Billionaire, Let's Divorce (Mark and Sydney)

I gritted my teeth, my grip on the stoering wheel hard as I drove to the address he sent.

My thoughts were in chaos, even though I knew I had lost Anastasia, she was still on my mind. I still beating myself up for not putting more effort into finding her the first time she left. I blamed myself for not. running after the taxi she boarded that day she ended things between. us until... until what? Perhaps until she asked the driver to stop.

Sharon was also on my mind, or rather, the damn marriage contract I had with her was on my mind and now that her father had called and asked me to meet him at an address he sent I was sure that all hell

was

about to break loose.

If he had asked me to meet him here that means he had flown into the

country.

I could have disregarded his call, especially after I'd just realized that I'd really lost Ana, as all I wanted was to... to do nothing. I just wanted to either sleep for a long while or be back to five years ago when Ana and I were still very much in love.

But all that was not possible anymore. Sharon's father had summoned me and I had to go to him. Sharon's father, an indomitable man that I deeply respected and feared like my own father. He was one of the reasons why I thought my union with Sharon would be a good one but I should have known that marrying the daughter of a man I respected. could never change the fact that the woman I loved left me because she believed a lie and I was still hung up on her, still stuck in the past wishing that thing had spanned out differently.

I sighed. Obviously, he was in town because I had been ignoring his call. After I received the first call from him where he told me to hasten

things up and let the alliance happen, I had stopped picking his call which would be exactly why he called me with an unknown number.

Then, I had ignored his calls because my hope that things would get better between Ana and I was so alive and I had believed that if I talked to Sharon's parents, they'd let me off the hook. Atleast, they wouldn't want a man whose heart belonged to another for thei ophy daughter. But now, all that hope was dead like it was never there and I was driving to him without a valid excuse to break off from the contract.

Since I couldn't get Anastasia anymore, what would be the use if the contract is broken?

I parked outside a coffeehouse, grabbed my phone and checked the address again to be sure.

I stepped into the coffee house and was about to dial the number he had called me with when I spotted him in the far end of the

coffeehouse. By his side, his wife sat, back straight. Beeside her, Sharon perched on the seat, a carbon copy of mother, her eyes angry as she looked at me. And right by Sharon's side, her hand on her shoulder is my mother, her eyes shooting daggers at me.

I exhaled heavily as I made my way to their table. When I reached there, with a small nod, I greeted everyone.

"Aiden," Sharon's father started, "I will not drag this. What is your stance on the alliance?"

My lips quivered with a small smile. Of course, always straight to the point. A no-nonsense man.

When I said nothing, he continued, "I want the both of you to bare your minds here and now about the alliance." He paused, looking between his daughter and I. Then he shocked all of us when he added, "If one of you doesn't want to get married to the other, make it known and the

alliance will be called off."

Sharon turned sharply to her father with a glare, her lips twit ng but she said nothing.

I looked from Sharon to her father and made my decision. It wouldn't be worth it.

"I want the alliance to happen," I told everyone.
