I divorced my cheating husband

chapter 1

Raven's POV

"Do well to sit down and fasten your seatbelts." The pilot informed everyone.

Quickly, I hastened my steps to secure my seat before takeoff. I scanned the available seats and my eyes landed on one close to a window. Aha! Now just a few more steps and-

Thud!

I felt a solid frame that caused me to stumble back a little, I pulled back to face a huge back clad in a crisp black suit. To my greatest surprise, it didn't even bugle or notice my presence, lifting my eyes to the back of the head in front of me, I felt so insignificant.

"We take off in a few minutes." The pilot's voice jolted me and I hurried off to my seat. I turned to look back at who it was but unfortunately, everyone was already seated.

Feeling drained and too weak to bother, I collapsed into my seat and took a deep breath giving myself a moment to relax.

My trips were always busy and filled with work to get done. For the first time in a while, I was enjoying a flight without the wariness of a schedule to keep up with.

I just concluded a client consultation with a foreign investor who needed to get the best out of his next contract. Everything went smoothly, the best part was how it ended so quickly.

With nothing left to do, I boarded a plane back home, the sooner I got back, the sooner I could bask in my free time.

Home meant James, my husband. We met in high school and started dating in college, after we both graduated, getting married was the next thing we did and Since then, we have been happily married.

James is an artist, making him more of a freelancer, I was the one with the stable work and I enjoyed working so he could pursue his passion freely. It's how we have always been.

The thought of him made me realize he was to pick me up when I landed and he was not aware of the change in timing. I had to inform him.

Moments later, I had my phone in hand, updating him on the schedule change. After sending the message to him, I leaned back into the seat and fixed my eyes out the window. A sudden heaviness cast on my eyelids and I drifted off.

The pilot's voice announcing our arrival and soon landing drew me from my sleep.

It took a while for me to become fully aware of my surroundings and when I finally did, the plane landed. Getting off, I headed to collect my suitcase.

Zeroing my eyes on a familiar black luggage, I grabbed it and headed out of the terminal.

I took a taxi straight to my office, he would collect me from there and take me home. A smile spread across my face as I thought about what to do with my free time. The taxi dropped me in front of my corporate law firm and I stepped out. Several minutes passed and I realized he might take a while so I decided to wait in my office.

The elevator doors opened and the quietness of the floor gently reminded me nobody was around. Luckily I had my reserve keys to let me in, going through my bag to find it, I approached my office.

As I walked past my receptionist's area, an odd form caught my attention. I halted in my tracks, what was that? I took a few steps back and immediately I froze.
