Second Chance

Chapter 1

It Sunday, Sophia's favourite day. As it's the only day when her husband spends sometime with her. Can spending 15 minutes from his day count as spending time? Well for Sophia it is, even though it's only for having dinner together. She can count on her fingers how much 'quality' time her husband spends with her. But today John decided to spend 30 minutes. And for Sophia it was something she could cherish her entire life as it was her birthday.

She hoped those 15 minutes are to make her day special. But life is funny. When ones expected happiness to come, hurt was about to hit in a where you never expected.

Same happened with Sophia. John stayed extra 15 minutes after dinner to give the divorce papers he had prepared for her.

Sophia was eldest daughter-in-law of the Rogers family. She was John's 'legally' wedded wife. The word legally was indeed funny, it was word that can put one in immense power at the same time can took all the authority from someone else's. Sophia knew this since the time she got married to John that it was a forced marriage and John really hates the idea of being told to.

Still she thought that maybe if she's a good wife and good daughter-in-law, then maybe, just maybe John might start to love her. But all the hopes and expectations were keep destroying, as Sophia had to face her own battles. All her love became hurt and in a blink of an eye after three years of her marriage, her legally wedded husband gave her divorce paper and asked her to sign. All she remaining hopes were scattered along with heart already broken heart. She took the paper, without reading it, signed it and gave him the paper.

In a blink of an eye her three years marriage ended.
