"We're here for the divorce proceedings of Zahora Shelay Costas and Orion Eros Costas....." I cringed at the heavy Greek name my parents gave me.

I ain't even full blooded, my grandpa was Greek and grandma wanted to keep the Greek name strong, beginning with pops. Mom followed right through, loving the unique nature.....

"This divorce is based on adultery, habitual intoxication and abandonment. Along with irreconcilable differences....."

"Your honor these are allegations that my client has not committed." Her lawyer, stood up.

I looked at Zahora who had a self righteous look on her face, I bit my lips, tryna not show my hate and distate that grew for her. I looked back when the judge spoke.

Zahora

"Counselor as this is a no-fault state, these are what Mr. Costas is citing. I don't need proof of them, now I see your client is contesting this divorce. Mr. Costas still wants to be divorced, I'm sure you know where I'm going with this......." The judge looked up at Zahora lawyer.

Zahora dropped her head, looking at me with a small sneer, she thought I was gon change my mind? "The party still wanting the divorce, will still get it. It's the division of assets we gotta agree on....." Edgar told me quietly and I nodded my head.

I'm still sticking to my decision. Zahora wants to still stay together, I don't.....fuck up the third time....it's over. Especially with what I know (her fuckin the cop) and the other shit she most likely done.

I dunno.....Zah was good when we first started messin with each other. We were giving each other everything, Baby was around, but it was still okay....even when she was pregnant with our son, it was okay. It wasn't until Marcus and Trell started hanging round Baby....that shit been slipping. I let my birthday and hers slip by, she was an up and coming underground model. I was at the bakery a lot and I understand that be in the way.....but to ignore our first wedding anniversary.....?

I spent that whole night waiting. I cooked, got the house nice and clean......tryna work up for the two times that she missed. I'm not gon knock no one hustle, she wanna make her money she can, but damn. I wanna spend some time with my wife, too......

I'm that typa dude and I ain't scared to say it, I love hard. I do whateva to keep my girl happy, but I guess it wasn't enough for Zah. The fact that it was the third time, that it felt like she stood me up.....shit started clicking.

She was always with Baby, she was working on a shoot for a magazine and it went on later than expected. She coming home drunk and sometimes high as fuck.....I smoke sometimes, but Zah be on another typa high.....we started to argue more, then she'd leave and haul ass with Baby. It left me and Maris home, but that's ok.....I love my son......
