Tonia stayed her ground as he got closer and closer, the stick in her hand now pressing at his neck.
“Ton, please give me one more chance.” “Just one.”
“It’s too late now,” Tonia said firmly. “I’m pregnant.”
Raph stopped moving. “But Sammy said you’re not—”
“He’s not me.” How would he know? ”
Raph swallowed hard, holding on to a glimmer of hope. “How far along?”
Tonia answered coldly, “It’s not yours.” Let’s go back and finish the forms.
She turned around and went back inside, where Sammy was waiting for her. “Are you okay?”
She nodded. “What is he going to do? Hit me? ”
Sammy laughed. “That’s a good point.”
Tonia sat down and waited. Raph still hadn’t come back after a few minutes.
She groaned and said to Ayra, “Can you go get him?” Let’s just get things over with.
Ayra bit her lip and went outdoors.
Ayra came back with Raph a little while later. She gave him a pen and pointed to the blank place on the form. “Sign it,” she said.
Tonia saw out of the corner of her eye that Raph’s hand was shaking so much that he could hardly grasp the pen. In the end, Ayra had to help him sign by guiding his hand.
“Done, Tonia.”
“Thanks.”
Ayra grinned and said, “No problem.”
The papers was turned in, and soon the divorce certificate was ready.
Tonia felt like the person she used to be had really died the day she jumped off that skyscraper as the official stamp pushed down.
“Do we have to give back the marriage licence?”Tonia took it out of her bag and gave it to him.
Raph remarked in a low voice, “I didn’t bring mine.”
Tonia was angry. “Go home and get it.”
“I lost track of where I put it.” I can’t find it.
Sammy stepped in and said, “The last time you showed it to me, you left it under the coffee table in the living room.”
Raph stared up at him, and his eyes were hard to read.
“I can have it sent over by a courier if you want,” Sammy said. ”
Frank cut in, “No need.” We no longer take marriage certificates. You can keep it.”
“Oh, thank you,” Raph said with a breath of relief.
Then Tonia got up and left without looking back.
Sammy followed her. “Where are we going now?”
“Where can I get a paper shredder?”
“Most likely a store that sells office supplies.”
“Bring me there.”
“But it’s not easy to tear up a marriage certificate.”
Tonia considered for a second. “Then I’ll set it on fire.”
“Okay,” Sammy said with a smirk.
“Did you really get a divorce from him?”
Tonia and Jane had lunch together. This time, Jane donned a mask and sunglasses.
Tonia stared at her with concern. “You can’t keep living like this.” How much cash do you need? “Jane laughed. “What? Is the rich lady who just got divorced going to save me from my misery? ”
Tonia was really thinking about it.
Raph had fulfilled his word. He had given her all of her assets, but she didn’t know if Sammy had anything to do with it. After all, property division was his job as a lawyer.
Jane waved it off. “No, you should keep that money.” There are a lot of people out there that want to catch a rich single woman like you. “Pretty boys can trick you, so be careful.”
Tonia thought about a certain handsome boy who just so happened to be much richer than she was.
Raph had told her once that Sammy was Robert Blunt’s only grandchild. Robert intended Sammy to take over the family business, but Sammy became a lawyer instead.
Robert was so angry that he sent many ladies to seduce Sammy in the hopes that one of them would give him a great-grandchild. But no matter what Robert did, Sammy wouldn’t give in.
Robert had changed his mind about going after Sammy and instead started pushing women towards Sammy’s father. When Sammy’s mother found out, it almost led to their divorce.
“Ton, take care of yourself,” Jane urged. ”
“Yes.” You too.
“I-”
Jane began to speak, but her face changed all of a sudden, and she hastily ducked down.
Tonia looked outdoors and saw someone.
Sammy strolled over with a bag of groceries in his hand.
Tonia was shocked. “Did you install a tracker on me? How do you always know where I am? ”
Sammy looked down and saw Jane hiding under the table.
Jane put her hands together and begged without saying a word.
Before answering, Sammy stepped to the side so that Jane couldn’t see him.
“I was going to go home after getting some groceries, but I ran into a client on the way.” He had to come this way, so I drove him there.
“A client? ”
“Yes.”
Tonia abruptly put two and two together when Jane seemed frightened. She questioned right away, “Is he still in your car?”
Sammy nodded and said, “Yes.” I came to get you, and he’s in the car waiting.
“I’m just going to the toilet,” Tonia said. “Wait for me in the car.”
Sammy played along. “There’s not much room to park here.” I’ll relocate the car to the lot in front of you and then come back for you.
“Ton, please give me one more chance.” “Just one.”
“It’s too late now,” Tonia said firmly. “I’m pregnant.”
Raph stopped moving. “But Sammy said you’re not—”
