Divorced But Never Letting Go Seventy Two
OLIVIA “Excuse me, Adrian. Do you two know each other before?” I asked Adrian out of curiosity. Their sudden bonding was getting to bore me. I couldn’t help but ask. It wasn’t too long before Adrian walked inside the station, and he was already exchanging pleasantries with one of the cops as though they’d known each other for a thousand years. “Oh, yes, we do know each other. Too bad I didn’t introduce him to you when I should have,” Adrian confirmed in a rush. He didn’t even wait for me to finish asking before responding. It was as though he knew I was going to ask the question. “Matthew and I used to be best friends way back in high school. Too bad he relocated to Germany with his parents,” Adrian further explained as his smiles widened to his ears. It was strange to see smiles on Adrian’s face after the shit I made him go through in recent times. It was the first time I’d met someone posing as Adrian’s friend. I used to believe that he was an introvert until that moment.

OLIVIA“What’s wrong with you, Olivia? Your phone is ringing. Why don’t you answer it? You’ve been dull lately. Do you want to let something off your heart? Don’t worry, this is a safe place. There’s nothing to be scared of,” Adrian urged me after he noticed how restless I suddenly became after my phone rang.I didn’t respond to him. I would rather not complicate things further. I also didn’t want to put too much pressure on Adrian, considering the fact that he has been with me since my troubles started.““This isn’t about me being scared to speak, Adrian. You know I don’t hesitate to share my problems with you. It’s just kind of different this time. No matter how I explain, you will never understand,” I said quietly.He held my hand and forced me to look into his eyes. “Hey, look at me. I am here to support your every move. If you feel bothered, please share. You know I got good listening ears. Trust me when I say I will understand anything you say right now.”I was starting to fall

ADRIANFrom the look on Olivia's face, I knew she was shocked to see me. If she could turn back the hands of time, she would have scanned the entire area before answering the phone.Her mysteries keep piling up. Who would have thought that Cyril was responsible for the attack we escaped? It's a question I couldn't respond to regardless of how I tried to rack my head.“We need to go back to the officer. I guess he must be waiting for us already,” Olivia insisted. She forced a smile to trick me into forgetting about the issue. She had no idea that I was smarter than she.“There’s no way I am letting you leave this place until you tell me what I want to hear,” I said in a commanding tone, blocking her exit.I didn’t mind causing a scene just to fetch the truth from her.I felt used.I felt ridiculed.Despite my efforts to ensure she gets justice, it is too bad she hasn’t acknowledged my efforts for once.I had a thousand reasons to back out from the case. Instead, I decided to stay back

RENEI can’t wait to hear the devastating news of Olivia’s death. It will be the biggest thing that has happened to me in a while. In her next life, she wouldn’t dare stand in my way when I want to achieve something remarkable.I want Adrian to myself, and I’m going to get him, no matter how challenging it is.I haven’t stopped checking my phone, hoping my hired assassins will call or text to share the news about Olivia’s death. I paid them to eliminate her, and I’m pretty sure they’ll do a fantastic job.As I paced around my room, my phone rang. I immediately checked it, every belief in me screaming it was the hired assassins calling.Sadly, I was met with disappointment when I noticed that it was my mom calling my phone.“Like seriously? Oh no, not now. Why does it have to be my mom?” I hissed and dropped the phone immediately.Just like me, my mom had been yearning to hear the news of Olivia’s death. I am pretty sure that was what she wanted to speak to me about.The plan with my m

RENE“Speak up this minute or forever remain silent. I didn’t sign up for any of this. Just go straight to the point and stop beating around the bush like a headless hen,” I yelled, practically tearing into Ghost. His silent treatment was messing with my head. He knew for a fact that I hate being kept in suspense, and yet, he kept doing it as if it were nobody’s business.“I don’t even know how to say this to you because I am pretty sure you’d be mad at me,” Ghost freaked out. He kept dragging his utterances, which didn’t sit too well with me.I was tempted to smash my phone against the ground in anger. I decided to hold on to my anger.“You should be lucky you are not here next to me right now. I would have smashed your head against the wall,” I threatened. It wasn’t something I would have done. I only said that to scare Ghost and force him to speak.“We missed out on Olivia, ma’am. It wasn’t the kind of assassination operation we had envisaged,” Ghost finally confessed.It’s safe to

RENEI couldn't stop glaring at the photos Ghost had forwarded to my socials. How he managed to capture Cyril and Olivia in such a compromising manner remains a mystery to me. It was as though he had read my thoughts and knew exactly what I needed.After receiving the photos, I was tempted to request his account details to send him a token of appreciation, even though the operation has not ultimately been successful.As I admired the photos, my phone rang. I hoped it would be Cyril. He was the only person I wanted to speak to. His calls meant more to me than even my mother's.Just as I had thought, it was indeed Cyril. I looked away from the phone and smiled.I ended the call, overwhelmed with excitement. Not only that, I was also struggling with anxiety. I needed to compose myself before breaking the good news to Cyril, regardless of how he might feel about it.After assuring myself to stay calm, I returned the missed calls from Cyril."Where are you now?"We both spoke at the same t

