Chapter 45
Chapter 45 Oliver was on his way back to his house from the court. Just like the lawyer had prophesied, he had come to get divorced from Aria. The man had the look, “I told you so” He had arrived at the house when he bumped into Aria and Rosie at his gate. He stopped the car and got down immediately. The two women saw him and stopped too. Aria who had finally stopped crying had a face devoid of emotions, but her eyes were still swollen from crying. While Rosie rather had a mean, aggressive and hostile expression on her face, she didn’t need to say it out loud, she was damn angry. Oliver rushed to Aria and blocked her path. “What are you doing Aria, where are you going with the bags and the baby?” he asked with fear in his eyes as he looked around. “What does it look to you like she is doing? She is leaving your house!” Rosie spoke for her friend. “Rosie, please let me speak with my wife, this is our personal issue,” Oliver replied in a sarcastic tone. Aria chuckled, “Your wife? Did you go drinking again Mr. Gomez? That relationship ended hours ago when you made me sign those papers, or did you forget?” Aria replied in sarcasm. “Listen Aria, it is not what you think, I can explain?” Oliver said in an appealing tone. He did not think she would take such a step quickly. “Explain? What do you have to explain Mr. Gomez? Fine, why don’t you explain the envelope in your breast pocket,” she replied. Oliver looked in his breast pocket and noticed the envelope containing the official divorce papers. He sighed and looked towards Aria. He tried to cup her face but she took his hands off. “Just give me a chance Aria, I had to do this but we can still fix it,” he pleaded. “Fix what exactly Mr. Gomez? Isn’t it clear to you? Our relationship is over, your next bride is in there, and just like your grandfather got us divorced, he would also succeed in getting you two married. I don’t want to stay here and face such humiliation,” she said and sniffed in, holding back the well of tears from pouring again. “No Aria, listen… you have the wrong impression of what is going on, I have everything under control, I promise.” He uttered.
Rosie, who was already getting impatient, scoffed and looked around while tapping her fingers. She was irritated by his voice alone. “Really?” Aria chuckled again. “No Mr. Gomez, you don’t have anything under control, in fact you are the reason why our relationship failed. If you had as much faith in us as I did, then we would not be separated today. Like, did you think about our daughter, I am sure she would be better off not knowing you at all than knowing that her father was someone who would give up on her so easily?” “What do you mean by so easily? Aria… Do you think this was easy for me? Listen Aria, I love you, I love you with my whole life and I will make everything right.” “I don’t think so Oliver, it is over, so let’s accept it that way, you wanted us to go our separate ways and that is what we are doing now. I mean, do you expect us to be together even after divorce?” Aria asked and finally let the long suppressed tears out. Oliver wanted to hug her but he feared she would push him off; moreover she was carrying the baby in front. “Aria, I am really sorry for breaking my promise but this can’t be the end of us, just give me a chance to fix things,” he pleaded. Oliver tried to hold her hand but Rosie grabbed it halfway and pushed it away. “Listen Mr. Oliver Gomez, you know how much it hurts me when my best friend cries, you have had your chance to prove what a loving, caring and supportive husband you have. She said she doesn’t want to be in your house so let her be. I warned you Mr. Oliver Gomez, that if you ever dared to hurt my friend, I wouldn’t let it go easily. You better leave our path, or one of us would end up in the hospital tonight,” Rosie threatened. “There will be no need for that sis, please come with me, let us leave this place. Go ahead Oliver, marry Nora and be happy with her, I wish you two the best of luck,” Aria said and walked past Oliver’s left side. Rosie scoffed at him and followed her best friend with the luggage “Aria! Aria please don’t go,” Oliver pleaded, but her mind was made up, there was no turning back now.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Oliver stood at the spot and watched her leave, slowly tears started to trickle down his eyes. He was never this emotional until he met Aria, his first true love and everything had just ended. He wondered if this was really it, the end of their love story. It was barely one year since they met each other in that club. He convinced himself that this would not be the end, he was going to find his wife, he was going to get her forgiveness, he was going to marry her again. Whatever he must do, as long as he has the love of his life back in his life, then he will do it. But as for right now, he needed to let her go. She needed some time alone to think things through, to clear her mind, to get over the pain and the grief. He was going to give her some space, maybe a few days to recover. He walked sluggishly into his car and wept like a baby. From the car, he could see Nora looking out in his direction from the window, she was smiling. He cursed the day she walked into the house, but most of the fault was to be pinned to him. After cleaning his eyes of tears, he drove the car into the building. He had lost his wife, and his sacrifice would be useless if something happened to his father. Grandpa Go had finally succeeded in his plan of getting rid of Aria and her baby, just to fulfill a childhood promise. But what happens next?
