Scarlett’s POV:
I wanted to turn around but Charles put his hand on my shoulders and did not let me look back.
“Forget it.”
“I feel like someone is following us.”
“Don’t worry about it. As long as I am with you everything will be fine.”
“Does it have something to do with our marriage. How about you put your assistant on it to find out.” I felt a little uneasy so I wanted to shed light on it
“Let’s talk about it after visiting grandma.” Charles just did not look like he was taking it seriously at all.
“We can’t stall any longer Charles. Everything will get more complicated once Rita sees that news.” I knew Rita well enough to believe that she will come after me again I was exhausted being caught up in the mess. I just wanted it to over as soon as possible
Suddenly Charles stopped. He turned around and forced me to face him. He stared at me deeply with his dark eyes
I don’t know what sett him off again. He stepped forward and I retreated until I was against the wall.
“Charles..”
I muttered but he did not say anything. He just looked into my eyes as if he was trying to find something there. As I swellowed and my cheeks burned, he braced one hand against the wall beside my head and brushed my hair off my face with other.
“I told you not to mention her in front of me.”
My heart started racing. I leaned against the wall to avoid his touch. When he got close enough for us to share the same breath, I panicked and run away towards the direction of Christine’s ward.
“Do you really want to divorce me?” Charles screamed after me. I stopped. I turned on my heel and gave him a determined look.
“Yes! I do! I want it!” The affectionate look on his face quickly melted away like snow on noon’s day sun. I stood my ground as he started shooting daggers at me with his eyes.
“It’s you who is making excuses since the beginning. I don’t want to do this anymore, okay? Rita and I both want that divorce to happen, so just let’s get over it.”
As a lump laodged itself into my throat I turned around and run towards Christiane’s ward.
As I entered I heard Christin and Alice’s discussion about announcing mine and Charles marriage to public.
“We should just tell the world that Charles and Scarlett are married. that’s the only way to shut down the rumour mill.”
“I think that’s a great idea.”
My chest tightened and I protested immediately.
“No”
“Why” Alice gave me a confused look.
Before I could reply, Charles entered I looked that him silently, begging for help, hoping he would explain.
But he stood there, crossed his arm over the chest and leand himself against the wall.
“Scarlett dear why do you want it? I know Charles and you I have already slept together. What if you…” Alice did not finish her sentence but everyone present there understood what did she meant to say.
Christine turned her head towards me and looked at me as if Alice has announced that I was already pregnant.
I sighed helplessly and started explaining again, “Granda, Mom Charles and I have slept on the same couch but nothing happened. Besides Charles has someone he loves, someone he wants to marry…”
“Ouch, ouch my head hurts! It hurts!” Before I could finish my explanation Christine held her head with both her hands and whimpered.
Alice rushed over to hold her and helped her to lie down, than looked at me with reproachfull eyes.
“Scarlett grandma is not feeling well. She could not stand listening about awful woman. If you wish her to live longer, stop bringing up that woman.”
I stood beside Christine’s bed, looked at her and sighed.
She, Michael, Lawrence and Alice had agreed to let me and Charles get a divorce, but now they were all working together to keep us from going through the formalities.
Once again my hands were tied.
I stood there and watched Christine close her eyes. Then Charles walked over, grabbed my hand and towed me out of the ward. Next thing I knew we were sitting at the back seat of his car which was parked at the hospital’s gates.
“We Are never getting divorce now are we?” I turned to Charles and spoke to him in accusatory tone. I did not bother to rein in my emotions anymore.
“Grandma and Grandpa are not in good health, I can’t upset them.” Charles frowned and looked out of the window.
“But what about us? We had the perfect opportunity to end this when grandpa folded and gave me our marriage certificate, why didn’t you pull the plug with me then. We talked about this properly, Charles. We agreed on a clean break but you stalled at every turn and now here are we going in the opposite direction and growing more hateful of each other with each passing day. We should have been at peace with our own different paths by now, but we are only getting more and more entangled. Aren’t you tired of all of it?”
“I don’t hate you Scarlett” Charles turned to me and looked straight into my eyes.
“Well it’s not reason enough to drag this out Charles. Rita doesn’t have all the time in the world. The longer you stay married to me, the shorter time you will have with her. Do you really have it in you to break a dying woman’s heart.”
“Wow! I really underestimated your ability to piss me off.” Charles gnashed his teeth together in anger.
“What? I was just telling that truth.” I backfired.
He ran his fingers through his hair in frustration and then he screamed in a voice that I had never heard before.
“Get out”
As the driver and I struggled to calm down after being so startled by Charles sudden outburst, the lock on the door clicked.
I got out of the car and Charles snapped at the driver to leave. I stood there until the car disappeared from my view
My heart was still pounding against my rib cage. I really, really infuriated Charles this time and it was all for nothing.
We were still not getting a divorce.
Charles POV:
As the car launched forward I watched Scarlett’s figure shrink and shrink through the rear view mirror. I was so angry at what she said that I seriously considered shuttering one of my car windows with my fist.
The more I thought about it the more and depressed I became. Scarlett always put things I did not want to face in front of me and forced me to confront them.
I picked up my phone and called David and invited him to drink with me.
Half an hour later, David finally arrived at the bar. I had already finished and entire bottle of wine and the waiter was helping me open a second one.
“What’s up? Are you unhappy because your marriage has been exposed.” David casually asked as soon as he sat down.
“No I am not.”
“Then why are you drinking like a fish again.”
I tapped my fingers on the table and shot him a death glare.
“I don’t want a divorce.”
“What? What about Rita? You promised to marry her and give her the happily ever after life.” David looked at me in shock.
“She will have her own future.” I lowered my eyes and looked at my glass as the waiter refilled it.
