"Vanessa are you sure this is what you want to do ? " Vanessa divorce lawyer Steven asked . Steven worked for the best law firm in New York he has been a family lawyer for nick and Vanessa since nick began playing for the New York giants 8 years ago .

" Yes Steven I'm tired of dragging my feet with this decision! I wanna sign these papers and be done" Vanessa looks up and glares across the table at the man she has been with since she was 14 years old the man she thought she would be with until her dying day . The man she thought would be her first and forever . But you know how the saying goes assuming makes an ass out of you . And that's what nick has done for the last 8 years while he's been in the NFL making an ass out of Vanessa .

" can I have a moment with nick before I sign these " both parties lawyers stepped out of the room leaving Vanessa and nick sitting at the long rounded oak table staring into each others eyes . " you can't even look at me can you ? " Vanessa asked nick while he kept his head turned to the side watching a guy in a harness clean the windows. " you don't have to do this V , your choosing to ruin everything we've built together your choosing for our kids to grow up in a broken home! A home without me !!! their father!! " says nick . Vanessa begins blinking back tears and sighs .

nick finally looks at her he gets up walks around the table and gets on one knee infront of V and gives her a passionate kiss at first she kisses back then she pulls away and slaps him " wtf was that Nick ?" " look I know I messed up baby , but it's the life of an athlete okay ? Football is an emotional sport . My team was under performing emotions were high I went out that night in Vegas and things got crazy I never intended do what I did and ruin our marriage and break up our family.

Vanessa scoffs and looks him in the eyes " I gave you 15 years of my life Nick and you throw it all away due to a bad game ?" Vanessa shakes her head and looks at the ceiling to contain the tears from falling down her face " If it was that bad that you guys lost your game you should have flew home on our jet and come talk to your support team me or your mom or hell your brothers would have been there to help you we know how you are and how you get when your team under performs but for you to go to Vegas with your single friends as a married man and have sex with three woman at the same time and let them post it on social media !! That wasn't just a baby I messed up !! "

" Nick you want to be the 100 million dollar playboy well congrats you got your wish .You can go back and live this bachelor lifestyle. I'm done being the dumbass wife who sits home and supports her man knowing he's dogging her out every chance he gets . Me and the kids are going back to LA "
