A month later…..
Olivia's P.O.V
I was able to get myself together and even launched a series which was blowing up the internet.
I was proud of myself but wasn't happy.
I needed to do this once and for all. Making a silent prayer, I got into the car and headed straight to my "old house".
I rang the doorbell a few time, Leon opened the door and was shocked to see me.
Olivia… Are you-… Don't get the wrong idea Leon, I came here for something different.
I came here today because I think it will be inappropriate if my lawyer came. He seemed confused.
What are you talking about, what lawyer? He asked nervously. I brought out a file from my bag.
Here are the divorce papers, I already signed my part. All that's left is your signature.
You really don't want to see me again? he asked. What do you mean by that, of course we may be friends, I said.
I won't sign this. I can't leave you, ever.
Then why didn't you think about that before sleeping with her?
Leon, I already wasted three years of my life with you. Do you want me to waste my entire life in this marriage? He didn't say anything.
Plus, I don't want your money. All you have to do is sign the papers.
Oh right, I should give you this too, I said and placed our wedding ring on the table. Olivia, I know what I did was unforgivable, but….
But what?! The times I needed you the most, you were never around. I didn't say anything, cause I wanted to be an understanding wife.
But you cheated on me not once but twice. You think I'll ever forget that? And as if that wasn't enough. I lost my child and almost lost my life too. The memory will forever haunt me.
Just sign the papers please. Don't make this harder than it already is, I pleaded.
At least let me explain myself, he said. Okay go ahead but nothing can change my mind.
The first one with Julie was a mistake, but this one… she said she won't bother me again if I agreed and that's why I did it, please believe me Olivia.
Mistake or not. I don't care. I want to end this marriage, I said. Staying with you will only bring back painful memories. I can't stay in this marriage.
A tear slip down my cheek as he signed the papers.
Maybe in the next life, if we meet again fate wouldn't be so cruel to us.
Why is this still here? I pointed to our wedding picture on the wall. Pushing it off, it smashed to pieces ripping the photo.
Hopefully this will be the last time I step into this house.
I divorced you not because of your affair…..I realized we aren't meant for each other, the longer we stay together, the more pain we cause for ourselves.
"Goodbye Leon", I said. He looked away, wiping his face.
I quickly left, not wanting to say more.
