Paige North and Cedric Brooks "You agree to divorce?" Cedric asked Paige, cold as always, "Yes!" Paige nodded in agreement, "And I'm here to talk about my compensation," "Compensation?" Cedric sneered, "I heard you had many lovers while I was abroad. Don't they pay for you?" "What?!" Paige yelled in response. She wasn't surprised that he reacted like this, Cedric has always been like this, cold, judging, and hateful of her. "What? Did the rumours lie?" Cedric snorted, "You don't have to pretend in my presence, I already knew that about you, I know what and who you are," Paige looked disgusted by the words that Cedric said to her and she opened her mouth to respond to him, to explain to him that those words that he said to her were not true. She hadn't been with anyone apart from him, since their wedding night. She didn't even like to get touched, but she didn't, "How am I going to get paid the compensation money after signing the papers?" She asked instead, Cedric wouldn

'Can I yell to the world about how much of an idiot I am? Paige thought as she rushed out of Cedric's house in utter humiliation and embarrassment. Nothing made sense to her at the moment, the realization of a truth she has been ignoring finally sinking its claws into her heart, making her realize there was no escape from the truth, she still had feelings for Cedric! She was still so in love with him, it was as if her feelings never changed and were just overlooked or ignored. She was revolted…Paige has had a huge crush on Cedric right from high school, from the first moment Paige set her eyes on Cedric, she knew she was going to love him for a very long time, if not forever. She had wanted him right from the first moment she had set eyes on him. Paige wasn't such a forward person in high school, but she wasn't a totally confident person who oozed pride and confidence too even though she deserved to be confident and prideful like her high school friends had littered it repeatedly

Paige North and Cedric Brooks Paige was no longer feeling sore and humiliated like she had felt when Cedric had offered her the contract earlier. This was all for money, she wasn't going to let her feelings for Cedric ruin this opportunity for her, whatever she felt for Cedric was going to be buried and she is going to focus on this contract from now. As she skimmed her eyes through the contract, her eyes caught on something, the secrecy of their divorce, which was intriguing, "You don't want your grandmother or any of your relatives to know about our divorce?""Yes. Do you have an issue with that?" Cedric questioned, his face expressionless, voice hard and eyes cold and it made Paige wonder if this was a negotiation or an arrest warrant. But keeping their divorce a secret was something that confused Paige, clearly, the number one reason Cedric had divorced her was so he could be with Marlynn. If they hide the fact that they were divorced, then how would it be possible for both of

Cedric…?" Paige drawled unamused by the situation that Cedric was creating, "What are you doing right now? You can't just randomly invite my guest to your party without my consent!" "Yes, I can and I'm going to do it. Besides, it's not a big deal, right Mr Rain?" He glanced at the man who was staring at the couple in bewilderment, "Yes, it's not a big deal and I don't mind the invitation at all," Mr Rain answered, which was a bad idea in Paige's book. She knew exactly what Cedric was doing and she didn't want to give him the platform to do that.But it was kind of too late,"Besides, " Mr Rain continued, I told you that I want to get to know you more, so maybe this will be a perfect opportunity for that," He smiled as he admitted his thoughts to Paige who immediately stole a glance at Cedric and almost laughed when she saw the seething annoyance on his face.Oh, well, good riddance, she thought and took a sip of her drink. Seeing that look on Cedric's face spurred up something in her

Paige“What is it, Paige? Eh? Did I lie?” Paige scoffed but ignored her, walking away from her and headed towards the gate where she could easily see Rains’ car, he would be picking her up in five. She could feel piercing eyes on her but she wasn't going to deal with that right now, her morning had already been foul when she woke up to an empty bed, and the sight she saw when she walked into the kitchen didn't do anything to help her mood. Right now, she just wanted to drown in a ridiculous amount of coffee to be able to function like a normal human being and not snap at the most, little inconvenient. Paige was so focused on her thoughts, rage, and worries that she didn't realize that not only had Cedric joined Marlynn outside and was watching her, but also, her ride had already pulled up in front of her. Her eyes were unfocused, staring distantly into nothing, her mind was blank and her heart was a jumbled mess of emotions. She yelped when Rain’s car horn sounded, “Are you o
