Alexandra P.O.V:
(5 years ago)
I was so excited. I had prepared a dinner for Jayden and I as it was our 3 year anniversary. I had prepared Jayden's favourite dinner and worn the dress he brought me for our one year anniversary. It was a red strapless sweetheart flowing gown and I had minimal makeup on.
He was working late tonight because he had a meeting with a very important client. I checked my watch again and realised he was 30 minutes late.
Just as I was about to call him, I heard the front door open.
I ran to see Jayden. He looked tired.
"Hello JayJay! Happy 3 year anniversary!! I made dinner. It's your favourite. Charcoal chicken with salad..."
He sighed.
"Alexandra! I can't do this!" He said tiredly.
"What can't you do?" I asked him nervously.
"Us! I can't do us."
"What.. but you.. we.. I love you" I stuttered.
He just looked at me with a blank expression and I wished I never heard the next words that came out of his mouth.
"Do you really Alexandra? Well sorry to burst your bubble, but I don't. I mean look at you. You barely got through high school and college. You never want to go to fancy events or do anything that I want to do. I look at all my other friends and I look at their wives then I look at mine. I mean seriously! They always wear fancy gowns and make themselves look nice and presentable and I come home to you to see you in joggers and a t-shirt. Whenever my parents invite us to a feast, I feel so very embarrassed. I bet that you don't even know what spoon to use for soup or how to look at least a bit elegant or professional! You embarrass me! Your so low-class. Illiterate! I want a divorce Alexandra Wilson!"

Tears were falling down my cheeks
Illiterate
Low class
Embarrassment
Barley got through high school and college
. "Listen here Mr Hilton. I am sorry for being an embarrassment to you. I'm sorry I was not raised with a sliver spoon in my mouth or people that waited on me hand and foot. I'm sorry I don't dress nicely or elegantly and I'm sorry for being an embarrassment to your reputation! I thought you loved me! Well look at how wrong I was!".
With that I left the room, tears still streaming down my face and I shouted "Oh and Happy anniversary Mr Hilton!"
With that I cried myself to sleep in the guest room.
----------------------------------------the next day --------------------------------------------
The next morning, I woke up and went into my bedroom or should I say HIS bedroom and started to pack away everything I needed and wanted.
I would be meeting the lawyer at 4:30 pm to discuss the divorce. So I laid out an outfit for the meeting. It was a short black and white floral dress with black pumps.
After packing I quickly ran to the guest room and changed applying minimal makeup. By the time I was finished, it was 4:00 pm. I grabbed my phone and clutch and went to see the lawyer.

I meet Jayden and the lawyer (his name was Andrew Bolovad) at a café named Sweetly Yours. As I sat down we began to discuss the details of the divorce.
"So Mr Hilton here is giving you $1 million dollars and the estate in New Jersey. Anything you want to change or add?" He asked.
"Yes," I answered. "I am happy to have the estate in New Jersey but I don't want the $1 million dollars. That is my final offer."
"Take the million Alexandra. Everyone knows you married me for the money anyway," Jayden said.
"No, that is where you are completely wrong. I married you because I loved you. Money was not my care in the world, Mr Hilton, so do not dare accuse me of marrying you for your money. I am not some... gold digger! I can afford to work." I pointed my finger at him accusingly.
Andrew than told us to sign the papers. We agreed that I would not take the million dollars.
"Mr and Mrs Hilton..."
"Ms Wilson"
"Ahh yes. Mr Hilton, Ms Wilson. That would be all for your divorce. You are officially divorced."
With the lawyer having mentioned that, I thanked him and walked out of the café. I returned to his home and grabbed all my suitcases and hired a taxi to take me to the airport.
On the way there, I deleted every photo of Jayden and I. I deleted his number. I left no trace of him on my phone.
When we arrived at the airport, I payed the taxi driver and made my way over to the receptionist desk.
"Hello Ma'am. I'd like to book an the earliest flight to New Jersey."
" Of course. We have a couple of seats left and the plane will leave in two hours."
" That sounds perfect." I thanked her and sat on a seat and waited.

"Flight 1356, Flight to New Jersey please start to board."
I immediately shot up and started to board the plane.
As the plane was about to take off, I whispered a goodbye to everything and everyone I was leaving behind.
This was going to be a long flight
