Marina barged into David’s office without knocking.
The assistant, startled, tried to stop her.
“Miss Laurent, Mr. Hardison is....”
“Shut up and move,” Marina snapped, pushing past him.
She stormed into the office where David sat on his table, laptop open.
He looked up, his face cold.
“What are you doing here, Marina?”
Marina walked straight toward him, slamming the divorce papers onto the table.
“You tell me. Why hasn’t she left yet? Why haven’t you signed? Why are you letting her still have a hold on you?”
David frowned, glancing at the papers.
“You went to see Lily?”
“Yes!” Marina shouted, her voice sharp. “And you should have seen her face. So proud, so arrogant, throwing these papers at me like she won some battle! She humiliated me, David!”
David closed his laptop slowly, his expression darkening.
“You shouldn’t have gone to her.”
“Why not?!” Marina’s voice cracked. “I’m your future wife, David. It’s my right to settle things with her.”
David’s jaw tightened.
“You’re not my wife yet. Don’t act like one.”
The words were like knives stabbing straight into her chest.
Her eyes widened in disbelief.
“What… did you just say?”
David sighed, rubbing his temple. “Marina, stop making scenes. I’ll handle it.”
But Marina snapped. Her rage exploded.
“You love her, don’t you?!” she screamed. “That’s why you’re protecting her, hiding her, covering for her! Don’t lie to me, David!”
David’s eyes shot up, cold as ice.
“Enough, Marina.”
