All these years I have been faced with so much pain but not once did I request for divorce.This was because I hoped that one day our marriage will become a vibrant and happy one.I wanted a happy home and family for my daughter. She deserves it at least.
Now that I caught Luke cheating on me with my own sister, I was still recovering from the shock and he walked in here with divorce papers in his hands Instead of a proper apology." What do you mean divorce?" I stuttered and he moved closer." Are you deaf? I do not want to be in this wreck you call a marriage…" Luke yelled and I flinched." Luke...I…Uhmm, What about our daughter?" I started to stutter out of the fear of what Luke and his mother would do,I was the one that got hurt but I was the one that got served divorce papers." What daughter! That's my daughter…You have nothing to do with her, Sign the papers…Take your property and get out! You are not allowed to leave this house with anything purchased with my money,So you can as well just sign the paper and walk out" Luke commanded ,I had nowhere to go or what to do ,My parents won't let me move in with them,I fell on my knees and started to plead with Luke." Maybe…Just maybe,if you didn't sneak into my room and convinced me to sleep with you,All of this won't happen, Although we didn't plan for our daughter but she happened…."" Are you stupid?" Luke grabbed me from the floor and pinned me to the wall." Hit me ! At least let me feel physical pain…You cheated on me with my sister and you want to throw me out like trash…What have I ever done to you Luke? What!" I screamed and he raised his hands to slap me.This wouldn't be the first time so I was waiting for it." Don't waste your energy on her ,Look here…. Sign those papers and leave this house before my granddaughter comes from ballet rehearsals. You are no longer wanted in this household!""Please, Luke, I'll do anything," I begged, tears streaming down my cheeks. But he remained unmoved, his resolve unyielding."Sign the papers and get out," he demanded, his voice cold and unrelenting.With trembling hands, I reached for the pen, my heart heavy with despair. As I scrawled my signature across the page, it felt like I was signing away not just my marriage, but my entire future.As the reality of my situation sank in, I felt a sense of numbness wash over me. I had 24 hours to leave the only home I had ever known." If you don't leave the house peacefully…We will throw you out"As I rose to my feet, preparing to leave, I felt a surge of anger coursing through me. How could Luke and Nelly betray me like this? How could they treat me with such cruelty and disdain?But as I made my way to the door, my heart heavy with sorrow, I was met with a sight that filled me with a sense of profound betrayal. There, standing in the doorway, was Nelly, my own sister, wearing a smug grin on her face.I felt like I had been stabbed in the heart as she mocked me, hurling insults and taunts in my direction. The realization that she had been sleeping with Luke behind my back, betraying me in the worst possible way, filled me with a sense of profound betrayal.Tears streamed down my cheeks as I struggled to comprehend the magnitude of her betrayal. "Nelly, how could you?" I choked out, my voice trembling with hurt and confusion.Nelly's laughter only grew louder, her eyes gleaming with malicious amusement. "Oh, Carina, you really are as dense as they come," she sneered, her words like a knife to the heart.I felt like I had been punched in the gut as the full weight of her betrayal crashed down on me. How could I have been so blind? How could I have confided in her about my marriage, not knowing that she was sleeping with my husband behind my back?"Stop it, Nelly," I pleaded, my voice barely above a whisper. "How could you do this to me? How could you betray me like this?"But Nelly just smirked, her eyes cold and unfeeling. "Oh, please, Carina. You were always so weak, so desperate for love and affection. It was easy to manipulate you, to take advantage of your naivety."Her words felt like a slap in the face, each one a painful reminder of my own vulnerability. I felt like I was drowning in a sea of despair, unable to find a way out."Why, Nelly?" I whispered, my voice barely audible over the sound of my own tears. "Why would you do something like this to me?,I told you everything! What I went through in my marriage with Luke and you…"But Nelly just shrugged, her expression devoid of remorse. "Because I could, Carina. Because I wanted him, and I didn't care about the consequences. You were just collateral damage."Her callous words cut me to the core, leaving me feeling empty and broken. How could she be so heartless, so cruel?, I was suddenly jolted from my reverie by the sound of footsteps approaching. My heart clenched with dread as I looked up to see Luke, my husband, walking hand in hand with Nelly, my own sister.A wave of nausea washed over me as I watched them draw closer, their laughter and whispered words like a knife twisting in my gut. It was as if they were deliberately flaunting their affair right in front of me, reveling in my pain and humiliation.Tears welled up in my eyes as I struggled to comprehend the enormity of their betrayal. How could they do this to me? How could they be so callous, so heartless?"Carina," Luke's voice cut through the silence, his tone dripping with false concern. "Are you alright?"I wanted to scream at him, to unleash all the pain and anger that had been building up inside me, but the words caught in my throat, choked by the weight of my sorrow.Instead, I could only watch in silence as Luke pulled Nelly into his arms, their lips meeting in a passionate kiss. The
Lost in my own misery, I hardly noticed the sleek black car that pulled up beside me, nor the tall figure that stepped out from within. It wasn't until a voice called out to me that I looked up, startled, to see Luke's uncle, a man of wealth and influence, standing before me. It was Martins,I had met him few times, From what I heard, He was the most powerful in the family but yet reserved and cold. "Carina?" His voice was filled with concern as he approached, his brow furrowed with worry. "Is that you?"I nodded numbly, too stunned to speak, too broken to care. But before I could utter a word, his personal assistant stepped forward, her expression grave."Sir, that is indeed Mrs. Carina," she confirmed, her voice tinged with sadness. "I overheard the workers saying that she was served divorce papers and thrown out of the house. She's been out here, begging for two days now."The weight of her words hit me like a sledgehammer, the reality of my situation crashing down on me with bruta
