My Heart Was Once Your's

Preparing for divorce and a road trip

Emily POV

I woke up early to tell her I needed her to draw up the papers. After we end the call I rush to the bathroom to empty the contents in my stomach. It's just nerves is all I think I go to the restroom to get ready for my day. It takes Some time but I settle on some nice jeans that fit my body nicely with a low cut shirt. I straightened my hair and put some make up on not too much though. I'm walking through the empty house he must have left to be with his slut is all I think. I make my way downstairs to start my breakfast I made french toast with fresh fruit on top, and some eggs with bacon. I pick up my phone call Jessica "how about a road trip" is all I say as she picks up. She screams "Hell yeah" I laugh from her words she asked me about last night and tell her let's meet for coffee to talk about it. "Okay I will be there in 30 minutes" is all I say as I finish my food and clean my dishes. I walk upstairs to grab a small purse then walk out to my car getting in and driving off.

I make it to the coffee shop 5 minutes late I walk in looking around to see Jessica sitting at a back table with her cup of coffee. I walk to the table "sorry I'm late traffic got a little crazy" she smiles "it's okay I ordered your favorite" is all she says and I sit down thanking her. I began to tell her all about last night "that dog tried to deny it at first!" Is all she says with anger in her eyes. I nodded my head bringing my coffee to my lips enjoying the feeling of it sliding down my throat this is what I needed is all I think. "You should take him to the cleaners you know if you can prove he is cheating that cancels out the prenup you can take him for half of it all!" I sigh "I just want a clean break so I can start over I don't want anything he has, I'm even giving up what the prenup says I get." Is all I say and she gives me the are you crazy look. Hell I just might be crazy but I don't want a messy divorce part of me will always care for Ericson. I feel like if I do that he can hang that over my head and that's something I don't need or want. I know I can make it on my own so he can take it all if that's what it takes to make this happen quickly. "I can handle myself, but about our road trip we are going to Louisiana." She smiles "yeah, we could day drink and hire a voodoo priestess to help us find a curse that will make his peter shrivel up and die."

Her words send me into a laughing fit because this girl is crazy and that's why I love her. After we were done with coffee I told her to be ready to leave at 10 pm I want to be on the road after I sign the papers. Once I get into my car my phone rings and it's the lawyer she informs me the papers are ready so I head to her office to look them over. It takes me a good 40 minutes to pull up to the office it was on the nicer side of town. It was a tall building and her office is on the 10th floor. I walk in and say hello to the receptionist after we talk i walk to the elevator I had my brother already send a check to the office I told him I would pay him back immediately. But he said consider it a gift if someone fucked over his little sister then he deserves everything he got. Once I was in the elevator my phone pinged with an email from Mr. Slaughter It was the Address of the office I would have to go to when I finally made it to Louisiana he was even kind enough to set up arrangements so I have a place to freshen up. It made me wonder what my grandmother left me and why she would leave it to me I thought she cut off my father so his only daughter would be no exception. My father passed away a year ago so sadly I wouldn't be able to ask him anything and my mother actually didn't know anything.

And she is still mad at me for leaving my soon to be ex husband so we are not on good terms at this moment. Hopefully she will forgive me after a while is all I think. The door finally opens to a beautiful and sleek office I walk in going to the front desk a young woman with black hair and hazel eyes sat behind it. " Hello, I have a meeting with Miss. Roberts she is expecting me" is all I say to her. She looks at me with a smile  "you can have a seat i will inform her that you are her." I thank her then walk to my seat sitting down in the chair. It takes her 10 minutes to walk out she was a short woman with a coco brown complexion, beautiful curly hair, and wearing an all red suit. She walks to me smiling "miss. Dawson it  is a pleasure" is all she says and I stand up to shake her hand. We walk into an all glass office as she hands me over the file "it's pretty simple since you say you don't want anything from him." I listen to her as I look over the files.
