Their love was so gross, I had to say
Г
“You guys done? Let’s go sign the papers.”
“Move it along. I’m taking up your spot.”
That did it. He lost it.
“Are you heartless, Sarah? Can’t you see
Ashley’s hurting because of you?”
“I am ordering you to apologize to her!”
I laughed at the guy’s nerve and sneered at
Ashley’s triumphant look.
“You blind? You pushed me down the stairs,
did you apologize? Why can you say you’re
the baby’s father? By ignoring me in a fire?”
“Or by spending the last five months of my
<
pregnancy with another woman?”
He was fuming, accusing me.
“Because you set the fire, trying to burn
Ashley!”
“I thought a week would cool you off, but
clearly not!”
“A selfish, vicious bitch like you doesn’t
deserve to be a mom!”
“Give me the baby, and if you’re nice to
Ashley, I might let you see it. Otherwise,
forget it!”
He shouted so loud, everyone was looking.
Someone noticed it was the fire captain from
People stopped to watch.
Ashley didn’t want people to stop.
“I know you hate me, but you have to think
about the baby. I forgive you for the fire. Just don’t be angry.”
People started yelling at me.
“Isn’t that the evil woman who lied online?
Still at it?”
“She joked about arson. This is nothing.”
“That baby’s going to hell with her. Why is
she still alive?”
Ryan didn’t defend me.
く
He still thinks he is better than everyone else.
“Did you not hear me? Apologize to Ashley!”
“Sure, if she apologizes at my baby’s grave.”
“Unbelievable! Hopeless!”
“I was a fool to marry you! It’s over. Right
now.”
Ashley’s face was happy.
I didn’t say anything, brushing myself off.
Laugh now.
You’ll cry harder when you go to jail.
The employees knew who we were.
The employees knew who we were.
They felt bad for Ryan.
As if divorce was a getaway for him.
Like I kept him from being happy.
I let them take pictures.
I became more hated than before.
Leaving the courthouse, Ryan didn’t look at
- me.
He put his arm around Ashley and they got
into the car.
He forgot about the baby.
If he doesn’t ask, I won’t tell.
My house was burned, and I rented a place.
After the paperwork, I went to the police
station.
Ashley sent me a showoff text.
Ryan was at the housing department, picking
a new place for them.
“You lost last time, and you’re going to lose
this time, your bastard will be dead.”
I sent everything to the cops.
The police saw the video and knew I was not
guilty.
Г
“Why didn’t you give us this earlier?”
I shook my head.
“It wasn’t the right time. Then I couldn’t get a
divorce.”
You have to hurt them bad.
The police told me to wait.
I was a housewife, I never worked.
After the divorce, I need to work.
I downloaded a job app and applied to jobs.
But everyone had already made up their
minds about me.
<
They didn’t want to interview me.
I had no experience.
They didn’t even open the email.
They saw my name and said no.
I called everyone.
People answered.
Then they put my number on a list.
I didn’t care.
If someone hired me, they would get hate.
I gave up the office.
I looked for retail jobs.
Every place that was hiring, I applied.
Finally, a jewelry store hired me.
The news was all over the place.
Everyone knew the arsonist was divorced.
They laughed.
People found Ryan and Ashley on a date.
They sent it online.
People felt happy for them.
A person said Ryan was going to get married
soon
The hotel announced that Ryan was getting
married there.
He told everyone they were friends.
Then he got married fast.
The wedding would be great.
I want the bride and groom taken away on the
wedding day.
