Mag-log inKole's POVAs everyone started announcing that it was time to head over to the restaurant, I looked over at my beautiful wife, who was still fidgeting with her dress.I honestly didn't understand what the problem was.The dress looked gorgeous on her.Keisha walked over carrying baby Mabel and sighed."Do you think I should change?"I frowned."Why?"She looked down at herself."I mean... this was my wedding dress."I laughed."Babe, it's not really a wedding dress.""Yes it is.""No, it's a dress that you got married in. There's a difference."She chuckled."I know, but mentally it feels like I'm walking around in my wedding dress all day."I wrapped my arms around her waist."If you want to change, then change."She stared at me for a second before shaking her head."No. I'm gonna keep it on. It's cute."I grinned."Exactly."I leaned down and kissed her beautiful lips.I still couldn't believe this woman was my wife.My wife.Keisha Michaels.Damn.That sounded good.And she looked
Maya’s POV Monday morning after the wedding I sighed as I looked over at Shane, who looked completely flustered, but underneath all of that stress, there was relief there too. Real relief. Him and Maverick had officially gone and filed the divorce paperwork since we were at Daley Plaza. I reached over and grabbed his hand as we walked toward the cars outside of the courthouse. “You okay with the filing?” I asked softly. He let out a long breath before nodding. “Yeah. I’m okay with it. I can’t be anything but okay with it at this point.” I grabbed his face gently and gave him a quick kiss. “So… Perry’s Steakhouse?” He sighed and shook his head. “I can’t. I have to go pick up my kids from school. I promised them I’d pick them up every day this week. Since I filed the paperwork, I need to really stay committed to showing up. When we start dealing with judges and custody and all of that, I need everything to look right.” He rubbed the back of his neck tiredly. “Maverick actually
Shane’s POVAs I look over at Isla and my heart is pounding, I am beyond angry. When I say beyond angry, I am in the pits of hell angry. I just stare at her.For her to act out in front of our children.She literally picked up the glass that she knocked over full of alcohol that had spilled all over the garlic bread, refilled it with wine, and started drinking even more.The kids looked distraught.I clear my throat and look over at them. “Kids, take your plates and go into my room.”They hurry up and get up from the table, grabbing their plates as they walk away quietly.I look back over at my quote-unquote wife and say, “This is the last straw. Tomorrow I’m going down to the courthouse because I have to be there anyway. But I’m going early enough to make sure my petition for divorce is officially on file. I have been giving you chance after chance after chance to sign something. You haven’t signed anything. At the very least, I’m getting the separation papers filed.”She finishes dr
Isla’s POVAs I sat in my living room contemplating what the fuck was going to happen, I tried my best not to panic.Yes, it was Sunday, and my family should be home any minute.I did my best.I cleaned the house as much as I could. I made sure the kids’ rooms were spotless. I stayed out of Shane’s room because he notices when things are moved and he hates that shit. So I didn’t touch anything.Well…Except for changing the sheets.That, I did do.I made food that I could just throw in the oven later and tried to make everything feel… normal.Because I wanted my family back.I didn’t want to keep going through all these weird, manipulative ass measures just to hold onto my husband and my children.As soon as I stood up to see who was at the door, it suddenly burst open.My youngest daughter came running in screaming, “Mom! We’re here! We’re back!”I smiled instantly as Lily and Soph practically tackled me with hugs.“We had an amazing time!” Lily squealed.“Grandma got us business cla
Shane’s POVFlashback — Before the WeddingSunday MorningAfter a beautiful night with Maya at this little speakeasy, we went back to the hotel and actually just slept.We slept, slept.We snuggled together naked, of course, but we slept. We slept so damn good too. It was amazing.And I love this woman.I actually laid there watching her sleep for a long while before I finally drifted off myself.Once I woke up, on Sunday, I yawned and stretched before looking over at the clock. I knew my children’s flight landed at 1:30, so we still had a little time to go grab something to eat before I had to head to the airport.I grabbed my phone and checked the time.10 AM.So we had to be out of here by noon, which meant we still had time.I got up quietly and headed to the bathroom to handle my business. After I flushed, I heard the bathroom door open and Maya walked in yawning, in all her same naked glory.I just laughed.She frowned immediately.“What?”I shook my head and walked over to her
Kole’s POVMonday morning.I woke up to the all too familiar sound of someone vomiting their soul out.I groaned and rolled over, looking at the clock.5:15 AM.Jesus Christ.I sighed heavily because my wife-to-be was sick as hell again.Slowly climbing out of bed, I walked into the bathroom and found Keisha hugging the porcelain throne for dear life.I leaned against the doorway and rubbed my face.“Babe,” I said softly, “you want one of those tablets the doctor gave you?”She shook her head immediately.“No, because I’m just gonna throw them back up.”Then she groaned dramatically and rested her forehead against the toilet seat.“This shit is giving me the blues. Like what the fuck is going on?”I sighed sympathetically.“I don’t know, baby. Hopefully it eases up soon.”I walked into the kitchen and grabbed her a small glass of root beer, shaking it a little first so it wouldn’t be too fizzy.When I came back, she took it from me carefully and sipped it slowly.“I was gonna use the

Shane’s POVSitting across from Maya feels unreal, like I slipped into someone else’s life and forgot to check the mirror on the way in. She’s beautiful in that effortless, dangerous way. The kind of woman you don’t approach unless you’re prepared to have your whole equilibrium shaken, and here she
