A MONTH LATER

I officially have everything I need for my apartment. I got the apartment and all the furniture. Decorations and all. All my clothes I needed were there cuz I told Clark I was spring cleaning and throwing out clothes, but I was packing.

Today, Clark went to work so I was up bright and early. I cooked breakfast so after he ate, he left. When he left, I packed up all the rest of my things. Like perfume, hair products, and hygiene shit. After I packed everything, I put it into the car. I put the divorce papers on the kitchen counter and I got into the car. The driver drove me to the bank. Carol was waiting for me as soon as I walked in.

"Ready??" She asked smiling

"Yes..." I said quickly

We went into her office. I gave her the papers for me to move my money signed and dated by Clark. After 2 hours, the process was done.

"Well we have everything, the money will be in your account within 24 hours..." she said

"With it being processed can he do something to make it not transfer??" I asked

"Oh no, honey. That paper is signed, sealed, and delivered. He can't stop the process because he's signed off on it already. So don't worry about that..." she said smiling placing her hand on top of mine

"Thank you so so so much. You and Harlow have been amazing help during this whole process. I'm so grateful for y'all..." I said squeezing her hand

"You know Harlow and I see you as one of our own, so you can always count on us..." she said making me smile wider

We got up and headed out of the office. She walked me to the entrance and I turned to her.

"Thank you again..." I said

"You're Welcome, Honey. I know that things have been tough lately, but it'll all be better soon. Just keep your head up and keep that beautiful smile shining. Things will work out for your good in the end..." she said giving my hand a light squeeze

We gently pulled each other into a hug. This hug was much needed. I've been through it and I finally feel like I could breathe. I can finally relax. I'm officially outta his presence and I can relax while waiting on the next step to be completely free. Within the next 24 hours, I would be officially on my own and doing my own thing. It felt surreal that I was finally doing this. I've never been on my own before but I'm going to do my best. Best for myself and make sure that I can stand on my own before I rely on anyone else again.

We told each other bye and I headed off. We pulled up into the townhouse subdivision I was now living in. What I love about this is for you to come in you must have a keycard or you have to put a code in so it can call me to let you in. Very secure and it made me feel at ease knowing that it's not easy to reach or get to me.

I direct the driver to my building. I started getting my things out but he took them from me. I directed him to my place and he sat my things down. I thanked him before he left. I locked the door.

I stood in the front room just looking around. I'm now an independent woman who's doing this on her own. I was excited about this new chapter in my life.

I can finally get back to myself. I can finally have a clear mind. I can finally breathe. I'm finally home.

After unpacking my things and putting them up. I ate a Subway and went my ass to sleep on the couch. I was exhausted.

3 HOURS LATER

I woke up to find my phone beneath me vibrating. I turned ova and grabbed my phone. I looked at it. Clark had called 62 times and left 48 voicemails. I shook my head and pulled the blanket up more. My phone started ringing again. I let out a breath before I picked it up.

"Hello..." I answered

"WINTER WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT! I COME HOME TO SEE ALMOST ALL YOUR SHIT GONE AND DIVORCE PAPERS AGAIN!!" He yelled
"WE WERE DOING GOOD SO WHAT THE FUCK IS THE PROBLEM BRUH!!"

"I never wanted to try again. I was just being nice while I got myself together. You thought I forgot how you did me? No, I didn't. Yes, I'm gone and have divorce papers cuz I want a divorce. If you can't go through the easy process of this, I'll have no choice but to take you to court..." I said

He started rambling about shit I didn't care about.

"If there isn't anything else, Bye..." I said before hanging up

I blocked him, put my phone down, and got up. I still had many things to do. I had packages coming with house decorations for the bathroom, my room, the front room, and the kitchen. My second room was going to be a space where I'd start working on my fashion design. I was so excited to finally be able to decorate and everything.

I had already put up everything. From the time I slowly started moving in, I was unpacking things as I moved in. Because of that, I didn't have anything to do. But I was going to order a couple of groceries and wine. I wanted to cook dinner and have a lil wine to just enjoy my space. The first thing I had to decide was what I was going to cook. After a while, I decided to cook honey-glazed salmon on a bed of rice with broccoli on the side. I got red wine and got a few more groceries. I paid for everything and headed into the kitchen. I started washing all the new dishes I got. I sat them inside the dish water to dry. I mopped around the house and plugged in my air fresheners. I lit a candle in the front room and my room. I cut some music on and sat on the couch waiting for my groceries to get here.

While on the couch, I started looking up cars. I needed to get one cuz I couldn't keep getting hauled around all the time. While looking, they texted and said they were at the gate. I buzzed them in and gave them directions to my building. They brought my groceries, I tipped them, and started putting things up. After that, it was time to cook.

After cooking, I took a shower before I started eating. I had a towel wrapped around my body and hair. I fixed my plate and poured my wine. I sat my stuff on the table in the front until I found a movie. It started to get a lil dark so I closed all my blinds. I found a movie and started eating.

It felt good to be in my own place. I was loving it.
