Dylan moved forward and stretched his hand towards Adriano for a handshake, he failed to notice the shift in the air around the conference room. "Good day, Mr. Adriano."
Adriano glanced at the hand stretched out to him and he didn't exchange handshakes with him, Adriano stepped away from where he was standing going closer to where Mia was standing.
"Mr. Maximus, why are you here? This meeting is between the Luca's and me, you should leave now." Mia said after gaining back her composure gesturing towards the door for him to leave the room, her green eyes stilled.
"We called him over here, let him take a seat over there." Mr. Luca the major of Rome muttered from behind Mia as he entered the conference room, behind him were two young-looking women. "Both of you come in." Mr. Luca gestured at his daughters and they both walked in.
The Luca's was looking like expensive proclaim fools, they had themself adorned in all kinds of necklaces and earrings and also sprayed numerous perfumes on themself which was nerve-racking.
Mia nodded her head at his words before she moved towards her seat, she sidestepped Adriano and walked past him. "Everyone please take a sit to let's begin for today." She said gesturing to them as she also sat down on her chair.
Mr. Luca and the two women took their seats respectively, the women had black hair and dark eyes the same as Mr. Luca. "As you know already dear lawyer, my daughter wants to divorce this man over there but he has been refusing our requests for the past 2 years. Every time we succeeded in finding a law firm, he paid them off to drop the case and not fight for us in court." Mr. Luca started in a bitter tone.
"Your law firm is the only standing firm that is willing to drag him to court and not take a bribe from him, please find the best solution for us. My daughter wants a divorce from him!" Mr. Luca added glaring at Adriano.
Adriano sat on the chair lazily, the air around him was cold and at the same time threatening. His lips were curved into a tiny smile before it turned dangerous, and his grey eyes turn to smoke flame.
"Mr. Luca, he seems to like your daughter a lot so he does not want to part ways with her. What is the reason for the divorce? Is there any kind of violence he had demonstrated towards your daughter? Or anything mental damage or emotional problems?" Mia asked after adding a mocking tone to her voice which was barely noticeable.
"Yes of course, if he had not done any damage to our sister we wouldn't be here right now filing for divorce. It's been five years already since he got married to my sister but she has still not given birth, not even a miscarriage too." The first of the Luca daughter opened her mouth and spoke, half keeping her tone mild and half yelling.
"He may be impotent, have you conducted any test on him to find out if he is still active as a man or if he is impotent? It may be your sister has a health issue or Mr. Maximus here has a health issue and is impotent too." Mia remarked bringing out her pen to note down a few points she had just picked up while giving an invisible jab to Adriano.
Adriano frowned slightly after he heard Mia's words, was she saying he was impotent? He glared at her and turned his eyes to glare at Luca too. "I am not impotent!" He breathed out silently but it was loud enough for everyone around so they all heard him.
"And so what if you are not impotent? My sister does not have any health issues as we have gotten her tested numerous times but we can't say the same about you, you refuse to go to the hospital for a test to be conducted on you." The second daughter of Mr. Luca said glaring at him.
"Does everyone want tea or coffee or some juice? I will tell my assistant to get them ready, let's take a breather for some time.
"Coffee."
"Tea."
"Coffee."
"Coffee."
"Dylan please get a glass for everyone and also get a glass for me too," Mia instructed Dylan who nodded and dashed out of the room, she began linking the pointers she had gotten during the meeting…. Lucas wanted a divorce for their daughter who was not here but the other party was not ready to submit, Mia nodded her head.
After about 30 minutes, they were done with the meeting and everyone's face had a frown on it. A few glasses were thrown at one another which resulted in them broken, and the coffee and tea got spilled out of them.
"Everyone please go home, I will ask my assistant to send the bill over to your various offices. My office walls are not for fights, Mr. Luca I will send the request for divorce over to the court once again and I will send you the response gotten." Mia remarked her green eyes visibly tired and angry.
"I will take my leave first if you all do not mind." Mia excused herself and walked out of the conference room.
"Sorry, she is just tired. I will send you all out if you do not mind." Dylan muttered using his hand to gesture towards the door, he felt worried for Mia but he had to escort the guests out first before leaving.
