Leave Me Alone, Ex-husband

It all started with a bet, a bet George Stanley made with his ex-girlfriend, a bet that allowed Vivian to marry her secret love.

George thought he could always win yet never expected, that losing Vivian would be his biggest regret.

===============

I am still lying on the bed, naked, with his marks all over my body, when he drops those cold words, “Megan is back. I want a divorce.”

I am shocked at how callus he can be. I haven’t told him about my pregnancy yet.

What should I do now?

Will he forget about Megan and carry on with this marriage if I tell him?

“It is clearly stated in the contract that we can end this marriage if we don’t fall in love with each other in a year. I don’t love you, Vivian. You failed to win my heart.”

He says those words with no emotions, looking into my eyes.

I understand I'll never be able to replace Megan in his heart, so I decide to keep my pregnancy a secret from him.

“Let’s divorce then,” I say

============

Vivian thought she would live happily with her baby away from George and his cold, heartless world. But fate had already made a different plan for her.

She ultimately crossed his path.

“You dared to hide my child from me. Now be ready for the consequences.”

When George reappeared in Vivian's life, everything became a tornado of chaos.

How was she going to keep herself and her child away from him? Would she be able to save herself from getting hurt again?

End the marriage

Vivian’s POV…

I stand in the brightly lit hallway of the hospital, clutching the positive pregnancy test in my trembling hands. My heart races with a mix of excitement and disbelief as I gaze down at the life-changing news before me.

A surge of happiness and anticipation courses through my veins, filling me with an indescribable sense of wonder.

With newfound purpose, I walk briskly towards the exit, each step filled with renewed energy and hope. A radiant smile graces my lips, growing wider with each passing moment, as I carry the precious secret within me. It feels as though I'm floating, with the joy in my heart propelling me forward.

This is our first marriage anniversary, and I find out that I am pregnant. I wonder how George will react.

I swiftly take out the phone from my purse and dial his number, my heart leaping to my throat with a mixture of hope and nervousness. Thoughts of our journey together, the shared laughter, and quiet moments of connection flood my mind.

As the phone rings, each passing ring feels like an eternity, amplifying the anticipation that courses through me.

I can barely contain my sheer happiness, knowing that in just a few short moments, I will share the most incredible news of our lives.

But the call goes unanswered, and a flicker of disappointment momentarily clouds my expression.

‘No worries.
