Divorce

Amanda POV
I stood at the court for nearly two hours, but in vain. Deep down in me, however, I wished he could not come. I wished everything that he was telling me was actually just a joke.
It had been two days since I returned from abroad, but it felt like those two days had been the worst in my life.
That day, when I fainted, I woke up in the hospital, but Justin, my husband, was not beside me no matter what. At first, I was hopeful that he would come, but he did not show up at all. I didn’t have anything, including the money that I had returned with in cash.
He did not come, no matter what. It was actually a stranger who offered to pay my bill since I did not have any money with me. The only money I had was in my wallet, but when I woke up, it was nowhere to be found.
Life was getting more complicated than I had imagined. I had suffered the last five years, but all that time I had hope that everything could be okay once I got back home.
From the moment I returned, I had not laid eyes on my little pie. I wondered where she was. She had always been my strongest reason to live.
The only thing I received while I was still on my hospital bed was a letter from Justin, my husband, telling me that I was urgently needed in court. He had, in short, filed for divorce and he wanted it fast. I cried myself to sleep, but I did not sleep overnight, and here I am, waiting for him.
The fact was, I was so confused and did not understand anything. What puzzled me most was where all this was coming from.
I spotted a black Range Rover Sport approach me and then park. I looked eagerly, and indeed, whom I expected to get out was him-my husband with another woman.
That must be the lover he told me about. She had a model-like figure and was dressed in a little red dress.
She had a baby in her hands, actually about six months old. The moment I looked at the baby, my mind went straight to Sam. My heart was bleeding for her, but no one seemed to give me any information about her. I had waited five years to be with her, and now this happens.
“Where is my girl?” I questioned him immediately. It was getting hard for me to believe anything that was happening. It was like I was in a movie and had no idea what the title was.
He formed a provocative smile… I could not believe anything that was happening. It was all like a dream.
“Please, Justin, where is Sam?” I was getting more impatient. I did not want him to tell me that something bad had happened to her.
“She is dead,” he stated, not even minding that those words could hurt me. The little girl means the world to me. And why was he even acting like the girl I was talking about was not his child as well?
This was our daughter he was talking about, and he didn’t mind at all. I wanted to see my daughter, and he was talking about a divorce so suddenly.
“Are you really hearing what you are saying? It is our daughter, and you seem not to even care about anything at all.”
He was actually acting like the biggest jerk I had ever known. At first, I had thought he was the man I loved, but I didn’t know if I still loved him.
Was it that I had loved the wrong person before, or was he just hiding inside? I was just so perplexed by everything.
