RISING FROM MY PAST

SHOCKER!!! LET'S GET DIVORCED

"I want a divorce" I said plainly as I had already decided to do so

"if divorce is what you want, then so be it. How dare he cheat on you!" Maximus cursed

"it's not his fault, it's Marian's fault for not realising this sooner. I just feel sad for her, she trusted Samantha Rodriguez far too much" oldest brother remarked.

"it's just as you said, I trusted them more than I trusted you, I have regretted my actions and want to separate from him before things go too far" I sighed

"I understand you sis, you'll get what you requested. Besides, you have reasonable proof" Mark said

"even if she didn't have any proof, since she wants a divorce, she'll get one. Getting divorced is not a crime requiring evidence and statements" Maximilian added

In my previous life, I had doubted them and left them all for that bastard, but now I have become wiser. Now that I have decided for myself, I wouldn't let emotions get in my way. I'll take everything he got from my for myself leavin nothing behind

"Brothers, I need your help with something" I started

I got home and the house was empty. Just as I thought, he wouldn't dare bring his mistress home to face me now. Because he hasn't got what he wanted. He is still putting on the facade of a nice guy.

I suddenly felt nauseated, it was morning sickness. I ran to the bathroom to throw up and luckily he didn't catch me at that moment.

"darling I'm back" Calvin arrived just as I was coming out of the bathroom

"you're back" I said with a nonchalant tone which he sensed right away

"I've got something for you" he said waving a plate of cookies in front of me. He knew I had a soft spot for cookies

"funny enough, I've got something for you too, sign them" I threw the divorce papers at him

"What's this?" he asked ignorantly.

"you aren't illiterate are you? Because I know you graduated from Oxford university. Sign it and don't waste my much of my time" I was getting impatient

"divorce?" he was shivering out of shock

"what happened? Did I do something to offend you? Why would you suddenly want a divorce?" Calvin became emotional. It wasn't fake, but I knew he wasn't shivering out of love for me. He was shivering because the big fish he caught was about to escape his net

"I don't need to explain anything to you, you cheat. Just sign it, and before you ask. I don't want alimony, I want a divorce. So sign this papers and get the hell out of my house"

"did you just call me a cheat? You know fully well how devoted I am to you and to our marriage. If I had made you suspicious of me in any way, please forgive me. But as for these divorce papers, you won't see my signature on them" he sighed but I could see the smirk underneath

"you don't have much of a choice, I need not any proof to divorce you. But since you want proof, here's your proof." I slammed an indecent picture of him and Sam in an hotel room on his face.

He turned pale and started to plead "it's not what it looks like"

"what does it look like because I don't understand why you're trying to cover it up. If you don't sign this paper right now, I'll take this picture to court and request a divorce from them myself" I threatened and he had nowhere to turn to and no form of defense

With shaky hands, he signed the divorce papers.

"good, very good. Now, pack your bags. I'll do you the favour of having a taxi take you out of here" I said with disdain

"why would you kick me out of our house" he said suddenly

"our house? did you just call my house 'our house'? you must be joking. As far as my memory can take me, and I know I have a very good memory. This house was a gift from my father. Every single thing here down to the last spoon was all given by dad. Now you call it out house? wake up Calvin, wake up" I laugh at his dumb attempts

"but you should still have a bit of sympathy for me. Kicking me out in the middyof the night doesn't do us any good" he tried holding my hands but failed

"did you think of me when you cheated? I'll advise that you live now before I call the cops. That wouldn't do either of us any good" I smiled. and since he had no intention of standing up, I gladly did him the honour of pouring both him and his luggage out of my house.

Before getting him a taxi, I snatched both the divorce papers and the picture of Sam and him from his hands

"I'll keep these safe, should in case you wanted to file a complaint. Adiós Calvin" I waved him goodbye and headed back into my mansion

Having escorted Calvin out of my mansion, I suddenly felt like a heavy brick had been lifted from my heart.

I took another look at the picture then at the divorce papers in my hands. I couldn't believe that it all ended like that

'no, it hasn't ended. Not yet" I told myself.

This is just the beginning, I'll make sure I repay Calvin's share portion of contempt, a thousand times if I have to

RING!!!

"hello Ella, we have to talk"
