Divorce Has Never Felt So Good 21
Adira's heart stopped as she caught sight of Nikolai, standing before her in his impeccably tailored suit. He looked every bit as cold as he used to be, his chiseled features betraying no hint of emotion. His sharp gaze locked onto hers, holding her in a moment of silence that seemed to stretch on for an eternity. With winded breath, Adira watched as his eyes slowly lowered dropped to the floor, taking in a sharp shard of glass that was right there. Her legs wobbled. Oh, no! Yvonne must've missed it while clearing up the glasses! Her skin prickled with fear. Was he going to have any hint of it?"Good evening," she greeted quickly, lowering her head afterwards. Then, she turned around to leave. "Adira." His deep cold voice made her freeze. It was deep, almost guttural, and the coldness that emanated from it made her shiver. Her body went rigid as she heard her name being called out in that voice. For the first time since they got married, he had addressed her by her name. The we

Nikolai's face morphed into a mask of cold fury, his eyes blazing with anger. The thought of Vesper laying his hands on Adira hit him like a thunderbolt and made the air around him cackle with his emotions.How could he? How could he lay his hands on his Adira?He visualized him ripping off her shirt and making her scared. How dare he?His breathing was ragged, and his chest heaved with the depth of his emotions. Lowering his gaze to his desk, he asked in a low and dangerous voice: "Did he... succeed?""Not at all, sir! He stopped as soon as I stepped in. Thankfully, I arrived just in time. I promise, he didn't go far," Yvonne answered quickly. Then, in a swift move, Nikolai stood up, grabbed his car keys and stormed out of the room. Yvonne was frightened. Where was he going?She followed him out of the room but couldn't throw questions at him or run after him.Nikolai got out of the house and into one of his cars. His body guards ran after him. "Sir! Are you heading out?" They in

It was a new day. Adira had so many thoughts running through her mind as her car rode into Yonder Dynamics.Since the previous night, she's never had a reason to smile, thinking of all that had happened and how she had been abused by Vesper. Another thought that hurt her was the fact that Nikolai had noticed the mark on her face but did nothing about it. He didn't even try to know what happened. How was he that stone-hearted?Even that morning, she didn't see him before leaving the house. When Logan went to his room to call him down for breakfast, he insisted on being served in his room and didn't want to come downstairs. It made Adira think he was trying to avoid her even more.Her car stopped in front of the company, and with her door being opened, she stepped out of it and proceeded to the elevator.Bonnie was already on her desk when she arrived, and as soon as she saw her, she sprang to her feet."Good morning, ma'am! II've been waiting for you." She was effusive."Good morning,

Things at the office went smoothly that day for Adira. By mid-day after lunch, she was walking back to her office with Bonnie behind her when her phone started ringing. And after checking the caller ID, she discovered it was Mrs. Bellamy.Adira was a little anxious. Any call from Nikolai's family at that moment would get her really nervous as a result of what had happened.She took a deep breath before receiving the call."Good day, mom." She smiled like she could see her."Oh! Adira, dear. How're you doing?""I'm great. You?"At this time, she had gotten to her office and was taking her seat."Well, let's just say I'm fine. So sorry, I wanted to call earlier, but I've been so busy and didn't have the time." Her voice had turned a little sad.Adira just listened."I'm really sorry, dear, about what happened with Vesper. That boy has always been a stubborn brat, but I never thought he'd go this far. You didn't get badly hurt, did you?"Adira's throat had constricted as her eyes widene

Adira picked a red knee-length dress for work the following morning. Then, she styled her hair and applied some light makeup. For the first time in twenty-one months, she'd be meeting with her ex-husband and she wanted to create a good impression to make her plan work. With a smug smile on her lips, she exited the room, her heels clacking against the staircase as she descended. But she stiffened when she caught a glimpse of Nikolai in the living room. He was on a phone call and had his back against her, and that moment as she watched him from behind, she felt her heart throb. She slackened her steps but eventually got to where he was, and her legs wobbled when he turned to look at her. She swallowed hard and dropped her gaze quickly. "Good morning." She courtesied. Was it just her imaginations, or was he looking exceptionally handsome that morning?Oh! He had a new haircut - she noticed. "Good morning," his cold, but charming voice came. Adira developed conflicting thoughts, w

The entire ride to the office, Adira was absent-minded and kept thinking about Jared. She couldn't stop wondering who he was and how he had been able to know something so deep about her.Could it be possible he got the information from someone close to the family? But who could that person even be? It was disturbing.She had her gaze pinned to the window until the car rode into the company and pulled to a stop. Her door was immediately opened for her, and she stepped out with Bonnie, who had been in the front seat the whole time.Heads bowed in respect as she walked past a lot of people, and when she got to the ground floor, one of the receptionists sprang to her feet."Good morning, ma'am. The guest you've been expecting is already here. I asked him to wait outside your office," she informedAdira's eyes beamed. Her guest? That must be Lancelot. She had informed the receptionist

