Winning Back His Ex's Wife's Broken Heart by Hayley

Chapter 01

Sarah's

POV

"Hello Mum, how are you doing?" I asked, genuinely wanting to think about anyone else but myself. My current situation in my marriage was weighing me down. Being in a loveless marriage or at least where the love was one-sided was a pain in the ass. I had to struggle every day to be noticed by my husband.

Granted our marriage had been a contract marriage - an agreement between his father and my grandfather -, with no promise of love but yet I found myself yearning for my husband to notice me. Richard had always been my crush right from high school but he had just never noticed me, always been too cool from day 1 to notice the nerdy girl in the corner. Even though I was more girlish now with curves and a D-sized cup, he still didn't see me. I guess it was once a nerd, always a nerd. "Sarah?"

Mum's voice pulled me out of my thoughts and I sighed. "I'm sorry Mum, what were you saying?"

"Are you okay? You sound worried." Sometimes her ability to read me even from far away was scary but that was one of the many things I loved about her. Lucia Williams was the perfect blend of sweet and spicy, a disciplinarian with an air of sweetness and a tender heart.

"Honestly, no." Then I proceeded to tell her about how things were. Starting from our wedding night when I thought he would at least touch me and I had been bursting at the seams with nerves. I didn't have to be so worried, he didn't even spend the night at home.

Walking into the store, I speed-dialed Mum and waited for her to answer the call while I eyed the different aisles of lingerie and underwear.
