He Only Married Me For Revenge

Chapter 87: Realization

"It's your sixth times looking on your phone!"

I glanced up at Noelle who put a cup of coffee on my desk.

"Why don't you call him and stop wasting your time by glancing and checking your phone, every goddamned minute?"

I sighed for I don't know how many times. It's been four days since I called Sandy and she told me that Gabriel has a business meeting in Australia. And until now, I'm still waiting for his call and text message.

"Hmm.. maybe he's busy. He's now busy with someone else."

My head instantly snapped at Noelle's face. I narrowed my eyes on her.

"Why? You're pushing him away, right? So, maybe he now found someone 'else'."

"I'm not pushing him away! And can you please stop mentioning that?"

"Mentioning what, that he found someone else? Or someone new?"

"Noelle please?" I pleaded but she just laughed at me.

"Tsk.tsk.tsk. Before, he had you but he let you go. He learned his lesson and searched for you. And then now that you already have each other, you're now the one who pushed him away. I don't understand your heart, Madi."

"I didn't push him!"

We heard a knock from the door.

"Ms. Madi, Ms. Noelle." Tony came to our view.

"Yes, Tony?" Noelle asked him.

"There's a letter for Ms. Madi." he answered with a smile. Noelle and I shared a confused look.

"A letter from who?" we both asked in unison.

"Ahm.. Atty. Robert Dioson?"

My eyes widened as my heart started to pound inside. I don't know why I suddenly felt nervous by hearing the name of Gabriel's lawyer.

"Thank you, Tony." she get the letter from him and put it on my desk.

"You're welcome, Ma'am." he said and returned again to work.

"Who's that Atty. Dioson? And what's that for, subpoena?"

I glared at her. "Subpoena? What are you talking about? I didn't commit a crime!"

"Oh, yes you do, dear. Isn't it a crime, that you're pushing away your own husband?"

My mouth fell with her words. "Haha, funny." but she just laughed at my reaction.

I opened the sealed envelope and when I saw the letter inside. My hands trembled as my world started to spin around me.

"Ohh..." that's only word I formed after reading the letter.

"Why? What's that?" she takes the paper from my hand and her eyes widened. "Oh my God! Divorce papers?" she looked at me with shock written in her both eyes.

Streams of tears started to flow on my cheeks. I buried my face in my hands as the convulsive sobs escaped from my throat that almost choke me. I felt her arms wrapped around me as she also rubbed my back while I'm crying.

"He gave you what you wished, Madi. This is what you want right, a divorce paper to start anew? Then why are you crying right now? Does it hurt?"

I shut my eyes in anguish when I heard her words. I don't know what she stands in my life right now.. my bestfriend or my conscience? Is she seriously asking me if it's hurt?

"H-He said he doesn't want us to file a divorce? But what is this? He didn't talk to me for days, almost a week, and then he suddenly disappeared and flew to Australia without even informing me?"
