All Chapters of Divorced But Never Letting Go: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

OLIVIA I woke up in the morning wearing the garment of shame. I was trapped in bed like an enchanted soul. I was glaring at the spaces of the ceiling as a thousand questions plagued my head. This is my first time cheating on Cyril, and It feels like I've done it a thousand times. My conscience was killing me. I kept thinking about Cyril while I was making out with Adrian last night. I wonder if Cyril feels the same way each time he's making out with other women.Aside from the guilt that comes from cheating on Cyril, I enjoyed every bit of the moment I had with Adrian. With him, I had the best sex in a while. He made me feel like a woman again. I wouldn't mind coming back for more without appearing like a cheap slot. “Good morning,” Adrian kissed me on the lip as he woke up. Unlike me, Adrian wasn't remorseful for what happened. It seemed like he enjoyed every bit of it. “Just pretend this sex never happened,” I told Adrian without looking in his direction. I had my eyes focuse

OLIVIA Cyril approached Kate violently like a beast. He was making moves to hit her, and she dodged to wave the slap. He looked as if he wanted to tear her skin apart.It was now clear to me that Kate wasn't aware that Cyril was around. She wouldn't have snitched on me like that. I trust her more than I trust Cyril. I knew I needed to come through for Kate before she got killed for something she knew nothing about. Hurriedly, I drove straight to Kate's main building. Cyril spotted my car and started running towards me like a psychopath. I don't want the spirit to possess him. He stood In front of my car and brought out a dagger that rang a bell in my head. “The damn nightmare!”I snapped my fingers as I recalled where I'd seen the dagger before. It was a nightmare coming back to reality. The only difference was that it was Kate's house this time and not Adrian's. “Get down from that car right now and come kneel in front of me to apologize,” Cyril commanded me. I was stuck in t

OLIVIA “Since no one wants to speak, I guess I would need to do that myself. I don't have the time in the world to wait for you all to decide. Someone's life is at stake here.” Doctor Escobar broke the silence. The suspense was starting to irritate him. Not just Escobar, I was also getting fed up with Kate's mind games, and I was glad that Escobar came through for me when it mattered the most. “Doctor, what's the current situation of my husband? Is he going to get better soon?” I asked the doctor. As much I hated Cyril, I still want him alive. If he's going to die, then I shouldn't be responsible. “Can we go talk about this in my office? It's confidential, and I don't want a 3rd party interference,” he demanded. Without being told, I knew he was talking about Kate.“Why your office? Kate is more than an assistant to me. I consider her part of the family. You're free to disclose any information in front of her,” I consented. Regardless of how Kate has been acting lately, I still de

OLIVIA “Olivia, please stop what you're doing because it doesn't make any sense. Don't get so hard on Kate. None of this was her fault and you know that. She was just trying to be helpful. It's you who's being unreasonable here. You always act like you know it all when you're not even close to perfection.” Just when I thought I'd heard it all, Adrian blasted me without holding back because of Kate. “I'm being unreasonable?You dare open your gutter-infested mouth and say that to me?” I pointed to myself. I was close to shedding uncontrollable tears. I was hurt by Adrian's utterances. I decided not to retaliate because he would be gone soon.“That's not the point. You got it wrong.,” he wanted to explain after realizing his mistakes. I didn't let that happen, knowing that he meant everything he said. “No, it's fine. You weren't under duress when you said that.”“You still haven't answered my question, though. Don't act like I've forgotten so soon because I haven't. What the heck are

OLIVIA I was shocked to see Kate stepping out of the hospital with Adrian. Wasn't sure if that's what I wanted for myself.While I demonstrated my frustrations at Adrian, I was equally disappointed in Kate for believing that she had learned her lesson.As they got closer to me, I rehearsed the abusive words I was going to hurl at Adrian when he eventually approached me.“What is he doing here?” I asked Kate immediately they showed up.“Don't worry, I got this,” Adrian interrupted Kate the moment she wanted to speak.“Before you get pissed off, this has got nothing to do with Kate. It was all my idea," Adrian hurriedly vindicated Kate, knowing I was going to berate her for going against my orders. “Who cares? I wasn't talking to you. The last I checked, you aren't my assistant. So back off!” I ignored Adrian and made him look stupid.“Over to you, Kate.Why's Adrian here? Do you ever learn from your mistake?” I blasted Kate just when she thought Adrian had vindicated her.“I tried t
