2024-10-29 19:42:56Ivan's heart sank and he even felt as if his heart was pierced with glass shards, it hurts terribly that his face turned ashen and he stiffened.
He raised his bloodshot eyes to look at Lucy, Lucy was stunned by the look on his face and she shifted uncomfortably on her seat but still maintained that uncaring expression.
She felt that there was no need for her to be guilty, he should blame it all on his uselessness. She was about to talk when the man beside her stopped her.
"Good afternoon Mr Ivan, my name is Ben and I am Miss Lucy's lawyer, she complained that you've not been taking care of her and you are also an irresponsible Father to your child that he died. She said that you are unable to care for her and that she does not want the marriage any more. Those are the divorce papers as you've read. So, please sign them to avoid unnecessary trouble." Ben finished his speech and looked at Ivan for his response.
Ivan was dumbfounded at what Ben said.
Miss Lucy? He had even started to address her like a single lady, they must have felt that he does not have a choice but to agree, she complained that he has not been taking care of her?
How was that possible? She does not stay at home and he was left to take care of their child even when he has to go to work so early? How could that be called not taking care?
He had tried his best and he was still blamed?
"When have I not taken care of our son? Where were you when your son was calling for you? Where were you when your son wanted you so much? Where were you when he was in so much pain? Where were you? And now, you are putting the blame on me? You went on a business trip and forgot about your own son and you call me irresponsible? Hahaha, you make me laugh." Ivan declared loudly in agitation.
He had wanted to keep this matter inside him because he felt that Lucy was helpless, but when he heard what she jad said about him, he could not help but flare up.
Lucy was startled at first but she instantly rebuted.
"How is that my fault? I did not go on a business trip to play, I went there to make money to take care of my son since the father could not and now, you blame me? Who do you think you are? I am the one that provides for this family and when my account was frozen by my family because of this reason, I went out to work to get money, but you blame me? Do you think that you are worthy?" She snapped, her eyes glaring at Ivan making his heart ache.
"Mr Ivan, it will be better if you sign this divorce papers and we would forget about this matter. You guys will be able to move on with your life, this marriage is stopping my client from being successful. As it is, it is clear that you are not worthy of her."
Ivan listened to them without reacting, his back looked desolate and lonely, people could not help but feel pity for him but the two people in the room sneered and did not feel anything but disdain.
"Lucy, why now? Our child just died, have you been waiting for him to die before divorcing me or what?" Ivan asked and Lucy's eyes trembled and some guilt flashed pass her beauitiful eyes before she quickly covered it.
"Just sign the papers and stop dawdling around, you are not worthy of me. I was just blinded by love when I decided to marry you against my parents will, but now I have regained my mind, You are a good for nothing Ivan." She said and Ivan suddenly laughed out loud.
His laugh was bleak and hollow, his slump shoulders shook violently and his red eyes became even more bloodshot that you could see the red veins on them.
He abruptly stopped laughing and sneered with anger.
"Sign this papers? No way." He declared and Lucy got enraged.
"You!!! how dare you?" Her hand shook, a testimony to the anger that she was feeling.
"Mr Ivan, you are making a terrible mistake, you..."
"I said that I will not sign this divorce papers, you can't force me can you?" He said with a smirk. Actually, Ivan was feeling very distraught inwardly, he could still not bear to let go of Lucy.
He had been in love with her for many years before she finally reciprocated and they got married, he could not just let go. He knew that it was selfish of him and that she does not have feelings for him any more but still....
He could not ....let go.
Lucy suddenly laughed in mockery, "You don't want to sign the papers? Do you still think that I am still in love with you or what? Ivan, i have a long way ahead of me and you will never be able to meet up with me, don't make things difficult for yourself."
Ivan was speechless but he was also stubborn.
Lucy and Ben were frustrated, they knew that if Ivan does not agree to sign the papers, there was nothing that they could do. They were about to say something else, when someone entered in a rush.
It was Lucy's assistant, Lana.
Her face was flushed red and her eyes twinkled, it was obvious that she was very happy. She did not seem to notice the tense atmosphere and just walked towards Lucy.
"Good news, good news." Lana said in agitation. Lucy was also surprised because her assistant was a very calm person, so she wondered what happened that made her so agitated.
"The Cartier corporation agreed to invest in our company." Lana said without hiding anything and Lucy opened her mouth wide, her eyes widened like saucer balls.
You must know that Cartier corporation is one of the top corporations in the city, it would definitely be in among the top thirty and was very prestigious.
Lucy was excited and she raised her head proudly towards Ivan.
"Did you hear that? The Cartier corporation wants to invest in my company, it will only get better from now on and my business will continue to grow. A riff raff like you that does not even have a job, don't you think that you are just yearning after a swan meat? Sign the divorce papers, I can even allow you to stay in this house for a while, considering the fact that we've been together for so long, you can help in the kitchen or be my driver." Lucy said with folded arms.
Ivan gritted his teeth, green veins popped out from his forehead but he still stood by his word.
"I will not sign it."

