CHAPTER 36—THE WARNING

MAYA

I was glad the stupid get-together was finally over and the only thing that was on my mind was taking a nap. I didn't want any stress again.

I entered my room and prepared to lay on the bed until my phone started vibrating. I was charging my phone and it laid on the bed stand post since I was charging.

I checked the caller id, surprised to see that it was Larry. And not only has he called but he's been calling me for over an hour. Almost ten missed calls.

What could be so important?

My phone stopped ringing and I decided to ignore him. Until my phone rang again. I stood there with a shocked expression on my face and decided to pick the call.

It's best to get this over with.

“What do you want?” I asked, going straight to the point.

He chuckled softly. “Aren't you so Cocky? It's not like I'd expect you to be any different since you're winning this.”

“What the heck are you talking about?” I asked, trying not to sound pissed. Even though I was feeling anger su

  • I DIVORCED HIM! NOW, HE REGRETS   BREAKING THE RULES

    CHAPTER 43 – BREAKING THE RULES “You’re drunk,” I teased as I leaned against the doorframe of the hotel suite, watching him loose that playful fresh tie. Apparently the only thing keeping him from turning into a full-blown mess. "Takes one to know one," Larry smirked." I'm not drunk." I pouted my lips playfully. Was I drunk? Yeah… and honestly, I look better like this. “Not drunk enough to forget that you were flirting with the CEO of some startup all night.” He shrugged off his tie like it was nothing, but the way his eyes narrowed at me… yeah, that was everything. “Or was it the bartender? I lost count,” he continued.Laughing, I pushed past the door and let myself drift deeper into the room. The slit in my emerald green dress was doing its job...Larry’s eyes betrayed him, flicking down before he tried to act innocent. I’d been catching these little glances all night. A contract marriage, remember? No feelings, just rules and benefits. Yet somehow tonight, someone apparently d

  • I DIVORCED HIM! NOW, HE REGRETS   CRASH INTO CHAOS

    CHAPTER 42- CRASH INTO CHAOSMARVIN POV When I opened my eyes, I didn’t know if they were actually open.Everything was… sideways.There was no up or down. Just pain and a buzzing silence like I was underwater and the world above didn’t care if I surfaced again.When the crash hit, it wasn’t sound I noticed first.It was the weight. It was almost like the air itself had slammed down on me.The steering wheel crushed against my ribs, and my head snapped forward so hard my teeth bit into my tongue. The airbag burst open with a deafening pop, shoving me back into the seat. For a moment, I thought I’d gone deaf. I blinked. My lashes scraped something sticky. Blood?I tried to lift my arm but it barely moved.The windshield was gone...or maybe it was still there, just shattered into a million glittering pieces clinging to the frame. Some of it was in my hair. Some on my hands. I could still feel the sting in my palm where a shard had already cut deep. Something was leaking from the das

  • I DIVORCED HIM! NOW, HE REGRETS   PAST THE POINT

    CHAPTER 41 — PAST THE POINTMARVINThe cold hit me like a slap the second I stepped outside. Did it really bother me? No, it didn't. My head wasn’t on the damn weather. It was on Larry...on Victor. On the kind of mess the two of them could stir up if left unchecked.I lit a cigarette without thinking twice. Months of trying to quit, and it took one bad night to throw that promise into the gutter. The first drag settled my nerves barely. All the more, it was enough for me to start think straight. I couldn’t just storm in blind. If Victor was involved, it meant trouble. And I sure wasn’t about to walk into a trap.I dialed Rico back. It rang once...twice... then his voice came on low. “Yeah, boss?” he answered.“Where are they now?” I asked, flicking ash to the side.“Victor’s still at the bar. Larry left about fifteen minutes ago. Headed west. I got one of the boys tailing him.”“Good. Don’t let him out of your sight. And Rico…” I paused, clenching my fist. “…don’t engage unless I s

  • I DIVORCED HIM! NOW, HE REGRETS   THE RIFT

    CHAPTER 40— THE RIFTMARVINIt's been three days since Brandy’s visit, but I noticed Maya becoming withdrawn nowadays. She hardly talks to me and if that doesn't make things worse, she avoids me nowadays.I told the maid to call her down for dinner, but she came up with some flimsy excuse. I can't believe she's expecting me to believe that hullshit. Does she think I was born yesterday or something?I was unable to take it anymore and went up to her room. I didn't even bothe knocking on the door and barged into her room instead. She flinched upon seeing me, and glared at me.She was watching a series on her phone and I noticed a tray of food on a drawer next to her bed. She lied that she wasn't feeling hungry but snuck food upstairs.“So, you look very starved,” I said, my hands crossed together with sarcasm laced in my voice. She rolled off her eyes, and kicked off the blankets. “What are you doing here? I don't want any company right now.”I ignored her statement. “Why are you avoi

    CHAPTER 39— OLD CONNECTIONS LARRY“Way to choose a secluded place,” I said, sarcasm laced in my voice.Victor just let out a chuckle. He's the one who's bent on making sure that we don't go to a public area but went ahead to choose a bar instead. Classic Victor. “I mean, the bar is dimly lit and it took you almost three minutes to find me. So, don't you think it's quite secluded?” He concluded.I ignored his statement and slowly shook my head. “So, do you know what you're here for?” I went straight to the point, taking a seat on one of the stools next to him.He looked at me with a confused expression on his face and replied, “You're the one who called me here and suddenly, you're asking if I know what I'm here for?”Before I could continue, a waiter approached us with a small smile on his face. “Gpod day, gentlemen. What can I get you two?” He asked.“I want a bottle of whiskey,” I told him.Victor said he wanted the same thing, so he left to get our order. I wasn't usually the typ

    CHAPTER 38— THE VISITMAYAI was caught up in the book I was reading, enjoying the beautiful scenery and taking little sips out of my wine. This is exactly the kind of life I wished for.Something peaceful and not the one that had me in constant headaches all the time. This was the only time I had to experience peace and not have to be stressed all the time.A subtle knock on the door draws me out of my thoughts. I reluctantly got up from the lounge chair and went yo.open it, surprised to see that it was a maid.I thought it was Marvin with his multiple issues.“Um…is splitting wrong?” I asked.“There's someone here to awe you,” she replied. “Her name's Brandy and she states that it's really urgent.”At that.moment, my heart raced. There's no way in the hell I would've expected that Brandy would show up in my house. But what could she want?I dispersed the thoughts. “You can let her in. Take her to the living room, I would be down I'm a second,” I ordered.“Yes ma'am.”She walked away
