Husband you've abandoned me Fine I'll focus on raising my son novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40: I won’t be needing this

As I lay on my bed I played around with the ring on my finger twiddling it back and forth as I reminisced my wedding day. I remembered how I had accepted his terms and from then on we proceeded to have a very pleasant marriage. It was a marriage I had prayed for, one where I didn’t have to fear my husband. I remembered my mothers wish for me before she died which was for me to find happiness. I thought it had come true.

Before things used to be good. Dare I say I enjoyed my marriage with Keith before Diana showed up. Though were no romantic feelings between us but I thought it was ten times better than having an abusive husband. We were best friends working together to raise our son and I think we did a really good job.

How quickly things change though. I never imagined seven years later everything would be completely ruined. After a while of twiddling the ring around, I finally removed it from my finger. I wouldn’t be needing it anymore would I? I thought to myself. In my past life I only removed it after the divorce. I was set to meet the divorce lawyer this weekend. I placed it on my bedside table. It was quite expensive I’m sure it would fetch me a pretty penny if I sold it in future.

Just a little while longer I said to myself. My phone then suddenly pinged the message notification sound. I reached over to my bedside table where it was and saw it was a message from...Louis. My eyes widened in surprise as I remembered we’d exchanged numbers.

Hey how have you been? Just checking in on you since I haven’t spoken to you since that day. The message read.

I smiled at the message.

Thanks, I’m doing fine. And you? I responded.

After waiting a few moments I got a response.

Been drowning in work all week. He replied.

Life of a CEO must be hard. Sorry to hear that. I texted back.

How are you faring at the restaurant?

I texted him for a little while and I went to bed. It was funny how in my past life I never once spoke or saw Louis again after I was married but now in this life one small decision to work for that restaurant had reunited us.

That night I dreamt of my mother.

****************

I stared in disappointment at the report of blood tests results that I held in my hands.

All the diseases they tested me for came back negative. I also had them check my internal organs for anything since they all failed when I died. The report said all was fine.

I looked at the second report of my MRI results which was underneath. The results were clean. There was nothing out of the ordinary. I was perfectly healthy.

I let out a sigh of disappointment. Looks like I was still fine at this stage of my life.
