Chapter 41:
The next day, Miguel woke up extra early and made sure that he did not wake Charity.
He left her a note in the bathroom mirror saying that he had to go to work early today, but the
truth was that he was going to go file for a divorce. He had made his decision. He wanted his
life to be with Kay. And Ricky.
Once the papers were signed up and everything, {a/n: sorry i'm not too familiar with
divorce procedures and i dont know how long it takes. don't hold it against me. lol. let's just
say that in this fic it takes the span of one day.} he headed back home. It was around 3 in the
afternoon. Charity was home, not doing much, watching TV. She looked bored. Boy was
Miguel going to shock her with his life-changing news!!
"Hi, Charity," Miguel said neutrally, trying to mask the guilt in his voice. HE was
happy but he knew that soon his wife was NOT going to be.
"Hi, Miguel," Charity said, standing up and kissing him hello.
That could be our last shared kiss, Miguel thought to herself. It didn't make him sad, it
was just so.... final. Six to eight years ago, I thought I would die without Charity. We were
going to get married and live happy lives together. But now, things have changed. Kay
entered my love life and gave me a son. Charity and I are married now but I'm not completely
happy. At least not the way I could be happy with Kay. So I'm divorcing Charity. I love Kay.
And only Kay.
"Umm, there's something I need to discuss with you, Char," Miguel said uneasily. It
wasn't going to be a piece of cake to tell Charity this news.
"Yeah, what?" Charity said. She sat down next to him, an odd expression crossing her
face once she saw how uncomfortable he looked.
"I filed for divorce," Miguel said as quickly as he could. He knew it was going to be
hard to say those words so he figured the best way to say it was fast in order to get it over
with.
She stared back at him, a shadow of shock crossing her features. Her mouth was open
but she didn't say anything. Oh My God, she thought to herself in a panicky fashion. Does
this have to do with Kay?! Damn that bitch if she caused this!
"You WHAT?!" she finally managed out, tears coming to her eyes.
"I'm sorry but I can't be with you anymore!" She wasn't making it any easier for him.
"WHY NOT?" she practically screamed.
"Because of many things. I found out about the threats you made to Kay and Ricky. I
can't live with a person who took my son away from me for four years. And besides, I don't
love you!"
He didn't like the way he was hurting her - it was like they were in a boxing match and
he was delivering blow after blow to her. But the more he spoke, the easier it became to tell
her everything.
"Miguel, NO!" she yelled. "I DID threaten her but only because I wanted you for
myself. I LOVED you. I STILL love you!" She tried to kiss him to prove how much she loved
him, but he resisted her smooch.
"I'm sorry, Charity," Miguel said, standing up. "I'm going to leave."
"NO!" she yelled, louder than before, jumping up from her seat. "Miguel, I swear if
you leave I'll..."
"You'll what?" he asked a bit concerned, a bit exasperated.
She sounded menacing and threatening. "I'll kill Kay and Ricky this time. I promise I
will!"
He was silent for a minute as he thought about what she was suggesting.
Ahah! Charity thought to herself. Seems like that did the trick. He'll stay with ME!
She began to smile. But boy she was wrong!!
"Do you think I'm stupid?" he asked her, almost laughing in her face. "My brother is
a cop after all, I did learn a thing or two. I got a restraining order {a/n: once again, i know zilch
about this topic, but make do with it for this fic ok?!} against you and I'm going to make sure
Kay has one, too!"
She stared at him, shocked. There was nothing she could do now. He had cornered her.
She had no choice but to give in.
"I'm leaving today, after I pack up all of my stuff!" he added.
"NO!" she groaned, falling to the floor. This couldn't be happening! Miguel is noble,
he wouldn't do this! He would NEVER divorce me! I thought he meant it when he said 'till
death do us part!' I can't believe this is happening.....
He extended his hand to her, his palm open. He looked impatient like he wanted her to
give him something.
"What do you want, Miguel?" she managed to ask through her sobs.
"Your wedding ring," he said calmly.
More tears formed in her eyes. She didn't want to take it off but she knew she had to.
But she couldn't. It was as if her fingers went numb and she was so jaded that she couldn't
remove it herself. He bent down and took the ring off of her finger himself. It was rather ironic
that just a year after he put that ring on her finger, he was taking it off. She looked at her
wedding ring finger. It seemed so lonely without the beautiful rock that was on it before. Soon
Charity was going to be just as lonely......
After taking the ring from her, he walked out of the room without saying a word.
The discussion was closed. He was definitely going to divorce her now. No going back.
Kay won, Charity thought silently to herself as she sat down on the couch, horror
creeping into her veins, her world falling apart. Even after all this time, she won. Damn her to
hell! Charity threw the expensive vase Grace had once given her at the wall in anger. It
crashed, never to be fixed again - just like her heart. {a/n: i liked this part and i hope u did too.
symbolism's cool and i wanted to incorporate it into the fic. ok. done talking. back to the
story...}
Charity watched Miguel walk out of the house a little bit later, never to return again.
She cried uncontrollably. Who do I have now? she thought to herself. Grace died and Miguel
is gone. I have nothing to live for.
Meanwhile as Miguel stepped out of the house and put his belongings in the car, he
couldn't help look back at the home that house had once been. A pang of regret clouded over
him - regret for marrying Charity in the first place. He never should have gone back to her
after Kay left Harmony. But it was too late to think about that. He had to go back to me now.
He couldn't wait.
{A/N: Ok Kaguel fans this is it. NO MORE CHARITY!!! ya!! What you have been
waiting for (a kaguel reunion, an official 1 at that) is in the next chapters. there are 3-5 more
chapters left. all kaguel. enjoy!}
