Anger and humiliation were what I felt at that moment. What did the man take me for? A gold digger? If that were the case, then I would have taken half of everything Nick owned because we didn’t sign anything and he of all people owed me that and more after what he did to me. yet didn’t take anything.
“if I was after Marcus’s money then I would have started with my ex–husband’s. I will have you know that I work hard for everything I own, I never asked Marcus for anything and never will. I have my own things and money. It might not be as much as he has but it is mine and I worked for it. I didn’t get it from anyone, it was not handed to me.”
He laughed. “I didn’t come here for a speech Olivia and if that is how you feel. Then you will have no problem signing that document.” I was angry, very angry. I thought of just standing up and leaving him there but then I thought of that would just prove his point if I didn’t sign.
“Give me a pen.”
“Olivia, don’t you want to talk to Marcus first before you sign that?” grandma asked, and I gave her a smile. ” Marcus is the one you are marrying and if he wanted you to sign that then he would have given it to you himself. Why don’t you talk to him first before signing that.”
The man glanced at grandma looking at her like she was something dirty stuck from under his shoe. I hated that the most. “Who are you to talk here? I thought you were just a bystander, someone brought into the family by the nanny. You have no say here or you are hoping to benefit from my nephew as well.”
That did it. I grabbed the pen from the guard signed the paper then threw it at him. “There, I don’t need your nephew’s money, and you have no right to speak to my family like that it doesn’t matter if you see them as beneath you. also, after the wedding, I don’t ever want to see you anywhere near me ever again.”
He laughed as I stood, and we left. I was fuming in anger the whole drive home. Grandma and Lupita didn’t say anything either. It hurt that they were disrespected like that. “I am sorry grandma.” She shook her head. “Don’t worry child, it is not your fault and it’s not the first time a rich person treated me that way. It doesn’t bother me.”
That got my heart sinking to the bottom of my stomach. “You are my family grandma, don’t mind what that man said. Marcus and I respect you and I didn’t choose you as my family because I felt pity on you but because of the love and support you have given me.” she offered me a small smile.
“Olivia, you can’t control how other people behave and they are not a reflection of you or anything you have done. That is just who that man is and there is nothing we can do to change that. but we can decide how we react to what he said, and I have decided not to let it bother me. but let me give some advice. Don’t ever do anything without talking to your husband, especially something as important as what you have done.”
I sighed, I knew that, but I didn’t want that man to think that I didn’t want to sign because I wanted to convince Marcus to not let me sign it. I wanted him to see that I was not after anything. “You have to tell Marcus what happened.” Lupita said.
“No, I will only tell him after the wedding. I don’t want it to seem like I want him to change the decision his uncle made. He is his family and is trying to protect him. even though he went about it in the rudest way possible.”
They didn’t say anything. When we got home Marcus was there, he smiled at me, but I didn’t smile back. He talks to his uncle about me and now he thought I was a gold–digging criminal after his nephew’s money.
He looked confused when I didn’t acknowledge him and just went to my room. I didn’t want to explode and tell him off. I needed to calm down first before I would talk to the man. It’s fine talking to him about me, he was going to find out anyway and my past was not a secret. Many people knew about it.