Ivan was surprised at what Lucy said, if what she said was true then it would mean that her company would start tp grow well from then onwards.You must know that for a big corporation could agree to invest in a small enterprise, it either meant that the small enterprise had limitless potential or it has many connections.In Lucy's case, it was both possibilities.Actually, Ivan was happy for her, but when he remembered how she got her connections, he froze.Lucy thought that he was feeling bad about himself, her pride rose and his expression stroked her ego. Lana could already guess what was going on, but she sighed.The truth was that she really liked Ivan, he was a caring husband and also very polite but he was useless and there was nothing Lana could do to help someone like him."Lucy, did you get your connection by sleeping around?"

"Did you think that we just freezed Lucy's account just for nothing? We knew how despicable you could be so we feeezed her account so that you won't live off her. But we still underestimated you, even after freezing her account, she was still the one feeding the family with her small enterprise company, are you not ashamed? Ivan, are you even a man?" Mrs Anderson questioned, her pitch getting higher and louder until it became a shriek."Ivan, I had wanted to accept the relationship with my daughter after she gave birth to your child, but when I also heard that the boy had died due to your carelessness, I was utterly disappointed. You are not worthy of my daughter from the beginning and you are even worse now, you are not even worthy of carrying her bathroom slippers." Mr Anderson also said, he was calm and collected but the rage in his eyes showed how much anger he was feeling right then.Ivan could not talk, it was not like he does not have anything to say but that he could not open

The divorce issue was finally settled, Mr and Mrs Anderson could not help but beam."Now, our daughter will be able to get a good man to marry." Ivan, who was already on his way upstairs nearly stumbled when he heard what Mrs Anderson said. He could not help but wondered if they knew that Lucy had cheated on him.But so?Even if they knew, Ivan was sure that they would dismiss it and he would also be blamed for it. Helpless, he could only keep quiet. Now, he was not staying in Lucy's house as her husband anymore, but as a servant because he had to work for staying here. He had been reduced to such a state.That was not right, he was never something from day one....In the evening, Ivan left his room and went downstairs. He has been on his bed, trying to sleep and forget everything that happened but he could not. He must have woken up six times. It was a futile tussle of conflicting and complicated thoughts.He had wished to sleep it all off and wake up to the refreshing sunlight bu

Ivan ignored the two people who bypassed him and went back to sleep on the couch. He did not want to sleep in the guest room beside the master's bedroom. Ivan was still perambulating around when he heard a moaning sound from upstairs. It was loud, and it was obvious that Lucy was not trying to control her voice. It was unknown whether she did it intentionally or not. He stopped walking for a while, clenched his jaws, and then lay on the couch with his back, staring at the ceiling. ... The morning rays flooded into the room through the drawn curtains, shimmering on the surface of the glossy tiles. The drawn curtains fluttered with the early morning wind, casting flowing shadows on the ground as they moved, giving the room a surreal vibe. Ivan squinted his eyes open at this point, his eyelids droopy, and looked around the sitting room with his groggy eyes, as if confused about where he was. After a while, his eyes regained clarity, and he stood up, then walked towards the stairs

Ivan glanced at Charles from the corner of his eye before leaving the room, his mind swirling with different thoughts.The moment he left, Charles stared at his retreating back and took his phone from the table beside the bed, dialing a number."You know what to do, right? Just ruin his day for me. Contact those small companies since he could only work there with his talent. I want to see him defeated," he said, grinning before disconnecting the call.Lucy glanced at him and the direction Ivan had left with a thoughtful gaze before smiling. With that, they both entered the covers, and soon after, Lucy's sultry voice rang out.Of course, all this was unbeknownst to Ivan, who had already left.He knew that if he wanted to be free, he needed to get a job first. If he had a good pay, Lucy might also start to take him seriously, she might even accept him back.Ivan knew that he could not forget about Lucy just like that. He knew that he was being ridiculous, but he believed that if he work