My Ex Husband Wants Me Back 6. Stunned,That was the word. I stood there with a will in my hand, Billions of dollars now in my name, Properties, Companies. How was I going to manage this as a highschool dropout? " Grandma Katie! I have always seen you as a mother, Whenever Luke treated me like trash,I came to you for comfort and you did comfort me , You took me out on walks and promised me that one day …I was going to have my revenge on him for all that he did to me but this …All of it , It's too much for a highschool dropout who is emotionally unstable to maintain" I said dropping the offer on the table in front of Madam Katie. I was grateful for what she wanted to do for me but I couldn't take it.I wasn't sure of myself. Luke had always said that I would ruin whatever I laid my hands on and I didn't want to ruin Madam Katie's investments." Why ? Tell me …Why won't you take it?"She asked while relaxing on her sofa and I sighed. I wanted to take it but I wasn't sure I could do it
Leave it all behind. I wasn't being foolish just like Martins had thought,I was trying my best to make sure Luke had done enough damage to my heart, When it was time for revenge,I wouldn't care about how he felt,That was probably the reason Madam Katie asked me to see him again and even beg to take me back." Luke…. please,I have nowhere to go, I know that I am a mess but please you can not throw our our ten years of being together…" Apologizing or rather begging him disgusted me , Why was I sorry? After all I was the one that got cheated on, Himself and Nelly should be on their knees begging me but I guess it didn't matter. " What are you doing?" Martins moved closer to where I was leaning, He stood blocking me from Luke's view and he whispered, His voice was filled with annoyance and I know he wondered,If I was dumb or just like he said ,Dense. " Please stay out of this…" I replied my voice barely over a whisper. " Carina! What is your problem? Why…" " Luke! Please I beg you…T
As Martins sat there, stunned by my revelation, I couldn't help but feel a twinge of regret for blurting out the truth. I had always kept my family issues hidden, afraid of the judgment and pity that would inevitably follow. But now, faced with Martins' concerned gaze, I found myself opening up in a way I hadn't before."It's just… I have nowhere else to go," I confessed, my voice barely above a whisper. "I know they haven't been the most supportive, but they're still my family."Martins regarded me with a mixture of sympathy and understanding, his features softening as he took in my words. "Carina, you don't have to go back to them," he said gently. "You have options, you know. You have your own strength and resilience."I shook my head, feeling the weight of my situation pressing down on me. "I don't know, Martins. I feel like I've hit rock bottom," I admitted, my voice trembling with emotion.He reached out and placed a comforting hand on my shoulder, offering me a reassuring smile
As Martins stormed out of the house, leaving me to face my family alone, I felt a knot of dread tightening in my chest. I turned to my parents, hoping for some semblance of understanding or compassion, but what I got instead was a slap across the face from my mother."What do you think you're doing here, Carina?" she spat, her voice dripping with contempt. "And why are you with Luke's uncle?"I stumbled backward, my cheek stinging from the force of her words, tears welling up in my eyes. "I... I just needed to talk to you," I managed to choke out, my voice barely above a whisper.But before I could say anything else, my father stepped forward, his expression darkening with anger. "Cut to the chase, Carina," he snapped, his voice cold and unforgiving. "Why are you here, and why should we even care?"I felt a lump forming in my throat as I struggled to find the words to explain. "I... Luke and I... we got a divorce," I finally managed to say, my voice trembling with emotion.There was a
As Carina stepped outside with Martins, she felt a mix of relief and anguish swirling inside her. She tried to compose herself, but the weight of her family's rejection was too much to bear.Martins glanced over at her, concern etched in his features. "Are you okay, Carina?" he asked softly, his voice filled with empathy.Carina nodded, but as she opened her mouth to speak, the floodgates burst open, and tears streamed down her cheeks. "I'm so embarrassed," she sobbed, her words barely coherent. "I can't believe you had to see how much they hate me."Martins reached out and gently placed a hand on her shoulder. "It's okay to cry, Carina," he said softly. "Sometimes it's the only way to let go of all the pain."Carina choked back a sob, her chest heaving with emotion. "I just don't understand why they treat me like this," she whispered, her voice trembling with hurt.Martins furrowed his brow, his eyes reflecting her pain. "Have you ever considered the fact that you might not be their
As Martins turned the car in a different direction, Carina's curiosity piqued. "Where are we going?" she asked, her brow furrowed in confusion.Martins simply smiled mysteriously, offering no explanation as he pulled up in front of an upscale boutique. "Get out," he instructed gently, gesturing towards the boutique.Carina hesitated, unsure of what Martins had in mind. "Why are we here?" she asked, her voice tinged with uncertainty.Martins shrugged nonchalantly. "I noticed you've been wearing the same dress," he remarked casually, earning a sniff from Carina as she self-consciously checked herself.Before Carina could protest, Martins continued, "I'm not saying you smell," he chuckled, seeing her reaction. "But I thought you might like to freshen up your wardrobe a bit."Carina's eyes widened in disbelief. "You want to buy me clothes?" she asked incredulously, unable to comprehend Martins' generosity.Martins simply nodded, his expression sincere. "I want to treat you," he explained,
