01 Divorce and Heartbreak
(Winona)
It's been two months since | saw my husband Jayden. I'm almost positive he's coming to askfor a divorce
right now but I'm not giving up.
Three years ago, after a car accident, he lost his memory, and | lay in a coma for a year. When | woke up, all |
wanted to do was see him again. All | wanted was for us to be the couple we once were.
When | found him, it was like a knife straight through my heart. Not only didn't he remember me, but he loved
another woman, Ashlyn. My heart pounds and tears swell in my eyes as | listen to the husband I love speak to
"Despite what you did, I'm coming there," he seethes over the phone. "I want this over once and for all and I'm
coming back to see that happens. I'll be there at dinner time."
He believes | drugged him into sleeping withtwo months ago. "I did nothing. This is all a mistake, if only you
could remember how much we loved each other..." | beg. "Don't start with these lies again," he roars.
My hands shake as | hold my cell phone away from my ear. My heart breaks all over again but I'm determined to
help him remember me. One day he will. Please let him remember me.
"I'm not lying to you, | swear. | love you." My voice fades because I've almost given up hope on us. | let out a
small sob despite myself.
"Don't start on fake tears. You're pathetic. | know what you're trying to do. Mother warnedyou'd do this."
His mother always hated me. She never wanted him to marry me. | wasn't good enough. My family had no status
or money. She'd forbidden him to marryand said she'd cut him from the will and the family billions if he did.
But Jayden said he didn't care about what she said. He lovedand even if we had to start with nothing, we'd
build our own world together. | was more important to him than money or his family who constantly hated
anyone not in their financial league.
"Jayden. We went to Vegas. We got married. Then we had the accident on the way back. Getting married was
your idea, not mine."
"I don't care what you say. So, we got married but you trickedinto it."
"No. That's not true. You lovedthen we had an accident and everything changed."

the call is disconnected.
In these two years, | never gave up on our love. It was too real, too deep, too passionate. But right now, I'm
doubting everything. His family is powerful. Ashlyn has the family background they want. She's lying to him as
well.
Tears pour down my face. Perhaps | should just walk away. God knows I'd tried everything to get him to
remember. To trigger something in his head to make him at least question the story his family had given him.
| took him to many places that were meaningful to us, but all he showed was boredom and sometimes contempt.
The last tI'd tried, he becvery agitated. "I told you | don't remember you. Why can't you just give up? |
just want a peaceful life, to be happy with the woman I love, Ashlyn. But you keep trying to convince| loved
you. How could | ever love someone like you?" The look in his eyes that day maderealize he truly believed
everything they'd said to him.
He only sawas an obstacle, a wife he didn't want anymore. But | got so close to helping him see what we
used to be. So close.
Two months ago we got drunk together, and we slept together for the first tin two years. It was amazing and
| thought I'd finally won him back.
But the next morning, Jayden was angrier than ever. He was convinced that it was just another schto win
him back. | was still hopeful that one day he'd realize | was innocent.
But today he's coming hand I've prepared all his favorite dishes and I'm sitting here waiting at the dinner
table.
| hear him cin the front door. I stand up.
Maybe, here, he might remember what we had. How he loved the way | cooked for him.
But he walks into our hwith the woman he fell in love with when | was in coma.
He glances over the laden table and shakes his head. "You truly are delusional. Did you think | was here to have
dinner with you?" He spits the words out like venom. "Did you really think | could ever be with you again? You
may have gotteninto bed with you once, but I won't be slumming anytsoon again. You're pathetic."
Behind him | notice Ashlyn with a shocked look on her face. She didn't know we'd slept together obviously.
He stares atwith no emotions in his eyes and handsa document. "Sign this."
| take it and look at the heading. Divorce papers. "No. | don't want a divorce. Just give us a chance."
"Ashlyn and | want to get engaged. Sign the damn papers!"
This hitsso hard | want to vomit. | rush out to the kitchen sink and I vomit. It's awful. When I'm done, | use a
paper towel to wipe my mouth and go back to the dining room.
"You can pretend to be sick all you want. I'm not falling for that. Just sign the divorce."
Ashlyn just looks atblankly but | see something flash over her face like worry or fear. Maybe hearing I'd been
with Jayden recently has her rattled.
"Can't you see they are lying to you. Ashlyn, your mother. Your mother always hated you being with me. But you
didn't care. You were ready to walk away with nothing."
