**Amaya's P.O.V**
The moment Aiden said that I felt a pain in my chest.
But why?
It was all a contract, I knew this was inevitable but why did I feel so hurt?
Why did it have to be Valerie?, with his status he could have any woman begging for him so why did it have to be the one person i hated so much?
"This was all a contract Amaya, did you really think I was going to feel something for you just because we were married for 3 years?" He asked but my eyes weren't on him but on Valerie.
She knew the only reason I accepted this arrangement was to fend for my mom and she still has to come and disrupt everything.
"I don't understand, why my sister?"
"Cause I'm in love with her"
"Don't tell me she didn't know?"
"I didn't think I needed to tell her, it was fun watching her slowly soften towards me"
"By the way Amaya, could you help Valerie settle in?, she plans to move in with us.
I couldn't speak I wanted to leave and tell myself that I had to endure for Elly, for mom, but this was a lot to take.
Just when I thought I had used marriage to escape hell, I realized this marriage was way worse than hell and I slowly succumbed yo the demon who lives in it, and now this bitch was coming to make my life worse.
"I won't be helping Valerie because she won't be moving in"
"What did you say?"
"You heard me Aiden, I said she isn't moving in, this might just be a business arrangement but u will not let you disrespect me by bringing your mistress into our home, you can do whatever outside, I don't give a shit" I said trying to hide the pain in my voice.
"Our home?, I really didn't think an infertile bitch like you would ever get to call my house your home, just for clarity I wouldn't have agreed to marry you if Valerie had been there"
His every word was like a punch that hit me.
I maintained my calm demeanor and acted like I didn't care
"I wish you had seen her first, I wouldn't have had to live with people as arrogant as you"
"Now you two are so in love, the more the merrier, you can have her but I already made it clear that she won't be moving in, not as far as I still have the title of being your wife"
How did he think I would agree to this?
His mother was enough headache and he expect me to accommodate someone that has hated me since her birth?
But what was I expecting?, the signs were clear I was just too naive to think he'd actually do it.
But that didn't mean u would let him control my decision on this, I was standing my ground.
I had never been given an opportunity to make a choice, all my life I wasn't allowed to do anything ony own accord, even my marriage wasn't my decision and now this?
I was fed up
"Have you forgotten I pull the strings here, if Valerie can't move in consider this marriage over"
"Then what are you waiting for, give me the papers and tell me where to sign and your little mistress has the house to herself"
"Are you hearing yourself?, one phone call and it's all over, think about Elly and your mom?" He said his tone softening.
Why was he acting like he cared, all I wa to him was a medium for transactions and investments to take place so what changed?
"Why are you begging her, her mom might not survive the week" Valerie said with a smirk on her face.
Something snapped in me and every emotion I had been holding back came gushing out in one sentence.
"You slut, you still have the guys to talk, you stole my father, stole my things, even stole mom…."
"What the fuck are you talking about?"
"You think I didn't find out it was you and your drunken friends that caused the crash that day?, and now this?, are you that jealous of me or what?" I asked angrily as she opened her lips to speak but u didn't let her
" What possibly could you want again?, you're pretty, young, sexy, being treated like a princess, a position I would die to be in, so what the fuck do you want?"
She feigned innocence and put herself into Aiden's arms.
"You've said enough Amaya" he said as he comforted her.
How could he say that?
I felt so wronged, I thought he felt something but I was wrong, it amused him anytime I showed signs that I'd fallen hard.
"Amaya..."
"Mr Marcelo I don't need your pity, keep it for someone who does, we're done, tjis business arrangement ends here"
"You're upset, everything came in a flash, you can rest, tomorrow we'll talk about it"
"It's really useless talking to you isn't it?"
I stormed off to my room and began searching for the divorce document Davina had kept gor me just in case I felt suffocated.
I took it out and signed it without hesitation, I wasn't going to banter words with anyone, my days of being Mrs Marcelo are gone.
I headed back to his room and took a peek at the entrance, I saw him, his clothes were already on while she was hugging him like a clingy puppy.
It disgusted me.
Or that's what I told myself.
Why did she have to get the good things?.
I was ashamed of myself, I wanted to be Valerie, to be in Aiden's arms, I wanted him to comfort me like he did to her and that thought alone disgusted me.
I told myself I hated him so much, always called him bad names, and tried to seem difficult around him, but deep down I hated myself for falling in love with him.
But now it's too late, everything's ruined and there's no going back.
I slammed his door wide open and threw the papers at him.
"Meet my lawyer if you need any clarification, although I doubt you do" I said as he scoffed.
"I know you'll be back, sooner or later"
"You wish"
