Claimed By My Ex Husband

“Let’s Divorce.” Cold. Ruthless. There was no emotion in his eyes when he said those painful words to me.

The tears that were forming in my eyes fell helplessly. I was silent. I was weak. My heart was fragile and breakable, yet he still had the guts to tear my worth apart.

My lips trembled when he slid the papers on the table towards me. When I saw his signature clearly, my heart cracked in an instant. I felt like it was bleeding inside my chest.

His shadow towered me when he stood up. “I already called your dad about this, so you don’t need to worry about his reaction.” His voice was deep and cold.

I watched how he looked at his watch without even glancing at me.

“After signing the papers, you can put it inside my drawer. You can ask Sebastian to drive you back to the Daño’s mansion if you want to.” His eyes were unbothered. “I’ll be going now.”

I waited for the door to close before my broken voice escaped from my pale lips. It hurts. It fucking hurts! My sight becomes blurry as my tears rapidly fell.

For three years of agony, this was the very moment where my limit couldn’t hold on anymore. I love him. I always love him no matter how cold he was to me. I didn’t care if his grey eyes wouldn’t land on mine, or his treatment was a bit unpleasant. I was contented with his four words everyday.

The words ‘I’ll be going now’ was so felicitous for my ears before, but now it shattered me.

I picked up the pen and slowly signed it while whimpering. I didn’t know if my signature was in the right place because I couldn’t see the papers anymore due to my tears. I could even feel the papers becoming wet.

How? How did our happy marriage becomes broken? How did our love turned to coldness? It wasn’t like this! This was not what I wanted.

After crying for an hour, I rushed to my car and drove to where my mind would take me. I was driving for thirty minutes when I reached the place full of memories. After parking, I went out to feel the cold breeze.

The sun was setting beautifully but not like the old times, I witnessed it alone. Without him. Without his warmth. I was all alone, broken, in pain.

There was no other woman. He didn’t cheat. He explained what was his reason but it made me feel more helpless.

“I’m sorry, I fell out of love.” Funny right?

He said that he woke up one day, realizing that he doesn’t love me anymore. He made me feel like it was just a simple case. He didn’t even care about how I feel. He simply wanted to cut our ties apart.

“Princess…”

I turned around to see who owned the familiar voice. Watching my dad, with pity in her eyes made me want to end my life so bad.

He hugged me gently and caressed my back while I was crying so hard. “It’s ok my princess. Everything’s going to be alright.” His voice was soothing.

“W-why dad? What did I do to d-deserve this? Y-you know that I was a g-good wife. He knew that I l-love him so m-much.” I was stammering while saying those words.

“Hush now princess. Daddy’s here, you’ll be fine.” He then guided me to stand up because my dress was full of sand. “I know how much you love him. I also know that he did love you. Maybe fate has a better plan for the both of you.”

“Let’s go to the Villa first, your mom and brothers are waiting for you.” He tenderly said before I nodded.
