Goodbye Forever Ex-Husband (by Ammund) novel Chapter 1

CHAPTER 001

OLIVIA’S POV

I lit the last candle, adjusting it slightly to balance the warm glow across the room. Soft music played in the background, and the bedside table was set with Adrian’s favorite wine.

Tonight had to be perfect.

I smoothed the silk lingerie which I had bought just for tonight with my trembling

hands as I checked myself in the mirror one last time.

The sound of the door opening downstairs sent a chill down my spine. My heart raced.

Adrian was home.

I hurried to the edge of the bed, holding my cold hands together.

The door to the bedroom swung open, and there he was, he never ceases to take my breath away. His perfect angelic figure filled the doorway, his tie loose and suit wrinkled which was a rare sight for my always composed husband.

“What are you doing in my room?” His cold voice echoed in the room interrupting my thoughts.

I quickly stood up from the edge of the bed and my hands gripped a small portion of the fabric of my silk lingerie suddenly felt ridiculous in the outfit that I’d spent hours picking at the mall.

“I… I thought we could spend some time together,” I stammered.

His gaze swept across the room from the flickering candles, the soft music, the wine and finally landed on me.

His expression hardened and became darker causing me to shiver.

“I didn’t ask for an explanation,” he said coldly. “Blow out the candles and get out.”

I froze, his words hitting harder than they should have.

“Adrian,” I said quietly, forcing a smile that felt fragile. “It’s been a month since you’ve been home. Can’t we just talk for a moment?”

He let out a deep breath, rubbing his forehead as though I were an inconvenience. “I’m tired, Olivia. Don’t make this harder than it needs to be.”

“I’ve waited for you for one month!” My voice cracked, and I hated how desperate I sounded. “I thought…”

“I said I’m tired. Are you deaf?” His tone was final and harsh.

I bit back the lump in my throat.

I was in love and this is what love does, it makes you foolish. It makes you endure things you never thought you would.

CHAPTER 001

You might ask me why I married him when I knew this was how he behaved towards me. It would shock you to know that Adrian wasn’t always like this.

When we were dating, Adrian was sweet, thoughtful and caring. He made me believe I was the only woman meant for him and I fell for it. I agreed to marry him but the night we got married Adrian changed.

He became cold and distant, he even left me alone in the suites on our wedding night and went off to God knows where. I didn’t see my husband until a week later.

No intimacy, no honeymoon, nothing!

I took a shaky breath and decided to try again. “Maybe I can help you relax just like the night before you travelled. We could…”

His dry, cold laugh cut me off. “Help me? Do you think I’d want to have anything to do with you? The last time was a drunken mistake.”

He shook his head. “Stop trying so hard, Olivia. It’s pathetic.”

Drunken mistake? Pathetic?
