Chapter 1 Divorce Paper
- Gael can hear the clock's ticking in his ears. As he continued to wait for a response on his phone, he glanced up and noticed that it was almost eleven o'clock. His heart was filled with heaviness. Even though it is now becoming dark outside, he has still not seen his wife, which makes him even more anxious.
- Although he was accustomed to his wife arriving home later than usual, he still didn't anticipate that she would do so on their anniversary. He waited until another hour had passed. He observed the clock reading twelve midnight. He picks up the phone and enters a number.
- It rings. But no one answered.
- When the clock hits the one o' clock a.m. Gael decided to stood up and went outside to look for his wife. He went to her condo but the guard stop him.
- "Sir, Ma'am is not here."
- "I will just look for her inside. Maybe, she is already asleep."
- He tried to pursue the guard again. He understood why the guard did not treat him well. He is known in the city as just a husband who did nothing but rely on his wife.
- "Why are you so angry? Get out of here because this is not what you're looking for? Get out of here if you don't want us to drag you out.
- "Please..."
- The guard became annoyed, he called his partner before they pulled Gael out.
- "You're just nonsense to your wife. Ms. Zoey Hillary doesn't deserve to have a trash like you beside her." The other guard said before they left him there.
- Gael look up to the sky as he felt something landed on his face. He just sat there even though rain started pouring. He decided to wait for his wife.
- He love her so much. The two of them first met when Zoey save her in some of unfamiliar people he didn't know the moment he came to the city. Both of them got along with each other until an one night stand happen to the two of them.
- He did try to compensate her with the wrist watch that his father gave him as a gift and said to her that he didn't mean to do anything harm to her but Zoey initiated that he needed to marry her to take a responsibility for what happened to her. Since, it is his fault and he like her, he agreed.
- He thought that Zoey is different from other women. But, after they got married, Zoey found out that he has nothing and with that her true attitude came out. They live in the small house that he buy using the wrist watch that his father gave him. After they got married did he only realize that Zoey thought that he is rich. He can't leave because he love her and it is something that is important to him more than anyone else.
- Gael snapped out on his thought when a light from the car went to his view. He stood up the moment the door of the car opened by a guy and his wife came out. He is ready to take a step when he saw how his wife grab the guy and kiss him.
- "Thanks for a wonderful night."
- Gael gritted his teeth.
- "You make my night wonderful, Zoey. I'll wait for you tomorrow in the event."
- "All right." Gael saw how his wife unable to stand still. He had the thought that she got drunk. When the car is already out of the sight, Gael dashed to her side.
- "Zoey."
- "Oh, Gael, tss." Gael immediately grab her wrist that makes her shock. "Hey, let me go. Bastard let me go!!"
- "Zoey you're not a kid anymore! You know that you already have a husband!"
- "You are useless. Let me go!" Gael didn't listen to her but instead, he call a cab and ride in it immediately. "Be ready at home." Zoey whispered. She couldn't shout at him as she is a well known model and there is a person aside from them.
- Slap!
- The moment they entered their house. Gael felt a sting in his left cheek. He hold his cheek as he couldn't believe what Zoey did to him.
- "You piece of trash! You are nonsense and useless. I don't want to see you anymore inside my house."
- Gael refrain himself.
- "Zoey...you know that I..love you." He said, trying not to stuttered but he failed.
- Zoey smirk as she laughed, "of course. You're just an idiot. I wouldn't have married you and save you if there is no bet for thousand bucks. In addition to that, If I know that you are not rich then I will never look at you. You're easy to fool haha."
- Gael felt the ache in his heart. He couldn't believe what he heard. Every insult that Zoey is throwing to him, it felt someone stab him a million times.
- "And you know what? A model and a CEO like me didn't deserve you. I deserve a guy like Cole Huarez. His family is reach and I..."
- "A bitch."
- Zoey knitted her brows when she heard the words that Gael said.
- "What did you say?"
- "You're a bitch."
- After that, Gael pull her and kiss her angrily.
- One hour passed.
- Looking to the woman lying on the small bed. Gael tried his best not to cry in front of her.
- "A bitch like you deserve to be treated that way. Sorry, I don't have money to pay you. You can have my home."
- "Bastard! How dare you molested me!"
- "I am still your husband right now. Let's get divorce, Zoey. I felt disgusted to you."
- "Ha! What do you think I feel?! Do you think I enjoy it?!" Zoey shouted angrily but Gale look at her eyes.
- "Isn't it?" Zoey didn't able to answer him because Gael started to walk out of the room. "Useless bastard! Don't come back here!"
- Gael took a glance and said, "I will never come back to this house."
- "Argh!!"
- The moment Gael came out of the room, his tears started to roll down again. All his life, his mother told him to treated women with respect, honor and take care of them as of they are a gem.
- But, what Zoey did to him right night felt awful and he realize that his father was right. You need to use your brain when dealing with women. Remembering that day, he got his phone and dial a number.
- "What is it now?"
- "Dad, I want to go home."
- "You finally make a sense out of your head. Wait for a while. I will call someone to pick you up."
- "All right." Gael sigh as he hang up his phone. Looking up to the second floor, he saw Zoey smirking at him.
- "Who did you call?! Some trash like you too?! Listen up, my dear. Did you know that Cole bought me a car. A car that is brand new and limited. What can a trash like you buy for me."
- Gael look up and then lower his head, "I also buy you a gift! Why do you compare me to him!"
- "Because the two of you are different. Cole is at the same level just like I am but you are not! You don't have to worry about the divorce agreement because I already prepared it for you."
- Gael look up again and look at her curiously.
- "You're mumbling nonsense. It can't be."
- "It can. Here, catch!"
- Gael clench his fist the moment he catches the envelope. He open it and saw that it is really a divorce agreement.
- "I don't have a pen!"
- "Gosh, you also don't have that? Why are you such..."
- Beep...beep..
- "Oh my! It can be Cole!"
- Gael just shook his head as he headed to the small gate of their house.
- "Welcome back master." Gael just nodded while the guy open the door for him.
- "Who the hell are you?!" Zoey were shocked to see other person instead of Cole.
- "Hand me a pen."
- "Yes, young master.."he paused before he get a pen and gave it to Gael. "Here it is, young master."
- "W-What? Y..Young master?" Zoey were even more shocked when he heard that. Her face fallen ashen as she realize something but the she stifle a laugh.
- "Here." He shoved the documents on her.
- "W-What?" Zoey was shocked when Gael shove it to her. "Jerk, sign the divorce paper now and never see your face in front of me!"
- "I already sign the divorce paper.....Let's go." After that, he enter the car and the butler close it. Even the car already left, Zoey were still standing with confuse gaze but then she laughed as she found it funny.
- "What a joke! Haha.. He really rented a car to use. Ha? He's really pathetic".
