Two days later, the divorce documents were delivered to Anya by Marie. She held the documents with satisfaction. It was finally the big step to her freedom. She tidied the documents and moved to prepare to go out.
She would go to the Davids today and give this to Andrei.
Anya looked through her closet to find something to wear. She laid her gaze at the clothes she had just recently bought. She had a strong impulse to dress up today. She smiled and took out her clothes and wore it.
She stood in front of her full-size mirror and looked at her outfit. She wore a blush pink dress suit. She wore a pencil skirt that is above her knees and a suit just slightly shorter than her skirt. Inside, she wore a mid-drift tube. She chose a pair of high stilettos for her shoes. She stood there and she had a sense of confidence and power as she wore this power suit.
She sat on her vanity and started applying neutral makeup to her face. She let down her dark and wavy hair. Finally, she put on a bold expresso shade lipstick.
She took her bag and gave a last glance at her appearance in the mirror. She felt beautiful, a thing she only felt just a few times. Maybe because today she finally had a goal. And maybe she was happy. Happiness can really beautify a person.
She headed her way to the Davids Group of Company. When she arrived, she directly went to Andrei’s office floor. She went out of the elevator and headed to his secretary.
“Good morning, I am here to meet, Andrei.” She greeted and informed the secretary. The secretary gave her a look and was about to mock her when she took in her appearance. She was slightly stunned at the beauty in front of her. Was this Anya?
The employees of the company had a tacit understanding to mock and isolate this foolish woman. Their boss neither cared for this wife of his, so neither should they. But they recently heard that she just resigned from the company. What was this girl trying to do? And now she appears in front of their boss’ office looking all dolled up? Was she trying to win him over? The secretary scoffed and gave her a dry response.
“You don’t have an appointment.”
“You could call him and say I am here. You could do that at the least, as his secretary.” Anya did not back down and countered the secretary. The secretary was taken aback. She was clearly telling her to know her position. She gritted her teeth and picked up the intercom to notify their boss. She just hoped he would reject her.
In the office, Andrei was so busy by the recent issues and problems of the company. When he heard his secretary’s announcement, it was only now he remembered his useless wife. Anger flashed in his eyes as he gave orders to let her in. he leaned back and turned his swivel chair so that his back would face her. When he heard the door open and closed, he immediately spoke.
“You had the guts to show your face here after you failed me? You useless wench.” He said icily without turning his back to look at her.
“I am here to talk about our divorce.” She said coldly.
Andrei was taken aback by her words. So she really escaped Luke that time? How? And does she think she could also escape from him this easily? He scoffed.
“You really think you could have an easy way around? You failed me and didn’t satisfy the business partner to whom I gave him you as a gift. I will not agree to a divorce.”
When Anya heard this the anger and despise she just thrown came back once again. This man was really a monster.
“How could you! Could you even call yourself as a man?! You gave him your wife for what? For money?! For business?! You are so disgusting!” She said in a fit of anger. When Andrei heard this, he laughed coldly.
“Aren’t you a whore? Why are you acting pure and innocent now, as if you are a virgin? You make me laugh.” He said as he finally turned around to face this little hussy. But he was taken by surprise when he saw her appearance. The woman standing there was his wife. She looked beautiful and youthful just like back in the days when their love was in full bloom. But her face carried anger and hate. She was looking at him with enmity. He can’t help but feel like he was punched in the gut. He didn’t like this.
He stood up with a dark and mocking face.
“Oh? What do we have here? You are dressing up? For what? To fish out guys? You really are a bitch.” He said as he approached her.
Anya watched him and sucked her breath at his rash words. Ha. She doesn’t know this man. He was a stranger. He was not her husband.
Andrei approached her and grabbed her arm.
“You finally showed your colors in full form, huh? Then why don’t you act as a whore and get those deals from those businessmen so you have a use in this company!” He angrily said, his eyes red.
“Let go of me!” Anya strongly brushed off Andrei’s hand. She shouted in his face.
“I can’t believe there was a time a loved a heartless man and a monster like you! You are no longer my Andrei. You are a stranger. I don’t know you..” Anya’s voice gradually weakened as continuously she stepped back.
Andrei froze as he took on her appearance. He can’t deny her words got him. and the look on his face, the look that will no longer tolerate and keep up with his shit. His heart can’t help but stir. But before he could let out a word, she turned her back on him and walked out in a rush with anger in her every step.
“Anya!” He angrily called but she was already far. He cursed and sweep the documents on his table in anger. He grabbed a vase and throw it to the floor. A crashing sound rang in the whole office.
He gasped for air as he dropped back down on his swivel chair. He was so angry and dejected, and he doesn’t understand what he was feeling. He took his phone and dialed a number.
