Savannah
When I wake up I see I’ve got over a hundred messages on my phone. I know instantly something has happened. I scroll through them and see most of them are from my father and a few are from friends. A chill runs down my back when I see one of the articles someone sent me. It’s there right in front of my face and I can’t ignore it.
Billionaire Aiden Clark annuls marriage to heiress Savannah Matthews
“Shit.” I toss my phone on the bed and cringe. This is why my father is calling and texting me nonstop.
I was hoping I had a few more days to prepare for what was coming but I guess I don’t get that luxury. Not now that Aiden is in love. I roll my eyes and get out of bed. It’s not that Caroline isn’t great or that I don’t want Aiden to be happy. We just agreed that this was the deal and then he went back on it. I can’t blame him, but I need to blame someone and I’m not taking any responsibility for it. I’ve kept my end of the deal. It’s everyone around me who’s always breaking their word.
My phone vibrates again and I assume it’s my father, but when I look down I see Wyatt’s name. The first time we met we were fourteen and in high school. Wyatt was mine and Aiden’s lawyer since we got married. Aiden and I used him for everything, including our prenuptial agreement and now annulment. He’s probably seen the news, but I don’t know why he would be calling me since Aiden is the one he usually deals with.
Wyatt Carmichael is the cockiest asshole I’ve ever met and it’s part of what makes him a great lawyer. Even when we were kids and he didn’t have much, he still walked in every room like he owned it. Like we were all there for him. I hated him the first time I saw him and nothing has changed since then. It’s just too bad my body never got the message.
He’s loud and doesn’t care that people are annoyed by him. He’s inconsiderate of people’s feelings and never apologizes for anything. Yet when I think about that dark beard and what it would feel like on the insides of my thighs I can hardly think straight.
I sigh as I go to my bathroom and get in the shower. I hate Wyatt, but my lady business wants him more than anyone else. Ever. It’s just too bad I can’t have him. The whole reason I married Aiden was because my father wouldn’t allow me to be with anyone else. Even if I didn’t love him. I was forced into every path I’ve ever taken and I knew with one look at Wyatt that he was a path I could never take.
The message from Wyatt said I need to come by his office today and finish signing the paperwork. I thought I signed all I needed to, but I don’t really remember that clearly. I was upset when I scribbled my name on the form Aiden gave me and I probably did it in the wrong place.
When I’m finished in the bathroom I grab a cream-colored dress and a pair of heels. I tie my hair back in a low ponytail and then put on some lipstick. I don’t really want to get dressed up, but it’s been ingrained in me for so long that appearances matter and I have to go through the motions.
I grab my bag on the way out and then drive towards downtown. Aiden was the one who wanted to live in the suburbs, but I miss the city. He said I got the house, but I wonder if that means I can sell it? I don’t need all that space, but I doubt my father would approve the sale. He’s still guardian of my trust and he uses it against me every chance he gets.
Before I go to Wyatt’s office I decide to stop for a coffee. I park the car and get out, and when I get inside I see there’s a couple of people in line. I pull out my phone while I wait and scroll my Instagram.
I’m looking through pictures of my cousin’s new little baby and smiling when I hear someone whisper behind me.
“Can you believe it? How awful must she have been for her husband to never fuck her?” I feel my neck get hot as I turn around and see two girls behind me trying to hide their laughter.
Maybe they were talking about someone else? I’m famous because of my family, but it’s not like I’m a celebrity or anything.
The person in front of me is called forward and I go back to my phone. I’m just about to put it away and order my coffee when I see someone has tagged me in a post. I click on it and my blood runs cold when I see the gossip site has posted my medical records and has the word VIRGIN splashed across the screen.
