Unbreak My Heart

Prologue

"Is this what you really want?" I asked him.

I stared at him from across the room. His eyes were on me as well. I honestly thought Noah and I would never ever come to this point. I never wanted for us to reach this point, Noah.

I wanted to fight for whatever it is left of us. But looking at him with his sad eyes on me, it looks like fighting won't do any good anymore.

We failed. I guess, we just fell...apart.

I can feel my heart breaking into more pieces when I saw Noah slowly nodding.

"No shared assets... No children..." Noah's lawyer smiled.

"Plus the post-nuptial agreements still stands.." My lawyer added.

"One of the simplest separation I've ever encountered." The words echoed and it felt like world was spinning as I was in the worst roller-coaster ride of my life. Every inch of my being hurting and I just wanna get out of here. Hearing them talk about how our separation will be the simplest one they handled slaps.

I know our marriage was better than this, Noah.

I squeezed my hand before reaching out for the pen, trying to hide my shaking.

I guess we're in the endgame now. And there's nothing else we can do.

My hand felt the cold metal casing of the fountain pen they gave to me, mirroring the coldess I feel right now. Without any more words, I signed the papers.

And with each stroke of the pen, my heart was breaking.

There goes our promises of lifetime.

After signing the separation papers, Noah held my gaze. I gave him a small smile. A smile that's holding my entire sanity right now. He should never see me cry. He wanted this. He thought it was what's best for the two of us.

I'm not gonna lock him up into this marriage when he clearly doesn't want to stay anymore.

My hands gently grazed over the growing life inside my small tummy.

I'm sorry but I'm gonna hide you for awhile. I'll be selfish for a little while.

I stood up and finally walked away, feeling nothing but pain and hearing nothing but the loud beating of my breaking heart.

And if a heart breaks.....how do you unbreak it?

Is there really a way to unbreak a heart?
