Lost in my own world, I ignored his presence. “Emily, so you hate me already, just yesterday you were begging me to stay and today you're showing an attitude, uhmm….”, he continued mocking. I didn’t give him any attention and proceeded to leave, as I was just about to reach the exit. I stepped back to where Harrison was. “Before I go, I have a favor to ask you, in case you don’t mind”, I said looking straight into his face. “You can go on, as long as it’s not taking you back”, he said with his head held high, and a slight tilt backwards. “I can at least fulfill your last wish, you know i'm not as bad as you think I am”, he smiled with his bottom teeth. “Why did you

Liam stumbled backwards, his eyes darting between us as if searching for answers. I shifted my gaze at Harrison. “Are you done”, I asked softly. “Yes dear, I am done”, he said as he turned his gaze towards Liam, who stood stiff. “What are you two doing here alone, where is Nora?”, Harrison asked as he glanced around. “Who are you to ask”, Liam asked furiously. “Emily is my wife, we can talk about whatever we want”.“Emily is mine, she may be your wife now, but she was mine first, and I am going to take her back from you” “Don't be so sure”.“ Of course I am, right Emily”, Harrison said as he turned his gaze towards me. “Can you both stop this, you're not kids anymore”, I said, my tone firm and fed up. “Emily, you should ask your fake husband to shut up”, Harrison said as he pointed a finger at Liam. My eyebrows shot up in surprise, and I shot a glance at Liam. His face lit with surprise too, he gazed at me continuously, and let out a sigh of disbelief. “ Emily, don't tell me you

Liam locked his gaze on me, for a moment without saying a word. “Why are you just staring at me, I thought we had come to talk”, I murmured softly, maintaining my gaze. “Yes, there are some things I want us to talk about”, he said firmly as he moved closer to me. “I want us to talk about our marriage”. My eyebrows knitted together as I tried to understand. “Wait, what do you mean?”I asked curiously. He slowly lifted his hands and placed them on my shoulder.“ Emily, I am talking about our marriage, me and you”, his tone turned cold, more serious and scary. “L..iam”, I stammered. “Are you talking about the marriage we all know is fake?”, my voice trembled as I spoke. “To you it may be fake, but to me… !”, he paused for a minute before continuing. “To me it's not”, he spoke, his voice filled with vulnerability. “L…iam”. “Yes Emily, So please don't abandon me for Harrison, please Emily, I need you too, Emily please”, he begged.

“Emily, Please don't do this to me”, Liam said as he held my hand. “Why would you do that to yourself, how did that even cross your mind”.“Liam, do you remember what the doctor said, ‘Mia has reached this condition due to excessive stress, which I am sure is because of her father’, I don't want to see my daughter suffer anymore”.Liam stared at me with an unyielding gaze, his eyes boring into my soul. “Emily, you told me Harrison has never loved Mia, why do you want to take back Mia to such a man”.“Harrison seems to be a changed man”, I murmured. Liam darted his gaze back and forth, a look of disbelief etched on his face. “Just a few words from him and you are already convinced he's a changed man, Emily, didn't you learn what kind of man he is, after all the suffering he brought to you”.“What if he really is a changed man, what if I can finally fulfill my dream of a complete family!”“Are you listening to yourself right now”.“Yes I am, and I know one thing, everyone deserves a se

We quickly rushed upstairs, towards Mia's room. Before we could reach the doorway, there was a man standing besides Mia's room, with his palms folded together, pacing back and forth. As we steadily moved closer, his image became clear. It was Harrison. I quickly moved closer to him, “What do you think you are doing here?” my voice laced with anger as I spoke. “Emily, please calm down first”, Harrison spoke. “ I am here to see my daughter, Mia is my daughter too Emily, please don't deny me the right to be there for my daughter when she needs me”.I stared at him with a look of disbelief. “Your daughter, Harrison! did you suffer memory loss or something, since when did you start considering Mia as your daughter”.“Emily, why don't you let go of the past, that was some time back, what matters is that I am here”. I chuckled Sacarstically, “What do you think I am, a toy that you can come too whenever your bored and ditch whenever you want”.“Don't talk like that please, I am ready to pa

