Falling For The Man I Married

Madi's POV:

"I couldn't get a new business permit!" I said annoyed, throwing my bag on the couch.

"But why? You have already completed all the necessary documents. Have you forgotten something... your Id?" Noelle asked and sat down next to me.

"Huh! That fucking Id!" I cursed loudly and sighed harshly.

"Why? What happened with your Ids?"

"My name didn't match with the name listed in their system! Because according to them, I'm married to Gabriel and still married until now!"

"Gosh! How does that happen? I thought you already gave him the divorce papers before? What happened?"

"I don't know. All my Ids' name is Davis! And didn't even change my last name to Wilsons' even though I was married to him! That's why I was so shocked when they told me they can't process my papers unless I present them an ID with a Wilsons name on it!" 

I brushed my hair out of frustration

"I'm so annoyed right now and I want to kill! I want to kill that annoying Gabriel Wilsons! Argh! This is the first time I can't process my papers in just one day and that I have to go back to present an Id which I don't have! My goodness!"

I sighed and waited for her to say anything but I heard none, so I looked at her only to find her grinning.

"And what's with that grin?" 

"Nothing!" she shrugged. "I just remember three years ago, you came here crying your heart out because you're in pain and no matter what we tell you to leave Gabriel, you're just saying 'you can't' because you love him. But look at you now! You're annoyed and you can kill him just by your sharp words! Tsk.Tsk.Tsk. I'm proud of you, Madi." she said seriously.

I smiled as I shifted my seat next to her and hugged her tightly.

"Thank you, Noelle," I said as my arms wrapped around her neck.

"For what?" she asked, patting my back.

"For being my friend, my supporter and for everything."

"Of course. What are friends are for?" and I hugged her more. "By the way, what's your plan right now? What are you going to do with your 'Not-ex-husband'?"

"Huh! I'll cut his balls off!" I said firmly and she chuckled at me.

"Wow! Look what heartbreak did to you! Are you still the Madi, the naive and 'virgin' friend of mine?"

I playfully glared at her. "Of course! Silly!"

"Seriously, what are you planning to do? You don't have an Id with Wilsons as a last name. Is there any other way?"

"Yeah, talk to the 'devil' and make him sign an authorization letter, that Madielyn Davis and Madielyn Wilsons are just the same!" I emphasized the word devil just to earn another laugh from her.

"Nice! I really like the new version of you! Bolder and fiercer! Keep it up!"

"Of course, I've learned my lesson!" I proudly stated.

"Tsk.Tsk.Tsk. Yeah, I believe you, my friend. What did you always call him before----handsome Greek God? But time had changed because he's now a 'devil' to you...your 'handsome devil. Amen!"
