“I
believe that’s it, Ms. Swan,” Caius, her attorney, murmured. “Your husband
agreed to the monetary, personal furnishings, and property concessions you
proposed. All I need is for you to sign here.”
Bella
picked up the heavy silver pen, signing the divorce decree, ending her nearly ten-year marriage.
She had been blindsided by James’ proposition of getting divorced. Never in her
mind did she expect he would have asked to end their fairy tale.
Bella
and James started dating in college when James transferred to Northwestern
during Bella’s junior year. They were paired up for a project in one of their
classes. A friendship formed and slowly morphed into a sweet romance. They
stayed together for the rest of their college careers, only breaking up when
Bella went to law school at Harvard University. James was beginning his career
as an advertising executive in Chicago. A long-distance relationship was not
what he needed, nor did Bella. She had to focus on her studies.
A
handful of one-night stands and mediocre relationships troubled Bella, not
really satisfying her. When she finished her law degree, head hunters from
various firms approached her. The one that
caught her eye, Volturi and
Volturi, was from Chicago. Packing her bags, she
moved back to the city where she met and fell in love with James, only to fall
into him again. Literally. James’ advertising firm was in the same building as
Bella’s new law office. She had stumbled into the elevator and her ex-boyfriend
caught her, preventing her from face-planting into his crotch. The sparks
rekindled, and within a year, James and Bella moved in together. Two years
after that, a proposal. Finally, after five years together, Bella and James had
the fairy tale wedding, promising to love each other for the rest of their
lives.
Ten years is more like it, Bella thought bitterly.
