That morning, the sunbeams filtering through the kitchen blinds did nothing to warm Stella’s heart. Her gaze was empty, fixed on a manila envelope lying silently on the dining table. The envelope bore the official seal of the Cook County Domestic Relations Division.
Stella’s hands trembled violently as she slowly reached for it. Her heart pounded as if it already knew the bad news hidden inside. It had been 3 weeks since Gabe had come home.
Her husband, the man who once promised to be faithful in good times and bad when they were both starting from nothing, had now completely changed. Ever since his career as a young attorney began to take off and his name started to become known around Chicago, Gab’s attitude had turned cold. He rarely answered her calls.
He frequently made excuses about working late, and the final straw was him leaving home without so much as a goodbye. With baited breath, Stella tore the seal on the envelope. Her eyes scanned line by line the print on the white paper.
A summon for a divorce hearing. The date was set for tomorrow morning. Stella’s chest tightened as if the air supply in the room had suddenly been cut off.
Her tears fell, wetting the paper that was proof of her marriage’s failure. The tears on her cheeks hadn’t even dried when her phone buzzed. An incoming message.
Gab’s name appeared on the screen. That name used to make Stella smile whenever she heard from him, but now it only brought a stabbing pain to the pit of her stomach. Stella opened the message with fingers that were still trembling.
You got the letter right. Don’t forget to show up tomorrow. I expect you to cooperate.
