Mission To Remarry My Unbeatable Ex-wife novel Chapter 6

TERRA'S POV:

THE NEXT DAY:

I was seated at the edge of my bed with half of my stuff packed. The entire room was empty, I had some clothes still in my closet. I sniffled recalling the events of last night and just wiped away my tears. I shook my head removing the thoughts of loneliness and second guessing my decision.

A man who wasn't affectionate nor loving or even tried to be, after three months of living together, ninety solid days. He could never love me. It showed in how he let me get humiliated last night.

Staying married will only make me look more pathetic and weak than I already seemed. I didn't even want to think about how people thought of me, the media, the public. They would all paint me as a poor girl who married into this family for money.

My phone rang, jolting me out of my depressing thoughts. I cleared my throat and exhaled before picking up.

“Hello?” I spoke softly.

“Good day, Miss Terra. The divorce papers have been done and it will be delivered in about five minutes. The terms were simple and straightforward, no dime to be collected. After getting your signature and your husband's, it will be finalized without needing your presence.” The Lawyer, Miss Yhonda, explained just as I wanted.

I called Evelyn late last night crying and telling her all about the party. I could feel her rage though she was miles away. She encouraged me to get the divorce I wanted and she promised to be by my side. She sent Miss Yhonda's contact information as she was one of her older cousin's friends.

I smiled in contentment and rubbed my arms comfortingly. “Thank you very much.” I appreciated it from the depth of my heart.

She was able to get it all done though it was the weekend and she was quite attentive and comforting.

“Anytime.” We exchanged goodbyes and I hung up. I glanced at the time and hoped Ross hadn't left yet. I was dressed in dark blue high waist jeans and a white button up shirt. My clothes were getting a bit tight but everyone assumed I was just getting fat due to being married.

Maybe they were right.

I wore my heels and carried my bag and walked out of my room slowly and let out a deep breath. As I strolled down the stairs, the mansion seemed rather quiet and somewhat empty, it made me wonder if I was up too early.

Though it was 9 am on a Sunday, they were usually up earlier than this. The staff were most likely discussing the events of last night.

The doorbell rang and as I quickened my steps, I started feeling dizzy. I was just hungry and I moved too quickly.

“Good morning, Mrs Terra. How was your night?” The maid questioned with a bright smile before reverted her attention towards the door and it revealed a delivery man.

I stood next to the maid and communicated through my eyes for her to leave. She frowned but nodded before scurrying away.

“Good morning, I have a document for Terra Anderson.” He announced right before handing me a brown envelope.

“I am she.” He nodded then handed me a paper pad for me to sign.

“Thank you.” He said and I smiled weakly before shutting the door. I sighed deeply and opened the envelope, the heading alone read.

PETITION FOR A DIVORCE……

“Going somewhere?” I looked up from the document and I was quite startled by the sound of Ross’ voice. He was coming down the stairs with her eyes fixated on me, looking at him just got me angry and heartbroken. He was dressed in his corporate attire, black slacks and a black collar. I was certain he was headed to work because based on the conversation I had overheard, they were working on a new expansion of their hotels.

“Let's have breakfast before I leave for work.” He spoke coldly and I scoffed at how he still had an attitude.

I didn't utter a word, I simply walked to the dining area, where I had seen about three maids speaking in hushed tones as they arranged the table for breakfast.

“Good morning sir. Good morning ma'am.” They greeted then walked away leaving one who was to serve us standing beside Ross but he dismissed her.

We both took a seat and I stared at the mouth watering delicacies, though I was hungry, I didn't have any appetite for it. Ross began to serve his food, dig in and stared at his iPad not once did he utter a single word.

I sucked my teeth sharply making him look up meeting my eyes, which were most likely swollen.

“Here are the divorce papers.” I announced staring into his eyes while stretching out the envelope and his facial expression turned confused.

The sound of his silverware clashing on the plate rang through the room. I just kept a straight face watching his every move.

“You are joking, aren't you?” He chuckled humorlessly collecting the envelope from me. His facial expression was emotionless as he read the contents of the divorce papers.
