Semua Bab Your Honor, I Want A Divorce!: Bab 71 - Bab 80

A sigh drew from my mouth as I stared at the dark night sky. Sleep was far away from me, irrelevant of how late it was. I had managed to sneak out unnoticed while Jessica was fast asleep. Her words kept repeating in my head, making me wonder if truly I was a bad person. Picking up the can, I took a sip of the beer. Its bittersweet taste filled me with life when I felt so empty inside. I could have decided to drink at home, after all I had beer in the fridge, but for some reason, I craved for the stars and I didn't want to see them from outside my apartment. So I went to the closest convenience store. The street buzzed with life irrelevant of the fact that it was an estate, street lights lit the path down the road, making it look and feel like it wasn't already midnight. Apart from the fact that the houses were really expensive and there were no rentals, only landlords and ladies, it felt like any regular street with young faces returning after school lessons, adults getting back

I quickly wrote down my address and handed it to her along with a hearty tip. Emphasizing that I would be waiting for her in the morning, I left the convenience store and hurried back home. Thankfully, Jessica was still asleep. Sneaking to my bedroom, I closed my eyes and sleep came over me so suddenly like a thief in the night. A tired yawn left my mouth as I woke up. Turning off my alarm clock, I went to the bathroom to freshen myself up and then picked out an outfit to wear. Since I would be staying at home and making cookies, I put on a pink knitted spaghetti arms crop top and faded blue baggy jeans. The top had a knitted jacket to wear over it but I decided to leave it aside. The weather was warm anyway. No matter how simply I wanted to look, I was a jewelry woman. They made me feel complete. Going through my collection, a particular one caught my attention. The earrings, just like the necklace, were made with diamonds and gold. It was a straight golden drop earring with dia

I didn't hesitate before answering the call. It was late in the night so he obviously couldn't want us to meet. Right…? I wasn't so sure. "Hello?" I tried to hide the nervousness that filled me up from showing in my voice. "I know it's very late and I am sorry for calling by this time but I just wanted to know if you will be in the office tomorrow. I have a shoot tomorrow with the Rolls Royce Phantom and I want to pick out the outfits. Oh did I mention? It will be a couple shoots so I chose you." He explained. My eyes widened. "What?? Me?! How– I don't– I mean I am not so sure I can pull off something like that!" I heard his laugh softly. "I showed them the promotional commercial you did for your latest make up brand, they loved it and literally begged me to ask you to come and they are willing to pay you whatever. The shoot is going to take place at night." "Oh… I don't know if I can." I subconsciously moved from one foot to the other. His voice suddenly grew deeper

A soft groan escaped my mouth as the ray of sun shone directly on my face, making me squint my eyes. Almost as if it had plotted with the sun, my alarm began to ring the moment I woke up. Turning around, I turned it off and sat up in bed. My phone started ringing just then. "What is going on? Why is everything going off at the same time?" I rolled my eyes and picked up my phone. Staring at the name, I felt so taken aback by the person that was calling me. Picking up made me feel so hesitant but I just decided to answer the call. "Hello?" "I need to talk to you right now, meet me at your store so we can discuss." Ella said rudely to me. I scoffed, taken aback by her words. "Are you kidding me? You called me early in the morning and you're talking so rudely to me? Who do you really think you are?" "It doesn't matter what is going on between us, you and I are still sisters and I have the right to demand an attention with you. I wish to see you regarding pressing matters." She spoke

Damian's voice had grown cold and scary, making a chill run down my spine. The way he asked me where I had been made me wonder if he had been monitoring me. I tried to pretend like I didn't understand what he was saying. "What are you talking about?" He scoffed a laugh, like a devil wearing thin of his patience. "Don't you dare try to lie to me. Do you have any idea what you are to me? The thought that you would even try to lie to me–""Damian, what are you talking about? Stop trying to scare me like that! Cut out this shit!" I yelled out at him, trying to be the one with the upper hand. He let out a mocking laugh this time around, sending a chill down my spine. "Blaire… I know a lot more about you than you think, I know that you have been avoiding me lately as well, now you are keeping secrets, you never do that. "Do you know what I love most about you? The way you call me Damian while others call me Shawn, it was made specially for you. I want to meet up and talk to you, clear t
