Chapter 8 Exposing Brandys Lies . You never really know a man until you have divorced him ~ Zsa Zsa Gabor Elenas P.O.V. Ever since I was a little girl , my grandmother Lauren would tell me that you should never give a second chance to someone who has repeatedly hurt you , in fact , she would tell me that giving someone abusive a second chance is like giving them an extra bullet for their gun . because they missed you the first time . When I was a lot younger , I never understood this quote and I think its because I was too young at the time to understand what was happening to me and when I was an adult , I was too blinded by love and desperation to see the abuse I was suffering from at the hands of the toxic people in my life but now that my eyes have been opened and my mind is clear , I finally understand it and its all that I can think about right now . I feel so stupid for staying for as long as I did and for not leaving earlier like I should have done but like I said I was blinded by love , hope and desperation that one day it would all stop and I would get to live my life with the supposed love of my life and have a decent relationship with my husband and my mother but now I know that this wouldve never happened because theyre both raging narcissists . Elena … Elena baby , please talk to me Urgh !! . Lord give me strength , please . Tristan , I know youre not the sharpest knife in the drawer but even your dumbass should be able to comprehend what Im saying when I tell you that if you call me pet names such as baby , babe , honey , love , sweetheart , darling or any other affectionate term again then Ill do the entire female race a favour and stick a rocket so far up your ass , youll find your cheating ass back on Mars where you belong I say as I smile at my soon to be ex husband who just looks at me with a shocked and hurt expression on his stupid face . You dont mean that , Ellie Tristan says and I had to fight to control myself from socking him in the jaw . +10 Points Chapter 8 Exposing Brandys Li … Were currently at my lawyers office to FINALLY finalise our divorce which my husband has been working so hard to avoid and Im determined to get both of our signatures on the dotted line today but that wont happen if Im caught beating the piss out of my ex in front of a bunch of lawyers , legal aids and even some cops just because he called me Ellie . You can add Ellie to that list as well , Tristan , only my loved ones and those who Im close to are allowed to call me by that nickname , not cheating , abusive scumbags like you What ? are you being serious ? Tristan asks me sounding angry and frustrated while I just smile and nod my Im being deadly serious , Tristan But Im the one who gave you that name head . Tristan said with annoyance in his tone and I scoffed as I looked at him confused . No , you didnt Tristan , Brandon did , actually , he called me Elliea because he couldnt say my full name when I was born and eventually , everyone picked up on it and started calling me Ellie including you But I was the one who always called you it , you cant stop me from calling you Ellie , Elena Yes I can , douchetard because its my name and its my right to say who can and cant call me by certain nicknames or pet names and as of today , actually , as of the moment you stuck your dirty , disg usting eggplant in my older sisters overused festival tent , youre no longer allowed to call me by any name except for Elena and even thats pushing it Not that it matters anyway because Ive got plans for after our divorce and none of them include Tristan or my w *** e sister , in fact , it would make my entire life if I never see either of them ever again after today . Why are you insulting your sister , Elena ? shes innocent and hasnt done anything to you What the f ** k ?. I narrowed my eyes at Tristan and I swear if looks could kill then this motherfucker would be six feet under right now . Are you f ***** g shitting me , asshole ? I growled before looking around the room to make sure my angry voice didnt catch anyones unwanted attention . I then narrowed my eyes back at the dirty snake sitting beside me who was looking at me with 2/7 +10 Point : Chapter 8 Exposing Brandys Li … a mix of shock and confusion on his face but I could also see anger and frustration in his eyes and thats because he was angry that I was defying him and I wasnt bowing down to him and kissing his feet like I usually do to avoid a beating and hes frustrated because he cant do anything about it . Brandys innocent , is she ? shes never done anything wrong to me , is that what you just said to me , Tristan ? I ask him and he hesitantly nods his head . So , Brandy didnt seduce MY husband , huh , she didnt have a two year long affair with MY husband after wed just lost our son ? which she was aware of but didnt care about because she wanted to get her own way , that b *** h didnt get pregnant with MY husbands baby and made sure I knew all about this juicy little fact rubbing salt in my already sore wounds after Id just found you both butt ass naked and auditioning really badly might I add for PornHub in our marital bed because the evil spawn o f Satan knows that I want nothing more than to be a mom but I cant because its not in gods plan for me , Brandy didnt do any of that to me , hmm ? I growl as Tristan looks at me with a look of shock and guilt on his face . Brandys a perfect , innocent little angel , right ? shes Mrs butter wouldnt melt , Mrs never does anything wrong , right Tristan ? … well , if thats the case then please explain to me why were here ? and why were getting a divorce ? do you think Im here divorcing your ass because I love making my hard earned money rain on my lawyer for nothing ? I ask through gritted teeth and he flinches . Sure , Brandy isnt the main reason why were getting divorced but its safe to say that we wouldnt be here now if it wasnt for her and her affair with Tristan because I wouldve eventually ran out of ways to safely divorce my husband without being left severely hurt or worse killed and I wouldve been left stuck in this marriage or forced out in a casket if it wasnt for that harlot . The truth is that my sister is an evil , vindictive , manipulative , attention seeking , narcissistic w *** e who will happily destroy mine and everyone elses lives around her just so that she can reap the benefits of her evil deeds , youre just too blinded by her evil side to see it because you were more focused on the fact that you got to screw a fallen Victorias Secret angel instead of seeing her true face I said and the guilt on Tristans face intensified . * Im sorry , Elena , Im so freaking sorry 3/7 +10 Points Chapter 8 Exposing Brandys Li … He says and I roll my eyes . No , youre not , Tristan , the only thing youre sorry about is the fact that you