SANTIAGO 2

3 | GoodBye Corey

23 Missed Calls, Lucy watched her phone as Corey kept calling. She knew he was just going to beg her to not go through with the divorce But she was determined to teach him a lesson. She looked out the window as the jet landed when she was Pashian waving and jumping around happy to see her. She giggled at her best friend gesture as she unboarded the jet.
"Hey baby, how was it?" Pashian asked giving Lucy as hug as soon as she got off.

"How else is a divorce meeting suppose to go? I just want to go home and relax" Lucy said as she grabbed her designer frames from its rightful casing out her purse.

"You know I got you baby." Pashian said walking to the car with her best friend.

"But I'd be damn if you walk around that beautiful house of yours crying and shit. You better boss up on that Nigga." Pashian added as they got in the Maybach.

"Aw. I love it baby." Lucy beamed as they walked through the Woodland Hills Manor in Bankhead,Atlanta, Georgia.

"How much?" Corey asked.

"All together it would be 12,900,000. Or 46,341 a month." the realtor said stopping the tour.
"Its either this one or nothing, Corey." Lucy whispered in her husband's ear. Out of all the homes they viewed this one caught her attention the most. The 8 bedroom, 9.5 bathroom manor had an exquisite look.

"So.. Are we looking to buy?" Benjamin asked with a smile.

"Let's talk business." smiled accepting the price, before kissing Lucy on her lips.

"Lucy! Are you listening to me?" Pashian asked snapping Lucy back to reality.

"... Yeah, I hear you." she said before taking a sip of the remy martin cognac.
The rest of the car ride Lucy was out of it. She tried to keep a smile on her face and seem happy so Pashian wouldn't bug her about it but inside she was breaking. She no longer had her husband to talk to, the nights were cold and all because Corey stepped out their marriage.

Once they got to the house, Maria and the kids greeted Lucy with open arms. She couldn't help but smiled even if she was hurting inside.

"Hi mommy." Capri, and haven screamed as they hugged their mother's legs.

"Hey babies." she smiled as she picked them up and walked in the house.

"Where's Cj?" Lucy asked Maria as she sat down on the cassinella stone sectional.

"He's upstairs sleeping." Maria said straightening up the living room.
Lucy sat the girls down with Pashian as she went upstairs to check on her son.

A smile plastered on Lucy's face when she saw, Corey Junior,a splitting image of her soon-to-be ex-husband. A part of her wanted to just forget about the whole thing and forgive Corey, but everytime she thought about another bitch having what's her boiled her blood.

"You okay?" her best friend's voice caught her attention as she wiped the tear that was about to fall off her cheek.

"Yeah, I'm fine." she responded through a fake smile.

Pashian knew Lucy was lying , and she also knew she was hurting, so she thought of a plain to get her mind off her current situation.
"Let's go out of town. You need to have some fun." She suggested.

"Where we gonna go? I have kids to take care of, Pashian." Lucy asked walking out of Cj's nursery so they wouldn't wake him.

"Shit I dont know. What about Korea? You do realize they still have their father AND a nanny."

Lucy thought about it. She's been wanting to go to Korea for a while, but haven't had the free time since her and Corey split up.

Lucy took out her phone, Corey Karim, popped up on her phone. She took a deep breath before answering the phone.
