The sun had just dipped below the horizon as a black maybach sped towards Davis Villa. In the back seat of the Maybach, a man sat in silence with his veiny hand clenching his cell phone.
He had an expressionless face with a distant look in his eyes. He leaned to lay on the back of the seat. Taking his laptop, he typed," get the papers ready".
"Yes boss", the other party replied.
*Ten minutes later*
"We've arrived sir", the driver said opening the door for him.
The man alighted gracefully as his dark buttomless eyes glanced around the quiet neighborhood. He then inputed the password before getting in. Upon arriving in the hall, he saw the back of a lady in the kitchen..
His gaze darkened for a moment and a murderous glint flashed in his eyes for a moment. Sensing a presence, Adelaide turned around and met with a cold gaze . She froze subconsciously. Looking at that face which haunt her every night. Before she could speak, he left. She took her food she had prepared to her room to eat. Upon reaching her room she sat down and thought for a while.
"It's been 2 years since we got married, sooner or later we are bound to separate", she thought with a bitter smile.
She then took in a chunk of the food which seems bland..
"Urghhh, I've lost my appetite lately, but I can't waste the food I buy with my hard earned money, tsk I have to put it in the fridge". She then got up and bolted to the kitchen. After doing what she came here to do she left for her room.
"Time to take a relaxing bath", she muttered before stripping. As she got into the ernomous bathroom which her old house could fit in, she fell a bit nauseous.
"What's wrong with me these days", she said with a frown etched on her beautiful face.
Holding her naturally red long hair into a messy bun, she stepped into the huge bath tub which could fit about twenty people.
She sighed when her tired body got into contact with the warm water. After she was done bathing, she wrapped herself in her bathrobe while wrapping her hair with a dry towel. After she was done dressing she sat on her bed staring into space." Another night of sleeping alone and having nightmares",she thought while clenching the sheets.
Laying on the bed, she took her phone. Unlocking, the first thing she saw was "HAYDIE BLAKE WAS SEEN AT THE AIRPORT WITH HER FIANCE'S ASSISTANT ENRIK MENDES". click here to see photo.
With her hand clenching the phone , she muttered under her breath,"she's back".
"Of course, what was I thinking. That we are gonna be together for life, foolish me". She smiled bitterly." I have wasted two years of my life being in this damned marriage".
"Miss Travis can I see you"?
Aiden asked while standing in front of her door impatiently. Hearing his voice, she panicked. If she didn't know about Haydie's return she would have been smiling from ear to ear since this is the first time in two years Aiden has come to her to talk.
She bolted out of her room.
"Umm, hi"
She said nervously while tucking the strands of her hair behind her ear.
"Meet me in my study" he said coldly
"Is there anything you want" she asked
She regretted as soon as she said that because she earned a cold and disgusting glare from him.
Looking down she uttered"I'm sorry".
Not receiving a response,she followed him quietly to the study.
Upon arriving in the study, she stood there not daring to sit before getting thrown out before they start to speak.
"Sit" he ordered
Not wasting any moment, she hurriedly sat
Passing the papers to her , he said
"Sign it"
Looking at the papers with divorce written boldly on it, she froze.
"W-why?" She asked as she clenched her palm into a fist while trying to calm her emotions.
"Haydie is back" he said with a cold face
Clearing her throat she said
" I know Mr.Davis, I was asking because we could have signed it earlier , duhh". She said while smiling from ear to ear
"Read it and see if you are okay or want to make adjustments, after that sign it near mine".
"Yes"
Seeing this, she was shocked,
"800 million dollars as compensation, two condo units at ANGELS estate and 4 types of cars from your garage!! Hell no, no ,no
I'm not taking this..This is too much. I admit I have wasted two years of my life but I'm not going to take that!" Thanks a lot but I'm okay.
I will just sign the papers and leave.
"Where do I sign"? She asked looking at him.
Noticing his intense gaze she lowered her head while apologizing.
"Can you give me some time", she asked.
"I swear I won't take long, at least two days then I'll pack my bags and leave"
Looking at her coldly, he said,
"Two days miss Travis"
"Yes Mr.Davis"
I'll be leaving, Adelaide said while clenching the divorce papers.
Getting into her room she slumped on the bed dejectedly and smiled bitterly.
Life moves on Adelaide, he never loved you anyway, Adelaide said weakly.
The next morning, Adelaide spent her day looking for cheap apartments in the nearby city.
"Ughhhh, these are all expensive how much do I even earn"
Adelaide took a bathroom break, coming back from the bathroom she received a call, frowning she took her phone on the bed her hands trembled lightly before picking up.
"Hello"
"Hello Ade, how are you doing? I'm sorry for not contacting you these years you got married, even tho I still don't exept the marriage you are still my little princess and I have to support you, I hope he's treating you well princess , " a patient and manly voice said at the other side of the phone.
Hearing his voice Adelaide couldn't help but cry "brother I'm sorry , I'm really sorry for not trusting you, I'm sorry for calling you names and never calling , she said in-between sobs.
"Brother I miss you and I'm fine just that we are getting divorced in a few days" , Adelaide said, her voice trembling.
Don't cry princess, I knew this would happen her brother said.
I know you don't have anywhere to go and you won't take any alimony from him.
You can come to my place at Manhattan, I'm out for business and I don't know when I'll be back. I'll send you the address, Ivan said..
"Thank you brother"
"I'm busy now I'll call you later princess take care, Ivan said.
"I love you brother"
"I love you princess"
After that the call ended, she took the divorce papers from the drawer and signed without hesitation.
Later that night ,Aiden came home drunk, he went to his room and took a cold bath.
After he took a bath he felt that something was not right.
Feeling hot all over he went for a cold bath again. After taking three cold baths he gritted his teeth and went to Adelaide's room.
Opening the door, he saw a small figure lying on the bed with a small see through night grown, seeing this his desire for her increased.
Using his hand to gently stroke her face, he leaned in for a kiss.
Adelaide felt something roaming on her body and got up immediately.
"W- what are you doing ,she said in a panic,
"Shut up "he said coldly
Gritting his teeth he said "I have been drugged,you have to help me"
No we are getting divorced , I'm not doing that with you Adelaide said while using the blanket to cover herself.
Seeing his desperation Adelaide reluctantly agreed.
After several rounds and hours of crying and begging, Aiden finally released her and carried her weak sweaty body to the bathroom.
After cleaning the sleepy Adelaide he gently placed her on the sofa.
Removing the bedsheets he saw a red patch of blood on the bed sheets. He paused a glanced at the petite redhead before sucking in a sharp breath.
"Fuck,what did I do", he hissed wanting to punch himself.
The next morning...
Adelaide woke up feeling sore all over.
"Ughhh my body hurts ",Adelaide mummured.
What happened, she asked no but herself .
All of a sudden she got flashbacks from yesterday.
"Oh Shit! Shit! Shitttt!!, what the fuck did I do. I shouldn't have agreed.Fuck!, Adelaide cursed. What do I do now, she said looking at her body with obvious bite marks and hickeys.
"I'll just have to avoid him till we get the divorce papers", Adelaide said while holding a handful of her hair.
"Such a beast!", Adelaide mummured while touching the bite marks and hickeys.
Andrew on the other hand tried not to cross paths with Adelaide for the next two days.
He always left early in the morning and came home getting to midnight.
At Davis Group
Andrew sat behind his desk with a cold and serious face with his thin lips slightly pursed.
He contemplated whether to text Adelaide or not. In the end he made his assistant get some morning pills for her.