"Sir, isn't this the person we were told not to hire just this morning?" the man in the blue suit exclaimed after multiple checks, and Ivan's heart skipped a beat.'It couldn't be right? There must have been a mistake or a mix-up,' he thought inwardly while clenching his fists."Really? Bring it and let me see." The man in the seat ordered solemnly, and the man in the blue suit did not waste time and quickly handed Ivan's CV and his phone over.The man in the seat went through it, and his face darkened gradually. He dropped the CV and the phone before raising his head to look at Ivan with an incredulous look on his face.He was quiet for a while, and his face turned expressionless."I'm sorry, but we can't employ you," he said simply, and Ivan's face fell.They had decided to employ him but changed their mind at the last minute. Could it be that it was Charles? Or... Jack?Ivan was stunned, but he could not let this chance slip from his hands."Sir, you saw my CV, right? I have the qu

Ivan's eyes turned red when he saw Charles. Charles looked totally different from how casual he had been that morning.At that moment, he was wearing a black tuxedo, his black hair was combed back, and his suit was without wrinkles. On his hand was a limited Rolex watch, the crown had a fluted design and two dots beneath it.Ivan might not have seen it before, but he recognized it because he had seen its image on the web and knew how expensive it could be.And the ironic fact was that he could never afford it, no matter how hard he worked.The man beside him also seemed to be a wealthy figure, but he looked slightly older than Charles, seemingly in his early forties.Charles also saw Ivan at that moment and gave him a smile filled with mockery."Mr Ivan, there is no vacancy, so please leave," the receptionist said slowly, and Ivan turned to look at her. His face was calm, but his clenched fist betrayed his inner turmoil."Why? Is it because of him?" he asked with a deep voice, pointin

Finally, she found the documents she was looking for, took them, and left the room.At that moment, the door to her apartment opened, and the disheveled Ivan walked in, looking exhausted. She was startled at first, but when she saw how Ivan looked, she scrunched her nose together and frowned."Yuck! You stink like a mackerel. Where the fuck are you coming from? Look at you, you look so dirty like a beggar. You should take a look at yourself in the mirror. You are so disgusting." Lucy did not hold back with the insults at all.She enjoyed insulting Ivan a lot.Ivan was stunned speechless, but he could not refute her. He knew that

It messes with my brain,” Isabel complained.“I wonder how your husband is coping. To be very honest, you're lazy. You can't even do any hard work for like three hours straight.”“Now, why would I want to do hard work for three hours? I was not made for stress; it's why I have my very loving husband that understands me,” Isabel said, and Rachel laughed.“Well, that's good because if your husband was not Ivan, I wonder what you'd have shown him.

Ivan used to be so confident; he asked if he could hold me earlier after the panic attack,” she told her, and be nodded.“I understand that bit; you just need to be there for him. He needs you this time; make sure you don't let anything happen to him. It's the time to be there for him,” she told her, and Isabel nodded.“I know, I know. I just hope he gets better soon. The panic attack was so deadly to watch; I've never seen him have one. The way he clawed at his throat, Rachel, I don't think I want to see that again.

Maybe things were finally starting to be okay for her and Dante. Maybe they could do this after all, but she still didn't know what would happen. She knew that his father was so against the idea, so even if her own parents agreed, she wasn't sure his own father would allow it.

She immediately opened her eyes and looked beside her, only to find an empty space."Dante?" she called out, met with eerie silence. She sighed in disappointment, realizing that he was gone. She had expected him to still be there, and perhaps they could have talked some more. But she kept forgetting that he was a busy man and didn't always have time for what she wanted to do. Although she knew that if she told him she wanted him to stay, he would do so without hesitation, without thinking twice.

After her conversation with her mom, she plopped down on the bed, contemplating her life and what to do next. She had achieved a lot at her age, and living in a cramped house was simply her choice.

She had already started planning and saving for the children she would have, and the amount of money involved was not insignificant. She had clear goals that she wanted to achieve. For now, she knew that she simply wanted children. She didn't desire much more, just like her parents. Whether they came as twins or individually, she wanted kids.
