"Chris?" Stephanie called, cautiously knocking the door of her husband's study. "What?" Chris answered, annoyance already seeping into his voice. "We need to talk." "About?" "Divorce." Stephanie said simply, holding her breath.

Just as she had expected, Chris was out of the room in a flash. "What the fuck do you mean, 'divorce'?" "I mean I'm taking Aja, Rylee, and Paige and leaving, for good." "You ungrateful bitch. After he left you broken apart, I picked up the pieces. I made you the woman you are today." Chris growled, back handing her.

"I'm supposed to be grateful for you making me who I am today? What have you made me, baby? A statistic, a shell, a shadow of the woman I once was? Yea, thanks, Chris. Thanks a lot." She said sarcastically, almost hysterically, clutching her jaw.

She turned her back on the disgusted blond, and headed downstairs where she called Hunter. "I did it." She exclaimed. "You left him?" "Yea. He hit me and tried to guilt trip me, but it'll be worth it." "Where are you and the girls staying?" "Good question." "I have a suite with 3 rooms. You guys can stay with me." Hunter offered, cherishing the sound of her voice. "Thank you, Hunter. Thank you for everything." Stephanie breathed, hanging up with a rush. Everything was falling into place. Finally.

A/N: It's 3:35, but I finished it, Nicole. Happy? LOL.
