He was pulling a long face and tidying up his suit. If I hadn’t known, I would have thought he was impatient.
But after hearing his thoughts, coupled with this gesture, I assumed that he was feeling proud of himself.
I balled up my fists, suppress the tears in my eyes and whispered, “Victor, I...”
Victor walked to me fast-paced, a nervous look clear on his face. It last for a second before he spoke with the same cold look he used to give me.
“Anne Haley, don't tell me you don't want a divorce?”
The voice in his mind resume. "Tell me you don't want a divorce. One word from you and I’ll call all of this off. I just need you to say it. Say it!”
He sounded like a demanding angry cat in the last two words and I almost burst out laughing.
Victor always had a serious face and always spoke in a cold tone. Who would have thought that he was so lively inside? But I wasn't entirely sure of my guess so I pull out a test.
"What about the property share? Don't you think we have to..."
Before I could finish my sentence, the divorce papers in my hand disappeared. When I looked up, I saw Victor holding it.
Victor gave me a disgusted look and snorted, "Don't even think about it! You won't get a penny."
“Come on, Anne, I mean you could be a little more greedy. Tell me that you not only want all that money but also me, this handsome man. Come on, say it.”
I couldn't help but smile when I heard the nagging again.
Victor's face darkened when he saw me smiling.
"Do you think you can get on my good side, just by smiling?"
I gazed at him intently, ready to hear what he was going to think.
“Oh God, look at that smile. I swear that smile is gonna be the death of me. I would give my life to that smile forever. What if I try to smile at her? Will she be as mesmerized as I am? She probably wouldn't go through this divorce if she is.”
I looked at him expectantly. I saw him slightly raise the corners of his beautiful mouth, but he fainted the next second.
I panicked, carrying him to the outside of the City Hall. In just a minute, I finished carrying him into the car and drove to the nearest hospital. On arrival, after a series of tests, the doctor told me Victor's nerve fibers had been severed.
It brought question mark in my head and the Doctor's next sentence was even more confusing.
"Did he got tased, or was he working on electrical devices? Because he seems to be having an electric shock.”
