Chapter 2 DIVORCE

"Claire, are you saying that Reed has never used his influence to help you in your career? But he was the lead actor in your first script. You would not have gained recognition without that. Don't you think that it's a bit too much to claim that you have everything now because you deserve it?"

"Reed, you and Claire have been together for so long, don't you feel bad to hear her claim that everything is as a result of her own hard work?"

Claire was planning to ignore all of the reporters but Reed was having none of it.

He purposely stopped in front of the reporter who asked the last question. He looked the man in the eye.

"No. I don't feel bad. Because all of that is true. Claire is a great writer. She's simply getting the recognition that she deserves late. What is wrong with that?" Reed asked.

The reporters immediately went quiet after that. Since the person involved doesn't think that there's anything wrong, then who are they to complain?

Just then, a large RV van pulled up in front of them and a few bodyguards came out of it.

They blocked Reed and Claire from the reporters and guarded them into the car.

......

"What is the meaning of this?" Diana looked at Trevor, her husband of five years with shock evident in her eyes.

"You know very well, we already talked about it. We are getting a divorce. I can't continue this with you" Trevor said. There was a deep coldness in his eyes. But beneath all of that coldness, was relieve.

After five years, he is finally going to be free.

It's just....she won't need him anymore after all this time right ?

"And I already told you that I won't get a divorce! I don't want to get a divorce from you! I apologized! It was a mistake! It will never happen again!" Diana said.

She had given up a lot just to get married to Trevor five years ago. She had even used her life as a bargaining chip. How can she be willing to get a divorce from him now?

"I don't care about any of that Diana. When we got married, I told you. Don't give me a reason to divorce you. Because I will take it. And I will use it to the fullest. Now sign these papers and stop making a fuss. You don't want to wake Amelia up!" Diana said.

Diana calmed down a lot when she thought of thier daughter Amelia. No matter what, they still have a daughter together.

For the sake of the four year old Amelia, can't he just forgive her this time?

"Trevor...I'm really sorry. I'm really sorry....I never meant for things to get to this. I'm Amelia's mother! She's just four year old. She needs a mother in her life. For Amelia's sake, Please forgive me once!" Diana begged.

She definitely can't divorce Trevor!

All of her friends are going to laugh at her! And her family....they will never accept her if she doesn't have Trevor as her husband!

Worse....won't he just be going back to that woman if the both of them are not together? She will never allow that to happen!

"Don't even think about using Amelia to threaten me! You already used her when we got married back then! Don't think that you can use her this time! Besides, if you really cared about Amelia, you won't have done the things that you've done! Do you even seriously care about Amelia?! Do you act the way a mother should?! Just last week, I was unable to pick her up from preschool! I asked you to go pick her up and what did you do?! You forgot about her and went shopping with your friends!" Trevor said.

He didn't want to stay married to Diana any longer . This woman had completely ruined him five years ago.

Now that he has to chance to leave her, he will certainly take it!

The only person who has kept him going all these years is his daughter. He definitely won't let Diana stick around the both of them too much just so she can end up hurting Amelia some day.

"Trevor! Ultimately, this is just an excuse right?! You just want to divorce me! You just want to go back to her! But have you ever thought...will she even want you back if you go back to her like this?! She probably doesn't even want to see you! Why do you want to break up our happy family just for her?! When she doesn't even want you?!" Diana yelled.

She was slowly breaking down. After working hard for five years, she's just going to lose Trevor again?!

"Do you really think that we are happy family?! Besides you Diana, who's actually happy in this family?! Is it Amelia who's had to deal with the rejection from her mother since she was born or is it me who was forced into this marriage myself?! Who is actually happy?! Diana, the only person you've actually really cared about is yourself! You don't care about what happens to anyone else! Including your daughter! How can a mother be so selfish?! How can a person be so so selfish?" Trevor asked.

Diana finally realized that this was the end for her. Trevor doesn't even want to put on the pretense of being a happy couple with her anymore. He wants to end things with her......

The both of them went quiet for a few seconds.

They heard the announcement on television.

"Today, at the National Film Awards, Script writer Claire Hampton had won the best script award. However, she had said that it's all because of her hard work. Fans are divided, some think that she is right and some think that she owes everything to her fiance Reed Hathaway...... "

Diana quickly took the remote and turned off the television.

"Is this it? The reason you want the divorce so badly? Do you think that she will be willing to go back to you? You heard it just now. She's already moved on. She already has a fiance now! She doesn't need you!" Diana said.
