Wedding
My sister’s wedding is in America, more reason for me to be here. I was looking forward to it. She also invited Amanda and her family.
It was the day of the wedding, Amanda was the one that designed my dress and my daughter’s too.
It was so beautiful. Amanda and her kids came with us, we got to the reception a little bit late.
My name was called out, I had to make a speech for my dear sister, people were shocked to see me especially my family.
What did they expect, did they think I was dead or something. I mean my family and Ethan were shocked to see me. I finished my speech.
My sister came to hug me and told me, “I am so happy you came. I thought you changed your mind”.
I held her, “I would never miss your wedding, even though I don’t want to see some people but you are more important to me”.

Flashback
After my divorce from Raven, I was not myself. I was so angry and hurt that she would do that to me
I loved that girl. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
I told my parents about the divorce and what she did. My dad was furious with me. My mom was disappointed in me.
She asked if the pictures were real because to her eyes they didn’t seem so. I told her I found it on my office table. I was too damn angry to check if it was photoshopped.
She called her PI to check it, which came out to be fake. We tracked it down and found out it was my assistant that did all this simply because she was in love with me.
Like what the hell, I would never go for a girl like her, she was too fake.
Oh, God! What have I done? I didn’t trust my wife enough. I believed some stupid photoshopped pictures and that cost me the love of my life. How could I be so stupid?!
I went to her parent’s house to apologize to her since that was where she would be. But they told me they disowned her.
I told them the pictures were fake. How could they not trust their daughter? Well, I’m not the one to talk about trust.
We searched for her but it was like she did not want to be found. But I was a little bit suspicious that her sister was behaving somehow like she knew something, but didn’t want to say anything.
But who was I to question her? My family was disappointed in me. If only they were around when all this happened.
They were celebrating their thirty years of marriage on a remote island and I did not want to disturb them.
They were disappointed and told me that what I did was wrong and that I am supposed to trust my wife. Now she is nowhere to be found.
Seven Years Later
It’s been almost seven years of searching for Raven but nothing. My life has been miserable but nobody knows how I feel. My business has been going well because all I do is work, work, work, and work. I hardly go home why should I even go home when no one will be there waiting for me
So when my friend called me and told me he was getting married, I was so happy for him, he told me to be his best man which I accepted.
I told my parents about the wedding and they said they were going to come since my friend was like a second son to them and it was Raven’s sister that he was getting married to, she’s a nice person.
During the reception, I was told to make a speech which I did.
They announced somebody from the bride’s side to make a speech. They said, “Raven Carmichael”. Waiting for the person to come up. But what I didn’t expect was to see my Raven there.
There she was looking more beautiful than the last time I saw her. I thought she would be broke because she didn’t take a penny from me during our divorce.
Right since she had nowhere to go, I mean her parent practically disowned her, her brother did not even listen to her, I for one chased her out of my house and I know she had some friends but most of her female friends always tried to seduce me, she always caught them flirting with me and I did not like any of her male friends, yea call me jealous but I don’t care I loved that woman and I still do.
But she still trusted me and stopped being friends with them or hanging out with people she met.
Her speech was good, what am I saying, like I was even listening to what she was saying.
I was busy staring at her, her lips, her body. Call me a pervert, I don’t care. Gosh, she was just so beautiful, I could not stop staring at her, I mean she got bigger in the right places if you know what I mean.
I couldn’t take it anymore after her speech. I approached her while she was talking to her sister. I was nervous, what was I even going to say to her, so I said the first thing that came to my mind.
“You look beautiful Raven”.
Raven Pov
After my speech I was busy talking to my sister. I was so happy for her.
I heard someone behind me saying, “You look beautiful Raven”.
I was about to reply, when I saw it was no one other than my stupid ex-husband.
Is that something he can say to me? What was I even expecting him to say anyway?
I just gave him my stone-cold face which he knows very well is what I do when I am angry or when I don’t want to talk to someone.
I ignored him. He can’t expect that I should turn and kiss him, smile at him after what he did to me.
