Christina Bradbury - All About Progress (Book 1)

So many Envelopes!

'Drip! Drip!.

No, let me rest... I said my head.
Drip! Drip!.
Go away, I'm tired... I said again.
Drip! Drip!
"David please go fix the tap," I spoke softly and drifted back to sleep.
Drip! Drip!.

I groaned as I sat up and rubbed my eyes, and looked over at David's side of the bed...  Empty.
"David?" I called out.
"David!?" I repeated
Drip! Drip!
"Ohh shut up I'm coming!" I yelled at the dripping tap in the bathroom.

I put my foot on the ground, Splatter!
"David!! Why is there water on the floor!?" I yelled, looking around at the dull room.
That contained only our beige curtains, bed, and two huge wardrobes.
I sighed inwardly and placed both feet on the ground.

The asshole probably left the taps open...
I walked to the bathroom the taps seemed to be fine.
"David? " I called out as I walked to the dining area.
Oh shoot, he probably left for work.

Why I'm not at work? you may ask..well I might have gone to the most expensive schools but I've never worked a day in my life, I was always at social gatherings with my mom and her age mates. Mom was a member of the 'Social Seasons', a Society for the wives of the Rich and Elite. The plan was for me to get married to one of the son's of these rich and elite members and We would merge companies if ever they owned one, but I went on to ruin their arranged marriage plans because I met my soulmate, who loved me for me and not because my parents forced him to.

I looked over at our little coffee table and saw a box of pizza.

That little sly and romantic husband of mine... I thought to myself.

I walked over to the table, checking out the whole room, noticing that the carpets had sucked in the water and the water was beginning to rise on them.
I frowned
I'll call the cleaners after I have this pizza.
I quickly grabbed the box from the table and sat down.
I opened the box and instead of pizza, there was an envelope, a brown envelope, I quickly took the envelope and after struggling for a while, I finally opened it.

And the cover page startled me.
"Divorce settlement between Mrs. Christina Seyfried and Mr. David Seyfried."
I gasped

This is a joke... I turned the page.
And I saw David's signature...
I quickly got up and rushed over to the phone and dialed his number.

"The number you have dialed does not exist."

Boom!

Smoke?.. I ran to the living room and the TV plugs had caught fire, and immediately the main switch went off, I put out the mini fire and I walked back to our tiny bedroom and opened the drawers and Davids's clothes were all gone.

Knock knock.

I quickly rushed to the door when I heard the knock, I was hoping that this was all a joke and that it was David at the door, with Ashton Kutcher, waiting to tell me that I got Punk'd, but when I opened the door there was no one, Just another envelope on the ground.

I picked it up and opened it.

Dear Mr. Seyfried, you have 7 days to evacuate these premises or you will be forcefully removed.

No no no...

I sat on the wet floor and sobbed...
I couldn't deal with all of this...
