**Amaya's P.O.V**
When I arrived at his office I was given immediate access, it seemed he was sure I was going to come.
I opened the door to his office to see Aiden having a somewhat serious conversation with a handsome, tall man with a sexy scar on his face emanating a dangerous aura.
I stood at the entrance after shutting the door not wanting to gt any closer.
"I've been expecting you baby, why'd you take so long?" he said immediately he noticed me.
"Mr Marcelo, it seems you haven't introduced me to this beauty"
"This is my wife, Amaya" he said with a proud smile plastered on his face and hearing him call me his wife, I felt a wave of nausea hit me.
"Don't you dare call me that, and is this really what you want to do?, act innocent?"
"Mr Marcelo, if i may be an inconvenience I think I should excuse you both"
"Mr Deveraux, that's not necessary, My wife's just being stubborn, we will resolve this quickly"
"What are you talking about?, I heard what happened today, I was honestly disappointed in him, how dare him lay a hand on my woman?" he said facing me.
"Don't call me that, we are fucking divorced"
"Are we still on this?, we both know your emotions were running wild at that moment, I know you didn't mean to, I'll forgive you this one time"
What that actual fuck!
Aiden really knows how to get on my nerves, what did he mean by he could forgive me this one time?
Did I look like someone who came to beg him to take me back?
Now I was so sure that Aiden is mentally unstable, it was clear that he needed help.
"What do you take me for?, you really think I came back here to beg you, Aiden YOU…. NEED…..HELP"
"We are divorced, get that into your fucking brain, and if you thought redrawing your investment will force me back into a marriage with a monster like you then you must be joking"
"You need the investment more than your Dad does if I'm right?"
"But why do you want me back much? Why sleep with Valerie and try to force me to come back to you?"
He was silent
"If you love me so much then why?"
"I just can't bear to see the arms of another man around my property, I never said I'm in love with you, I just don't like sharing"
"I'M NOT YOUR PROPERTY OR AN OBJECT YOU CAN CONTROL"
"So why exactly did you come to my office, don't tell me you wasted my time to say this?"
I pulled off the ring on my finger and headed close to his table then leaning down I slammed it on his table.
"I forgot to return this,.keep it well for Valerie"
A smirk appeared on his lips as he pulled me into a kiss, in that moment everything around me seemed to freeze.
Without thinking twice I kissed him back, this was what I always wanted, but why did it seem so wrong?
I felt the urge to pull away, but the picture of him and Valerie last night lingered in my mind.
He is the one person that I'm supposed to hate, he cost me my freedom, he used me for 3 years but why did I succumb to him?
"Don't you dare beg that jerk" Elly's words rang in my mind.
What was I doing?
I pulled away and slapped him hard across his face.
"You've gone too far Aiden"
With tears pricking the side of my eyes I left his office.
I came here to prove to him that he couldn't break me but here I was kissing him, I gave him the reaction he wanted.
The weak little Amaya he'd always known, I gave him the assurance that I wanted this and now I feel like a fool.
I left his company, shame hovering over me, where was I gonna go?
I had nowhere.
I sat on a roadside bench and tried to switch on my phone to see if I could accept Aaron's offer but u realized it was dead and I had no change on me. Why did I have to be so unlucky?
I watched cars go and come by, hours passed and I still hadn't left, eventually rain started drizzling.
Across the road, a car light lit up, the same black SUV I was sure hadn't moved for hours, like it was waiting for me, or watching me.
The first person who came to my mind was Aiden.
But this wasn't his car, throughout the 3 years I had lived with him I had never seen him use this car.
Or did he hire someone to follow me?
I initially decided to stay through the rain but the thought of Aiden watching me sent shivers down my spine.
I stood up admist the drizzles, trying to not to look panicked although I felt my heart could be pulled out of my chest any moment from now.
I kept walking and thankfully the car didn't follow me, then I rushed to the club I had noticed was nearby.
It's not such a bad idea, is it?
The rain slowly got heavier by every passing minute and I was thankful that I had rushed here.
I ordered a drink at the counter as soon as I got in. I kept ordering as I was using it to oppress my urge to shed tears.
After about an hour of continuous drinking, I proceeded to leave when the bartender called me back.
"You haven't paid, Young lady"
"Oh" I said then remembered I had no cash on me. Why did this unfortunate event have to happen today when half of my senses are dulled?
Knowing that I had no money, I pretended to check my bag for some money, and as expected I found nothing.
"I think I forgot my purse, and I have no other cash with me, could you lend me some money?" Immediately I said it l I felt so ashamed, it hadn't soundef like this in my head.
'What was I thinking asking a bartender to lend me some money to pay for something I just bought from him?' I thought to myself.
"I have no cash with me too, you owe a lot you know, but our club is willing to create another measure for payment"
"You just have to entertain some important VIP guest, you know we are currently short on pretty staff" He said with a devious smile plastered on his face.
Why did I have a bad feeling about this?
