I never thought I’d see my ex-husband Liam and my former best friend Daria again, but two years after our divorce, they showed up — and tried to mock me. Little did they know, things had changed.
Liam and I were married for three years, living a simple, steady life that felt like a dream after my chaotic childhood. We both had decent jobs and shared one big goal: starting a family. After years of trying, I finally became pregnant, and we were overjoyed. Sadly, I miscarried at eleven weeks and focused on healing through counseling and support groups.
Liam, however, grew distant. I thought he was grieving in his own way — until the day I came home early and found him with Daria. Heartbroken, I quietly asked them to leave, changed the locks, and filed for divorce. Liam and Daria stayed together, even posting vacation photos online just a week later. It hurt deeply, but I unfollowed them and focused on rebuilding my life. The divorce was tough, but I managed to keep the house and later sold it to start fresh. With determination and the help of an investor, I opened my own restaurant, Gracie’s Table, which soon became a huge success.
