Scarlett‘s POV:
Charles had just taken a shower, and his fresh, minty fragrance enveloped me. The pleasant smell coming off his skin was rendering my mind in shambles.
He rubbed his nose against my neck. Every time he touched me, I felt like my bloodstream turned into white water. The excitement was getting more and more difficult for me to hide. He suckled on my neck and then ran his teeth gently on it. As I heaved a nervous breath, he buried his face on my shoulder, and I felt him smile.
“What the **** are you doing, Charles? Why are you treating me like this? We shouldn‘t be playing these kinds of games.” I covered my face to hide my shame.
It was so typical of him to treat me like some plaything. When we were younger,
To Divorce You he used to pull pranks on me and make me cry on Halloween and April Fools‘ Day, and then he would laugh in a low voice as he did now. What on earth was so **** funny? I did not get it at all.
“All right. I‘m sorry. I won‘t make fun of you anymore. Please stop crying. Your aggrieved look is already driving me insane.” Charles wiped away the tears from my eyes and then lowered his head to kiss my chin and cheek.
‘Oh, please, stop,‘ I begged in my heart. I covered my face again. I wanted to start sobbing, but I held it in. Why was he being like this? Did he not know that he was just leading me on with such sweet and gentle actions?
Seeing that I was about to start crying again, Charles stopped kissing me and then leaned against the door with me in his arms. He twirled my hair in his finger like he was so fascinated by it.
“If you really want to have ***, then just go to Rita and stop pestering me.” I wiped my tears and tried to get rid of Charles.
To Divorce You
“Rita is not in good health. It‘s not appropriate,” Charles replied seriously and kissed my hair.
“But it‘s okay to do it with me? You‘re really lowering my opinion of you. Have you no shame? Sleeping with two people at the same time is disgusting.” I cast a cold glance at Charles. I felt so wronged.
He was really making me feel cheap. Did I not have some self–respect? Did he think that I was a streetwalker who would take off my clothes and open my legs for 20 dollars?
Charles did not say anything more. He just hugged me in silence. After a long time, I heard him sigh.
“You win, Scarlett. Now, you can either go to bed upstairs alone or stay here with me.” He loosened his grip.
I immediately pushed him away, ran to the bedroom without looking back, and locked the door. I leaned against the door and took many deep breaths. My heart was racing like crazy.
You While I was in his arms earlier, giving in crossed my mind many times. A small part of me wanted to be with him, but it was not strong enough to overpower the part of me that desperately wanted to break away. After finally calming down and sorting out my thoughts, I went to bed. I had made up my mind. As soon as we finalized our divorce, I would leave here and cut off all my connections to the city.
The next day, I woke up to the morning sunshine on my face. I slid out of bed and went to the bathroom to wash up.
Charles did not bother me the entire night. He slept on the sofa in the living room like a real gentleman. The sun shone on his handsome face. It would have been a perfect, dreamy scene if not for the cigarette butts that were scattered all over the coffee table and the floor
When did he become so reliant on cigarettes? When we were in high school, he was a model student who kept his grades up and played sports. You I was a little stunned. I seemed to have missed a lot of things in the three years that we were apart. I supposed he was upset because he could not stay with his beloved Rita, or maybe he regretted marrying me and wasting three years of his life.
I lowered my eyes and went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Charles. After cleaning up, I left. I had to go home and get some work done on my program‘s script.
As soon as I got home, I received a call from Charles
“The breakfast was delicious. Thank you. ” His voice was a little hoarse. It seemed that he had just woken up.
“You‘re welcome. Thank you for letting me stay the night.” I expressed my gratitude. Although he did force me to spend the night in his place at first, I was still thankful that I did not have to stay in my house that still smelled toxic because of the paint.
“We don‘t have to be strangers to each other, Scarlett. I remember that you‘re
Chapter 46 Maybe He Doesn‘t Want To Divorce You not like this before.” Charles did not sound good to me. I could picture him sitting on the sofa with a lit cigarette in his mouth and frowning.
“Well, a lot has changed, Charles. We‘re not exactly on good terms. We‘re getting a divorce. If we were good, we wouldn‘t be breaking up in the first place.” Charles‘s remark hit a nerve, and I found myself too annoyed to deal with him. We used to quarrel a lot in high school, and when we grew up, we did not really exert that much effort to become close to each other. Truth be told, Charles and I were like parallel lines that would never meet. It was only because of my childish persistence and infatuation in the past that things had become so difficult and complicated. 1
“I hired someone to get rid of the paint and clean your house. She will arrive around ten o‘clock,” Charles replied in a defeated tone. He obviously sensed the displeasure in my voice and decided to change the subject.
