In Loving You

Chapter 11

Before I could even react Ivy asked, "You're a divorce lawyer?"

"Yes ma'am," he answered curtly.

I was speechless. I don’t know how I would react. Warren wanted divorce and that is the reason why he is here. He doesn't want me anymore. He wants to… terminate our marriage. I stood there numb like someone poured down cold water from my head.

How long had he been contacted this lawyer? How long had he plan to divorce me.

My hand instinctively covered my stomach where the baby is, reminding me that this isn’t just me anymore. This isn’t also just about us. I can't let the baby grow without a father.

I turned around and I saw Warren standing on the staircase with Ivy beside him. Ivy is already wearing her clothes. Warren glared at me while clenching his fists. Ivy is still smirking as she wrapped her arms around Warren trying to calm him down. I was supposed to be in her place. I should be the one being with my husband.

Warren walked towards the lawyer, "Give me the divorce papers, " he commanded and the lawyer handed him the papers, "This is what you want right? A divorce so that you and Calvin will end up happily ever after." He signed the papers without any hesitation as if those years and the love we had were just nothing to him.

Heck! It has only been a few days since our trip to France and the promise he gave me when wrapped his gift around my neck. The locket that I always wore even now.

"Am I nothing to you Warren? Have you really loved me?" I asked teary-eyed, my heart squeezing inside my chest.

If he answered yes I will still fight for us even if I'm the only one fighting.That’s the inly thing I need to know... that he loved me. I believe that if he was able to love me before then he would also be able to love me again.

"Of course I didn't. I never loved you. Everything is just a game. I just want your virginity so I married you. If you just gave me that before we got married then this won't happen,” he said in a stern voice.

I shook my head. He’s lying. How could he say that everything he had told me in our wedding and in our five years of relationship was a lie? How could everything that I hold on to be a lie? “No, I don’t believe you.” I know he loves me. I just know he does.

"We've been in a relationship Bella since we were in high school. You thought you were fooling us but the reality is we've been fooling you all along," Ivy added with a smirk on her face.

Warren and Ivy had been together while I thought Warren loves me that I was his only girlfriend? How could they fool me? How could they play with my feelings?

Now I know why it was so easy for Ivy to say that it’s okay if ended up with her first love because in the first place I never had Warren’s heart.

My heart felt like being stabbed and twisted by a knife. Warren never loved me. He never cared for me. It was all a lie and I fell for it. But I can’t let this end this way. So I swallowed my pride for our baby.

I held Warren’s arm and muttered, "Warren I'm pregnant," hoping that it would change everything. That he would realize if he will leave me, it would also ruin the life of our baby.

"I don't care about that bastard. Besides, that child isn't mine,” he said casually, showing how bad he want to end things between us and that he didn’t care about what would happen to me and my baby.

I tightened my grip on my shirt to fight the urge to slap him for calling my baby who wasn’t even born yet a bastard. I had to put down everything just to make this work. I can’t lose him... I just can’t.

Honestly, I wasn’t only doing this for the baby, I’m doing this because I love him. I’ve never felt this kind of love with anyone before and I know he loves me. It’s impossible that he never fall for me in the years of relationship we had.

I know Ivy is prettier than me and she’s the perfect wife for Pierce because of her money and status, but is it really that hard to love someone like me?

“Will everything really end like this Warren. Is it really that easy to throw me away from your life?” I asked, my voice cracked in the end.

I held back my tears and bit my lip to stop it from trembling.

He didn’t say anything and ignored me. I laughed bitterly. It is the end and I can’t do anything about it because I was used. Warren never loved me. He loved Ivy all along.

"I will sign the divorce papers in one condition. They will have no rights to my child and they can't come near them. I don't want them to have anything to do with my child."

The lawyer did what I said and handed me the papers. I stared at Warren's signature and the blank space where I would sign my name. He then handed me the pen and I signed the divorce papers. This was it. It all ended too fast. I'm back to being Ms. Bella Price gone is the woman named Mrs. Bella Laurent. I went up the stairs so that I could pack my things when Ivy held my arm and stopped me.

"Where are you going?" She asked

"I'm going to pack my things," I answered.

"You actually thought I would let you do that? After stealing millions in Warren's company." I looked at her confused at what she is accusing me of.

"I never stole any money."

"Stop lying! We already know what you did and all your plans with Calvin. You will manipulate Warren into loving you then you will marry him and steal money from his company to make him bankrupt then after that you'll make him sign the divorce papers so that you can marry Calvin. Calvin won't have problems about his company anymore because Warren is gone to outdo him."

I stared at her like she was crazy, "How dare you turn the table and put all the fault in me like you never betrayed me for 10 years!" I shouted and lunged at her but Warren threw me off her and I landed on the edge of the table. Luckily my stomach wasn't hit but my arm felt bad.

I winced at the shooting pain on my arm. Instead of helping me, Warren helped Ivy stand up instead. She wasn’t even hurt at all. I should stop fighting about this. I'm putting my baby's life in danger. I should accept the reality that Warren never loved me and that everything was just a lie. Warren knew that I wasn't cheating; he just wanted to put all the fault in me. It was a sick plan he had with Ivy. I always wonder who would want to ruin our marriage when we didn’t offend anyone and we have no enemies. It was my husband all along.

“What are you waiting for? Get out of my house!” he shouted at me, “I don’t want to see your face again!”

I flinched at his words so I got up by myself and left the house without bringing anything.
