Divorcing Mr. A

Chapter 3

Mia opened the door wider and looked at Adonis focus on setting up. Just when he turn his head to her direction his face changed emotion as if it became more irritated.

"Oh babe! This is so romantic!" She ran to him and gave Adonis a hug, "you have a lovely maid in here.. Is this for us?!"

"Wh-"

"Yeah.. He prepared that for you.." Mia played with her fingers and looked at Adonis giving her a look. She looked away and went back to the kitchen to continue cooking.

Claire followed Mia with her eyes and smile to Adonis. She put her bag to the side and sat on the chair as Adonis was dumbfounded, "How did you even know I was here?"

"She's the one who you need to divorce?" Claire raised her eyebrow to him, "You need to hurry and get her the paper sign already because I'm not allowing you to stay up for more than a week with her.." She whispered, "And what the hell is this table? You're trying to be romantic with her? She looks cheap!"

Mia steal a glance at them sitting on the table as Adonis was just looking at claire. She let out a sigh again and felt her heart suddenly made sharp pain. It was so painful she has to stop the cooking and walk upstairs to drink her medicine.

Adonis followed her with his eyes and creased his forehead as she was coming down again rubbing her heart. Mia went back to the stove and start cooking again.

Claire notice the TV was playing and how everything was so romantic. She creased her forehead and drinks the glass wine, "I can't believe you are actually being so romantic.." she gave him a disgusting look, "What are you trying to reward her a fantasy married life?"

He took a deep breath and glanced at Mia preparing the food on the bowl while it was smoking. He could see her sadness in her eyes and it was full of disappointment. It was supposed to be her night in the house with him.

Mia put a smile on her face as she walks to the table holding the bowl, "Enjoy the food.." She looked at claire smelling the smoke from the bowl.

"Hmm! Delicious! Thank you, uhm what's your name?"

"Amiarie.."

"Oh okay! Pretty name, Thank you Amiarie.."

Adonis stayed quiet with coldness on his face. He looked at Mia leaving the room and walked back upstairs. She closed her door and locked herself in while stand against it. Mia rubbed her heart and looked at the window trying to keep herself stronger, 'The more I let myself weak the more it'll fail..'

She stayed in her room for few quiet of time. There were times she would hear Claire laugh. She grabbed her diary inside the drawer and write again. Until it became dark outside, Mia opened her door and walked downstairs.

Adonis already cleaned everything and her eyes went wide open from being surprised. She rubbed her eyes and looked at him, "You didn't have to clean it all, you should've called me.."

He looked at her and his hair was already a mess, and there was a lipstick on his shirt. "Its okay.. Sorry I didn't know she would come.."

Mia smiled and put her hands behind her, "She's pretty.. I think you guys will be a great couple.." slowly walking towards him, "She's the one I saw last time here?"

"No.."

Mia nod her head, "Uhm.. Adonis? Can I give you a piece of advice?"

He put the towel down and looked annoyed turning his face to her. She gulped and grabbed the towel from him, "Uhm.. When we divorce, I hope you marry someone who you will actually endearly love and treat like she is a queen.. I think that type of life suites you.."

She heard him smirked and taking her advice as a joke, "You're funny.."

The eye contact made him quiet. Mia gave a bitter smile, "I'm serious Adonis, having different woman does not make you look attractive.."

"Then why are you greedy of me then?" He walked closer to her and Mia looked at him in the eyes.

"Because you gave me a chance to live a better life.. You took me from the bar and gave me a chance to live in a luxurious house likes this and also giving me a last name.." she smiled, "I'm very thankful for it and I think someday you'll met someone who is kind as you.. Claire fits on that role.."

Adonis couldn't bare to listent to what she was saying. It was making him uncomfortable and confuse. Mia sighed, "Anyways, how was the date?"

He didn't responded. His eyes was stuck on her movement. Mia put the towel on the basket after wiping the table, she grabbed another plate to eat by herself.

Adonis couldn't understand why is her words suddenly making him so soft. He never heard her talk so much before.

When he found Mia at the bar, she was just a bartender working 24/7 because she has no place to live in. Her body was living through alcohol and that time he was being forced marriage to someone he doesn't know. He gave her a contract and for a year it was a successful plan.

She looked at Adonis standing by the table spacing out. Before she even walk towards him her woke up from reality and walked away. Mia creased her forehead and gulped as she follow him with her eyes. He walked back to the kitchen and looked at the calendar.

Mia looked so confused of what he was doing, "Are you okay?" She asked.

"Yeah." He walked back to the living room again and sat on the couch. After eating she cleaned her plate and walked towards Adonis. She put a lot of courage to sit down next to him and smile, "What are you watching?"

He switched a channel. Mia looked at him and he looks so serious switching the channel. She saw him smirked and her face lighted up, "Why are you smirking?"

"Why are you staring?"

"Is it bad to stare?"

"Well is it bad to smirk?" He respond.

She gave him a look and turn her eyes on the TV but couldn't help herself to steal a glance at him every minute. His arms were resting on the top of the couch and his other hand were holding a remote.

Adonis keep switching the channels for few minutes and he suddenly felt a head dropped on top of his shoulder. Mia was breathing heavily as if she was having hard time breathing. He creased his forehead and shaked her shoulder. She immediately sat up and looked at him, "Did I fall asleep?"

He nod his head, "You were having hard time breathing.."

Mia chuckled, "I must be very tired.. I'm going upstairs.. Goodnight.." she stood up and walked up to her room.

She sat down on the bed and took a deep breath before taking another medication. Mia lie down on bed and stare at the ceiling. Just a little conversation with Adonis makes her blush. ' Damn three more weeks..' she sighed.
