CHAPTER 040
OLIVIA’S POV
I wasn’t going to take that from her.
“What did you just say?” I said, walking closer to her, my fists clenched by my sides. Adrian’s attention immediately shifted towards me, sensing the tension..
“You heard what I said. You’re a whore,” Dora repeated, her voice laced with arrogance and zero hesitation.
I let out a dry laugh, shaking my head. “That’s really neat coming from someone like you.” I gave her a slow, deliberate look from head to toe, my lips curling in distaste. “And what’s that supposed to mean?” she asked, crossing her arms.
“Oh, you know exactly what I mean,” I shot back. “After coming into my marriage and breaking it apart? Should I go on?”
Dora scoffed and took a step forward as if daring me to say more. “Adrian was never yours to begin with,” she said, her voice dripping with mockery.
I tilted my head, a smirk forming on my lips. “I bet that’s what you tell yourself to calm your nerves at night.”
Her expression darkened, and I knew I had hit a nerve.
“Hey, hey,” Adrian’s voice cut in as he stepped between us. “You two need to calm. down.” His eyes flickered with irritation as he turned towards Dora. “Her parents are coming tomorrow, so you will not lay a finger on her.”
Dora’s eyes widened slightly. “Her parents are coming tomorrow? So she’s here to stay. then?” Her tone was bitter, and I could see the jealousy practically oozing from her. Adrian didn’t hesitate. “As a matter of fact, she is. And that’s my decision.”
I crossed my arms, enjoying the look of disbelief on Dora’s face. She looked like she was about to explode, and honestly, it was the most satisfying thing I had seen all day. Adrian exhaled, clearly done with the conversation. “Now, what do you want?”
Dora flipped her hair over her shoulder, regaining her composure. “What do I want? I came to spend the weekend with you,” she said sweetly, batting her lashes like she was some innocent angel.
I rolled my eyes so hard I was surprised they didn’t get stuck at the back of my head. Of course, she did.
Adrian, however, was not amused “Well at won’t be possible. We can
Successfully unlocked! probably reschedule.”
Oh, so he was still keeping his little plaything around? These two had no shame. “No,” Dora said firmly.
CHAPTER 040
Adrian’s brow arched. “What?”
“I’m not rescheduling because of her. I’m staying,” Dora declared..
Adrian’s jaw tightened. I saw the frustration in his eyes as he pinched the bridge of his nose, exhaling deeply. “Fine, you can stay tonight, but you’re leaving tomorrow. And that’s final.”
Dora pouted slightly, clearly wanting more time, but she must have realized that arguing would get her nowhere. Instead, she sighed dramatically. “Alright, fine.”
Oh, this was perfect. I was stuck here, but guess what? She was stuck here too, even if just for a night.
Finally, things were going to get interesting. I couldn’t leave and come find her, but the good Lord had delivered her straight to me. And the little hours she was going to stay here were going to be her worst.
A maid approached Adrian and said, “Sorry for the interruption, sir, but dinner is ready.”
“Thank you,” Adrian replied before turning to us. “You two behave yourselves. Especially you, Olivia.”
But before all that… I had a little side mission to take care of first.
