The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn

~NICOLE~

I angrily slam my door as I storm into my house.

I couldn't believe Alaric was treating me so poorly.

He was never like this in the past; he would usually give me everything I wanted. It's not the first time I've had nasty things to say about his family, but this was the first time he reacted this poorly to it. In fact, I've said worse things about them in the past, but it never made him lash out like this before.

If he was upset with what I'd said, why couldn't he speak to me about it? Why did he have to go as far as continuing with the divorce?

We've spent months with him trying to save our marriage. Now, all of a sudden, he wants to divorce me.

It was not something that I could easily accept.

This wasn't the Alaric that I was used to. It felt strange to see him behaving like this around me.

It's almost as though he didn't love me anymore. I've never questioned his love for me in the past, but things are different now.

It's been different ever since that girl. . . That ugly-looking girl came into our lives.

Clara Mae. Oh, how I hated that name. I always had a bad feeling about her. I should have listened to my gut.

But it's not the first time she's shown up. She's been around since she first started dating Carter. I never felt threatened by her back then. But all of that seemed to change after she ended the relationship with Carter. After they broke up, Alaric became more protective of her.

I should have seen the warning signs much earlier. I was too caught up in Ace to realize that my husband was falling for another woman.

He didn't want to admit that his sudden behavior change was because of her, but I knew it was all her fault. I wasn't a fool. My eyes weren't deceiving me; I knew something was going on between them.

He's been a changed man ever since she started coming over to their house more often. I couldn't believe that he would betray me like this for her.

What did she have that I didn't? How could he ever leave me for her?

For Clara? Her beauty was nothing compared to mine. In fact, I am the most beautiful girl in Alaric's life.

I had to do something before he made a move on her.

I felt sick to my stomach just thinking about it.

If he thought that this was the end of us, he was sadly mistaken.

I was not going to sit back and let him divorce me just like that. I would fight till my dying breath to ensure he stayed married to me.

I had plenty of plans for our future and I was not going to let a woman like Clara get in the middle of it.

I tried hurting her through Scarlett but those damn Cage brothers got in the way and spoilt the entire plan. Now I had to start everything from scratch.

I stare at the picture of my husband on the desk in front of me.

He was not going to let go of me that easily. I would make his life bloody miserable until he realized that he needed me back in his life.

If he thought I would sit back and let him be with Clara, he had another thing coming.

I would do everything in my power to keep them apart. And there was plenty that I could do. I already had a few plans up my sleeve.

He didn't know what I was capable of doing. There was plenty that he didn't know about me.

Even now, he had no clue that I had an affair with Ace Blackner.

I would make sure that he never found out that I wanted to divorce him so badly in the past just so that I could be with Ace.

I inwardly sighed; I was still hoping for a chance with him.

I've been trying to get him to meet me, but he's been turning me down. This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

I was not going to give up.

Ace was the one I wanted. He wasn't a monster like Alaric was.

He was sexy and wild. He made me feel weak to my knees. He wasn't soft and sweet like Alaric was. I was tired of Alaric's kind nature. He was weak, while Ace was strong and knew how to make a woman scream from pleasure.

I felt turned on just thinking about him.

I was planning on going over to his home once more today. If I could get Ace back into my life somehow, then all of my problems would go away.

He knew I was married now and that was my biggest problem. I had to find a way to make him feel sorry for me.

In the meantime, I had to make sure that Alaric didn't get any closer to Clara.

I didn't have much time to keep them apart.
