💔 Shayla Wants to Divorce Anthony and Change Kai’s Name — While Amber Is Back in the Picture
💔 Shayla Wants to Divorce Anthony and Change Kai’s Name — While Amber Is Back in the Picture
🌪️ Chapter 1: Cracks in the Foundation
It had been months since Shayla and Anthony’s last genuine smile together. Their marriage, once full of shared dreams and laughter, had turned into cold silence and passing arguments. Shayla had been patient — hoping things would improve, especially for Kai's sake. But lately, Anthony had grown even more distant, staying out late, and becoming secretive with his phone.
Deep down, Shayla knew.
She knew it wasn’t just stress. It was Amber.
💡 Chapter 2: Shayla’s Breaking Point
One rainy Tuesday morning, Shayla stood in the kitchen holding a cup of coffee when her phone lit up with a message from Cocoa:
"Amber was seen at the field again with Anthony. Just a heads up."
Her hand trembled.
It wasn’t just that Amber was back. It was that Anthony had been hiding it. Again.
That was Shayla's final straw. She picked up her phone and called her lawyer.
“I want to start the process,” she said coldly.
“Divorce. And I want Kai’s last name changed. I don’t want him tied to Anthony’s name anymore.”
🧾 Chapter 3: The Legal Wheels Turn
Shayla met with her lawyer the following morning. Dressed in gray slacks and her hair in a tight bun, she came not as a wife—but as a mother ready to protect her child.
“He’s not acting like a husband. He’s not acting like a father. I don’t want my son carrying a name that’s attached to broken promises.”
The lawyer agreed to file both the petition for divorce and a motion to legally change Kai’s surname to Shayla’s maiden name: Vaxter.
Shayla left the office feeling a strange mix of pain… and power.
🌾 Chapter 4: Amber Is Back in the Field
Meanwhile, Amber had been making silent moves. Word around town was that she was “just visiting,” but everyone knew better. She had returned to the same small field where she and Anthony first met. The same place where they used to talk about building a life together.
On the third day, someone spotted them together — walking, talking, laughing. A connection still simmered between them.
Amber wasn't officially back in Anthony’s life — but she wasn’t out either.
And Shayla knew it.
💬 Chapter 5: Anthony Gets Served
Anthony came home late that Thursday. He opened the mailbox and found a large brown envelope waiting inside.
He had been served.
Divorce papers.
And a request to change Kai’s name.
He stormed into the apartment, slamming the door shut.
“You serious right now, Shayla?” he yelled.
“Dead serious,” Shayla said, calm but fierce.
“You gave up on us the moment you walked back into that field with Amber.”
Anthony was speechless. The only thing louder than his silence was Shayla's determination.
👶 Chapter 6: The Fight Over Kai
Anthony tried to fight the name change. He still wanted to be part of Kai’s life — or so he claimed. But Shayla wasn’t convinced.
“If you care so much, where were you when he needed you? Where were you on his last birthday? Or that school meeting?” she demanded in court.
The judge took her words seriously.
The battle for Kai’s name — and custody — had officially begun.
🌅 Chapter 7: Amber on the Sidelines
Amber had been watching all of it unfold quietly. She hadn’t replied to Anthony’s texts in two days. Part of her regretted ever returning. Another part wanted to stay close — in case Anthony really wanted her back.
But now that Shayla was divorcing him and dragging him through court, Amber realized: this wasn’t her fight.
She was “in the field” but not in Anthony’s heart.
Not the way she thought.
💔 Chapter 8: A Woman Reborn
Shayla stood tall outside the courthouse after a long day of hearings. The sun was setting behind her, and Kai held her hand tightly.
“Are we gonna be okay, Mom?” he asked.
“We already are,” she said softly.
She didn’t need Anthony. She didn’t need his name.
All she needed was peace, freedom, and her son.
And she was finally walking toward it.
