Chapter 19
Coming here and meeting anyone besides my dad was never part of the plan, and walking in on the very person that I didn’t want to see or have to discuss with, yet here I am settling down far from them, where it was better to just view them from
I came because you asked me to prepare your favorite food, but now I know that is why you wanted me to come.”
I should have thought harder about why he had wanted me to come to him, but now here we are.
“Not everything is about you, not everything” Looking sideways, Eric said.
not to
I wanted to stand and walk to him when I felt my father’s hand on my shoulder, heavy as he pressed them together, telling me without words n
mave an inch
I’m holding myself because that is the opposite of what I wanted to do. Furthermore, I do not want to sit down here and look at the face of the min who ruined my life for 3 good years. Furthermore, I do not want that,
“I didn’t call you here to pickle over something as petty as a divorce, Father said.
I scoffed in disbelief as I turned my head in his direction, and I was looking at him.
Does he think the divorce that ruined my life is perry? Is he serious right now!
*I want to remove myself from this room, please just tell me why I am here before I lose the very stem in my mind right now” Breathing in, I let him know the thing on my mind.
He gave me a calming squeeze before he settled down beside me.
The silence in this office meeting place is so loud, it was an unusual silence. The one that tells you that there is much to be said and everyone is organizing their thoughts on that
“Eric married you for a reason, during your divorce, of course, he failed to mention that,” Father finally said, breaking off the silence that filled the place
What the hell is he talking a
about
Eric married for a reason and the only reason was because I was foolish enough to see that he pitied me with the way I was running around him. letting him notice me, and when he did, I pursued him until he got married to me, what else is there?
“There is a binding contract between the two companies, and now that you both have divorced, there is no such thing again.” His father, Mr. Rodriguez said.
Mr. Rodriguez is a man who can itch your head a little harder when he is speaking to you.
He is the spitting image of Matteo, you will know that he is his father as he has his whole physique is that of Matted,
But here we are talking about something different, what sort of contract is he talking about? What is he talking about?
My head is empty, trying to understand what the hell he means by there being a contract signed and whatnot.
“I do not understand what you are talking about, what contract, because I do not remember signing anything I was unsure of what he was saying-
“It wasn’t something that you know about, but it was binding the two families together and now that the divorce has happened, it gging to bring a major setback in the project that we have already embarked on My father said,
I was dumbfounded, learning that a contract was signed on your head, learning that it might be because of this contract that he had married me, it almost made me feel like I should die right on the spot.
I am looking at Eric, unsure of what to do with this newfound information, unsure of what to believe. I do not know what to do right now
“Eric, is this true? Did you marry me because of a contract. Because of business?” My voice was shaky, I could barely hear myself.
I feel my whole body drenched in sweat, drenched in the feeling of the dejection that comes from all that is happening right before my eyes.
“It is just as you heard.” He said, confirming the truth.
The soft sound that escaped from my lips gave
agrasp
of the situation. I was exchanged because of a contract
My feet are moving, my body is moving so fast before I could think.
Here I was finding a way to justify the wickedness that this man had show me, and here was more truth that had come out from the evil that he

had melted to me.
I could not believe what I had just heard.
My first instinct was to look at my father, he knew all along why this man married me, and I could give all the
I thought he fell in love with me, I thought the love that I had shown him the past months made him fall for me.
But I was only deceiving myself, telling myself the truth that never was
“Princess…”
I hear the voice of my father as he nears me
I am raising my hand, stopping him from taking a step close to me.
“Please, don’t come anywhere close to me, please.” I said. “You knew this and kept this from me, how could you?”
I have always thought he was someo
was someone that I could depend on the one person who loved me so much, but eve
“Thank you, for showing me this side that I never knew. But there is no reason why the contract should be and a hat the mount”
One look at Eric and I feel like hurling the whole turrutute in here on hirt.
How could a person perform such a dramatic pretense for a complete years, how could all those things be lies!
My heart is breaking more and more
When I opened the office door and stepped outside, my eyes were hary, I could not see a single thing
All I wanted to do was collapse and wake up from this dreams, this dream that has taken everything from me
Even the little that I was holding on to it was all gone, washed up like that
“Miss, are you okay?” I could feel someones presence behind me
I am standing straight at once, wiping the tears that had fallen from my eyes
Sometimes I think life is playing this big trick on me, making my life so broken is what life has decided to give se When I think there is a step forward in my life. I’m dragged backward to where it all began.
I do not know what to do.
o again
The vibration of my phone made me stand upright
Searching through my bag. I got it out
I held the ache in my voice when I saw the person calling as I took the call.
“Hey little Bird, how are you?” His deep voice rotated on the phone.
I closed my eyes as I sniffled the tears
“Hey, are you okay? Where are you?” The worry in his voice was so noticeable as he heard the sound of my vice
Hold him where I was, and he ended the call with a promise that he was going to cume get me
cking outside the offer. I sat on the floor, waiting for him as I tried to dry of the tears that just keja talling
