Sweet Divorce

Chapter 84 She’s Mine

Outside W. University, a limousine slowly parked.

Liam glanced over the gate, his fingers tapping on the chair in a lazy way. His anger was mitigated on the way and his sanity was regained.

He didn’t get off the car, which bewildered Jacob.

Through the rear mirror, Jacob peeked at Liam only to find him looking at the entrance evenly.

His hand lay on the handle a few times, but he withdrew it each time.

Liam was hesitating?

For all the years Jacob had known Liam, this was the first time he had seen him acted in impulse.

And he did this for a girl!

He didn't even do this for Joey before.

Liam’s crazy in love with Rita, Jacob thought.

So crazy that he loses himself in it.

Liam reached out his phone and dialed Rita’s number while Jacob was drifting away.

“Where are you?

“School. What?” Rita asked, puzzled.

Liam said plainly. “With whom?”

“…classmates.” She answered curtly, glancing over the people surrounding her.

Meanwhile, Oliver’s eyes glittered when he overheard their conversation. Intentionally, he stepped up and said teasingly.

“Who are you calling, sweetie?”

Liam face was dreadfully dark when he heard Oliver’s voice.

The photo was true, they were together.

And he called her sweetie.

It’s like oil on a dying fire. For an instant, the fury flared and blazed.

Oliver’s intervention shocked her in a way.

She gazed at him and whirled to the balcony where was quieter. She cleared her throat and said.

“Well, you…”

“I’m right outside your school.”Liam cut her off, his voice low and cold. “Meet me, now!”

Then all she could hear was the beeping of the phone.

Helplessly, she pinched the bridge of her nose.

Reluctant as she was to see Liam, she still had to due to their collaboration.

She reached her coat while looking at Isabelle and her computer guy. “I have an emergency. Excuse me. And please, find out the poster, thanks.”

“Where are you going?”

Isabelle and the guy kept silent. However, Oliver asked her curiously.

But Rita ignored him and just headed outside.

Oliver trailed off her.

In a line they walked, Rita’s face was dark. No word.

“You’re mad?”

Oliver grabbed her.

Forced to stop, Rita raised her eyes to look at this man who was smiling unctuously. “I told you before, I want no part of your discrepancy.”

Oliver’s smiled faded, he knew she’s really mad now.

“I…” NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

“Are you trying to make Liam angry by flirting with me? If so, you’re barking up to the wrong tree.” She meant nothing to Liam.

She cut his explanation and wrenched her hand from him. “I hope this is the last time. If you ever do it again, we aren’t friends no more.”

Somebody used her to get Liam mad before. And the reaction Liam had left a shadow in her heart forever.

That was why she tried everything to divorce, to leave the Wilson ever since her rebirth.

She didn’t want to imprisoned or treated like dirt anymore.

She couldn’t live that way anymore. Stubborn though she was in her previous life, she still failed to change Liam.

This time, she would never touch his bottom line.

And she had her own bottom line too. You want to be friend? Cool. But she had no tolerance for friend who tried to use her.

She whirled and resumed her walk.

Her accusation stung Oliver. When he heard her say “we aren’t friend no more”, he felt a sudden spasm somewhere in his chest.

He trotted up after a few moment of pausing.

“Rita…”

He tried to grab her arm and explained, but Liam suddenly showed up out of nowhere and stood between them. So he swallowed back his words.

The air wall filled with hostility.

Rita floundered when she sensed the intensity.

She turned around. Liam gave her a sideway look before she got to talk. “The car’s outside the front gate. Wait there in the car.”

“What do you want to do?” Nervously, she looked at them both.

Liam smiled. “Just talk, about something private.”

“Listen to him, sweetie. We do need to talk.” Oliver said.

To her surprise, the two of them reached an agreement for the first time

She looked at them both apprehensively. “Talk, only talk, don't get in fight.”

She then left with their implied consent.

She knew that it’s no use keep the foes away from each other.

They’re bound to face their feud sooner or later.

It would be great if they could hash out today, then she wouldn’t be stuck in the middle anymore.

A layer of ice crept up Liam’s soon as Rita left.

“Stay away from her!”

Oliver smiled indifferently. “Why?”

“We don’t have to involve others into our issue.”

“Cool, I will leave her out of this. But the leg you owe my brother, I will take it back.” Speaking of his brother, a rare look of seriousness appeared on Oliver’s face.

His hands coiled into fists, crackling.

“I’ll be waiting…but it’s no easy task if you want my leg. “Liam looked at Oliver in a provocative way.

“You want to fight me. Grow up first, child.”

He whirled to leave but halted the next second.

Once again his eyes laid on Oliver. “Stay away from her.”

“I’m afraid I can’t. she’s single, I’m single, I have the right to chase her.”

He knew about the divorce agreement?

He and Rita were that close now? So close that Rita told him about the divorce agreement?

That thought of Rita falling in love with other man filled him with jealousy.

He managed to keep his calmness on the surface though.

He looked at Oliver evenly. “She’s mine. Stay away from her if you don’t want to risk your life.”

Whoever intended to touch his girl, he would send him to Satan.

Oliver relieved when Liam left.

Plain though his tone was, the domineering air of his gave chills to Oliver.

It was the first time he stood up to Liam, and now he knew the difference between them.

His uncle was right, it was not the time of revenge yet.

He’ll be patient, until the day that he could put him to death with just one punch.

He would make him pay.

…

Back in the car, Liam kept his face dark.

It was dead silence and the air was suffocating.

Jacob peeked over the two sitting in the backseat, sweat all over his palm.

Don’t piss him off, Rita. He prayed.

God damn it! Why did this always happen to him?

“Why did you bring me here.”

Finally, Rita broke the silence.

Liam fumbled out a cigarette and took a good puff of it. Soon the smoke filled the small space of the car, obscuring Liam’s expression.

“What’s with you and Oliver?”

“The photo. I’m working on it.”

The man looked daggers at her soon as she finished. “I ask you, your relationship with Oliver, how far do you get now?”

The aggression in his eyes made Rita’s body stiffened.

Liam, however, took her silence as she admitted that she was in relationship with Oliver.

He took another puff, said coldly. “End it.”

“What?” End what?

Confused, Rita looked at Liam.

“You can’t be with him.”

He put out the cigarette and jerked his head aside to look at Rita, “understood?”

Rita was even more confused now, her eyes blinking, her brain running fast trying to understand what was happening. Is he trying to stop me from seeing Oliver?

“Go!”

Liam demanded Jacob while Rita was still stunned.

Jacob nodded hurriedly and started the engine.

“Wait, I’m still here.”

“Stay at home for the next few days, don’t come here.”

Liam said evenly. Rita’s eyes widened.

What are you doing, Liam?
