Chapter 44
Oliver walked into his Grandfather’s room with teary eyes; he could not believe he had just done that. He had divorced the woman who he loved with his whole heart.
He looked towards his grandfather and did not know if he was to hate the old man, he had made him do something he would never think of doing before. Just then he remembered the Lawyer’s words and he felt like crying like a baby.
The day the lawyer had mentioned Divorce, if he was not in a good mood, then he would have dealt with the lawyer, he never believed that a day like this would come.
Oliver approached his grandfather on the bed. Nora was sitting on his bedside; Oliver wished he could drag her by the hair and throw her out of his house for ruining his life, but he would not dare to.
“Leave us,” he ordered in a stern voice.
She looked up at him with a crumpled face and then back down to Grandpa Go.
“Why should she leave? You can stay with me dear,” Grandpa Go defended her.
“I said get out!” Oliver yelled at the top of his voice.
Nora sighed and stood up, “Grandpa Go, I will be back later to check on you,” she said and smiled, then she shot Oliver a mocking glance and walked out.
“You have sent her away? Are you happy now?” Grandpa Go asked and looked to the opposite side.
“Well you have ruined my life, so happy now?” Oliver queried back.
Grandpa Go turned back to face him, “What have I done this time around? You are always accusing your old man of your failures.” He scoffed.
Oliver brought out the papers and showed him. “You wanted me to divorce Aria right? Well I have done that, now please take your drugs and have something to eat,” he pleaded.
Grandpa Go smiled as he saw the papers; he stretched his hand and took them from Oliver. “Good, now you are starting to behave like a Gomez should behave.”
“So will you take your drugs now?” Oliver asked.
“Oh, not yet… your job is still not complete.”
“What? What do you mean Grandpa? You said you wanted Aria out of my life and I have done that, I have broken up with her so please take your drugs now…” he pleaded.
“Yes, I asked you to divorce that woman and marry Nora, only then would I listen to what you say,” he argued.
“But Grandpa, the wedding process would take time and you can’t wait that long before eating and taking medication, you might not survive, please just eat your food and take your drugs,” Oliver pleaded.
“Fine, the wedding can happen later but before I eat anything, this divorce would have to be official. There is no court stamp on it yet which means it is not yet official. You have to take it to court and bring it into effect before I take my drugs,” he blackmailed.
Oliver groaned. He knew that his grandfather was a very difficult man and too smart for his own good, he would gain nothing arguing with the old man so it was best he did as he said. The longer he stayed here, the more the damage.
“Alright Grandpa, I will go and get it to the marriage lawyer, I will cancel the marriage certificate and make our divorce official, please just eat something before I come back,” he pleaded and the old man hummed.
“Alright, I will leave now,” he concluded and turned to the door.
“Call Nora to stay with me as you leave,” he instructed.
Oliver crumpled his face, “Whatever you want,” he grumbled and walked out of the door.

Rosie arrived at the Gomez mansion and headed to Aria’s room. The servants greeted her on the way but she just ignored them and matched on to her destination.
She got to the room upstairs and knocked, the door opened and she came to meet her best friend crying. She felt pain engulf her chest at the sight of that, Aria was like her own flesh and blood and they shared each other’s emotions.
If Oliver shows up when Aria is still in tears, then she might do something really bad to him for hurting her best friend.
Rosie rushed in and hugged Aria immediately while she sobbed on her shoulders. “It is over Rosie, it is over,” she cried.
“No don’t say that Aria, it can never be over for you as long as you are breathing and you have me by your side, tell me what happened,” she requested and pulled out of the hug, then closed the door.
Aria walked to the bed and sat down, trying to hold back the tears but they did not need her permission to flow down her cheeks.
“Remember I told you that he left last night and never came back? After I dropped the call with you, he walked in smelling of alcohol. He must have spent the night in a club, he had the divorce papers with him and asked me to sign them. When I asked him why he was doing this, he said that his grandfather would only take food and medications after he sees the divorce papers,” Aria narrated.
“What? That is absurd and ridiculous, it was not enough reason for him to ask you to do that, who does he think he is to decide when the relationship starts and ends? Does he think you are a commodity he can order and get rid of whenever he wishes?” Rosie barked, she was feeling infuriated
“I don’t know what is right and wrong again sis, but what has happened has happened already, I am no longer married to Stark Oliver Gomez, I lost and Nora won,” she cried.
“No, don’t say that Aria, you are never a loser, you just had the wrong player on your team. I always knew it, men are all chameleons, they should never be trusted because they only care about their own feelings.”
“I thought he was different, he promised he would stand by my side forever, that he would be with me and always fight for me, but here he gave up so suddenly because his old man threatened to commit suicide.”
“That is exactly my point Aria; he gave up on you so soon. Perhaps he had been interested in Nora all along and finally he decided to use this excuse to get rid of you. I mean, you can’t trust this men, there are a million and one other ways he could have saved his father’s life but he didn’t think twice, he chose to betray you, to kick you out of his life.” Rosie said and went closer to her.
“I don’t know what to do now sis, where should I go from here?” Aria asked and broke into tears again.
“Are you seriously asking that? I told you on the phone to pack your bags before I got here, why haven’t you done that?” Rosie queried in a serious voice while Aria cried.
“Never mind, I will do that for you.” She added, and then headed to Aria’s wardrobe.
Aria just sat on the bed crying her eyes out. She can’t believe how quickly everything had happened. She had made Oliver promise her countless times that he was going to be with her forever but even that was not enough to save their marriage.
She started to imagine Nora’s mocking voice, laughing at her and calling her a loser. No! She would not be able to stand the humiliation, it was better she left because if she didn’t, there was also a possibility that Oliver would kick her out himself. After making her sign the divorce papers, she doubted that there was nothing he couldn’t make her do.