“You didn‘t have to do that, but I appreciate it,” I thanked him politely. You – After telling Charles that I had to go and get ready for work, I hung up.
When I was about to enter my house, I saw a familiar figure standing in the corridor. It was of a tall man clad in all black. It was Abner.
He turned around and saw me standing not far away. I approached him.
“Where have you been, Scarlett?”
“What are you doing here?” I was surprised to see him at my place this early
“I heard from Nina that someone trashed your place with paint. I decided to swing by to make sure you‘re all right. I brought you breakfast.” Abner touched his nose and handed me a small brown paper bag and a paper cup. Whatever was in the cup, it had gone cold. Abner must have been waiting for a long time.
“Thank you, Abner. You didn‘t have to come here. You could‘ve just called or texted. My place is out of the way from your house and the station.” I knew that Abner meant well, and truthfully, I felt a little sad for drawing a line in the sand between us. I could not give him what he wanted. At least not now. He was a young, wealthy, and accomplished man. There were so many girls in and out of the station who admired him, and he deserved better than me.
“It‘s fine. I‘m just worried about you. I rang the doorbell several times, but no one answered. I thought you had already gone to work. Do you need me to help you clean up your place?” Abner forced a smile and looked at me.
“No, thanks. I can manage. I just need to buy some special cleaning tools. My house is still a raging mess, and I don‘t want you going in there and messing up your clothes or something,” I answered awkwardly.
“Did you stay in a hotel last night?” Abner asked tentatively. I had a feeling that he already knew the answer. He just wanted to hear it from me.
“No, I slept at Charles‘s house last night, “I said frankly. I did not see the point of hiding it from him.
Abner fell silent. I watched as jealousy, disappointment, and helplessness took turns twisting his handsome features. It broke my heart a little.
“Thank you for bringing me breakfast. I have to go get ready for work.” I dodged Abner‘s gaze. We were colleagues and friends. I did not want to mess up the already flimsy relationship we had.
“Aren‘t you guys getting divorced? Or are you getting back together?” Abner asked from behind me as I tried to open my front door. 2
“Charles and I are over. We just haven‘t gotten around to finalizing the divorce.” Charles had never been in love with me. I was the only one between us who wanted us to be together.
“You two have been at this for a long time now. Don‘t you think the delay is already getting ridiculous?” Abner pressed
“It‘s just because of some family issues. Charles‘s family doesn‘t want us to divorce. We‘re taking care of it.”
“Don‘t you think Charles is only making that an excuse? He‘s rich and powerful. If he wants to divorce his wife, even *** won‘t be able to stop him. Scarlett, have you ever thought that maybe Charles doesn‘t want to divorce you?” Abner went straight to the point.
Bye, My Irresistible Love
In my opinion, what Abner said was ridiculous. He was just an outsider and had no idea that Charles felt nothing but dissatisfaction towards me.
Charles and I had been living together since childhood. I could tell that I was not his cup of tea. He loved Rita. He even married me for her sake.
“When we got the marriage certificate and were about to finish the divorce formalities, Charles‘s grandmother fainted all of a sudden. That was why we were unable to finalize the divorce. Once Grandma gets better, I‘ll get the marriage certificate and go through the divorce formalities again,” I explained.
“I‘ve told you that those reasons are just lousy excuses. If Charles wants to divorce you, he would‘ve done that already. Do you think he‘s a The Revelation procrastinator?” Abner insisted.
“Charles had always made fun of me since high school. He liked seeing me pathetic. You‘re wrong. He doesn‘t have feelings for me.” I stood on my ground.
I might have considered that if it was in the past. After all, Charles seemed reluctant to leave me. However, I was in the right mind now. Charles had always treated me as a plaything. He would play with me whenever he was bored and then leave when he had gotten tired.
Rita was the woman he loved. He respected her, took care of her, and most importantly, loved her.
“I guess Charles was just stubborn and maybe a little bit chauvinistic. Now, even though the situation has reached the point of divorce, he‘s still too proud to apologize. You know, men from rich families are more or less chauvinists. You can‘t expect them to confess that they‘ve fallen in love with someone,” Abner stated confidently.
I sighed. “Abner, Charles is with the woman he likes. They‘re going to be The Revelation engaged soon. I bet one hundred dollars that they‘ll be happy once I‘m out of the picture.” This argument would not come to an end. After all, Abner and I were both steadfast and had enough evidence to prove our statement.
Abner shook his head and smiled at me.
“I bet one hundred dollars that they‘ll be on edge when they get married. The woman you‘re talking about is Rita. She‘ll cheat on Charles, possibly blackmail him, and torture him to death. ” He just made the serious subject humorous. No wonder he was popular with the young ladies in the company.
