Macy's POV
I called Loise to check the kids and to ask what had occured last night.
Instead of getting an answer she told me that I should go figure. And I was irresponsible for telling the kids when Oliver and I haven't fixed our problems. But Oliver has made up his mind. Who am I to stop him?
I feel embarrassed. And I derserved her scolding.
I went back to sleep. I couldn't think straight because of my hangover.
But I am still forever grateful that Loise took the kids.
I went to bed and tried to sleep. But I couldn't. I was curious what had happened last night.
I closed my eyes and tried to recall last night bit by bit.
Then I remembered that I saw Oliver but I thought I was hallucinating?! And I told him to choke and die...
Wait... I told him something else.
F*ck! I told him that I loved him. How could I be so stupid!?
I am so stupid. Why did I have to go so low and begged him by telling him how I feel?!
Why Macy?!
Why do you always mess up and do stupid things!!!
I scolded myself.
How can I take it back? I need to let Oliver go. It's over between us.
I tried so hard to sleep but I really couldn't.
I have made up my mind. Once and for all, I'm going to end this mess.
I got out of bed and got dressed. I chose to wear a simple Dolce and Gabbana embroidered tshirt and I paired it with a pair of faded boyfriend jeans.
I have decided to agree with Oliver's lawyer to settle things quietly and to share custody with the kids. I won't even ask any monetary support.
The only way I can get over him is if I put an end into this accidental marriage.
I need to move on...
I drove my car to Oliver's workplace. I took a deep breath before entering. I didn't have to introduce myself as people already knows me.
"Goodafternoon Mrs. Crowne." The reception lady greeted. I only replied with a smile and went straight to the elevator.
I was nervous but I have to do this for myself and my kids.
The elevator opened. Then I walked to the entrance and I saw John.
"Errhmm Goodafternoon Mrs. Crowne." John awkwardly greeted me.
"Hi John. Can I have a word with Oliver please." I asked him nicely.
"Mrs. Crowne, Mr. Crowne is not here, he went overseas this afternoon." John replied.
I was disappointed that he wasn't there. He probably doesn't even want to see me after what I told him while I was drunk last night.
"Can I ask when is he coming back?" I really need to talk to him in person to settle with him personally so I could move on.
"I'm sorry Mrs. Crowne but I have no clue." John finally said.
I bid him goodbye. I went home and went back to bed to try and sleep.
Oliver's POV
I arrived overseas and got to work straight away. I asked for a meeting with everyone concerned and I asked for a thorough audit.
I learned that there was so many politics on the heirarchy that's why the good people resigned and those who were left didn't know what they were doing.
I thought my trip was going to be short but I ended up staying for almost 10 days.
And while I was overseas, my lawyer emailed me that Macy finally agreed to settle our divorce quietly thus we need to set up a meeting with her and her lawyer so we could come up with an agreement. My lawyer also indicated that this is a good thing so we won't have to go to court.
I was disappointed with her. A few nights ago, she told me she loved me. I was going to try and talk to her when I come back.
When John said she came to my office I was hopeful that she wanted to talk so we could figure this out. But no, she probably came to tell me that she had agreed to the divorce.
I was given a bit of hope but then she took it away again. How am I going to face my children? I haven't even got the chance to tell them that I love them and that I'm their dad.
I was getting impatient while overseas. I really want this to be over so I could go home. I really need to see Macy first before we discuss our divorce with our lawyers present.
At some point, one of the managers invited me for a drink. Since I didn't have anything I agreed to it.
We went to a night club. There were a lot of girls throwing themselves at me. But everytime I look at them, all I can see is Macy. So instead of staying late, I decided to go back to the hotel where I was staying before I pass out drunk at the club.
I was drunk but I was still alert enough to hail a taxi and go home.
When I arrived at the hotel, I didn't even bothered changing my clothes. I went straight to bed.
I kept thinking what should I do to convince Macy. I was ready to kneel and beg. I would do anything just to save us and our family.
Macy's POV
I waited for Oliver to contact me regarding our divorce. I waited for him to change his mind. But it has been a week since he left and I had never heard anything.
And I just woke up one morning and concluded that he probably don't love me anymore so I signed the paperworks his lawyer sent me and I sent it back through express post.
After 3 days, his lawyer contacted me and told me that Oliver was still overseas and that he was also okay to set up a meeting with both our lawyers present to discuss an agreement about our divorce.
This is it. I am really going to divorce him. I cried after I talked to his lawyer. Even after all, it still hurt. He tried to use and betray me but it wasn't enough so he is divorcing me to hurt me more.
I keep telling myself to start accepting the fact that he didn't want me anymore.
Since, I was upset. I went home to my kids.
We played and read stories. I hugged them and kissed them. They are my source of strength in going through another heartache caused by their dad.
I went to bed after I had put the twins to bed. I decided to sleep my heartache away and hope that the next day it would disappear.
Then I woke up to a phone call. It was an unknown number. I answered it because it might be from work.
Me: Snider speaking, hello?
Since, I started working at dad's company, I have been used to telling my family name when I answer calls so people would just tell me their concern straightaway and skip the formalities.
The other person did not reply straight away.
Me: hello? This is Macy Snider. What do you want?!
That's when I heard Oliver laugh. Yes, he laughed and I know it's him because I haven't forgotten his voice.
Me: Oliver?
Oliver: Macy Crowne. We haven't divorced yet. Don't get too excited!
Me: you're drunk.
Oliver: I know baby... I know...
He made me really confused and frustrated. He wanted a divorce desperately and now he is back with calling me baby...
Me: we can't honestly keep doing this. It's exhausting. You already made a decision. Don't confuse me!
Oliver: you made the decision. I am only giving you what you have always wanted.
Me: talk to me when you're not drunk. I can't do this!
Oliver: I'm coming back home in 2 days time. Pick me up at the airport.
Me: fine.
Oliver: i love you Macy Izobel Crowne.
Then he ended the call.
What the heck was that?! Is this just a game for him???
