Claire said firmly. Alex body stiffened for a second as if he cannot believe his ears. Earlier Claire begged him to not divorce her but now is the opposite. Claire calm and cool demeanor freaked Alex out, but he tried to remain calm. "Are you toying with me? Is this one of your tricks?" Claire exhaled harshly and wipe the blood on her cheek with the back of her hand. "Listen, Harris, I am not playing with you." Claire took a step forward. "Instead, I am dead serious." Anger are evident in Alex eyes as he stared at her. For a moment, he search Claire's face to find out if she is telling the truth or just lying. "Fine, I will get the paper." Alex exit the kitchen to proceed to bring the divorce paper. Claire raised her brows at Lisa, her now ex best friend. "What?" Claire said coldly, Lisa was about to respond but think otherwise. Claire made her way to the living room so casually as if she owns the place. She plopped down the expensive custom couch while her eyes capturing every detail. "You know, I have never admire the true beauty of this penthouse. No wonder he brought you here." said Claire with such ease. A paper are being thrown on the coffee table. "Sign it."
