You Belong To Me Ex Wife

Feeling drained from the day’s work, Lisa dropped herself onto the couch in the living room for a quick nap. She has left work 2 hours early to arrange a candlelit dinner to celebrate today being 6 months of her marriage. She was awakened by the sound of the door being opened a few minutes later.

She immediately sat up upon smelling the familiar scent of her husband’s cologne infiltrating the air. She stood up and straightened her blue-fitted peplum knee-length dress and happily walked over to welcome him.


“How was your day?” She inquired with a smiling face. Yet, Trey ignored and walked past her taking his seat on the couch. Lisa disregarded his demeanor and the pang of pain in her chest, a pain she’d now become accustomed to. She smiled to lighten up her mood and walked to the living room, stopping right in front of him.


“Are you al….” She trailed off when he handed her a brown envelope and then said.
 “Sign it.” His voice was deadly, it sent a chill down her spine, he had never spoken to her in such a cold tone, she thought.


“What is it?” She asked.


“Divorce papers.” Immediately the word left his mouth Lisa buckled taking a step backward. Surprise evident on her face.


“Wh…at?” She stuttered inaudibly. She wasn’t expecting it. Even though their marriage was not the lovey-dovey type, it wasn’t bad enough for her to receive divorce papers from her husband right?


“Yes Lisa, I want a divorce, we never should have gotten married, I’m sick! and tired of you!!.” he yelled angrily getting up and furiously kicking the center table making Lisa flinch. His words were like daggers piercing her heart. They’ve been in love with each other since childhood, even though they got separated when her family moved from the city. She never stopped loving him.

After meeting ten years later their love rekindled and they got back together, getting married one month after their reunion with today being six months of their marriage.
 “Trey.., please,” her voice choked. “I love you, I can’t live without you… this a prank? Right?” she said with trembling lips, but with a hint of hope still lace in her voice. “Today is exactly six months of our marriage. I’ve made arrangements to celebrate with you. please, tell me it's all a joke.. please!!” She raised her voice. She reached out her hands for Trey’s, but he pulled away from her touch. 


“I can’t keep lying to myself for your sake, just sign the damn thing to save ourselves from this misery,” Trey said coldly. “I want you out of my life, Lisa!” 


“Trey please, you can’t do this to me, you’re breaking my heart, please! if there’s anything I’m lacking please tell me, and I will change for you…, but please don’t leave me, I love you… so much, please, Trey?” Lisa kept pleading with her husband. She initially thought he was joking, but from the look on his face, he was dead serious, he was really asking her for a divorce.


“But I don’t love you, Lisa, I never did. Even when we had sex, I felt nothing,” He said nonchalantly. 


“What? Sex? Trey..? I gave you my first, we made love just two nights ago?” she questioned. Trey closed the gap between them, his blue eyes a shade darker than usual as they pierced directly into Lisa’s brown ones.

‘Damn! Those fucking alluring eyes, the more he stares at them, the more his hunger for her intensifies, fuck I have to let her go, I hate her.’ He thought as he reached his hand to her waist pulling her closer to his tall and muscular frame. Lisa looked away nervously. Trey tilted her head to meet his lustful? gaze and slammed his lips against hers in a dominating kiss.

Lisa stood dazedly at the turn of events. She didn’t respond to it, as the kiss became so intense that she couldn’t breathe, she pushed Trey on the chest since she was running out of breath, but he didn’t waver, she pushed harder with all the strength she could muster causing him to break the kiss, finally….. Lisa heaved.

Trey groaned and swallowed, then wiped his lips with his palm fiercely. ‘Damn it!, he would have lost it, if she hadn’t pushed him. Fuck! He’s spotting a hard-on already, he needs to leave, before he totally loses it.’ He thought.


“Just like now, It was out of convenience.” He said blankly. But Lisa shook her head unable to accept what Trey said was true. Grabbing his suit and keys, he said hoarsely. 
“I’m going to the old mansion, I can’t stay in the same space with you, you disgust me, you should have that…” pointing to the brown envelope that dropped from Lisa’s hand to the floor due to his intense kiss and added. “signed before I come back, you have a week,” he said turning to leave. 
“No!, Please.” Lisa kneeled in front of him, wrapped her arms around his knee, and begged. “Please, don’t go, I will be a good wife okay?” He forced himself away from her, making his way out, but paused when she started to speak.


“I won’t sign it, I will make you change your mind, you love me, Trey, please stay, don’t go,” he chuckled at her words, then walked out the door.

Lisa didn’t know how long she had been kneeling for. But just when she tried to stand up, she felt dizzy all of a sudden and fainted. The last thing she heard was the calling of her name by their house help. 



-/Next morning /-



Lisa abruptly sat up in bed, her heart beating faster. She ran a shaking hand through her hair and squeezed her eyes shut, feeling pain from the argument she had with her husband earlier overwhelmed her heart.
 I’m going to make him stay.

Trey loves me, since I haven’t seen him with any other woman and he didn’t say he’s in love with another, there’s a chance. She sat at the edge of the bed, made a call to her workplace, and requested a week off. After the call, she checked the time and it was 7:30 am. Then she recalled having fainted last night from crying and kneeling for a long time.


She went through her morning routines and went down to grab breakfast. Upon reaching down, she saw the maids avoid eye contact with her, ‘they must have witnessed their argument from last night.’ She smiled and sat at the dining table for her breakfast. 


Lisa Lynn was the only child of her parents. She lost her parents in a gory accident at the age of six. And was taken into the care of her uncle and his wife. They also had a six-year-old daughter. Life was hell, living with her uncle’s family. Her aunt and cousin did not miss the opportunity to make her life miserable.

That was how she met Trey. He was a chubby cute boy who used to follow her around in the neighborhood. She used to avoid him but eventually stopped when she saw Trey being bullied by her cousin for being a fat boy. Lisa and Trey became friends after that and it led to something more.

As they grew up, Trey became slimmer, becoming the most handsome and popular boy in school, and Lisa the prettiest girl. But at a point, he started avoiding her, she wanted to ask him why he was doing that, but before she could, her uncle got transferred and they moved.

She didn’t see Trey again until they met ten years later at the hospital where she worked when Trey had an accident. She didn’t see him again after he got discharged. However, a month later, he came and asked her to marry him out of the blue and she happily agreed. She never imagined he would ask for a divorce after six months of their marriage.


After having her breakfast, she decided to start her plan to win her husband over. She dialed her husband's secretary and inquired about his schedule for the day.


“Hi, Lucy. Good morning” she greeted. 
“Good morning, madam,'' the secretary responded in her professional tone.


“I want to know your boss's schedule for today.” She requested.


“Madam, the boss canceled all his appointments till the afternoon, to plan a surprise for you at Leisureq 5-star hotel.”
