ANDERSON'S POV"If you think she's going to rethink the whole divorce stuff, then what happens when she signs the case?" I thought hard and tried to make meaning out of what Eleanor was telling me."Then she gets divorced." Eleanor shrugged, unbothered.I wasn't buying this one. Sierra cuts in sharply; I guess she was as confused as I was."You know, when she wins the case, it doesn't mean she will stop coming after you. You are the one who literally gave her the idea, so she's going to see you as the bad person." Sierra explained further."Exactly! So now we should be predicting her next move." I agreed to what Sierra said."That is what I am trying to think of; she should be looking for a way to get her family company back to standard. I mean...." Eleanor still wasn't getting the point.Everything traced back to her, so she will still be attacked."And you think you will be exempted from that too?" Sierra was just with me in my thoughts.She knew exactly what I was going to say. "E
BEATRICE POV"You know that thing I told you about yesterday?" I threw the files on the table.Maggie looked tired and confused; her eyes were already bulging out, and she just couldn't speak. My sister never gave up; all her mind was on how to make it up with the company.She sluggishly dragged the files to her and scanned through them."You're filing for a divorce?" A look of puzzlement crossed her face."Yes!" I didn't stutter.I am too pained for that; it is obvious that Robert regards me as no one."You must be joking, right?" Maggie's eyes widened.Her sudden droopy eyes were now round and wide."Can't you see the way I'm being treated? He is never going to change. Eleanor was right; I just had to give it time to see what she meant." I was losing my patience already; I just wanted the fucking matter to be over already."You know we need help for the company, and you are filing for a divorce. How are we supposed to help ourselves with this?" Maggie's eyes were full of fear."Oh,
ROBERT'S POVBeatrice was sick in her mind. I don't know what she expects from me when she keeps acting like she has sense, but she is actually more stupid than I thought.Everyone I know would never think like that, but my Beatrice? Beatrice just shocked the hell out of me.I've known Beatrice too long for her to forgive me easily. I knew how long she would want to ignore me and put the whole space so she doesn't get to see me."I don't think I have to stress myself about what's going on." I sighed and knotted my tie."Sir, the car is ready." The driver stumbled into the room and made the announcement. I might have taken too long, and now he had to check up."I'll join you soon. Don't worry about the time wasted." I said to him while trying to adjust my tie."You told me about having a meeting with the new people that would love to sign off on a contract." He snapped.Oh no!The whole Eleanor and Beatrice issue didn't give me the time to think about my company. "Start the car; I'm
BEATRICE POVThe shock from the slap kept me still and quiet for a long time. My whole thought was how to make Robert pay for what he did to me.I was humiliated in front of those.....Robert storms in immediately."What are you doing here? Are you here to laugh and make me look more stupid?" I didn't even give him a chance to explain what had happened there."You don't know what I am trying to prevent you from doing." For the first time in a thousand years, he sounded so stupid to me."Seriously? You are saying this right?""Look, Beatrice, don't make it look like I am the bad person here; I told you several times that you shouldn't hold the dinner. What did you say?" "It's just going to be a friendly discussion." He mimicked.I feel my heart burning right now. My mind got so restless merely just thinking about the event that just happened."Are you done talking?" I felt nothing for him anymore.My heart feels cold whenever I am around him. There's nothing about him that interests
ELEANOR'S POVI watched her stand there in so much confusion, trying to understand what I am about to say."I don't think I have the time to stand here and argue with you about how I want to deal with you." I smiled awkwardly.Beatrice couldn't stand all the parables I kept saying. She walked up to me and gave me that deadly stare."I would advise you to sign a divorce. Trust me, it will really help. I mean, I could give you back your family company." I shrugged.Beatrice stared at me blankly; she really didn't have an expression for what I just said."What makes you think I'm going to leave a man I have spent years fighting for?" Her eyebrows furrowed."Come on, Beatrice, you know he's never going to keep you." I smiled broadly as I watched her react to the words that pierced her soul."Eleanor...I..." Her lips trembled; she couldn't speak."Mmmm, get over it. You're never going to have him." I shrugged.My gaze shifted to Robert. We both know what we are talking about here; he could
BEATRICE POV Robert can rain all the insults he wants, but I think it to be a good idea to invite Eleanor around. I stood at the window staring outside and thinking of what to do when she arrived here.Robert barged into the room and saw me staring at the window."What is the setup for?" His veins popped out of his forehead."Robert, don't act like you would help me if I asked." I answered reluctantly without taking my eyes off the window.He scoffed. "And?" He waited for me to complete that sentence; I know he doesn't want to believe that they will be coming into this house."And I'm helping myself out." My answer was sharp and brief."Are you okay? Trying to help yourself out by inviting them into your home?" Robert got so mad at me that he couldn't talk. I finally took my eyes away and looked at him. He was recklessly moving around the room in so much anger."I just need a peaceful bargain. This will affect my sister's health too. I know how she overthinks; I am not ready to wat
