Chapter 20 Divorce
"I want a divorce,"Venus mumbled with no emotion visible in her words.
My heart nearly stopped.
Was she serious?
She can't marry Luca. There was no way she was marrying him. Could she? Would she do that to me? No, no she wouldn't.
"We're not getting a divorce. I refuse for my child to be labeled as a bastard."I all but yelled and she flinched.
I knew I screwed up by believing that witch Naomi the minute I saw my daughters ultrasound. How can I allow my daughter to call Luca of all people, Dad but I had to hand it to him that was clever, of course, he was going to accept my daughter if he was ever going to have a chance with Venus.
Aghhh that bastard.
There was no way on earth that I would allow him to take my woman from me. They were my family and I wasn't going to allow him to take them away from me. It certainly wasn't happening this lifetime.
If I convinced Venus to stay married to me until our daughter was born that what would buy me some time so I could find a way for her to forgive me and hopefully she will remain my wife until the day I die.
"I can't stay married to you if you are going to put the blame on me every time things get rough Antonio."Venus cried out in frustration.
She looked so hot when she was mad. Damn do I miss making love to her. Oh, my God, this can't be happening right now. Was I literally getting turned on by her yelling at me?
I mean I haven't been with any women for about three months now but still.
I shifted uncomfortably trying to find the perfect position so I could be comfortable but it seems like my friend is not helping at all.
"At least stay married until our little munchkin is born and then we can head our separate ways if that's what you want,"I said, putting my hands up to signify I was being truthful about my words.
She looked at me with her beautiful blue orbs before nodding,"Ok, but I'm only doing it for her."She replied, rubbing her baby bump which made me smile and the loving gesture towards our baby somehow turned me on even more.
God I need a cold shower when I get home today.
I entered my home after a long day of sorting things out with the family lawyer.
I was ecstatic that I could finally divorce that bitch with no regrets on my shoulders and finally start a relationship with Gina.
I began to look around the house for Annabelle since I saw her car parked in the garage. When I didn't find her I headed upstairs and towards her room but I stopped in my tracks a few feet from her room when I heard her
"Stop putting the blame on me. My plan was effective enough to get Antonio out of your lives for years. Luca this wouldn't be happening if you hadn't allowed Antonio to step in when he wanted to take Venus from you, while you stood there like a wuss watching."Annabelle yelled as I continued to stand there listening intently.
Oh, so this bitch is behind there whole breakup than.
It makes perfect sense now.
"Luca, Naomi did her job well. You know damn well that she did her job great when you had nearly three months to sweep Venus off her feet while Antonio was doing only God knows what." She took a deep breath before continuing." Did you send me the CD that has the hotel camera footage? We can't risk getting caught, it has my whole plan on it."
I had to get my hands on that CD for evidence.
"Ok, I will check the mailbox for that envelope after I call Justin," She claimed and then ended her call with Luca.
I quickly ran down the stairs, out the door, and to the mailbox. I opened the mailboxes lid and began to rummage through our mail until I found the only envelope that was in the mailbox and grabbed it without much thought in the process.
I entered the garage, unlocked my car, placed the envelope in the cars safe and entered the house once again to find Annabelle in the kitchen.
"Annabelle we need to talk," I stated firmly while looking directly into her brown eyes.
"What about?"She asked, ever so innocently.
"I want a divorce."
