Divorced But Never Letting Go Forty
OLIVIA It's just 6 pm, and my eyes have been seeing a lot lately. I can't predict what's going to happen in the next few minutes. One minute, I was close to helping Cyril regain his lost memory and save my marriage. The next minute, I am on the verge of losing my marriage by inviting a demon in the person of René. I thought inviting her over was doing the right thing. I guess I was wrong. As long as René lived, she would continue to be a threat to my existence. “You have been relieved from your duty as my secretary. I never want to see your ugly face anymore. I would find your replacement immediately,” the words from Cyril still echo in my eardrums, reminding me that my days are numbered. It was almost an hour when he said that, and it still hit differently. “If Cyril kicks me out of the company, it equally means that he is going to appoint Rene as the next CEO, wouldn't he? He adores René and would be willing to do anything just to please her.” I pondered on my thoughts since th

OLIVIA "So you don't think giving up isn't an option?” I asked Adrian. He seemed to be making sense lately. He might as well have the perfect solution to my problem. "The solution is right there in front of you. It's you who has refused to see it,” Adrian came up with yet another word of wisdom that caused my brain to shut down. "I don't follow. What exactly are you talking about?” I forced myself to ask. I couldn't keep the question to myself anymore. "Oh, Olivia. There you go again. You missed the point. Think, Olivia. You're always running out of line,” Adrian fumed. He was unable to withstand my naughtiness anymore. If I were in his position, I would do worse. “I think I know what you're talking about now,” I snapped my hands as a thought flickered across my face like a flash. With a move too fast, I grabbed it before it would pass me by. "I would plead with Rene to let me move in with them. That way, I can monitor the affairs of the company.” I suggested.“That made

OLIVIA “I hope you don't expect me to walk away like that because that's never going to happen. I will stay back and fight like my life depends on it. I am not going to fold my arms and watch Rene ruin my home,” I remained firm on my decision. “You might need to stop raising your voice at me. I'm not the reason for your troubles. If you don't want to stay calm and speak to me, I suggest you leave right away.” Escobar warned me. I didn't realize how loud I was becoming until he told me. “What do you suggest I do about this? I already told you what the problem is. Rene and Cyril are inseparable. Getting her out of Cyril's ward is not going to be easy. What else do you want to know again? Are you suggesting that I inject him with sleeping pills?”“Hell no!” I was quick to reject it. “Then what? It's obvious that you don't understand what's happening,” Escobar argued. I could tell that he was fed up with my presence and couldn't wait for me to leave. Quietly, I stood up to strategize

OLIVIA “I need a favor from you. I don't know how you're going to feel about it,” I admitted. For the first time ever, I forgot what it feels like to express myself without fear. “Are you being serious right now?If you got something to say, spill it now and stop beating around the bush like a headless chicken. I don't have the whole day,” Rene barked at me and scared the living daylight out of me. Out of fear, I edged backwards a bit to avoid more of her scary moves at me“I require help convincing Cyril to let me move into the house to enable me run the company. Since he acknowledges you as his only legally married wife, it would be partially difficult having me around,” I hurriedly spoke without a pause to avoid mincing words. “So, this is the reason you called me out here? Gosh! I can't believe I'm actually having this conversation with you,” Rene hissed. On the verge of walking out on me, I held her back and pleaded like my entire life depends on it. “You know this is bully

OLIVIA I wasn't sure if passing the night at Adrian's house was the best decision after what happened between us the last time I visited. It's been nearly a week since we had a one-night stand and I still haven't forgotten about it. Scenes about that horrible day are still stuck in my head, no matter how hard I try to ignore it. Now I'm making the same mistake again. Cyril's memory loss brought me closer to Adrian. It made me understand how important he was to my existence. If I wasn't married to Cyril, I would definitely be scrubbing my knees on the ground begging for Adrian to marry me. He's got everything I needed In a man; He's rich, successful, smart and above all, caring. In the last few hours, he's proven to be a better man than Cyril. He stood by me as his whole life depended on it. Yet, we aren't even dating. He would do great when I eventually become his lover. However, with Cyril in the picture, it may seem impossible to achieve. “Can you please give me a second with

OLIVIA“Here we are now. I know this is nothing like yours, but I hope it will be worth it. So, tell me, what would you love to have? I'm damn certain you must be starving right now. I could ask my domestic staff to get you something," Adrian asked the moment we arrived at his home.The living room appears to be different compared to the last time I visited. It feels to me like my first time visiting. “You aren't saying anything yet? I just asked you a question. What would you love to have?” Adrian waved at me as he restored my lost mind. I wasn't even paying attention to him. The whole time he spoke to me, my mind was occupied with Rene.I act like I'm doing great but deep down, I was desperate to know what's happening between Cyril and Rene in the ward. According to Doctor Escobar, they seemed great together, all thanks to Cyril for being reluctant to let Rene leave his sight. “Take me to my room. I don't want to eat or drink anything. I just want to sleep. That's the only thin

OLIVIA.“How did you find yourself in our matrimonial bedroom? Is that supposed to be a question? Am I supposed to answer that? This is your home, Olivia,” Cyril said as his smile spread across his face. “Home? What home are you talking about? This doesn't even look real to me. Is there something you're not telling me?” I mumbled while still trying to wrap my head around what he told me.“Nothing is hiding. I am telling you the truth. Look around you, what do you see?” Cyril tasked me.“I see beautiful photo frames of us hanging on the wall,” I answered with a hint of confusion.“What about Rene?I thought she was your wife?” I asked Cyril as I strived to confirm if my thoughts were real or mere hallucinating.“Who the heck is that? I don't know what you're talking about.” He quickly vindicated himself.“Hold on a second.I'll be back with your breakfast,” Cyril sought my permission and dashed outside.“Breakfast in bed?” I muttered succinctly. It felt to me like the world was endin

OLIVIAI dashed inside Escobar's office without knocking. The suspense was killing me. I couldn't wait to find out where Cyril was taken. “Olivia? What did you just do? Why would you force yourself into my office like that? That was disrespectful, and I demand an apology this minute,” Doctor Escobar was in full rage. I saw that coming. If I was the one who got busted that way, I would be mad at the person. “I am sorry for coming In the way I did. Trust me, it wasn't planned,” I finally apologized. “What do you want? Wait, I want to believe that you are not here to plead with me about Rene? Because that's never going to happen. Remember what I told you the last time you visited?” Escobar reminded me ahead, forcing me to swallow my question. Rene was somehow part of what I wanted to discuss with Doctor Escobar, which made it impossible to proceed with my question. “I thought as much. It's about Rene, isn't it? Sorry, there's nothing I can do about that. You may need to leave n

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
