Saona

“Your honor, I love my wife. I’ve loved her since the first moment I saw her. I’ve made a lot of mistakes but I’m human. I know I don’t deserve her but…I want a chance to show her how sorry I am. I want to show her I’m a changed man. I want the opportunity to make this up to her.”

And I want to vomit.

David’s gaze is lasering to mine from the other side of the room. I’m reigning in the urge to roll my eyes to the back of my head. But Carina prepared me for this. I laughed when she said he would play the contrite husband who would do anything to get me back. I tried to tell her that wasn’t his style. All he knew how to do was throw childish tantrums and slam doors.

She said, “Girl, you don’t even know the shit I see on a daily basis. It wouldn’t surprise me if he brought a priest to attest that he’s been more chaste than a choir boy.”

She turned out to be a prophet. From the moment the proceeding began, David and his lawyer began lobbying for marriage counseling, mediation, and everything under the sun.

“Saona, I love you and I’m asking you for the chance to show you how much I’ve changed. We owe it to each other to try. If it doesn’t work out, we’ll know we gave it our best.”

The scoff is on the tip of my tongue but Carina taps the back of her heel to mine. It’s our rehearsed signal and it means I need to calm down and choose my words carefully.

I take a deep breath and stay calm. He’s not going to get to me. Not this time.

“Is there anything you want to add, Mrs. Torres?” The judge’s tone is cutting. This man has already decided I’m in the wrong. He’s spent months granting David any bullshit thing he can use to roadblock our divorce.

But it’s my right to speak my mind and I won’t budge. Not after all David has done to me. I square my shoulders back and look at the judge.

“Yes, your honor. My marriage lost the battle long ago. David has been unfaithful to me from the very beginning. He’s lied to me, used me. For six years, I’ve been supporting the household and paying the rent and bills. I’ve also helped him and his relatives. He and his lawyers have been trying to find loopholes around a prenup he and his mother surprised me with two days before our wedding. He’s claiming that he didn’t know my earnings and I was never transparent but he’s the one that insisted we file taxes separate and handled our assets the same way.
