I’m Done With His Games

Eliana's POVMy hands trembled as I gazed upon the picture on the phone. My husband, Calvin Franco, was exceptionally affectionate and fed a powdered sugar and blueberry pastry to the new model he hired in his company six months ago, Kylia Sinclair. It had been more than clear to me that she was his new sidepiece. I had known, seen the clues, caught the red flags... But— I kept ignoring them. Ignoring them and turning a blind eye because I thought... he loves me. He wouldn't dare be unfaithful. He wouldn't dare cheat on me, I am the love of his life. No! There is no way! Boy— was I wrong?The notification of Kylie's Instagram came as I sat at the reception of his office while I waited for him to come out so we could leave for his mother's house and celebrate the birth of his sister's new baby. Yes, Kylie was stupid and daring enough to send me a friend request, and I approved it. I approved it thinking she was a nice girl, a friendly girl like the rest of the supermodels he

I'm Getting A Divorce

Eliana's POVI stood up, fixing my summer dress, and sighed. I slowly made my way toward the reception, trying not to throw my phone out the window.With the millions I make daily, I took risks in the past, secretly investing in Calvin's company, making it rise from nothing to riches in record time. He never knew I was a private investor in his company, but I bet he'll be surprised when he finds out.I never told him about the company out of fear that he would feel inferior. I cared about him, placed him on a pedestal, and allowed my world to revolve predominantly around him and all his demands.Calvin thinks that my girl trips with friends were simply 'spoiled wives' vacations'.In reality, I was constantly traveling, finding investors, quality creators, the best in the world, and in our nation, making a living for myself... hoping to find the guts one day to tell him of all my achievements.I'd daydream of how excited and happy he would be to learn I wasn't just a spoiled stay-at-

First Things First

First things first. After I recorded my dear husband getting a blow job from his side piece, I saved it, sent it to myself in an encrypted email, and then sent it to my lawyer, Shannon. It wasn't long before she called back, furious, and ready to leave the office, wanting to burn down his office for me."No need. We'll do as you said. Get him in court. I trust you'll leave him with nothing." "Damn right! How dare he?" She was angry. Angrier than me.Actually... I was done being angry.I needed to think clearly, no emotions or anger involved."Look, let's just continue with our plans for the night. Let's meet up with the girls. I need to forget everything that is happening now, and get drunk!" I said as I began to walk out of his office.The receptionists in his office were returning. One, giving me a side look, the other one scuffed, rolling her eyes. Both are holding a hot cup of coffee."Good ridence." She says flipping her hair."I'm all for it. We haven't hung out in so lon

Something Feels Off

Something Feels OffCalvin's office was always his private sanctuary. He knew perfectly well that no one was allowed to enter without his permission. No one... not even his personal assistant. Not even I dared interrupt him in the past. Even though he had to me in the past that I never had to check in with the reception, to come and go as I pleased... not once had I dared barge into his office like she had today.But I was glad he had taken the initiative to give it to her. And I was glad she had gotten comfortable enough to blow his dick today, while knowing there were people outside his office.I was even more glad she had left his door ajar, giving me the perfect evidence of his affair.Whether she did it out of lust, for the thrill, or to purposely provoke me. It didn't matter, because this was giving me evidence, leverage to make our divorce a faster process. "Thank you, Calvin. This is my new ticket for my divorce, and final departure from you." I said as I smirked.I gla

Girls Having Fun

(Third Person POV)"Why isn't Eliana with you, Calvin? She is your wife. Why in the world did you have to bring your... mistress? You can't keep bringing Kylie with you to every family event. Do you have any idea what this can do to the family?" Sarah, Calvin's mom says.Though she whispered, you could hear the anger in her voice as she threw daggers with her gaze at Kylie who smiled, smuggling."Mom, how many times do I have to repeat myself? Nothing is going on between Kylie and me. I couldn't come by myself, that's why I brought her." "No. That's why you had to bring your wife. Not this... hussy!" Sarah says, pointing discreetly at Kylie."I told you, my wife is at home. She didn't feel well, so she stayed home." Calvin says nonchalantly. "Oh... how convenient, isn't it?" Sara adds, making Calvin puff his cheeks frustratingly, running his hand through his wavy hair."Calvin, it's obvious your mom is uncomfortable with me here. Maybe I should go. I don't want to inconvenience anyo