CHAPTER 78RENE“I ask you again, Rene, what the fuck am I seeing right now? Is this some sort of joke? Do you think I’m some kind of kid that can be easily fooled?"Cyril ranted repeatedly. He couldn't believe his eyes. He thought it was all a dream, venting his anger at me as though I were the one who cheated on him.I didn’t blame Cyril for acting that way towards me, and neither did I retaliate when he yelled at me.After banking on Olivia, believing she would never cheat on him, he suddenly saw photos of his supposedly faithful wife acting all cozy with another man. I would do worse if I was in his shoes.“Exactly what you saw, Cyril. I am pretty sure you have eyes, haven’t you? Or does your darling wife have a doppelganger you aren’t aware of?” I mocked him, my words dripping with sarcasm.I intended to get under his thick skin, to make him develop an even deeper hatred for Olivia.“Could this be the work of Photoshop? It’s difficult to believe Olivia would have the nerve to che

CHAPTER 79RENE“After everything that happened, you still think I should call and ask about her whereabouts now?”“Of course, you just have to. I don’t want you stressing your head over someone who isn’t even worth it. Now look at you—she’s succeeded in making you a shadow of yourself,” I insisted, adding weight to my words to convince him successfully.Cyril stayed silent for a while. I knew he was processing what I had told him, so I didn’t interfere with his thoughts. I gave him all the time he needed to think things through.As much as I was desperate to become his legally wedded wife, I was still smart enough to know that excessive intrusion might ruin my chances—especially considering how sharp Cyril is.“I think you’re right. I’m going to give her a call right now,” Cyril finally decided after giving it a second thought.For a while, he called Olivia repeatedly, but she wasn’t answering. It frustrated him to the point where he nearly smashed his phone against the wall in anger

OLIVIAAfter my discussion with Adrian at his house, I was already having second thoughts about his opinion. I hadn’t stopped imagining new possibilities either.Why do I need to come back to New York when I can actually start a life in Paris? New York had done nothing but bring me harm lately. I definitely needed a change of environment to accelerate my healing process.Since my exit from both my marriage and the company, I saw no reason to show my face in New York again.I was eager to leave everything behind, and having Adrian as my only partner was a good start—better than I had ever imagined.I had only spent a few weeks in Paris, yet I had fallen in love with the city immediately. It was the perfect place for me to start a new life.“How long will you be staying in Paris? You never mentioned that. Five days, a few weeks, or a month?” Kate asked me.“Forever, Kate. I’m finally leaving New York for good, and I ain’t coming back,” I replied with a smile on my face.She closed the l

OLIVIAI woke up in the morning with Adrian sleeping next to me in bed. It had always been my dream to see that happen.Unfortunately, my marriage with Cyril had limited me from many things I would have accomplished.It was my first day as a divorcee. It also turned out to be one of the most important days of my life.I was relieved knowing that I wasn’t married to Cyril anymore.I was also thrilled that Cyril wouldn’t be coming after me anymore, thanks to the restraining order from the judge.I wrapped my arm across Adrian’s body and kissed his forehead. “Good morning, honey. I hope you had a beautiful night?”“Of course, I did. But not as beautiful as you. You’re the best thing that ever happened to me,” Adrian yawned and lifted his head, showering me with praises.He had already prepared himself for a moment like this.He hadn’t asked me to marry him yet, but I was already imagining us as a couple.He treated me like a queen. He treated me in a way I had never felt before.“You kno

OLIVIA“Kate, can you be kind enough to prepare a meeting for me in the conference room, scheduled for the next 30 minutes? I want to meet with the company's investors one last time,” I informed Kate as we drove back to my apartment after celebrating my victory in court.“Okay, ma'am. I will reach out to all the investors immediately,” Kate heeded my command.“Sorry, ma'am, I just thought about this now. Will Adrian be a part of the meeting? You know he just left not quite long ago. You never mentioned if he should be part of the meeting,” Kate asked me a few minutes after my previous instruction.“This shouldn't be a question, Kate. I intentionally decided not to mention Adrian's name, and you should know the reason. Well, we are all aware of how important Adrian is to me at this point. I will need him more often,” I responded as I took a U-turn back to the company.My initial plan was to go back home and rest after a terrible day in court. But at the same time, I was desperate to ge

OLIVIAA worrisome call jolted me from my slumber in the early hours of the day.It was disheartening—just when I thought I’d be able to stay home all day.The call was from my lawyer. The moment her name popped up on my screen, I bolted out of bed as if I were being chased by a beast in my sleep.Clearing my throat, I took a deep breath, summoning all the courage I needed to speak. The call was unexpected.“Hello, Olivia. Good morning. Are you there?” My lawyer’s voice called me back to reality.It had been over five minutes since I picked up, yet I still hadn’t spoken a word.“So sorry for the inconvenience, attorney. I just got out of bed, and I still feel dizzy. What's good?” I lied.I yawned and spoke softly, hoping to make my excuse more believable."That's fine. Sorry for waking you up. I just had to," she apologized."Anyways, the court hearing is this morning, and I need you to be there in an hour. I'll send you the court address immediately. We're done talking now," my lawye

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

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 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

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 “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
