Divorced But Never Letting Go 110
OLIVIA“What are you doing here, Cyril? I wasn't expecting you,” I frowned and picked up my bag from the ground.“Hi, Olivia, can we please go inside the office and talk?” Cyril spoke softly.“You haven't answered my question, Cyril. What the hell are you doing here? I thought you said you never wanted to set your eyes on me again?” I fumed at him.I was doing everything possible to make him walk out in frustration, but it wasn't working. He made it clear that he wanted to stay and have a decent conversation with me.“Let's go inside. Five minutes is all you got. I've got other important business to tend to,” I finally agreed to let Cyril inside the office.From the way I treated him, it would be difficult for a total stranger to believe that he is the CEO of the Penhurst company.“You didn't pass the night at home. Where were you?” Cyril asked me just when I thought it couldn't get any worse.“Are you stalking me now? If this is the reason you're here, I guess I should just leave,” I

OLIVIA“You don’t intend to ignore her forever, do you? We both know that women are stubborn. She won’t stop calling until you answer the phone,” Kate asked me.“I can’t answer that. You already know the answer to my question, Kate,” I responded.I took my phone and declined the call. “I guess you’re happy now?”Not long after I declined the call, Cyril’s grandmother called again.I was confused. I felt immense pressure not to answer, but I had no choice. It was the powerful Miss Penhurst—she always got what she wanted, no matter how difficult it seemed.“Maybe you’re right. I should shun my fears and answer the phone. This might just be the perfect time for me to end this drama,” I told Kate.She didn’t respond. She wasn’t convinced I had the courage to do it.“Why weren’t you picking up my calls? Don’t you dare lie to me—I have my ears on the ground. I know your every step,” Miss Penhurst spoke in a placating tone, as if she had spies watching me.“I am deeply sorry for not taking y

RENEOver a week had passed since I confronted Olivia about her decision to divorce Cyril, yet no progress had been made.Cyril, for his part, had shown no real effort in finalizing it either. More often than not, he spent his time lamenting over Olivia rather than focusing on our future together.My mother, of course, was no exception.She continued to pressure me, relentless in her insistence that I compel Cyril into marriage.“Are you still here?”She barged into the living room, disrupting my television program without a second thought.I ignored her.I already knew what she was about to say.Not content with merely interrupting my show, she went a step further—snatching my phone right from my grasp.I attempted to take it back, but she held firm.I had no choice but to yield, fearing she might damage it in the process.“Mom, really?You had to seize my phone just to get my attention? Come on, you can do better,” I snapped.“If this is what it takes, then so be it. Tell me, why is

OLIVIAIt’s been over a week since Kate and I arrived in Paris, and it feels like my life has been restored to normal again.Never once did I imagine that I would be away for days, let alone weeks.It’s good to know I could finally function without showing up at work for a day.The thought of being away from Cyril and Rene motivated me to stay longer than I expected.If it wasn’t for Adrian, who keeps calling to remind me how much he misses me, I wouldn’t mind staying for a few more weeks.“So, when do you intend to go back to New York, ma’am?” Kate asked as we sat in the lounge of the hotel we’d checked into.“Go back home? I've never really thought of that. Do you still want to go home?” I responded to Kate's question with another question while I devoured my chicken wings to my satisfaction.If I was given the chance to decide, I would have a lot to start a new life in Paris. So far, the city has been conducive for myself and Kate.Imagine residing where nobody knows you. The liber

OLIVIA “Hi, Sugar.I just arrived in Paris. Can you please send me the address of your apartment or hotel? I would greatly appreciate that.”That was the first thing I saw on my phone when I woke up in the morning—a text from Adrian.The message caught me off guard. I never thought he was actually going to show up.It was too late to ignore him now that he was already in Paris. It would have been easier if he had called before visiting.A few minutes after I texted Adrian my hotel address, my phone rang.I didn't rush to answer because I assumed he was already close by.And when I finally summoned the courage to speak with him, the first thing he said was, “I am outside the hotel now. What’s your room number?”I panicked and became dumbfounded.If I hadn't known Adrian for too long, I would have believed that he finally possessed some supernatural powers that were making him appear at the destination of his choice."Are you there?I just asked you a question, Olivia," Adrian called m

OLIVIAI knew this was going to be a bad idea from the start. I shouldn't have told you about it. Now, look at what just happened," I lamented bitterly.A while ago, Adrian had given me the best sex of my life, and the next minute, I was already regretting my existence. My problems kept haunting me like prey."Hey, moon pie," Adrian murmured, pulling me closer.He had the sweetest touch—one I felt deep in my bones. And I wanted more. Just one more round before he finally departed for New York City."You know I love you, right? And I would sacrifice anything for your happiness," he whispered, kissing my forehead.I had no idea what Adrian was talking about, but I nodded anyway, keeping my fingers crossed in anticipation."Don't worry about the extra sum you'll have to pay once you leave the marriage. I've got everything planned out," Adrian assured me.“Is this a joke? Please don't pull my legs. I don't think I can endure this,”I doubted Adrian almost immediately.I thought it was one

OLIVIA“I will go through this in my spare time and get back to you. Presently, I just want to rest my head. I just got back not quite long ago,” I told the lawyer.On her way out of the house, I apologized for how I welcomed her into my home.I also explained how Cyril and Rene had been making my life miserable over the past few days.“I don't have much to say to you. Just endure. It's going to be over soon.” That was the advice I received from the lawyer before her final exit.After Selena’s exit, I went to my newly furnished apartment and started reading through the documents carefully.I had a feeling that Cyril was gonna show up, and he was the last person I expected to see.As I read through, I heard a knock on the door.I frowned because I thought it was Kate. I never wanted anyone to interrupt my leisure time.“I am coming, Kate. A moment, please. You don't have to keep banging the door like a thief,” I shouted.I dropped the documents on the sofa and went to open the door for

OLIVIA“The cops are here now. It has got to be them. You reached out to them, didn’t you?” Kate freaked out as she heard the siren of a car from a distance.She had every reason to believe they were driving toward my apartment.She wasn’t next to me, yet I could hear her heart pounding faster. Fear had taken the best part of her. What was left inside of her was emptiness.“Calm down, Kate. You don’t have to freak out like a suspect. The cops ain’t getting you arrested. The last time I checked, you murdered no one,” I assured Kate.It was precisely what she needed at that point."I'm scared! What if they start asking questions? I don't want to spend the rest of my life in jail," Kate cried as though she had just committed murder.To completely allay her fears, I got closer to Kate and held her head. “Listen to me, Kate. You don’t have to say a word. I will do the talking once they show up.”“I am calm now. I won’t freak out no more,” Kate assured me after making a cross sign.I placed

OLIVIA“I get the point now. You’re surprised by my sudden visit, aren’t you? I was heading to your apartment when I saw Cyril being dragged into a police vehicle like a criminal. I had a feeling he might have come here to do something stupid. I was also surprised that he knew your new address,” Adrian explained, satisfying my curiosity.I was relieved. Initially, I had been scared that I was imagining things that weren’t real.Adrian’s presence was undoubtedly what I needed most, especially when it felt like I was going astray.He was surely going to serve as my support system. Banking on Kate would have been the wrong choice, considering how shocked she had been when Cyril became unconscious.“Thank you for coming, Adrian. I must confess, you came at the right time. That son of a bitch almost had me. Thankfully, Kate came to my rescue. She hit his head with a vase,” I told Adrian.There was no way I could explain the whole scenario without mentioning Kate’s heroics.In all uncertain