Truth be told, I would pay to see Charles suffer
With a smile, I checked the time on my watch. I was going to miss breakfast if I did not start eating now. “Are we going to continue the subject? I haven‘t had breakfast yet.”
“You can go in now. I‘ll wait for you down there.” With a bitter smile, Abner went downstairs.
I opened the door to my apartment. But before I stepped inside, I turned around and looked at him. “Abner, you‘re a good man. I think we‘ll be good friends.”
“I can be your friend at the moment, but I‘m not sure in the future. Scarlett, I tend to be stubborn when I like someone. Even if I know that it‘s impossible to be with the woman I like, I still want to get close to her and be by her side.” Abner looked me in the eye, and I could see his sincerity in his eyes.
Charles was different from Abner. He always hid his emotions, so I never had the chance to understand him.
After I changed my clothes and had breakfast with Abner, we finally went to the TV station
Rita‘s POV:
Since our quarrel last time, Charles had not come to see me. He did not even return my calls. What was more, he would not respond whenever I asked him about our wedding. I could not help but panic. I could feel that he was
Chapter 47 The Revelation – changing his mind.
This was all because of Scarlett.
Why did she have to come back? Couldn‘t she just finish the divorce formalities via e–mail?
The more I thought about it, the angrier I felt. I could not just sit still and wait for death to come. I had to let Charles know that Scarlett was actually a *****.
“You‘ve been following Scarlett for a long time. Have you taken any useful photos of her?” I asked Richard, my bodyguard, unhappily.
I had ordered him to follow Scarlett and dig up dirt on her.
Richard slowly zoomed in on a set of photos in the camera and showed them to me.
In the photos, Scarlett and Abner were chatting happily at the door of the former‘s apartment. Another photo showed them walking out of the building together. Not only that, but Richard also took a picture of them having breakfast at a restaurant. They looked like a sweet couple from afar.
“Well done. Send these photos to the media today. Give them more money to exaggerate their relationship. It would be better if they brought up the news that a rich man housed Scarlett some time ago, “I ordered with a smug look on my face.
Scarlett was not as good as she seemed. I could not understand why the Moores all liked her.
That family hated ill–mannered people the most. And yet, Charles‘s legal wife was flirting with all kinds of men. How could they blame me for being easy but turn a blind eye on that *****?
“Why are you still here? I said, send these photos to the media now,” I snapped. I had to make sure that the wedding would happen soon. The longer it was delayed, the more anxious I felt.
“Honey, it‘s not as easy as you think Ever since Scarlett started working in the TV station, Charles has communication with major media outlets. Any rumors about her have to go through him before anyone else. If we expose it rashly, Charles will find out who did it,” Richard said hesitantly.
Charles was the one who hired Richard to be my bodyguard. As Richard worked for Charles before, he knew very well what his former boss was capable of.
“What?! Why didn‘t you tell me before?” I asked in horror.
Now, Charles was paying more attention to Scarlett‘s affairs. What happened? Had he found out something? No. It was impossible. Nobody knew about what I had done.
“Send the photos to this paparazzo. I knew about him when I was still acting. He won‘t give us away as long as you give him enough money.” I then slid the paparazzo‘s phone number to Richard. This was the perfect opportunity to deal with Scarlett. I couldn‘t just let that ***** go easily
However, Richard still seemed hesitant. I could see in his eyes that he feared Charles.
“What are you so afraid of? I‘ve told you, Charles won‘t find out about us. He only believes what he sees. For sure, he‘ll be too disappointed to investigate.” I wanted everyone to see Scarlett‘s true colors. The more Charles thought that Scarlett was pure and innocent, the more I wanted to break his fantasy.
“No, honey. You don‘t know how smart Charles is. He may even find out our relationship as well,” Richard whispered in my ear.
not have slept with
this
I should imbecile.
“I didn‘t ask you to send this photo in person. Just hire someone else to do the job. Why do you think you should do it yourself?” I rolled my eyes at him. My patience was wearing thin. Richard was lucky that he was still of use to me. I would have kicked him out of my way if he was not.
“By the way, since you‘re afraid that Charles will find out about our relationship, stop calling me honey in public. If someone overhears it, he‘ll find out about us, and we‘ll be dead meat,” I warned through gritted teeth. I hoped this idiot would at least be a little smarter.
“Fine. I‘ll go now.” Richard finally walked out of the ward with the pictures.
Now, the only thing I had to do was to lie on the bed and wait for the news to come out. I would then call Charles as soon as it did.
Bye My Irresistible, Love Chapter 47 The Revelation
