Chapter one: Anniversary
Aria's Pov
Life seems to blossom more when you are madly in love with someone
As I looked in the mirror,I saw a woman that has gotten everything she wished for
The perfect life,the perfect husband and a baby on the way
I was all dressed up for my 3rd anniversary with my husband, and he was waiting for me in a hotel that he booked for our celebrations tonight
I was looking forward to this anniversary mini party because I was going to announce some joyful news to the love of my life
I met my husband at a cafe where I mistakenly spilt coffee on him because I was in haste
After a series of apologies from me to him ,we exchanged numbers and kept in touch with each other and in the process fell in love after several dates
As we were young couples in love we rushed to get married and we have been happy for three good years
I never imagined that I will have such a good and happy life
I was imagining his expression and reaction to the news of my pregnancy
We finally made a baby together
I went to the hospital a few weeks ago and it was confirmed
I decided to share the news with him on our anniversary night
I quickly left the penthouse as I entered the elevator
The ride down was an anxious one for me as I practised how I was going to tell him the news
I clutched my purse which contained the pregnancy report and just decided to hand it over to him and just watch a series of emotions go down his face
I enjoyed the car ride to the hotel; it was quiet, but my heart wasn’t. It was racing the entire time
As we got to the hotel I made my way to the room
My hands are all cold from anxiety
Using my access card I entered the suite but was met with silence
The living room decorations were all beautiful but he was nowhere to be seen
I had no idea where he was or what surprise he was planning this time as he always surprised me every anniversary and never failed to leave me shocked
I headed towards the bedroom and as I opened the door,I froze
No way!
No,no ,no
And before I knew it,hot tears rolled down my eyes
My vision blurred and my heart shattered into a million pieces
I couldn’t process or fathom what I was seeing
It was a lot to take in
Why would he do this to me
All the years of love we shared were shattered like a broken glass
This definitely can’t be fixed
As I stared at my husband in the bed,asleep and naked I couldn’t tell what he had in mind while he f****d her
He wasn’t alone on the bed
He was with a woman and the worst part of the situation and the most heart-wrenching thing is that the woman in question is my sister
My blood
Why?
As tears flooded down my face like a stream
I knelt down on the floor and began to gather myself
I quickly stood after a while and ran for the door
I definitely thought I married the right man
My life was a bed of roses but it wasn’t anymore
He was always good to me
He loved me too much and I was too high on the love to see his true colours
He was a cheat
A scumbag
I felt so tired and extremely exhausted and as my vision was blurry with tears I failed to see the wet floor sign and slipped on the floor
I fell and blacked out
—————
I blinked my eyes open and quickly shut it due to the bright lights emanating in the room
Where was I ?
As I slowly opened my eyes I noticed I was in a hospital
The cotton quickly opened and a doctor walked in
“Good morning miss,a stranger brought you here,he said he found you passed out in a hotel lobby”
My memories rushed back to me
The pain
The anger
All series of emotions rushed back at once and I felt my heart breaking all over again
As I remember how I fell my hand quickly rushed to my stomach
I looked up at the doctor,” How is my baby?”
He quickly clears his throat “Well,unfortunately you lost the baby,the fall was a huge one and we couldn’t save the baby”
Another heartbreak
All because I fell for a love fairytale
I lost everything in one night
As tears rolled down my face, the doctor quickly left, giving me space to take in the bad news.
I couldn’t even blame anyone but myself
I was careless and absentminded in everything that concerned him
I really thought it was true love not knowing I got a cheating scumbag in disguise
I processed my discharge papers and left the hospital
I boarded a taxi and headed to the penthouse
I wondered if he was home and as I reached I realised he wasn’t
He was definitely still enjoying his time f*****g his sister in law
I was not surprised
I quickly entered our room,packed my things,took everything that belonged to me while leaving everything he gave to me behind
The clothes,the jewellery,the expensive bags and his ring I left them all behind
I left the wedding ring on the nightstand with a note that said “goodbye,let’s never meet again”
I quickly looked around at our house once more taking in the space,the memories we made here and I left for the elevator
Never looking back
Not even once