got caught , youre not sorry for having an affair and for cheating on me and our vows with the biggest slut in the Western Hemisphere Thats not true , Elena , I … Tristan says barely above a whisper but I cut him off before he could continue with his little act . Of course its true , Tristan I groaned in annoyance as I looked over at my husband . You loved the fact that you had a loving and obedient wife who had given up her career for you so that you could live out your dream of having a stay at home wife just like your dad did , the only difference is that he never abused your mother like you did with me and he didnt have a w *** e on the side who was ready and willing to let you live out all of your dirty and nasty fantasies with her Well , can you blame me for seeking out someone new , Elena ? you were always weak and never in the m ood to have s * x with me Because you were abusing me , you prick I growled at him with anger , frustration and annoyance in my tone . What kind of woman wants to have s * x with a man who is beating them like theyre their own personal punchbag , Tristan ? You know it was your fault I was hitting you , Elena , dont act like youre innocent in all of this Oh , really ? I ask feeling surprised . Yeah , you always provoked me and made me hit you and then you lost our baby , my heir and that was the straw that broke the camels back for me He growled at me and I scoffed . So , its my fault you cheated ? got it Of course its my fault , I mean , who else could be at fault for this but me , right ?. I never said that , Elena … 10 Point : Chapter 8 Exposing Brandys Li … Yes , you did I once again cut him off . You said it was my fault you were abusing me therefore its my fault that I was always weak and was never in the mood to have s * x with you … why cant you just be a man and take responsibility for your own actions , Tristan? why do you have to blame everyone under the sun but yourself ? Because Im not at fault , Elena Of course youre not at fault , Tristan , its all mine obviously , its my fault that you abused me mentally , physically and emotionally , its my fault whenever I had a new cut o r bruise or mark on my body or a broken bone or two that I couldnt explain to people because me being a big dummy , forced my husband to raise his hand to me and then I refused to have s * x with him which forced him to go and find affection elsewhere and thats my fault as well , its all my fault because Im such a bad wife , right ? Í ask sarcastically . Just a little FYI for you , Tristan , you and Brandy are the ones who are at fault here , not me and do you know what the truly sad and pathetic fact about all of this is , my dear husband ? the sad and pathetic fact about all of this is that you ruined everything for a skank who isnt even worth it , you ruined everything for a woman and I use that word like Brandy uses her knickers , very loosely , for someone who doesnt even want you , not like how I used to want you This is only partly true Our marriage was already over and done with when I realised that I couldnt live or be with an abusive man anymore , its just his affair with Brandy was the cherry on top of the f **** d up cake if you will , so technically him being an abusive prick ruined everything for us but his wandering wang didnt help . The really funny part is that your delusional ass honestly believes that youre gonna have with her what you thought you had with me but you wont because the only thing Brandy Donovan is faithful to is her reflection in the mirror , not to mention , my sister is only ever interested in something or someone when its mine … trust me , Tristan , if you and I werent married or in a relationship then Brandy wouldnt have given you a second look let alone give you the time of day I really wish I coul d say that what I just said was the bitter rantings of a betrayed wife who wants to hurt her ex the same way he hurt her even if its only just a sliver of it but 5/7 +10 Point Chapter 8 Exposing Brandys Li … unfortunately , all of its true . Brandy is such a true narcissist that if the fictional character Narcissus from which the word derives were a real person then hed be Brandys ancestor . Youre wrong , Elena , Brandy loves me and were gonna have a baby together , youre just jealous because Im divorcing your ass and youll never have what Brandy and I have got Tristan says and I throw my head back laughing . No , this b *** h did not just say that . First of all asshole , Im the one divorcing you , not the other way around , secondly , Im not jealous of you and Brandy , I never have and never will be jealous of you two scumbags and thirdly , are you sure Brandys pregnant with your baby ? I ask with a smirk and Tristan looks at me confused . You know shes pregnant , Elena , she told you herself that shes pregnant with my baby Tristan says and I nod my head as I grab my phone from my bag and pull up the text chat I had with Brandy over a month ago before I finally blocked her ass and I showed it to Tristan . You see what happened was Brandy was being her usual cocky and arrogant self thinking she was getting to me and she was getting a rise out of me but she ended up angering herself and revealing something awful to me and she didnt seem too bothered about revealing this juicy piece of disturbing information if you ask me . What is this , Elena ? What does it look like ? It looks like some bullshit to me Tristan says whilst handing my phone back to me and I sigh . Its not bullshit , Tristan , its the truth , Brandy had an abortion over a month ago because she didnt want some little brat her words not mine , to ruin her career and she was planning on telling you she had a miscarriage so that you wont leave her I dont believe this Fine I say while nodding my head slightly . If thats the case then tell me why the number is the same as the one in your phone ? 6/7 +10 Point Chapter 8 Exposing Brandys Li … Tristan looks at me shocked before grabbing hold of his own phone and comparing the two numbers . I felt bad when his shoulders sagged as his face contorted to a heartbroken expression when he realised the texts were real . A part of me wished that I hadnt told him about this but Im glad that I did because I wasnt the only one out of the two of us who was desperate to have a child , Tristan was as well and he deserved to know the truth about the type of woman hes with . Mr and Mrs Lockwood I sneered when I heard someone calling me Mrs Lockwood but my mood quickly changed when I looked up and I saw my lawyer standing next to Tristans lawyer . Can you come with us , please ? My lawyer said and I excitedly stood up and followed them feeling excited that this awful period in my life as well as Tristans reign of torture and control over me was finally going to be over and done with .
