Take Me Back,Ex-Wife!

Chapter 5

Chapter 5

Cassandra’s POV

“Ouch.” I cried not because it stung but because it hurt so much. He chose his ex-lover over me, he didn’t care if I was bleeding, he just wanted to get her to safety and not me. I thought the role of a husband is to always protect his wife, am I overthinking? How on earth did I get here with him? Was I so blind and carried away? This was an arranged marriage and I messed up by having feelings for him.

Today is my birthday, not even a happy birthday from him but instead, he invited his mistress over so they could have s*x under the same roof with me.

“Cassy, what happened here?” Isabella dropped the stuff she came with and I was happy she came, it was the perfect time.

“Talk to me Cassy, you are bleeding, where is the first aid kit, I need to tend to your wounds now.” Seeing how she showed her care for me, I ended up carrying like a baby.

A few moments later, Isabella already tended to my wounds and assisted in cleaning the mess in the living room. She got me a bracelet as a birthday gift and it made me happy a little, at least she remembered.

I told her everything that happened and she got furious, “You mean he did that after cheating? Just give me the orders and I will gladly execute it asap, first of all, I am going to ruin that b***h with my fingers and she will know I am a tigress in a human form.”

I chuckled and she gave me a deadly glare, “What’s funny? You should be upset.”

“I am but the way you are acting it’s so funny.”

“Well, I am serious right now, no one is allowed to make you cry or experience a cut on your birthday.”

“Let it slide, it’s not worth it, I am glad everything happened, since I know my place now I guess I have no choice but to accept whatever fate holds for me.”

She finally calmed herself down and sat closer to me, she held my hands saying, “Best friend, I want you to be happy, do not let that man ruin your life, you are so beautiful and a lot of guys are dying to have you in their life, your marriage is just a façade, so it’s best you let it go and find love that will value you in return.” I didn’t know what to say at the moment, I took a deep breath saying, “It’s my birthday, why don’t you get me ice cream.” I didn’t want to talk about my marriage anymore because it hurt so much.

I had so much fun with Isabella but deep down in my heart, I am just a sad little girl who can’t forget everything that happened today. I kept checking my phone every minute to see if he was going to send me a text or call, but nothing.

I returned home and I realized Dylan hadn’t returned, couldn’t believe he was still with her. I heard the sound of his car and I assumed maybe he was home to set things right.

He opened the door and walked in, “Good evening.” I said to him but he ignored my greetings, he just walked in and the next minute he stepped out already changed, “Leaving already?”

“Yes, I can’t be in the same house with someone as disgusting as you.”

“Dylan, what exactly did I do wrong?”

“Stop pretending okay, I hate it and the more reason I am irritated by you, goodnight.” He exited the living room. I came out with him but he ignored me in his car, I tried to hold him but he pushed me off, “Get your filthy hands off me.”

With the pains in my heart, while I was on the floor, I said out loud to him, “You are going to regret it.”

“Really? Let’s see about that.” He drove off with speed.

The night of my birthday, my bed was soaked in tears, and I couldn’t sleep all night, When morning came, my eyes were swollen because I deprived myself of sleep, I finally concluded, that I was going to divorce Dylan, enough is enough, the way I fell in love with him, I believe the same way I can also fall out of love with him, it’s better to be alone than to be in a place where you are not accepted. This was not the future I hoped for with Dylan but it is what it is, he could get married to that b***h for all I care, and I am done.

I called my lawyer at once and informed her to get my divorce paper ready. I also planned a trip to Dubai. I made my reservation online because, after everything I have been through, I need a break.

My mom called me to have lunch with her. We talked about so many things about my childhood, she noticed the sadness in my eyes during our conversation but I really did not want to bother her.

“Cassy, my little pumpkin, you know you are all I got my jewel, tell me what is bothering you.”

“Mom, you worry too much, I am fine.”

“Are you sure about that?” She asked again and it was best I told my mother what I planned on doing, “I have made up my mind Mom, I am divorcing Dylan, please don’t stop me or hate me for it, I have had enough.” I didn’t know when tears left my eyes like a raindrop.

“Come here little pumpkin.” She hugged me and caressed my back, “Please stop crying, do whatever makes you happy, I feel so terrible about being supportive of your arranged marriage with him.”

“It’s not your fault mother, please stop blaming yourself.”

I finished packing my belongings to my car and walked around the premises for the very last time, I remembered the first day I came in here with Dylan after our marriage had been signed, everything that went on from that day, the first night we both got drunk and had s*x, I can’t believe everything about the love we shared was just an illusion created in my head, I hate myself for growing fond of him, I hope I never cross path with him, leaving here, I am ready to embrace the new me.

I signed the divorce papers and left a note that read,” Thank you for the birthday surprise yesterday, goodbye!!!”
