The Trio

Chapter 23

The next day it wasn’t till about afternoon when Victoria woke up and found that there was an empty space next to her then there was knocking on the front door so James came out of the nursery having just fed and burped Riley, casually walked down the stairs whilst Victoria went to see Riley, James unchained the door and he was surprised to see Edward standing there as he opened the  door and invited him in and sat in the kitchen and talked for a while till Victoria came down with the baby and she snarled at Edward at first sight when she entered the kitchen and walked towards James to kiss him and to pass Riley so she could make some brunch.

Later that afternoon James decided to tell Edward to move in permanently to Victoria’s disgust into the other guest room.

Weeks have passed and still no divorce papers as Victoria deliberately forgets to collect them as she tries to win James back, but one night James arrives home from work with the papers ready for her to sign so he could get it sorted and finalise it before the new year.

After having Victoria sign the papers James told Victoria that he is moving out and signed over the house to her and Riley as he was going to live with Edward in another house he has designed himself in the countryside only half an hour’s drive, this was so James could see Riley on a regular basis including special occasions.

weeks passed and still Victoria had not produced the divorce papers like she had promised so James decided to bite the bullet and after work was finished he went to collect the papers himself. He arrived home and watched Victoria playing with Riley in the living room instead of disturbing her he decided to wait till later before he told her.

Once Riley was settled Victoria came down and sat beside James and tried to cuddle up with him but he just sighed “Victoria we need to talk” she looked expectantly at James as he went to his bag and got out the divorce papers. “We shouldn’t plug this out more than it is I will move out and give up the house to you and Riley I have a country house that I have been building its almost done and its half an hour away so I can still see riley on the weekend”.

Victoria smiled sadly and nodded somehow she managed to convince herself that she could win him back “Will Edward be moving in with you” James sighed again “I don’t know yet ok I haven’t talked to him” in a huff Victoria signed the papers and watched with tear filled eyes as James packed his things said goodbye to Riley and drove off.

Later on in the week Edward went to James’s new home to see how he was doing he stayed throughout the day but eventually Edward said he had to leave James became very sad “No Edward stay please” Edward looked shocked “I don’t think your ready for that James” James came upto him and kissed him thoroughly “yes I am I love you and want you to live with me here” Edward’s smile grew wider “Are you sure?” he asked with a hope filled voice in answer James grabbed his shirt and pulled him back to the bedroom with a smile “Oh Yes” he said as he shut the door.

Victoria learned of their relationship a week later and became so furious she left Riley with them and went on a full night drinking bender which she later regretted as the next morning she woke up and found a strange naked man in her bed she promptly kicked him out and decided to get over James and focus for the time being on Riley.
