Ex-Husband's Regret

"What are you implying?" my hands are all shaking, as a new kind of pain washes over me.

He uncrosses his legs and leans forward. "Simple, I kept the company and built it back up. Of course, I renamed it and made it under my image. It's one of my many companies now."

Anger and pain washes over me. I should have seen this coming. How the hell did I underestimate his cruelty? He knew what that company meant to me. It was the only thing, the only connection I had to my family, yet he made me believe that it was destroyed.

"Why?" I whisper, as tears fill my eyes. "Why didn't you tell me? Why did you keep it?"

"I kept it as compensation for having to marry you and wasting three years of my life with you"

That did. "You bastard!" I lunge at him.

His words tore me to pieces and his actions all but destroyed me. Did he hate me this much? Keeping something he knew I loved and didn't even belong to him?

"You refused to give me anything in the divorce alimony yet you kept Unity Venture, you arrogant selfish prick!" I shout, blindly hitting him.

I was devastated and running on nothing but pure rage. I never thought I would hate Gabriel more than I hate him right now.

"Will you come down!" he shouts right back at me, trying to control my flying hands.

"Why don't you take your stupid command and shove up your wrinkled balls!"

He manages to cage me and prevent my hands from hitting him. This just pisses me off even more. I want to perform as much damage as I can before I can finally kick him out of my apartment. "Are you calm?" he asks. We are both breathing hard.

"Not even close!"

"Look, I'll give you back your family's company on one condition..."

I pull myself away from him, shoving him in the process. He doesn't budge, but at least it gives me back some kind of control.

"What condition?"

He takes a deep breath, like he's preparing to get the words out. By the look in his eyes, this isn't something he wants to do. That alone makes me happy. Anything that causes him some kind of torture brings me joy, especially after what he took from me.

"Marry me. Again" he finally says, "And the company is yours"

My eyes budge out in what I'm assuming is horror because he winces at the look on my face.

"Hell no! I'd rather wash my vagina in acid than marry you again"

"That's a little extreme" he grumbles, his eyes turning into twin stormy pools.

"Exactly! That says a lot about how I find a marriage to you repulsive"

He sighs, as if he was dealing with a stubborn child, "What about the company?"

"I don't want it. I don't want anything that you've had your greedy paws on. You said it yourself, you turned it to you own image, why would I want it back when I despise you so much?"

He has probably erased everything that made Unity Ventures, the Beckett's family pride and joy. If he came to me with this proposal a year after we divorced then maybe I would have taken him on the offer, bu not now.

"Is that your final, decision?" his eyes and voice are both hard, and that should have been warning enough that he wouldn't stop at my refusal to agree.

"Yes!" I shout, desperate for him to get out of my home.

"Then you leave me no choice"

I was confused with this statement and I was about to ask him when one of the bedroom doors opened.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"Mom, what's with all the screaming? I'm trying to nap"

Shit! Fucking shit!