Handsome Devil

Brooks smiled softly and his smile only grew brighter the second he saw me.His presence, like every room he ever walked into, attracted eyes from every corner.Women of every age admired him from head to toe. But let's be honest... if you were here in the room with us, you'd be drooling over him too.And why wouldn't we? I mean they...they! not me. I don't drool over him, I swear.Sigh—He was undeniably a handsome—handsome? No! What am I talking about? He's hot, ok?He's hot as fuck, there... I admit it.Sigh— if you could only picture him in your head you'd understand me.Brooks is tall like a damn tree.Which is why he makes fun of me and my posture because I'm way shorter than he is by a whole damn foot. I used to be taller than him when we were kids, and I would taunt him, calling him Peewee.But— There was a summer when we both left our town on vacation. He left for Cancun, to spend the summer with his grandma, and I left for Tequila to visit my grandparents. And yes, ther

It Will All Be Ok

Eliana's POV I glanced at Brooks. His eyes were a mixture of worry and anger. What am I supposed to say? Yeah, you were right Brooks, I messed up. I picked the wrong guy! I should have listened! Sigh— but it wasn't that easy. Deep down, whether I wanted to admit it or not... Calvin's betrayal, his affair, and the broken promise we made at the altar still hurt. And it hurt deeply. I only pretended to be strong and put on a false mask of being okay. And with that thought... it finally hit me again. The feeling of loneliness. The feeling of betrayal. All the hurt, the resentment, and anger that had been building inside of me since the first sign of his affair finally caught up. I felt the bitter and painful knot building in my throat. My chest is tightening with the sense of having failed to keep the man I loved... to keep his interest in me. My tears stung as they welled up in my eyes, blurring my vision. Brooks' eyes went from an angry scowl to worry. He loosened h

That Reminds Me

Eliana's POV So I let loose. For the first time in a very... very long time, I allowed myself to pàrty with my friends.I partied all night, taking a drink now and then. Not too much!Brooks wouldn't let me. He was acting like the protective big brother– as always!Either way, I. Let. Loose!For the first time in a long time, I felt like dancing and partying away as if there was no tomorrow. But don't worry– Brooks stayed by my side the entire night, making sure I didn't do anything bizarre or utterly stupid to make me regret it later. It reminded me of my high school years when he and I would attend school dances together.I never wanted to attend with any other boy but him. Not because any other guy didn't ask– plenty of guys in town asked me to be their date, but I always turned them down.As a teenager... I only had eyes for Brooks, even though I knew we could never be.As always– Brooks scared away guys who approached me. He was still the protective man type, just like when w

No Shame

Ellie's POVI stumbled my way inside my home. The double doors seemed heavier tonight. Or perhaps it's just that I am far too tired, too drunk, and feeling my body heavy from the long night of drinking.I grunted, as I leaned closer against the door and pushed it open.One of the younger house maids, Daniela, rushed over, holding my hand as she saw me dragging my feet inside."My lady. You're finally home." She says as she helps me to the couch, and takes my purse, placing it on the coffee table next to the sofa."Daniela, my feet are aching. I think I drank a little too much." I said as I slumped my body, closing my eyes as I grabbed one of the small pillows and placed it under my head.Daniela chuckles, grabbing one of the fleece throws, placing it over me, and sighing."I'm just glad you're home safe, ma'am. By the way-" she says, changing her tone to a bit of concern as she looks towards the stairs."Ma'am... is... everything alright between you and... Mr. Calvin?" she asks, maki

I’m Still Mrs. Franco

Eliana's POVBrooks didn't say another word.He sat quietly in the car beside me, listening as I vented my anger.When I was finally done, exhausted, and feeling utterly drained, he gripped the steering wheel tightly, clenched his jaw, and let out a sigh."What do you plan on doing? I mean, do you plan on divorcing him, as you said, or... are you going to forgive him for this again?" he asked, making me look up."Of course I am. I am done, Brooks. I've been trying my hardest to look the other way, to make things work, to catch his attention and do things right, be the stupid submissive wife, but I just... can't!""I understand. You know I'm here for you, right, doll? I won't leave you," he says, making my heart warm a little."Brooks... I'm sorry I kept you up. I know you have a plane to catch, and I shouldn't have kept you away for so long, I just-""Stop it. You're my best friend, Ellie. The plane can wait. Besides, Grandma would be mad if she found out I took off and left you like