Gently, Adira turned to look at him, and their eyes locked for a few seconds."Yes?" She raised her brows.Surprisingly, Nikolai stood up and began walking towards her. This made Adira a little nervous. What was he trying to do?She doesn't associate so well with Nikolai, so movements like that were bound to get her really nervous.She stood like a frozen statue until he got to where she was and stood behind her. Then, the next thing Adira felt were his hands on her dress. Huh?Her palms became sweaty as she felt him work on her zip, pulling it up. It was obvious it wasn't completely zipped up before. She didn't even notice, and neither did Yvonne.But Nikolai getting it done for her stunned her. She never expected him to show concern, talk more about zipping her dress.When he was done, she lowered her head as he walked back to his cushion."Thank you," she uttered.Nikolai simply nodded and took up his glass of wine, and at that moment, Adira wondered if she was to say more. Perhaps

Adira's heart raced as she entered the lavish party hall with Nikolai, her hands clammy with nervousness. Her mind was still reeling from the words he said to her in the car, and even when she tried to push them away, the weight of his misunderstanding hung heavy over her. Obviously, he thought she was some cheap, weak-hearted lady who was trying to crawl her way back to her married ex. Christ! She couldn't let him stay with such thoughts in his head. She couldn't let him think so low of her. She needed a way to explain things to him. But something else still bothered her - how did he get to know of the date? She'd made sure she went alone and even reserved a private garden. So, how did he find her? Even before they got married, Nikolai knew a lot about her, from her failed marriage to her name and even where she lived. He knew so much about her! Was it possible he had eyes on her? Perhaps he hired a spy to always follow her around? But why would he do that? The sound of glasses

76Blood gushed from his head, he staggered and his entire body lost balance.Lyra took a step back, the blood-stained knife in her hand. And as soon as she did, the mighty Jagger slumped to the floor.Lyra watched with shaky breath as he writhed and gasped for air. Fearfully, she watched and could do nothing.His widened eyes looked at her, calling for help. Until finally, he stopped struggling. His eyes remained open, but she could tell they weren't alive anymore. He was...dead.The knife fell off her hand, and only then did she realize the gravity of what she had done. With her bare hands, she just killed her own father. She killed him!"No..." She muttered inaudibly, fear eating her up.Disgust crawled into her stomach, making her throw up instantly in the room. Tears spilled from her eyes as she dabbed her lips and looked at her father's corpse on the floor. How did she become this? How could she become this?"No!" She let out a painful cry. Her anger had gotten the best of her.

Lyra walked into the house and found Jagger there in the living room, having some apples. He had a knife with which he cut out the apple before taking it into his mouth. He seemed so happy, while she was there, mourning."Lyra." He called, his mouth full with a chunk of apple. "You didn't tell me you were coming."Lyra's eyes were sore and swollen. She fixed her gaze on him as she dropped her bag on the parting table in the room."How do you do it?" She asked in a low tone. "How do you manage to stay so happy when our biggest plan crashed a week ago? You didn't even bother to comfort me, neither did you seem worried that we had lost a lot of money. You didn't even try to come up with an alternative or something. It's so unlike...you."Jagger scoffed. He sliced out a piece of apple and threw it into his mouth before looking at her."Did you say an alternative? What was I supposed to do? Point a gun at the Kensingtons and threaten them to transfer their wealth to me? You really think th

Bellamy and her husband ran into Nikolai's room and gasped when they found him awake on the bed. When Na-ri had called and told them about it, they couldn't believe. But finally setting their eyes on him..."My dear son..." She whimpered as she went closer, holding his hand. "Good Lord! You're awake."Nikolai was still lying on the bed, and his face etched with concern when his parents came in alone."Nik, how're you feeling?" Mr. Vincent asked, going to stand at the edge of the bed.Nikolai's eyes were fixed on the door, and when he didn't see who he was expecting, he looked at his parents."Where's she? Why isn't she here?" He asked feebly.Bellamy shared a glance with Na-ri. Na-ri had also told them over the phone that he was asking for Adira.Wearing a smile, Bellamy caresssed his hand."Son, you just woke up after a long time. I believe you need as much rest as you can get. Stop worrying about anyone and just...""Where's she?!" He half-yelled. It was now becoming obvious that so

