1378 Words
Eliora's POV
The room is silent.
The unknown lady rushes to cover herself.
.
“Gavin!”
*What's this?”
“What's this?”
He refuses to answer.
I shift back
“Answer me please”
Hot tears roll down my cheeks.
“After everything?
“Now you can't look at me”
“Is this what I get for being your perfect, obedient wife , is this all I get?”
I walk away and slamm the door behind me
“Eliora wait!!!”
I could hear him
I didn't want to.
It hurts. Even to hear him. It hurts.
“Don't come after me, I'm begging you!”
“Eliora wait, babe you know it's late, you know I love you, please wait!”
I stop running
“You love me”
“Yes , I'm really sorry I can explain”
“You love me?!!”
I slapp him, hard.
He is shocked beyond imagination.
“Did you, Did you just slap me?”
I could hear the anger in his voice.
But I was angry too.
I leave everything behind.
Every single thing. My clothes, my memories, everything.
“Id go to mandys house”
I arrive at her door, both knocking and crying.
She opens the door
“Good Lord, what happened!”
She looks so worried.
“Eliora, please talk to me, no ,come inside first”
“Okay”
I said with my voice trembling.
“Have a seat”
“Thank you”
“I'll get you a glass of water first”
“Yes, I really need that”
“I'll be back.”
Daniel walks in
“ I thought I heard someone crying at the front door, but it's just you, don't cause any trouble today please”
He says as he laughs.
“Yeah, Its just me”
He notices my body was still shaking
“Wait , Eliora was it you that was crying”
I let out a shaky breath
“ What are you doing here anyways”
He pauses.
Mandy comes in with the glass of water.
“What do you mean, I'm her fiancee, I can visit her whenever I want”
“Yeah he is”, Mandy is quick to reply
I manage to roll my eyes.
“Let's watch some TV”
She said being very optimistic
“ Really Mandy, Tv at my lowest?”
I let out a sarcastic laugh
I know they'll try everything possible to make me feel better.
“You haven't told me what happened yet, so I don't know how low it is”
“Besides watching TV will make everything feel better”, Daniel added
“Sure you guys, let's watch TV”
Mandy put on my best TV show .
And for the first time, it didn't feel so interesting.
She noticed I wasn’t feeling like watching the show.
I run up to her to cuddle.
As we cuddle, I burst out crying and she joins me too.
We remained like that for like 30 minutes.
Daniel could not just help but look at us both with pity.
I could have sworn I saw a tear.
After those minutes I sure felt better .
Mandy always has a way to make everything feel better .
I always believed “I can do anything as long as Mandy is by my side”
“Thanks, you're my absolute favorite”
“I know “
She chuckles.
“ Now can you tell me what happened?”
“It's Gavin, he cheated on me”
Mandy sighs.
“I knew it”
She looked sad.
“You know I don't like him in the first place”
“ Yeah you do, no need to lie, you were head over heels when I told I accepted to marry him”.
“Well that was then, not until he cheated on my best friend”
“I hate him and I hope you do too Lora “
“You bet I do “
“That's good”
“But what am I going to do now”
“We are going to make him regret his decision to cheat on you”
“Yeah, how?”
“I don't know but we'll figure it out. For now I think you should just stay here.”
“Without clothes?”
She nods.
“Yeah, we can share mine.”
“Okay, I don't want to go back there either”
“Of course you don't”
“I feel sorry for the stupid mistress if she thinks she found a good man”
“She's so dumb”
We both giggle.
“ You know, I thought our marriage would be perfect, I mean I sacrificed everything for him, I attended all his games, I even gave up my dream for him, I gave him my body”.
“And after everythingg!”
I start to cry.
“After everything “
“Don't cry bubs ‘cause he's not worth it”
“What am I going to do with myself now”
“All my stuff are there”
“I know what we are going to do”
“And what's that?”
“ We go to him pack our luggage and give him the divorce papers”
I swallow
“Divorce papers?”
“Yes, divorce papers.”
“Oh”
“ What do you mean oh, don't you see he doesn't deserve you, he can never deserve you”
“Yes, I know”, I say quickly but reluctant.
“Do you still love him?”
Silence.
“No. No I don't”
“Where, that was close.”
“It's settled then”.
“But”
“But what Lora?”
“ If you go like this in front of him, you know he'll laugh at you”
“That's true,Fine let's do this”
“Yes girl”
We do that first thing tomorrow.
Yeah ok.
Am I really going to do this?
Divorce?
What will my parents say.
I scream and collapse on the bed.
I was tired.
Infact drained
Now I have to face him tomorrow, the guy who have just shattered me.
My heart races a bit but I force it to stop.
He broke me and I'm going to make him regret it.
I cry myself to sleep.
The morning bird crowed very loudly this time
“It's trying to hide”, I whisper to myself..
It was morning, very early in the morning.
But more importantly, it was raining.
Rain had a way of making everything feel heavier .
It blurred the lights of the city into something softer, almost beautiful. But I didn't trust beauty.
Not anymore.
This morning, the rain fell harder than usual, slamming against rooftops and pavements like it had something to prove.
Thunder rolled across the sky, low and threatening, shaking the quiet streets of the neighborhood I once called home.
That thought alone made my chest tighten. Home wasnt home,not anymore.
I held on to my raincoat tight as I prepared for what was ahead.
As I approach the front door of my Ex-Husband's luxurious villa, all the memories start rushing in, everything, the laughter, the smiles and the I love yous.
Mandy leans towards me and holds my hand tight.
“Let's do this”
“Of course, we are already here”
At the front door, I heard her, the woman who ruined my matrimonial home, but still I entered .
I summon up courage
I go in
“What's she still doing her, I thought she left.”, the mistress said placing a cold gaze at me.
I hate her so much.
“ Don't you think You're so smug and dismissive for just a mistress?”
I bark back at her.
She looks pissed.
“So you are not going to look my side, huh, Gavin?”
Mandy tries to hold me back.
“No”
“Calm down, Lora?”
“I am calm”
My gaze is vicious.
I'm ready to end this.
I walk up straight to him.
I look him straight in the eye.
“ Prepare the divorce papers
