Chapter 1
The rustling of paper, the stroke of the pen, the heart breaking inside of her, she looked across the table where the love of her life sat with a blank stare while sitting next to his very attractive lawyer. She had finally done it, she is now a free woman, not that she actually wanted to be a free woman. She looks down at the paper she just signed and placed the pen down. She pushed the papers from her and sat back in her seat. The lawyer sitting next to her gave her a comforting pat on the shoulder which did not go unnoticed by the man sitting in front of them. He placed his hands on the table and reached for the papers, he grabbed the pen on his side and wrote his signature on the dotted line, now making it official that she is no longer tied to him. All she has to do is move out of the house she shared with him. She remembered those hateful words he had said to her only almost six months prior to this day.
"I do not want you. The only reason we had gotten married is because my mother had forced me into marrying you. I had not wanted to get married with you. You were a waste of my time and space, but the only thing great that came out of this, that you were amazing in the bedroom. I just cannot stay with one person for the rest of my life. You meant nothing to me, you mean nothing to me, so I am going as for a divorce."
The world no longer looked as beautiful as she thought, it became colorless, empty and gray, nothing but a dull look. Her world had come crashing down after that horrible day. She felt like she let him down, that she was not good enough for him, that she didn't deserve him. With her heart on her sleeve she had given into his wishes, she had called her lawyer and set up a date to proceed with the documents.
Now that he had achieved what he wanted, all she has left is to go back to the house they shared to pack up her things. He ad said that he would give her half of everything, half his money, half his possessions such as the house they lived in or one of the vacation houses they had bought together, but she did not want anything that belonged to him. She felt that it was not right to take something that did not belong to her. She didn't take his money for if she did, she thought that she would be looked at as a prostitute. She took the love she had for him, her heart, and the little surprise she had growing inside her. She had not told her lawyer because she knew that her now ex husband would demand her to dispose of the child or demand he had full custody of the child, especially after what had said about the matter.
"I am relieved that you had not gotten pregnant, for if you had then there would only be two options. If you had given birth to a son, then I would take him away from you, have you sign all your rights to me, make the child believe you did not exist. Finally, if you had given birth to a daughter, well you would have to dispose of it."
That had broken her heart even more than what he had done before. He had no connection to her whatsoever. That is why she had not mentioned it to anyone. She had gotten up from her seat after everything was decided, she shook hands with the judge and the lawyer in front of her. When she turned to say goodbye to her now ex husband, she froze because she knew he didn't want anything from her. She looked down at her rings and sighed. She slowly took them off and held them in her hands. She reached over the table and placed them in front of him, looked at him while he looked down at the ring, and said, "I hope you find the happiness that you deserve, I know surely that I did not deserve that happiness. Have a wonderful day Mr. Gabrielli." She did not want to wait for his response so she had turned away and walked out the room. He had stared at the rings that he had given her, he still could not believe what was happening. When he had gotten the call from his lawyer saying that his wife had agreed to file for divorce, his heart broke, his suspicion had been right, she had cheated on him, just as his mother had predicted. He grabbed the rings and held them in his hands. He looked up at the now closed door, she had walked out of his life forever, knowing very well the words he had said to her were cruel, but she had been cruel to him. With that thought in his mind, he shook his feelings away and walked out of the room and went to his office, hoping some paperwork can distract him from the pain he had been feeling since he had found out his wife had been cheating on him.
