His Ex Wife

The drive back home to Yvonne’s home had been a quiet one, she was not really able to digest what she had come across today. Scott was still in love with someone else, someone who had destroyed her marriage, it was not Anna, it was the girl he had mentioned today, Mariella.

Mariella how dare you…she thought bitterly to herself, barely able to control her anger.

Scott halted the car right in front of her doorstep. She looked at him one last time, his stoic face and heartless eyes were fixed to the road and he waited for her to get out of the car. This time she did want revenge. More than ever before.

He really had destroyed her life, time and herself. She wanted to make Scott Anderson realize how much of emotional commitment it took to love someone, to put that person above everyone else, to dedicate your life so loyally and blindly to someone who just did not care about you the same way, someone who was just testing you out like you were a trial product!

It inflated her anger but she did her best to compose every bit of her and placed her hand on to his pretty reassuringly and said softly, concealing all her anger to herself, “Scott, the past lies behind us, but today you need is a friend more than a lover and even though you never loved me, I did. With all my heart and my love was enough for both of us. Probably always will be…I’ll be there for you if you need me…”

Yvonne gently tapped his hand that was placed on the staring wheel, she felt his hand loosen on the wheel but nothing more than that, his face did not give away a single thing he was feeling at this time. Giving up, she got out of the car and closed the door behind her.

She was sick of him and now, with her back against the car and Scott, she was standing on her own feet yet the ground did not feel stable beneath her feet and she felt numb inside- lying did not make her feel good but her anger found ways to justify her lies.

A man like Scott deserved nothing but lies, just what he had given her, her ego reminded her.

as soon as she got in. A few moments after closing the door, she heard the car’s engine rumble and speed away. Internally she felt as if Scott had been indecisive to leave at all, they had been married for 3 years, that

he had mentioned Mariella in front of Yvonne, he had wanted not to do so in the first place because he knew that the mention of her name would not mend any things now, yet when he thought about his first love, his tongue went beyond his control.