He steadily walked towards us, and stood besides me as he reached. “What are you doing here Camilla?”, his face fell as he asked, his eyes clouding over with disappointment. Camilla stood still, staring at Liam, as a faint smile played on her face. “ Would you like to guess?”she said sarcastically. “Can you please stop your drama Camilla, please, this is not the right place, nor right time”, Liam murmured. “Ooh, so when is the right time, can you please inform me so that I don't get you in a bad mood at least for once”. We both stood still, staring at Camilla, without saying a word. Fact was I was too exhausted to argue with her, at least not when Mia was fighting for her life. “What? Why are you staring at me as if you have seen a ghost?, anyway it's okay, I know you two are just surprised to see me but I can't help it. I was missing you love!. She said as she moved closer wrapping her hands around Liam's neck. Liam quickly pushed her hands away, his voice firm as he said

In no time, the doctors ran past me towards Mia's room, the door shut right in front of me. My heart raced with anxiety and fear of what would happen next. “Mia! Mia”, a blood curdling scream escaped my lips, echoing through the hospital corridor. I quickly ran towards the doorway, trying to budge in but the doctors couldn't let me in. “Emily, Please calm down”, Nora tried to console me, but it was all in vain. “Please Emily, Mia will be okay”.“No! No! Mia!”, I spoke in hushed tones. I acted like I was going crazy, like my brain was short circuiting. “Emily, what has happened”, Liam came running. As soon as my gaze fell on him, I felt overwhelmed by my grief and I burst out crying, great sobs racking my body. “Li…a…m!, Lia.. m!”, I stammered, words barely audible through my sobs. “Mi..a!”, I stuttered as I pointed towards the ICU, where Mia was being treated from. “Sshhhhhh!, I am here now Emily, I won't let anything happen to Mia, I promise”, he said as he pulled me closer, pla

“I am afraid to say this but her heart condition has become worse”, the doctor said. “Heart…!”, I exclaimed in surprise.“Wait…!doctor, I think you're mixing up results with another patient, "My daughter doesn't have any heart condition”, I stammered, my heart racing with anxiety. “Isn't your daughter's name Mia!”.“Yes Doctor, her name is Mia”.“Then that's the one I am talking about, wait..!, you didn't know about her heart condition”.My jaw dropped and my eyes widened in shock as I heard the doctor's words. My body felt weighed down by the crushing news. I stumbled back, trying to balance, a wave of weakness washed over my legs, leaving them trembling. “Doctor, can you please explain more”, Liam asked. “Mia has a very rare heart condition, Anxiety induced Cardiomyopathy, a condition where chronic anxiety and stress can lead to weakening of the heart muscle, which sometimes leads to heart failure”.“Doctor, just tell us, what is needed to treat her, don't worry about the treatm

“It's about your daddy”, I murmured softly. Mia looked at me straight in my eyes, as though trying to read through me, “Daddy”, she said surprisingly, “what's wrong with daddy?”, she asked curiously. Liam turned his gaze and looked at me, my whole body was trembling out of fear of what was to happen next, he slowly moved his hand and placed it on mine, as a way of comfort. “It's okay, let me talk to her”, Liam said. He turned his gaze and looked at Mia, who stood still, confused on what was going on. “ Umh, you know Mia, your daddy won't be coming back to live with you”, Liam said softly. “He and mummy are not together anymore, so you guys won't be able to ever live together again”, Liam spoke calmly and carefully. Even before Liam could finish what he was telling her, tears streamed down her face like she already knew. Mia turned her gaze and looked at me, like she wanted to hear the truth straight from my lips, “Mummy..”, she stammered, you could sense the fear in her voice.

After a moment of staring at me, Harrison suddenly broke his silence. “Mia, Mia, where is Mia, I want to see Mia”, he stammered. Liam got his phone and dialed. “ Hello security, Please come in, we have an intruder. Okay, thank you”. He spoke. Harrison turned his gaze and looked at Liam, he folded his hands and pleaded. “Please Sir, please let me see my daughter just once, I am begging you please”.I looked at him and smirked, then turned away to leave. I kept hearing murmurs of him begging as I proceeded to my room. Nora jogged behind me too. She slammed the door shut as soon as we reached the bedroom. “Emily…..”, Nora said as she put her hands on my shoulder. I slowly placed my hand on hers, a gentle whispered connection. “It's okay”, I murmured. “Emily..!”, Liam's voice vibrated through the room. “Can I come in”, he said. “Yes please, come in”.“ Emily, I think I should leave now”, Nora said as soon as Liam entered the room. I nodded my head in acceptance. “Emily, are you okay
