After Divorce, I Found Love Within the Walls of your Family

Rose's POV

“Adrian.”

That was the first thing that came out of my mouth the moment I opened the door but he paid me no attention.

I already knew he was cheating. This wasn't the first time I had caught him with another woman. But somehow, seeing him bring one into our bedroom felt different.

I stepped inside and closed the door behind me. “Adrian, why is there another lady here ?”

He slowly turned to look at me, disgust written all over his face and then he scoffed. “Get out of here, Rose.”

I stared at him. “No.” His eyebrows pulled together.

“What?”

“I said no.” For a moment, neither of us spoke, as we shot each other a fierce look, The woman lying on my bed pulled his face back toward hers, deliberately ignoring me.

I watched her for a few seconds before looking at Adrian again. “Get her out of my bed.”

Adrian laughed.“You're giving me orders now?”

“I'm telling you to have some respect for the home we share.”

“You're making a big deal out of nothing.”

I glanced at the woman beside him. “You've cheated on me enough times for me to know exactly what you're doing. But bringing her here? Into our bedroom?” I shook my head. “You've finally managed to surprise me.”

The woman smiled. “I don't know you stood there watching,” she said. “But I guess you needed to learn how to please a man.”

I looked at her. “Did Adrian hire you as his spokesperson, or do you always speak when nobody asked you to?” Her smile disappeared and Adrian's expression hardened. “Watch your mouth.”

I turned toward him. “Why? Because I'm finally saying what I think?” He scoffed.

“What gives you the right to complain about what I do”

“And what gives you the right to disrespect me.” That shut him up for a second and I folded my arms.

“You have grown wings, don’t act stupid in front of my guest or else you will not like what is coming..” Adrian said as he reached for a towel. He wrapped the towel around his waist and walked toward the bathroom but I didn't move.

“Five years, Adrian.” He stopped. “I've spent five years making excuses for you. I told myself you were stressed. I told myself your work was getting to you. I convinced myself that eventually you'd remember the man I married.” He turned around.

“And whose fault is it that you could not keep your husband hun?” The question caught me off guard.

But instead of answering immediately, I looked at him carefully.

“You're right.” I whispered “ I apologize for making it get to this point before I reacted.” His eyebrows lifted so I continued. “Staying was my choice, and leaving will be my choice too.” His expression changed slightly then he laughed.

“You're not going anywhere rose and you know that right” I smiled bitterly “You seem very confident.”

“Because you rose don’t have anyone who would do what I do for you, I am the only reason why you are healthy and living a good life.” He said

I shook my head. “You really dnt know anything about me Adrian.” He stared at me then he came closer.

“Don't try to threaten me.”

“I'm not threatening you.” I looked him directly in the eyes. “I'm warning you.” He laughed again.

"Listen, Rose." He sighed impatiently. "I don't have time for this." Then he looked at Adriana. "Ann, go downstairs. I'll be there in a minute." She was already dressed.

Her heels clicked against the marble floor as she walked toward me then she stopped right in front of me, her eyes slowly scanning me like I was nothing but trash and she smiled. "Don't worry, Mrs. Carter." She leaned closer. "I'll do your job much better." She said and I smirk folding my hand around my chest of course you should I mean this is the only way to survive right and if you don’t treat them well you don’t get paid so yeah do the job you are being paid for I said and instantly her face went pale as she deliberately bumped my shoulder before walking away.

"We would talk about this crazy attitude of yours when I get back.” Picking up his car keys. “oh... and clean up this mess." He gave me one last glance before walking out.

A few seconds later, I heard both of them laughing downstairs. "Do you think she'll do something stupid?" Adriana asked.

Adrian laughed. "No way. I'm all she has in this world. Besides, nobody would want a woman this useless."

The front door closed and I let out a slow breath. Not from exhaustion but because that was the last straw.

I looked at the ruined bed.

Then I reached into my purse, pulled out my phone, and dialed a number.

"Hello, ma'am. Good evening," a familiar voice answered.

"Prepare the divorce papers," I said. "I want them down here before the end of today."

"Yes, ma'am. Who are the papers for?"

My eyes drifted to the large framed picture hanging on the wall, a picture of Adrian and I smiling.

I stared at it for a long moment before answering.

"I'm getting a divorce."