Adira found it difficult believing Bellamy's words. Was she for real? How could this woman have the guts to say this to her face?She was hurt, she wouldn't deny; hurt that Nikolai had been processing their divorce. Of course, he told her about it. But now, it was just too difficult to believe.She sniffed as an uncontrolled tear dropped to her cheek. Looking up at Bellamy, she found no emotions on the woman's face. When did the woman change so much? She used to love her a lot.She looked at the paper again before pushing it away, towards Bellamy."I'm not signing it." She said in a hardened tone.Bellamy's brows furrowed in surprise. She never expected that rigidity from Adira."Are you being serious?" She scoffed. "Do you have any idea what I'm offering you? If you agree to sign these documents, I'll make sure we drop the charges against you and you can be out of jail. You'll be free."The temptation of the offer lingered on Adira's mind. Being in here for the past one week had not

It's been a week now.Vesper seemed to be the one benefitting more from the death of Mr. Thatcher as he felt there was no will to share. Due to Nikolai's absence, his position at the company had gotten pretty high. It was all he's ever wished for.His grandfather had been buried already, but the air at home was always tinged with sadness. He even had to move out of the mansion as he got tired of the unending gloom.He just finished from a meeting and was walking out with his assistant when a call came into his phone. It was Kalina again. He'd lost count of the number of times she had called him for the day, and it was becoming annoying already.Grudgingly, he answered the call."Finally! Someone decided to take my call." She exclaimed, her voice echoing with anger. "What is going on, Vesper? You have been ignoring me for ages now.""I was in a meeting, okay? And you were interrupting." His reply was peeved.Kalina scoffed, like she couldn't believe it. "Seriously? Now, I'm being a pes

Lyra ran into her father's house and fell onto the couch immediately, crying her eyes out. Jared was there as well, but neither of them said a word to Lyra as she wept profusely."All I needed was one more day." She whimpered, her face covered in her palms. "The will was to be ready today, and he'd have signed it already. My life would've been all better by now."Jagger had a glass of wine with him, and he sipped from time to time, saying nothing to his hurting daughter."Lyra, come on, it's enough." Jared rolled her eyes, tired of her whinging already."I'm also angry that the plan was ruined at the last minute, but you shouldn't kill yourself over it. With the rate at which you've been crying, you might actually fall sick."Lyra lifted her face from her palms to look at him."You think I'm worried about being sick right now? Do you have any idea what I've planned? How much that money was supposed to help me?" She pointed a hand to her chest."My life is ruined, Jared! But of course,

Adira let out a terrifying scream immediately, her eyes nearly bulging out of her sockets. The bag she held slipped to the floor, and her heart pounded repeatedly against her ribcage. She was too frightened to move and simply watched as blood gushed from his head. It didn't take long before people rushed out, drawn by her scream. First,it was Finn and his wife, followed by Vesper and Kalina. They all expressed great shock at the sight in front of them. "Grandpa!" Finn and Vesper ran to his unconscious body. His wheelchair had fallen along with him and was beside his body on the floor. From every indication, someone pushed him. Finn and Vesper were trying to get him from the floor when Bellamy came out. She gasped at the sight she found. "What the hell happened here? What happened to him?!" Her eyes were already sore. Nobody could say anything and instead, focused on getting the old man from the floor. Adira's heart raced heavily. She watched with bated breath as Finn and Vesper

Vesper walked back to her, a scrowl on his face."What nonsense are you spewing, Adira?"He asked hoarsely. "From what Na-ri said, you're the reason he got drunk and drove out in that state. So, why the fúck are you trying to point accusing fingers at me?"Adira rose to her feet, still maintaining a calm look."You shouldn't get so worked up. I'm just asking because, you seem to be the only one benefitting from all this.""Well, I didn't do it. So, watch your words." He glared at her and left.Adira fell back to her seat, finally letting her weakness shadow her features. Nikolai's condition was making her lose her mind. She knew Vesper had nothing to do with the accident, she was just upset that he was benefitting from it.****†****†****†Jared was in a bad mood and decided to stay home for the day. He was in his room when his phone started off beside him. Glancing at the screen, he discovered it was his father.He ignored it at first, not wanting to speak with the man. But he called a

68Nikolai's condition was very critical - the doctor said. They've done all they could for him at the moment, but he was still not regaining consciousness.Adira got to learn that the accident was so bad, and it was only by a miracle he had been able to come out of the car alive. This got her even more frightened. What would have happened if he wasn't lucky? How would she be able to live with herself, knowing she caused his death? Even if it was not entirely her fault, still it started with her.The following morning, most of the family members had to leave to take care of other things. Bellamy didn't want to go, but she was convinced by her husband that she needed a bath and a change of clothes.As for Adira, she couldn't go.When she had the chance to be alone with him, she went into the room and a tear dropped to her cheek. Her Nikolai wasn't looking any better.He had an oxygen pipe beneath his nose, had a big bandage wrapped around his head, his leg was placed on support and a d
