Sheila's POV:
"Baby," I yelled, closing the doors as I entered the house. Allen was sitting on the chair, his face grim.
"Baby. Guess what I'm about to tell you."
"It's good news, try guessing," I added but he was still quiet.
"You seem to be in a bad mood, but this would cheer you up!" I chirped excitedly.
"I'm just coming from the hospital and the doctor said that..." I wasn't able to finish my statement when Allen interrupted me.
"Sheila." Allen cut me off, his voice cold.
"Mhm?" I stopped speaking, wondering why he called me like that.
"If you won't go straight to the point, then I'll tell you mine. I have bad news for you."
"What?" I wondered what was coming next.
"We're getting divorced." Allen continued, avoiding my gaze. For a second I thought it was a prank.
"What? Divorce, what are you saying? Are you trying to act out a TV drama? You're so funny." I laughed at his words and was about to sit near him when he pushed himself off the chair and gestured toward the papers on the table. The big bold words written on the top of the paper almost gave me a heart attack.
"What's this? Why are you giving me divorce papers? What did I do wrong?" I asked, shaking. On the table were divorce papers, already signed by my beloved husband. His beautiful handwriting which I had so loved was on divorce papers that I was a recipient of.
"Don't you get it? I'm divorcing you, so you better sign those papers before I get back home." Allen said harshly, his narrowed eyes narrowing even further.
I stumbled, my legs giving out as I fell to the ground.
"But why? Why are you divorcing me? Shouldn't you at least tell me what I did wrong?" I queried, my eyes locking into his. A smirk rose on his lips, his eyes turned hateful.
"Because I never loved you." His answer was merely one sentence, but my heart shattered into different pieces.
"What?" My eyes were wide with shock, "You never... loved me? So... what have we been doing together all this while?"
My lips trembled, "You must be joking, if you didn't love me, then how come you got married to me? You were the one who proposed your love for me? You begged me to be with you, remember?!"
Allen let out a scary laugh that made me jerk in fear, "I remember nothing, Sheila. Do you know what I like the most about you? You are so naive, you believed everything I said and swallowed it hook line, and sinker. You never questioned my words, even though I wasn't a very good actor. You ignored all the red flags just because you were stupidly in love with me. Thankfully, it all worked out well and I was able to get married to you."
