Chapter 1 my life
SOFIA POV
As I am sitting in a small coffee house in New York with my handsome son. He is reading his new book he got in the bookstore a few days ago. I am so glad he got my love of books. He is drinking his hot chocolate and eating his cinnamon roll. It's his favorite. We come here every Saturday morning. I do some writing and he gets to enjoy his books.
Let's start from the beginning. My name is Sophia, Grace welder. My son's name is Nathan, Marcus Tomlin, Junior. My son is 11 and we have been living in New York for about four years. Four years ago my life was turned upside down. but in all reality my life turned upside down 12 years ago. When I was 19 my ex-boyfriend. Theo Was having a big party and we were all drinking and having fun. I got a little drunk so I went to his room to lay on the bed and go to sleep. Theo checked on me a few times throughout the party. Well I thought he did.
but I was very wrong. He was in his sister's bedroom sleeping with Laney his best friend's girlfriend. and the next morning, when I woke up, I was naked, and there was a naked body next to me, but it wasn’t Theo. No, it was Nathan Theo’s best friend. Nathan's girlfriend Laney and my boyfriend Theo walked in on us. I told them I don’t know how this happened. I went to bed because I was drunk. You checked on me a few times. And I was dressed, not naked. I didn't understand any of it. Of course I got blamed for everything, Laney and Theo both left town.
From that day forward my life was a living hell. Nathan’s father, Nathan Senior made Nathan and I get married. a few months into our marriage. Nathan came home drunk and we were intimate. which I found out later down the road. It was my first time. I thought my first time was with Nathan on the night of the party, but I never slept with him that night.
We were set up. By theo and laney. Nathan treated me like shit he blamed me for everything. He said it was all my fault. I must’ve drugged him because he would never have been with a woman like me. That hurt me so bad even though he treated me so badly I fell in love with him. A couple weeks after we were intimate I found out I was pregnant. I was very happy. I always wanted to be a mom and I loved Nathan so much. During the pregnancy was the onlytime Nathan was nice to me. I fell more in love with Nathan during that time. but he never loved me. He made that very clear.
When little Nathan was about 4, Laney moved back to town. I was unaware of it. At that time Laney and Nathan started their affair it went on for 2 years, right before little Nathan‘s sixth birthday. I found out that Laney and Theo had set us up. I never slept with Nathan the night of the party. Nathan has known for two years that I was not lying.
He knew I did not do anything wrong, but yet he was still treating me like shit. I was trying to keep my cool and have a good birthday party for my little Nathan. after the party I decided to draw up divorce papers. I could not go on living like this With a man who did not love me. Who could hurt me so badly and not care about it. I got a lawyer i had her meet with Nathan’s lawyer to come up with a custody arrangement, because I would never take little Nathan away from his father. Nathan is a good father.
When Nathan was at work, I packed up all my belongings, and all of little Nathan's necessary belongings. He’ll need clothes and toys here at his dads house. Myself and little Nathan moved to an apartment that was my grandmas She was the only one who did not disown me after what happened. She also left me a house in New York where she was from. I want to move there but I am not sure if I can.
I left a note with the divorce papers for Nathan telling him that I knew about his affair with Laney, and that she and Theo had set us up all those years ago. You have treated me like shit this entire time and you knew the truth. You let me believe all this time that I was to blame for it but I wasn't.
I knew you hated me. I just never thought you were this cruel. Let’s meet on Monday to go over the custody arrangement. You are a good father and little Nathan loves you.
he needs his father Nathan called me that night and said OK so you know. I really do think it matters you know that I never loved you. You knew why I married you my father made me i would never be with a women like you. I was so hurt by his words. I never did any thing to you. I do not deserve to treated like this. You put me through hell, treated me like shit and yet you found out that I was not the one who put us in this situation but clearly you don’t care, I lost my family and friends because of Laney and theo.
Will you every feel bad for what you have put me through i will not hold my breath. You clearly do not care about me at all. You broke my heart. Weather you love me or not i am your wife and the mother of your son you should at the very least treat me with respect. But its over and done with lets just be civil towards each other for Nate he is who matters. Let’s meet on Monday. I don’t want anything from you. All I want is for you to be there for son.
