Moving Out

Ella's pov- I was setting on the couch silently but there was storms going inside my mind. I was all happy with my life...good family......reliable friends. All was amazing until I meet him. I still remember everything like all of those things happened just yesterday. Falling for him in our first meeting to get married with him. He is the dream man of every girls. I thought I was the luckiest girl in the world. I still remember When it was our marriage day, after all the formalities in the night he never came. When he came back in the next morning i asked him why he didn't come at night, where he was.

(Flashback)*

Alden pressed Ella to the wall and grabbed her jaw full of force. He was hurting her but he didn't care. He answered her with full of anger....

Alden- "For my family i had to marry you. This marriage is nothing but a business deal to me. And when the deal will expire this marriage will also end. Until then just act like a good wife. From this marriage you can get the title of Mrs. Anderson and can enjoy all luxurious life but don't except more than this from me."

Alden forcefully pushed her to the ground. He turned around to leave but stopped at the door.

Alden- "Remember this if anyone gets to know about this, it'll not end well." He warned me.

I could feel how much he didn't want this marriage. I could smell alcohol from him to which i felt like vomiting. I cried after he left. (flashback ends)*

Started from there i knew he isn't in love with me like i was. For him this marriage was more like invisible shackles which binded him. I knew i won't be happy in this marriage...but still I thought if i loved him with all my heart one day he'll surely see my efforts and will also love me back. But all of these were only my wishful thinking. Now i don't even have the strength to cry anymore. I closed my eyes and only could think about the things that happened today. Until Now it’s more than 2years I've been married to him. But I never thought one day all my dreams will be shattered like this. I never thought I'd regret my decision of marrying him so much. When I got to know about the truth, i couldn't believe my eyes. But when i saw them having sex in my own house, on my own bed my heart broke in an instant. The pain i was feeling i couldn't even describe. Ana and Rebecca came back with my suitcase in there hand. I looked at them and again started crying. What else can I do at this situation without crying. I was feeling so helpless.

Ella- "What mistake I made that God is punishing me like this? Tell me Ana. Even my own mother betrayed me. My own sister betrayed me. And A Aa ..Alden... If he didn't wanted then why the hell he married me in the first place?" I was screaming and crying. Why God is doing this to me?

Ella- "Tell me....my own sister and mother betrayed me. How can they...my own blood?"

Ana sat down next to me on the couch- "Ella don't cry please."

Rebecca said with a sad face putting a hand on Ana's shoulder- "No, let her cry. It'll help her."

Then Rebecca looked at Theo. Theo was in the room but his mind was not there. His eyes were cold. Rebecca hesitate to go near him. Suddenly we heard a doorbell. Ana and Rebecca looked at eachother. Theo also looked at the door. We all knew who it can be. Theo got up from the chair and said - "We have to leave now. We can't stay here anymore."

Then he came to me and grabbed my face making me look at him- "Ella please we have to leave now. Please stop crying. Do you want them to see your venerable state? Do they deserve it?"

Theo looked at Rebecca and then Rebecca handed him some papers.

Theo- "Ella, i didn't want to say this to you now. But looking at the situation we have to bring it up. This is the divorce papers."

My eyes widened hearing him.

Theo- "You heard me right. If you don't sing on this now Alden will not let take you with us. Do you want to stay in this marriage knowing all of the things that the have done to you? Do you not have any self respect? Answer me!"

I could heard the frustration from his voice. I know he is also hurt as much I am. He nodded and handed me a pen. I could hear the impatient doorbell ringing again and again.

Theo- "Ella you deserve much more better than this. Please!" He pleaded "Remember what they did to us...what they did to you. Do you still want this marriage? No one knows better than you what is this marriage. Don't waste anymore time Ella. Please! Please!" A tear skipped from his eyes. He quickly adverted his eyes. He didn't want us to see that but I saw.

Yes It's true. No one knows better than me this marriage is nothing to Alden. Before knowing the truth i was only trying in vain. After witnessing today their betrayal I swear to myself I'll never forgive them. I'll let them pay the price of what they've done to me by ten folds. But before that I've to know why did they do this to me. I've to ask Alden why he did this to me. I singed the divorce papers as after this I'm not that low to stay in this marriage anymore. Yes as Theo have said i value my self-respect. I have sacrificed enough self-respect for him. After marriage he wouldn't let me work. I listened to him. He wouldn't let me wear short dresses saying if I'm trying to seduce other males by wearing these short dresses. I beard all the humiliation but still listened to him. I even have to ask him before going anywhere. He even wouldn't let me meet my friends often. He was in control of everything of what I'd do or not. Like I'm a doll he'd decided everything for me. I had no freedom. But still I'd not complain as I've loved him so much. For love I've sacrificed so much but what I get in return? Only betrayal!!

A tear dropped in the paper, but Ella didn't saw. Her eyes were blank. She handed over the papers to Theo.

Ella's pov-

We got up to leave. Ana and Rebecca stood by my side and Theo opened the door. We saw Alden standing there. Alden angrily asked Theo- "Does it takes 20 minutes to open this damn door?" He pushed Theo aside and stromed inside the house. But Rebecca blocked him to go near me anymore. Seeing the suitcase Alden asked- "Where do you think you are going Ella? You are not allowed to leave. Go upstairs."

Ana- "Wow, what a bastered! Why are you even here in the first place? You should be with Liya right?"

Alden-"I'm not talking with you. Ella go to your room. I'll give you answers for what happened today."

Rebecca- "And why should she listen to you? Who are you even to order her around?! She has her own right. She'll do what she wants."

Alden- "I'm Ella husband and it's between her and me. So please Ms. Smith stay out of it."

I couldn't stand anymore. My eyes blazed with fire. How can he talk to my friends like this. How can he still order me around after what he has done? Does he think I'll listen to him like i always do? Does he have no shame? Then he has a bigger misunderstanding. I hated him even more for this. With hatred filled eyes i said to him- "How dare you! Who gives you the right to speak to my friends like this? And what? you are what? My husband? Let me correct you there." I threw the divorce papers in his face.

and said- "You better sing these papers...otherwise see you at the court."

Shock was evident in Alden's eyes. He couldn't even utter a word. And before he could say anything I took my suitcase and got out of that house. We all sat inside Ana's car and Theo drove out of the villa. The ride was silent, no one was speaking. I was thinking of all the things happened today. How can they stoop so low. How can be they so cruel? Looking at the sky from the windows i felt that the sky was also unhappy as it started pouring heavily. I could not stop my tears as i again started crying with the sky. Rebecca was beside me comforting as i made myself a crying mess.
