funny divorce short stories
“Why don’t you just admit that I am a better version of you, and you are repulsed by it? Do I make you anxious, Elma?" Unable to live together, the Wistold couple filed for divorce but received the opposite of what they had hoped for. Instead of the peaceful divorce they were expecting, the court suddenly decreed that they had 180 days to sort out their marriage. Stating that if they failed to reconcile before the end of the 180 days, their divorce suit would be processed, and they could go their separate ways. But Elma was unable to live with her husband for another day, so Elma Wistold decided to take matters into her own hands. Why get stuck with a man that she didn’t love when she could just find a replacement? To pursue her love and happiness, Elma found a substitute, a lookalike who was not only desperate but was also determined to fulfill her duties. Sarah was just a low-class girl trying to make her family happy when a proposal was brought to her; all she had to do was become Elma Wistold for some time. Left with no other choice but to accept the offer, Sarah moves into the Wistold home, ready to be a mother to Elma’s kids and a wife to Anthony Wistold. She was the complete opposite of Elma and did everything contrary to what Elma would do. But what would happen when Anthony started getting attracted to Sarah? Wanting to make things work between him and his estranged wife, he was ready to spoil her rotten with everything that he owned. What will happen to Sarah when she starts getting greedy for a family that was never hers from the beginning? What will happen when Anthony solves the mystery of why and how his new wife changed all of a sudden? Will he be able to accept the truth when it finally comes out, considering the fact that he was getting comfortable with his estranged wife? Most importantly, what will the three of them do if Elma returns to her old life? What will be the fate of the three? Stay tuned for more. ** “Being Elma Wistold is tougher than walking on flames, you got to be tough and pretend you are a queen” “Here is one concept I realised today, our life is a novel and I am not the heroine. Elma is like an anti-heroine, she became tough and selfish because life made her that way” “And I am selfless because my parents raised me that way, I think she is the better version of this twins. She is the heroine and I am just a supporting character, she got it all and I crave for everything which is hers” “So who better to tell the story than me? The supporting character” A tear dropped on the page, will I ever get what I crave for?
A short read but a really good story. Would want to read more stories and longer stories from the author. This book also reminds me on how you should be fighting for your marriage and throwing "divorce" out the window before even trying to solve things