“Be ready. I’ll be on my way there.” Before the other person in the line could talk, he dropped the call and made his way out of his office.
The employees hung their heads down as they watch their boss angrily marching out.
Andrei went out of the company and entered his car. He personally drove to the apartment.
When he arrived, he banged the door and leaned his hands on the side of the door as he impatiently waited.
When the door opened, a woman who was wearing a short and almost transparent lingerie greeted him. His dropped head raised as he stared condescendingly down at the woman.
And suddenly, he grabbed her neck and gave her a rough kiss.
Anya rushed out of Andrei’s office and later, the company’s building. She directly took a cab and entered.
She was gasping angrily as her hands were clenched so tightly. She breathed and tried to calm herself down. She promised she would never cry again. And actually, she didn’t feel like crying. All she could feel was anger and disgust.
After a moment, she calmed down slightly. It was only now she noticed that the driver was driving aimlessly and she didn’t tell him her location.
She looked at the driver.
The driver also glanced at her from the rearview mirror. “Are you calm now, Miss?” He asked.
“I didn’t ask earlier because you seemed upset.” The middle-aged driver added. Anya was slightly embarrassed and apologized.
“I’m sorry, sir. Uhm..” She looked around where they were going and saw there was a park.
“You could drop me at the park over there.” She spoke. The driver followed her direction and stop the car in front of a park. Anya paid the driver and went down from his cab.
She walked into the park and found a swing. She went there and sat as she continued to calm down.
The lively and bright park lightened up her mood. She remembered how her grandma used to bring her here and she was the happiest ever. Anya smiled slightly as she remembered those times. When simple things were enough to make her happy.
He watched people and children enjoying themselves for a while, diverting from her depressing thoughts. She didn’t know that someone was also watching her.
Damon sat in his car as he watched the woman outside, sitting in the park. He could really praise their destiny, as they never cease to bump into each other. Damon watched her carefully.
She was wearing a formal dress, completely out of place from the casual park. She looked beautiful when he last saw her, but he could see she was upset. He can’t help but also be upset at the reason why she lost her cheerfulness again.
Well, at least she’s not crying anymore.
He watched her sullen face for a moment and saw a vendor close by. He had a sudden impulse to do something.
He exited his car. His secretary and driver were quite startled but they didn’t not stop him.
Damon approached the vendor selling pink food.
“Hello, Sir! Do you want to buy cotton candy?” The old vendor asked him. Damon surveyed his goods.
“Give me the biggest and prettiest.” He answered. The vendor was delighted and immediately heed to his orders. After he was done, he handed out a colorful and flower-shaped cotton candy to Damon.
Damon handed him a large bill and did not ask for a change. He walked and stopped a little child.
“Could you give this to the big sister over there? I would give you this toy.” Damon handed out a stuffed toy he had in his car. He has a lot of this, for his son. He could spare one to share for this little fellow.
“Alright, Mister! Thank you!” The little boy happily acquiesced. He took the cotton candy and the toy and ran to Anya.
Damon went back to his car and closed the window. He gave Anya one last look and whispered to the wind.
We will meet soon.
“Big sister!” A little boy suddenly approached Anya, pulling her out of her thoughts. She smiled and asked nicely to the boy.
“What is it, big guy?”
“This is for you!” The boy handed her a large and colorful cotton candy. It was shaped like a flower and it looked really pretty. Anya was surprised.
“For me? From who?” She asked, bewildered.
“From that mister over there!” The boy pointed somewhere, but when Anya looked, no one was there.
The boy scratched his head and pouted.
“He’s gone now. But he was just standing there. Anyway, that’s all sister! Cheer up!” The boy said and then run off.
Anya tried to call him but he immediately went to play with his friends. She looked at the cotton candy in her hands. She should be suspicious about things like this, but right now, she felt this was what she needed.
So she took a bite of the cotton candy and her eyes turned to crescents as she immediately smiled.
Delicious!
Andrei was lying next to Ellona. They just finished a hot round of messiness in bed. She was laying on top of him as she drew circles on his chest.
“What put you in bad mood?” Ellona asked in her sultry voice.
“There are problems in the company and my wife is also giving me a headache.” He said lazily as he sucked on his cigarette.
Ellona chuckled and leaned closer to his ears.
“Why don’t you just divorce her and marry me? I’ll make you happy and be your stress reliever.” She said and chuckled sexily as she kissed his cheeks.
Andrei’s eyes once again darkened at the sound of divorce. He sat up abruptly, making Ellona fall back to the bed in the process.
He violently threw his cigarette and clenched his hands as anger flashed in his eyes. “No.” was the only thing he answered.
