Me Not You
I open my eyes and the sun fills the room with warm light. I turn and see my handsome husband Liam sleeping next to me. I head downstairs and wake up my 4 year old daughter Saige. I start getting her dressed in her cute little outfit and when we finally get done we head to the kitchen and my husband is making breakfast.
My life is like a fairytale, I think to myself. I read Saige a story while Liam finished breakfast. We eat and then Liam leaves for work. I turn on the tv and watch Mickey Mouse with Saige. Just then I see a commercial that says that there is a sale on tickets to Disney world and I text Liam and asks if we have enough money in our bank account to get some.
I wait and wait but Liam doesn’t respond so I decide to look myself. I pull it up on the computer. I have to make sure it’s the right account because it says there is 3.5 million dollars in there and that couldn’t be our account could it? I frantically text Liam and then call and he finally answers after about 7 calls
“Ashley what do you need that you are calling me 7 times?” Liam asks
“Why is there 3.5 million dollars in our bank account?” I demand.
“Oh about that a couple weeks ago I was at a gas station and I decided to buy a lottery ticket. Turns out I won.” Liam laughs
“Why didn’t you tell me that you won?!” I inquired.
“Because I won it not you. I was just keeping it in there until I made a separate bank account. Also I want to get a divorce.” Liam states
“Fine but what about Saige?” I wonder.
“I don’t want her so, custody is all yours!” He exclaims a little to happy.
“Fine then!” I scream and hang up the phone. I start to break down. Why would he do this? I thought he loved me!
“What’s wrong momma?” Saige asks. She walks over and gives me a hug.
“Mommy and daddy are fighting.” I say through my tears.
“I am sorry you feel sad momma!” Saige says. I embrace her. I guess some this just aren’t meant to be.
