Divorced But Never Letting Go
While she’s at home preparing dinner for him, he’s out on dates. While she’s drinking with men to secure a business deal for him, he’s announcing his single status to boost his stock. When she drags herself to the hospital with a high fever, he’s there at the same hospital, caring for René—his mistress. She loved him for ten years, gave everything she had, and did everything she could for him. She never believed their love could die. Yet, it did. She doesn’t hate him; she’s simply exhausted, so she decides to leave.
Only then does she find a firm chest and a warm embrace that had been waiting for her all along. With her first taste of true love, she realizes how much time she wasted with her ex, a man who never truly loved her.
When he comes home one day, he’s shocked to find the woman who had always been there for him is gone. Regret floods him, and he chases after her, only to see another man by her side, taking sacred vows with her, their hands intertwined. In that moment, he realizes he’s lost the innocent girl who once loved him—the most precious treasure he ever had. And now, she’s gone forever.

Chapter: Sixty OneOLIVIAI called Cyril multiple times and he wasn't taking my calls. I was mad at myself for agreeing to call him, knowing that he was most likely not to respond.Despite the snub, I was excited that Adrian was there to witness everything, to avoid making it seem like I was telling a lie.“I do hope you can witness what's happening. I don't want to believe that I am seeing things that aren't real. This is the third time I am going to call him. If he refuses to take my call, I'm going to block him for good. He won't dare reach me on other social media platforms, too,” I told Adrian. I also warned him not to dare change my mind because I would never listen to him.“Take a chill pill. It's too early to conclude. Has it gotten to that extent? I don't know you to be this harsh. Perhaps, he wasn't next to his phone; hence he didn't pick up,”Adrian defended Cyril for the second time. I terminated the call to focus my attention on him.“What did you just say? Whose side are you on? Did Cyril

Chapter: SixtyOLIVIA“So, what do you think? You haven't said anything to me. Wouldn't that be nice?” Adrian asked again after not getting a response the first time.“I honestly don’t know how I feel about this. Don’t you think it’s a bit of a rush? We should take it easy. I am still experiencing a difficult phase in life that’s taking almost an eternity for me to heal. Why do I have a feeling that talking about shopping is a bit frivolous?” I lamented.“Frivolous? What do you even mean by that? I don’t understand why you keep seeing this as a big deal. It’s just normal shopping. What’s the big deal here? You are going to love it too,” Adrian added, doing everything possible to make me come with him, yet I was proving too stubborn.“Ma’am, let’s do this. You don’t have to be worried about it. It might just turn out to be a relief from the stress you’ve been through lately. Think about it,” Kate chimed in. She made a good point, but regardless of what she said, I still didn’t see enough reason to ab

Chapter: Fifty NineOLIVIAIt was me alone with Rene in a face-off that was most likely to shake the whole city.“So, it was you all along? I just knew that you had something to do with this,” Rene cried.“Yes, it was me. Now you found out. What are you going to do about it?” I folded my arms.“Why are you running away from me like a coward? I thought you were the smart money woman. Speaking about money, don't you think our agreement is long overdue?” She diverted the discourse to suit her purpose.I knew the next thing on her bucket list was to expose my dirty little marital secret. That was the moment I knew violence wasn't an option. To protect my integrity, I opted for peace instead.“Can we go talk about this in my office? I wouldn't want my staff prying in my affairs,” I whispered to her.The staff were starting to get nosy, too. Which equally means that my secret was on the verge of being exposed.“I didn't come here to dine with you. You should know better. You have sixty seconds to get this done

Chapter: Fifty EightOLIVIAI didn’t make a move to approach Rene to avoid causing a scene that would affect the company. I wouldn’t want the staff to find out about my marriage scandals.It’s most likely to headline the front pages of every media outlet before the day runs out.Quietly, I sneaked outside to reach out to Kate over the phone. She’s in a better position to explain to me what Rene was doing in my company.“Pick up the damn phone, Kate. What are you doing? You should be next to your phone should any emergency arise.” I fumed. It was just a matter of time before I lost my temper and approached Rene violently.“Hello, ma’am. Good morning to you. Where are you now? Are you anywhere close to the company? I’m sorry I missed your call. I was in the restroom. I just got back and realized you’ve been calling me for so long now,” Kate finally answered the phone just when I was close to giving up.“Damn, your greetings. I should be asking you that question. What the heck is Rene doing in my company? I

Chapter: Fifty sevenOLIVIAI got to my car with a wounded soul. I was too heartbroken to drive.The hot tears gushing down my eyes succeeded in ruining my makeup. What was left of me was my natural face that had been dented.I tried to drive out but couldn't. I find myself being laid back a couple of times already.A voice said to me, “You're not going to sit back and watch your life get destroyed, would you? Call Cyril and put an end to this madness.” I wasn't sure what voice that was or if it meant well to me.Somehow, I was forced to believe the voice as I picked up my phone to call Cyril over the phone.Twice I called, and not for once did he respond. I didn't feel bad because I knew he wasn't going to answer the phone immediately after what had happened between us in recent times.Just when I thought he was going to snub me for eternity, my phone rang. Who else would it be if not Cyril?I took a deep breath to assure myself, “Olivia, you can do this. Don't give him the slightest idea that you're dow

Chapter: Fifty SixOLIVIA“Kate, you evil bitch. How dare you hang up the phone on me?” I fumed.“Don't bother trying to reach out to me. I am not going to respond. We need you at the company. The other staff members won't stop asking me about you. I don't know what to say to them. I don't know how long I want to keep lying to them,” That was the text I received from Kate.“The staff can't wait to see me? What exactly is going on? Are they aware of what's going on in my marriage?” I thought to myself. There was nobody around to provide the answer. I was left alone to figure out a way out.I got fed up trying to reach out to her and decided to go take my bath.I got dressed up in my favorite blue suit and skirt. I had my bodily applied make-up to brighten up my face a bit. I would rather not attend to clients looking so depressed. I styled my hair to make it appear more attractive.It wasn't my birthday, neither was I going out for a date. Yet, I spent five minutes in front of the mirror stand, trying to
