Max POV
“What are you doing here Max?” She snapped as soon as she saw me, it was clearly obvious she was displeased by my presence but that was the least of things that mattered to me at the moment.
I walked closer to where she stood with her best friend, whose expression seemed displeased as well. Arranging my cap to cover up my face very well from recognition, I stopped just two inches away in front of them.
“Come with me Vivian, it’s important” I went straight to the point, I was a straight forward person and didn’t like beating around words.
“And why should I do that Max? The last business we had was signing the divorce papers” She thundered and for a second, I was taken aback by her sudden brevity. Vivian wasn’t someone to lash out bitterly and I wondered if the Divorce had brought out all these hidden part of her.
As interesting as it seemed, I still felt a part of me wreck with guilt.
“Vivian I —-”
“Don’t you even dare utter my name with those lips again Max. Do you still think you have me under you? Do I have to make you understand one more time that we have nothing to do with each other anymore? What do you want from me Max huh?” She asked bitterly, her eyes glaring disdainfully at me. Right now, I could tell she hated me so much.
In my three years of marriage with Vivian, even though it had been on a contract, I had never thought of divorcing her.
Yes! I haven’t been the best husband to her, I had always ignored her completely only needing her to satisfy my sexual urges and help run my company, all these was because she was a whore although I wouldn’t tell her. Her sister, Mary had told me about her sexual life of the fact she was a sex maniac and had sent me pictures of her with a man in a hotel, I had drastically changed towards her because I detested the fact she slept around with men. She disgusted me in a way but one way or the other, I kept having these intense attraction towards her which always pushed me to have sex with her. Vivian was effortlessly beautiful and could turn any man’s head twice but thinking that she fucked around with men made me hate her but even at that, I still wasn’t ready to end our marriage because she kind of gave me the peace of mind that I wanted despite my indifference.
But two weeks ago, Ruth had returned back to the city and while we were catching up, I had told her I couldn’t end my marriage with Vivian, at first she disagreed but after much banter, she came to accept the fact that I couldn’t end my marriage but somehow, we had ended up having sex which I immensely regretted because even though I believed Vivian as a whore, I hadn’t thought about sleeping with any other woman apart from Vivian. That one mistake I had done led to the divorce because Ruth had called a week later that she was pregnant with my child which seemed unbelievable to me at first but after we had gone for checkups on the same day Vivian had met us at the hospital, the tests came out positive for a week pregnancy. And Ruth had threatened to tell my family about the baby if I didn’t Divorce Vivian and knowing how my father loved Vivian and my mother who terribly wished for a grandchild, I had agreed to it but I was shocked the moment my father had called and threatened to hand over chairmanship which was the last asset to my younger brother for divorcing Vivian and how he had found out was what marveled me till now.
For a few moments, I reminisced on how quickly things took turns and no doubt, I still wanted Vivian or should I say, my Ex-wife.
“Vivian” I began in a low calm but impatient voice. ” We’re Divorced but I think I’ll be needing you for a month more” I divulged the information and she gasped.
“What! Needing me for a month more? You must be kidding me Max because I have nothing to do with you anymore!” She yelled, surprising me at how quickly she turned me down at the spot.
“You must think I’m a pushover right? The boring Vivian who would come running into your arms if you came back? You’re joker Max because I will never have anything to do with you! That should ring a bell!” She added with a tone of rage and turned to leave.
In that moment, I knew taking things easy wouldn’t be the best option as I instantly pulled her back against me and and lifted her up with a command “Open the car Now!” I ordered my guards and they immediately the door.
“Let me go! Fucking leave me alone” She kicked her legs freely on the air but I didn’t budge, my hands relaxed on her butt as I held her at a place and walked towards the car and instantly placed her inside and slammed the door closed.
“You can’t forcefully take her against her wish Mr Max” Her best friend’s voice rang out from behind and I turned sharply to face her. Right now, a lot of people already gathered at the scene and if not for my cover up, the media would have swam the area.
” Unlawful abduction of a person against their wish” She added and I smirked.
“It isn’t unlawful when it’s my wife Sofia, is it?” I asked mischievously and she shot an angry look.
“She’s not your wife any longer, you both signed the Divorce papers so–”
“But I haven’t taken it to court and I can also choose to shred the papers which automatically means that Vivian is still my legally married wife isn’t it?” I fired back, cutting in on her words and she gasped in surprise.
“Have a nice day Sofia” I said and with that, I turned, walked into the car and drove off.
