His ExWife (edited version)

Chapter 1

"That's just it! Don't you ever see the mirror? Gosh have you even looked at yourself lately?" he yelled making every ounce of hope die instantly.

I know this relationship hasn't been working well enough at all since quite a few months, so in order to reach the bottom of the matter, i tried to start a conversation with Scott but his perception of me lately was not in the positive way.

I looked down at myself and see the clothes, what was wrong with a summer dress, i did not even gain an inch of gram ever since this relationship trouble struck me, clearly it mattered as a question of death and life to me.

I give him a questioning look demanding an explanation, and he starts yelling again in response, "See? That's the problem! You are such an illetrate despite being the educated woman who graduated from the Cambridge..."

By now i could surprisingly feel tears rolling down my eyes, warm tears flowing on my cheeks making a way to reach my neck. I take a deep breath and approach him to the couch he was sitting on with his two hands holding in between the restless mind of his, his elbows resting on the glass table.

I hug his chest and whisper, "Are you oka-"

I got immediately cut off half from my phrase, he promptly pulled away from me, "Yvonne are you atleast sane, what the fuck are you even doing?! Just never, ever get this close to me, I...." he paused a moment and stared at me for about a whole minute, boring imaginary holes in my body, then i observed his eyes well, they were full of boredom and exhaustion, as though he were tired or fed up me...it broke me, and caused me such an anguish to see such distate in his eyes for me.

The long pause that almost lasted for eternity ended and he spoke again, but this time his voice came more as a soft whisper, "I need...I need a divorce Yvonne, just don't ask me why, you know I want the best for both of us and this marriage has cost me my social status, not that i care, but clearly this marriage has been a big mistake, and because you are my wife, I don't want to keep you in the dark; I love another woman.."

I froze instantly, there was no name for what i felt now, right this instant. Did he just say that he doesn't love me anymore?

"I can provide you with all the money you want, trust me this is best deal any woman of your age will have craved for, the most luxurios life, what else do you want?"

I could feel my heart shattering as he said each word and i was stunned to know that my first love Scott did balance everything with money, had he once realised that i was not a gold-digger, that my crave wasn't anywhere near his dollar stashes, I wanted a loving husband, one that he used to be at the start of our marriage a year ago...

"Scott," i started taking a deep breath trying to inhale some air in, "I know we can figure it out, we can save our marriage, and have a happy lif-"

"No Yvonne!" he refused flatly on my face, "I love Aana, i met her on a business trip to Italy 3 months ago, and things started getting out of control, that's when i realised that you may have been the first woman and wife in my life but i never loved you, because if i did, i wouldn't have had fallen head over heels for Aana, also she is perfect for the family and also to manage the business, she is not just an Eco graduate you know.." he said eyeing me up and down.

For the first time, I felt ashamed of who i am; maybe he had reason, maybe i didn't deserve being in the position i was today, maybe i didn't deserve to be Mrs Scott Anderson today...

"You will receive the divorce papers tomorrow, make sure i get them back signed..or you are aware of how i can make you sign if i come to my ways," he threatened and left the door hastily, as if in a hurry to reach an important meeting on time, leaving me to cry for hours in the dark evening, under countless stars watching me from above; hot tears wouldn't just stop flowing from my reddened cheeks and i just sat there and eventually fell asleep after crying my eyes out...
