30 Days till I Divorce My Husband (Estrella and Jason)

Chapter 59
“And then there's Bryce and Thomas. They couldn't convince me to get a
divorce, so off you shipped them to the highlands to build schools. And in all
these years, when have you ever come home without giving me the cold
shoulder?”
Estrella had a laundry list of grievances that she couldn't even begin to tally up,
and frankly, she couldn't be bothered to itemize them to him. She had never been
one to dredge up the past. Usually, she'd let bygones be bygones. But Jason
was relentless, picking fights every chance he got.
Like when she'd just come home. Estrella had been in a good mood, trying to
chat with him. He was snippy, but she let it slide-only for him to escalate it into a
full-blown row, even using her family as leverage. Even the saintliest patience
has its limits.
As Jason was about to retort with a stern face Estrella cut in, “This morning at the
family estate was just the same. You made promises in front of everyone, and
then behind their backs/you dismissed it all as lip service. Jason, do you really
think I have no self-respect? That I can be walked all over?”
By now, Estrella had regained her composure and continued, “Jason, my
patience isn’t endless. I won't keep indulging you. So, don't put too much stock in
those fortune-tellers’ words. I haven't tried being with anyone else. How do you
know I can't live without you?”
Even as she spoke, Estrella was striving to keep her emotions in check. It wasn't
just the prophecies that mattered to her; it was the years of connection they
shared. She remembered her mother always saying that the first person she saw
when she was born was Jason. And so, she cherished that bond.
One could only imagine the storm clouding Jason's face at her words. Having
known Estrella for 23 years, he understood her temperament. She wasn’t one for
conflict or wasting words, but when truly upset, she wouldn't hesitate to get real.
This was the second time in months that they'd had a point-by-point argument,
and both times, it was over Korey. He was bothered by it.
As the tension between them thickened, Estrella’s phone abruptly rang from her
pocket. It was Thomas.
Without any secrecy, Estrella answered in front of Jason, putting the call on
speaker. “What's up, Thomas?” Her voice, as always, was bold and hearty.
On the other end, Thomas sounded desperately pathetic. “Ella, I really need your
help this time.”
Estrella glanced at Jason expressionlessly, then prompted, “Go on.”
“I've escaped from the school project, and Jason caught wind of it. I heard
Bryce’s already been through the wringer. Ella, you've got to save me.

Calmly, Estrella asked, “And how am I supposed to do that?”
“Look, just temporarily convince Jason that you're considering the divorce. I don't
need you to actually go through with it, just help me buy some time. After all,
Jason's been itching for a divorce for a while now.”
His plea was almost comical to Estrella. Her marria
for others to curry favor.
was nothing but a bargaining chip
After a brief, self-deprecating chuckle, Estrella said, “Fine. Not just a temporary
lie-I'll even agree to a real divorce for your sake.”
Thomas was nearly moved to tears. “Ella, I can't thank you enough. I owe you
big time. If you really split with Jason, I'll set you up with someone decent.
Someone more straight-laced than Jason, who won't mess around or leave you
lonely.”
Every word Thomas said was a stinging satire of Estrella’s marriage. Estrella
laughed it off. “Alright, I'll hold you to that promise of a good man.”
Jason, meanwhile, was seething, his face a picture of disgust. In their eyes, his
marriage. to Estrella was a sham.
As Thomas gushed his thanks, Jason strode over, snatched the phone from
Estrella, and hung up.
Estrella, unfazed, remarked, “You heard the call. Whenever you're ready, let's get
the paperwork sorted.”
Her sarcastic tone was not lost on Jason. “So, our marriage is just at everyone
else's disposal?”
“It's mutually beneficial,” Estrella shrugged. “Doesn’t matter who calls the shots.”
“Mutually beneficial? For you or for me?” Jason challenged, cupping her chin
before leaning in to claim her lips.

However, as for Bryce and Thomas, those two rascals needed a lesson. Since
when did he ask them to push for a divorce? Damn it, both meant more trouble
than they were worth.
As Jason's kisses became almost suffocating, Estrella, her face flushed, finally
pushed him away. “Have you no shame?”
