Chapter 3

I was always compliant when it came to Julian.

But with the divorce, I lost my mind.

Only because I loved him too much.

I still wanted to win him back.

I confronted that woman, telling her she was nothing but a mistress, that what she was doing was morally reprehensible. I even offered her money to leave Julian.

I even went as far as to expose Julian’s affair to his father.

I thought this would make Julian come back.

But what happened was, he came home, grabbed me by the arm, and exploded in anger.

He called me crazy.

He screamed that I knew his father had a weak heart, that I was trying to kill him with my words, that I was intentionally trying to trigger his heart condition.

He told me to come at him directly, not threaten that woman. He accused me of having ulterior motives.

He smashed a lot of things in the house.

He even said I disgusted him and that I should live alone from then on.

After that day, I could never get through to him by phone again.

I sent him messages.

"Julian, I’m so sorry. I know I handled things badly. Please don't be angry. Come home. I know you like girls with long hair and soft skin. I can grow my hair long, I can take care of my skin."

He replied with just one message.

"Aubrey, being with you feels like being with a guy. I just want a divorce. Can't we just end this amicably?"
