Chapter 1
"Molly you really need to get out more and meet new people. It's not healthy for a 30yr woman to find comfort in her cats and books." Molly's sister Susie told her one afternoon while she was visiting. She was worried so much because the divorce and humiliation from it had almost killed her sister; who used to be so full of life.
"I am fine really sis, and I do have Evan; remember you favorite nephew to keep me company. As far as I am concerned he is the only man I want in my life. And I am not that much of a hermit I did go to a concert last week." I defended myself and I looked out the window and saw a moving van going into the vacant house beside mine.
"You went to Doodlebops concert and your date was your two year old. And speaking of my favorite nephew where he is?" Susie scanned the perfectly clean house. Envious that no matter what the occasion there seemed to be no clutter. Susie loved her sister and nephew more than anything that is why she made the weekly trip up to see them no matter what. After losing their parents when they were teens and the struggles they have faced in the 15yrs since.
"Well its Miles turn to have him, which is a first because for the last 6months he hasn't even seen him always one excuse after another and if it wasn't for the courts I wouldn't let him see him at all." I pace the kitchen or else I would break something.
I know I sound vicious it's just that I thought my life was all sunshine and roses but it turned into dark skies and thorns. I was 21 when I thought I met the man of my dreams. I was working in a coffee shop when in walked a man who I knew was older than me but he had such an impact on me that I couldn't do anything but stare. It seemed that I had the same impact on him and that is where the whirlwind courtship began. Not having much experience with men I soaked up all the compliments and attention not realizing how much of a narcissist he really was. Now looking back I saw myself become what he thought would be the perfect girlfriend and then the perfect wife. We were married after 3months of courtship. And what a wedding it was. He is society man, a lawyer at a prestige law firm and came from money to begin with. His parents were not thrilled with me as a bride as I didn't come from money or had anywhere close to blue blood.
So after the wedding, for me it seemed like a nonstop honeymoon. He bought me whatever I pleased as long as he approved of it. I was so much in love I didn't care but my sister was really worried but with that created tension between my then husband and sister and of course I took his side because I had the rose colored glasses on and didn't want anything nasty touching my happiness I cut my sister out of my life and continued to live in the bubble for the next year.
The day my life started to change was when I found out I was pregnant. I was over the moon. I mean I was having what I thought was my true love's baby. I made an amazing dinner, did the whole candle thing and told him and when I thought he would jump out of the chair and gather me into his arms but your only words we "you have to be kidding". He was outraged and angry and for the first time I saw the real him where the world is supposed to revolve only around him. He apologized the next day and I forgave thinking this would end but it became worse as the pregnancy went along. The bigger I grew the later he stayed at work and the less I was shown in public. His parents never came over or should I say rarely did. I just retreated more and more into a shell that was my former self.
When Evan was born I was alone. I was too scared to call my sister. Miles never even came until the next morning where he was proud to at least have a son. He took us home. I tried to make everything better by losing the baby weight and more, to be more sexual in bed but nothing seemed to get through. Then when Evan was about 10month old I was reading the paper and saw Miles with his secretary in the Who's Who section and they were more than just friends. It was then that everything crashed down and I went a little crazy. First I cried and then screamed and then took Evan put him in his crib and proceeded to break everything that I knew meant so much to Miles realizing that I was such a fool for believing all the late nights. Each thing that broke lifted me up just a little. After my tirade I packed up my stuff and Evan's bag and made the hardest phone call I ever had to make; to my sister.
That was over a year ago. My sister was amazing she took us in no questions asked and all was forgiven. The first couple months were the worst in my life. It seems that Miles doesn't like not being in control of happens in his life. First he tried to apologize to me and such but I wouldn't hear of it so I went to the lawyer and started the proceedings. I should have known how much hassle that would be. Miles tried to fight me at every stop and the only thing I came with out of in the end was the clothes on my back and my son. I discovered that the papers I willingly signed when I so much in love was an iron clad pre nup. I had to borrow money from my sister to even pay off the lawyer. I was so lucky to even have Evan because suddenly Miles considered him is property and wanted him but the judge only gave him visitations.
