This was the last written chapter...
Harvey
I can't believe I did that! I wish I didn't have to. I wish I had a choice, but I didn't. I just have to face all the consequences of my actions.
After the media storm was over. I got served with court letters. One for the custody hearing and the other for my divorce and I was being sued by Damien.
The stress was getting to me.
So I got dressed and went to court for the divorce hearing today, escorted by Jake, Bella was taking care of Ashton for me.
At the entrance to the court, reporters were everywhere and we had to fight our way through.
Suddenly there is a commotion, and I know Damien has arrived with his entourage. He walks straight into the court room and doesn't even look at me.
I turn and enter into the court room.
We are questioned by the judge,
"So Damien and Harvey Andrate, it says here you have been married for a year and have been staying apart, now you are asking for a divorce. Is that right?" The judge asks
"Yes" we both reply
"Damien Andrate, why are you filing for a divorce, you cited irreconcilable differences, elaborate on that" the judge orders
"Harvey and I are practically strangers to each other, we met in Vegas a year ago and drunkenly got married to each other. After that we never spoke again till a few days ago. I don't trust him and his motives towards me" Damien says
"Basically you had a one night stand and got married somewhere there, can I see a copy of your marriage certificate?" The judge asks
After looking at it, he hands it back to the court clerk and looks back at us
"It says you got married at 1;30am. Interesting. Harvey Andrate, what are your reasons?" The judge asks me
Now what do I say!
"I guess we are strangers like he said and there is no trust between us, besides, I have a young nephew to take care of" I say
"So, this marriage consumated, am I right?" The judge asks
We look at each other and say yes.
"On my desk are photos from a photoshoot you both took part in, what was the atmosphere like?" The judge asks me
"We were abit awkward but generally fine and it was pleasant " I reply
"Damien, why didn't you try to get a divorce immediately after you realised you got drunkenly married?" The judge asks
"We never saw each other again and I guess I didn't think of it after that" he replies
"But at the back of your mind, you knew you were married? The judge asks me
"Yes, it was an unconscious thought" I reply
"Alright, taking into consideration the circumstances of your marriage and situation, I don't find cause to grant a divorce without prior experience of marriage to each other. I hereby order the both of you to live together for six months and then after that, we can review the case" The judge says
We look on shocked at her decision. Live together for six months! With the kind of tension between us right now, I don't know how if it would work! And Ashton?
"Your honor, I have a nephew to take care of !" I protest
"Court grants you a temporary six month custody of the minor Ashton till re evaluation of your case" the judge rules
At least I was happy I wouldn't have to worry about Ashton for a while.
"Decide where the both of you will be staying and start immediately on this trial marriage, time to time, you will be checked on" the judge says
"I am not leaving my mansion to live in a tiny apartment in a ghetto neighborhood!" Damien throws out
"That is uncalled for! I live in a perfectly average house, not all of us are stinking rich Hollywood actors!" I retort
"Like you would ever be one!" He says
"Andrates! Order in this court before I fine you!"the judge shuts us up
"Now, your court date is six months from now, court adjourned" the judge says and leaves
After she has left. We glare at each other because there is nothing we can do.
"Come to my place if you want to!" He says
"Where do you stay" I ask
"Google me, am famous like that" the says walking out
I walk out and go home too confused to even do anything. Now what am I supposed do? Just pack and show up at his door? This is going to be the worst six months of my life. What about work? My business was really kicking off, I was also working on a new project!
I find Bella with Ashton whom I carry and put on my laps as I feed him his food.
"What! Live with Damien? What about his mother?She has a personal vendetta against you" Bella says
"I tried to apologise for insulting her but she is having none of it, and i am sure by now she knows our situation " I say
"She is going to make your life a living hell!" Bella says
"I know !" I groan.
"Call me when you need help packing" Bella calls me and leaves.
My phone then rings and I pick up noticing the call from a private number.
"Hello?" I say
"So you did what I ordered you to,good boy!" The person says
"Did I have a choice?" I retort back
"Don't even try telling your husband, I mean soon to be ex husband anything!" The persons warns me and the line goes off dead!
Whew! That was nerve wracking .........
