“According to Rome Sherman, a reliable freelance writer, Mr. Davis, and Mrs. Smith are no longer husband and wife. In the article he released a few seconds ago, he stated that the two willingly decided to end their marriage and the papers were finalized earlier this morning.” A news lady announced on the television.
“Mr. Sherman didn't state the reason why Mr. Davis and Mrs. Smith decided to untie the knob, and now it's the question that everyone is asking at this moment. Why did Liam Davis and Carmen Smith decide to call it quits?” A newsman continued.
Carmen stared at her watch before her cold gaze fixed on the TV. She listened to the reporter for a moment, then her sight shifted away from the television and focused on her desk.
“He must be devastated right now,” Carmen mumbled with a bit of pity in her tone as she stared at Liam's name flashing on her phone screen.
She then ignored the call and placed her attention back on the work she was doing on h
As the moon overshadowed the darkness of the night, and the gentle air blew against Liam's hair causing it to dance with the wind, he softly licked his bottom lip because of the nervousness he felt as his eyes centered on Carmen's doubtful gaze.She had waited for almost three minutes to get a response from Liam, but when she didn't get one, she felt numb.“It's not important,” Liam mumbled as he broke eye contact with her.“Fine! You don't have to answer. You and I are divorced now, and what happens to you doesn't concern me.” Carmen harshly stated.When Liam said no word, she gazed away from him and turned towards her car.‘It shouldn't hurt this much.’ Carmen thought as she got into the vehicle before slamming the door shut.For a second Carmen eyed Liam, and even though he didn't look her way, the tension from her stare weighed on his heart.“Drive,” Carmen mumbled.The night felt cold and lonesome when the vehicle drove past
The next morning the dinner table was quite peaceful as everyone focused on their breakfast.Carmen took a bite into her beacon before dropping the rest on the plate. Then she gazed up at her parents' faces.“What is it?” Mr. Smith asked when he noticed his daughter staring at him.“I am moving out,” Carmen mumbled.Mrs. Smith immediately started aggressively coughing after choking on the water that she was drinking.“Mother!” Carmen cried.“I am fine.” Mrs. Smith mumbled while gently patting her chest.Mr. Wilson's eyes appeared sad when he looked at his granddaughter, but she already had her mind made up. And even though she felt some pity towards her grandfather, she wasn't planning on changing her plans.“Why, kiddo? This house is yours as much as it's ours.” Mr. Wilson pitifully said.“I know, grandi. But I want to start fresh and feel a bit of independence while doing so.” Carmen softly said.Mr. Wilson gazed at
The moment the first light of dawn colored the sky with a bleak golden glow, Terry was driving Carmen to work.He had the car at full speed because there weren't many vehicles on the road at such an early hour, where the darkness was just giving chance to the light.Subconsciously, he kept eyeing Carmen through the V-mirror while wondering why she had him driving her to the office this early. But he couldn't come up with a reason, so he let go of his thoughts and concentrated on the road.Carmen had noticed his stares, but she didn't pay it no mind. Instead, she laid her head against the window glass as she appreciated the breathtaking beauty of the sky.However, she found it hard to do because sleep kept bugging her, and she could barely keep her eyes open. At that moment, Carmen regretted staying up late, thinking about whether she should move to another house and getting up early to avoid seeing Dax.After a sixteen minutes drive, they finally
Carmen lost focus when she heard her office door opened, so she gazed away from the documents on her desk and stared at her secretary.“What's the update?” Carmen mumbled.Chester hesitated for some time because he didn't know if Carmen wanted to hear the report he got and he also didn't want to upset her since he was a bit afraid of her temper.Carmen impatiently stared at him, and when Chester noticed the frustration in her gaze, he realized that he had to say something.“Miss Robert passed the interview.” Chester hastily replied with a bit of sympathy in his voice.“Well, good for her,” Carmen mumbled.Chester abruptly giggling as he stared at his boss in shock. But when he saw that her remark was not a joke, his smile became awkward.“What? But she… I mean you and her… Are you okay with her being here?” Chester mumbled.“Why not? She has a great educa
Time flew by quicker than Chester expected. However, when Friday morning arrived, he had a bright smile on his face the moment he saw Carmen approaching his desk.“Good morning, boss.” Chester brightly said.“You looked bubbly this morning,” Carmen replied as she walked past him.Chester’s eyes then lit up when he noticed that his boss slightly smiled at him before walking away, and that had his heart racing.He then jumped up to his feet and followed Carmen into her office.‘She finally warmed up to me. Yes! Yes!’ Chester excitedly thought as he waited for his boss to acknowledge his presence.Carmen then looked away from her phone and stared at Chester, and in that instant, she immediately felt lost of words when she noticed him giggling to himself.“What are you happily smiling about?” Carmen asked.“Uh?” Chester absentmindedly mumbled.“Is
Carmen was laying in bed awake when the first light of day peep through her room window. She then rolled over to the left to avoid the sunlight.“It's finally here,” Carmen mumbled.After waiting and preparing for two days, she finally felt confident to snatch the Davis company out of their hands.The moment the clock hit six-thirty, Carmen was already out of bed and heading to the bathroom. Then by six-fifty, she came out with a bath towel wrapped around her body.Before seven-fifteen, Carmen was already dressed in a white luxury suit with black heels.She then painted her lips with red lipstick, designed her eyelids with smokey makeup, wore diamond jewelers, and styled her hair in a classic updo.“Perfect,” Carmen mumbled with a smile as she gazed at herself in the dresser mirror before grabbing her purse and leaving her room.It was exactly seven-thirty when Carmen walked out of her house.&ldqu
Liam could see hate in Carmen's eyes as she stared at him, and yet he could also see the deep pain she tried to hide behind her cold expression.“Mrs. Smith, I don't understand your statement,” Levi said with a stiff smile on his face.“What part of ‘you are fire’ don't you understand?” Carmen hastily asked.“But… But this is my company.”“The last time I check, I hold the majority shares in this company, and I find you incompetent for the position that you hold, so you have to leave.”Levi gazed at the others. However, no one spoke on his behalf, and for a while, the conference room was silent. Then he intensely gazed at Scott Johnson.“Even though you hold a majority of the shares in the company, don't you think it is disrespectful to fire the chairman of the company without the other board members' involvement.” Scott abruptly and aggressively intoned with a bit of fear in his eyes.“Mr. Johnson, that's some bold attitude you have t
Liam had just taken a sip of his morning coffee as he sat in the dining room staring blankly at the window with his sight focused on the morning light slowly creeping into the room when he overheard a loud bang on his front door.He hesitated for a second with pure anger in his eyes before gently placing his mug on the table. Then he stood up and headed to answer the door.When Liam did, his eyes widened in shock as his mother pushed him aside and walked straight past him, causing Liam to lose his balance for a second.“Get dressed now!” Lina said as she marched further into the hallway.“Mom!” Liam called out while following after Lina with shock on his face.“We have to plead for Carmen's forgiveness!”“Mom!”“She will take you back! I know it! That girl loves you! We just have to pursued her a bit!”“Woman!”Liam's voice was so loud, so thunderous, that his mother stopped dead in her tracks. Liam then gently