After escorting them out, he turned towards the last elevator on the floor and got into the elevator. He clicked on the top floor and got ready to go up, as the elevator door was closing a leg stepped in front and the doors stopped. "Get out!" Adriano muttered in a freezing tone…
"Take the call, you can speak to me when you are done," Alessio remarked watching Mia hesitate to answer the call, Mia nodded her head at his words before picking up her phone.Mia stared at the unknown number, she received a call from. She picked up the call and placed the phone on her ear, "Mia Marcello here, who am I speaking with?" Mia questioned."Young Miss, it's the butter speaking with you here. Mr. Adriano is at the mansion and he wants to see you, he is here with his wife too." The butter from Mia's mansion spoke from the other end of the line, he was currently in the kitchen and looking at the Maximus couple from there.Mia rolled her eyes, she sighed before bringing her hand to her hair and rubbing on it. "Trouble seems to want to find me today, inform him that I am already in the office. If he needs any appointments he should contact the office or rather come here to the office, I won't be taking any clients at the mansion." Mia responded."Young Miss, I said so to him al
Mia woke up to the bright light peeking into the room from the window, she furrowed get brows and brought her hand forward to block the light from clouding her vision. She turned around and rolled out of the bed, her face had dried tears streak in them that fell off as she made her face into an expression of pain.Pain! Pain! Pain! That was what she was feeling beneath her abdomen, it seems her period had visited sooner than it was supposed to come. She used her hands in rubbing her stomach before standing up to walk towards her bathroom, she glanced at the stained bedsheets and a frown settled on her face. Her period wasn't supposed to have come just yet, she had not taken anything sweet too."Damn, Period. I am gonna have cramps for three days now." Mia muttered in agony as she walked towards the bathroom, she entered and walked to the sink to clean her face and brush her teeth. She glanced at her face in the mirror and she clicked her tongue in annoyance, she was confident she was
"You give me everything but you don't love me, you love someone else. I don't need material things, all I want is love. We have been married for five fucking years Adriano, in those years you never once laid a finger on me!!" Bella spoke standing up to her feet."I agreed to marry you five years ago and also betray my friend even though I knew she loved you, yet for five years you haven't laid a finger on me. I am human too you know, I feel the need to be touched and adored sometimes. I am not a robot, you tricked me and married me for my family connection years ago… I want to get a divorce from you now, is that something so hard for you to understand?" Bella questioned rubbing her hands to comfort herself."You are heartless and cruel, you never think about others when you do things. You hurt her five years ago and no you are hurting me, I am tired of being placed in a loveless relationship that too with someone who does not lay a finger on me" Bella remarked showing her stance to hi
Dylan sighed after Adriano walked out of the office, he picked up his phone and called the mansion phone in Mia's mansion… He was pretty sure, Mia would not take his calls. The home phone began ringing after he dialed it, he patiently waited for someone to pick up the call.In Mia's mansion, the butler walked to the old phone in the living room. He picked up the phone and placed it on his ears, "Flowery Mansion, who am I speaking with?" The bulter asked "It's me, Dylan," Dylan replied in a cool tone, although he was anxious he kept calm on the surface."Young Master Dylan, it's a pleasure to speak to you after so long. How may I be of help to you?" The old butler muttered, a tiny smile appearing on his face."The young mistress, is she home? Is she okay?" Dylan questioned in one goal."She is okay, young master. She went off to sleep a few moments ago, I took care of her already.." the butler answered, he wanted to ask why the young mistress had come home in a bad mood but he heard b
Mia drew from the wall and fell ok the ground, pitiful tears fell out of her eyes. The cries and wails she wanted to scream out were blocked within her throat, she could not scream as she wanted. She clenched her fist hitting it continuously on the ground, she was determined to get rid of the feelings of pain in her heart but it was futile. Her efforts were not yielding any results.The elevator dinged opened and she picked up her bags hurriedly and scurried her way out of the elevator, she got to her car and got on it. She threw her cell phone and bags on the rear seat and took her seat before she stared at the car engine, she wiped off the tears from her eyes and drive out of the parking lot.She drove like a drunkard on the street, her car was at the highest speed and she was not thinking of stopping her rough driving anytime soon. She was determined to get rid of the pain even if it meant dying at that moment, she drove aimlessly looking for an accident till she appeared at the ma
Dylan wondered why he was being chased out, before he could process his thoughts he was pushed out of the elevator and the elevator was shut closed. "Hello, why don't we go talk about it there? Grey said pointing towards the conference room. Adriano took the elevator going up to the top floor, his expression was very cold and dark. He looked like he had just gotten angered by something, it was the case but he was seeking the wrong solution to his problem. He was going to tell Mia to drop the case and not fight it, he would tell her to stay away from the case and not interfere in it. The elevator chimed open and he was brought out of his thoughts, he climbed down the elevator and walked across the hallway. He came across two secretaries and another person, and then another before he got to the large office at the end of the floor. The secretaries gasped when they saw the man walking across the hall, he looked like a painting that was gotten from the wall. He was enchanting and beautif
