Farewell, Cruel LoveBOOK1-Chapter 1
Michael Purnell and I had been together for nine years. In that time, we had gotten divorced ten times. The eleventh time, I followed him to a jewelry store where he helped his lover, Regina White, choose a diamond ring.
“She’s pregnant. Just pretend this is temporary,” Michael said calmly.
Without any hint of guilt, he continued as he said, “We’ll get married again in eight months.”
“Until then, move out. I’ll have your meals delivered to you every day.”
“Oh, and go sign the divorce papers. Regina is in a very delicate condition right now. She can’t handle taking care of a baby by herself.”
I took the divorce papers from him and nodded quietly. As I turned to leave, I heard laughter behind me. It was his group of friends.
“Michael is something else,” one of them said, laughing.
“He turned his ex-wife into a servant.”
Michael chuckled and said proudly, “This is nothing. Evelyn is cheap. Even if I don’t marry her again, she’ll still take care of my child like a mistress.”
I didn’t respond. I just looked down at my phone and sent a message to the man I had been speaking with.
[Evelyn Cooke: I have the divorce certificate now. When are we getting married?]
