One More Chance
Chapter 102: I didn't file the divorce paper

~~~Lost and all alone. I always thought that I could make it on my own, but since you left I hardly make through the day. My tears get in the way and I need you back to stay. I wonder through the night and search the world for the words to make it right. All I want is just the

way it used to be with you here close to me. And I've got to make you see that I'm lost without your love~~~

-Bread-

My head snapped where the voice was coming from and there I saw the bitch herself, Cherry Petterson, wearing a tight red dress with a plunging neckline showing her flat chest.

"So, is this your new place to hang out, babe?" She intentionally mentioned the last word in an extra sweet yet sarcastic manner.

I formed my fists but still waited for her next offensive words.

"I didn't know you were going to this kind of place! It's so cheap. The people, the food and everything are cheap!"

"Wow!" I heard Jack mutter behind me. I didn't know when was she came out behind me and she has the expression of a tiger when I glanced at her.

Well, same as mine, rage instantly filled me. How dare this man asked me to give him a fucking chance earlier when he's still with her?

"What are you doing here?" Luke immediately stepped forward and stood between us.

"Oh, I just wanted to check out my boyfriend's new place to hang out, what's the matter with that?" The bitch replied then shrugged her shoulders.

"What the hell are you talking about? We're over and you know that!" He said gritting his teeth.

"Huh! Since when did we break up, babe? I couldn't remember exactly the date that I agreed with you to quit this relationship!"

I raised an eyebrow with what I heard. I couldn't believe these two were fighting over their fucking breakup in front of me.

"I've already made it clear to you over than a month ago!"

"And I didn't agree, did I?"

"I don't fucking care---"

"Excuse me!" I decided to interrupt their lover's conversation as I couldn't stand to hear what they were talking about. "I don't care what the matter is between you two, but can you please get out of the coffee shop because in case you haven't noticed, you're disturbing our customers!"

And I was about to take a step away from them when Cherry the bitch, called my attention.

"Don't you dare tell me or rather dictate me what to do or not because just like your little cheap business, you're also a cheap, second-rate, rubbishy woman who always tries to get my boyfriend from me!"

"What did you say?" My head automatically snapped towards her as well as my body and I was just an inch before I could slap her filthy mouth and take her soul out of her body, but Jack stopped me by tugging my arm.

At that moment, I don't care whether we already caught the attention of the customers as long as I put the bitch into her place.

"Why? Isn't it true?" She raised an eyebrow. "He was my boyfriend when you spiked his drinks and fucking seduced him and then what? You got pregnant---"

"Cherry, stop it!" Luke also grabbed her hand but she swatted it away.

"Now that I finally got him back after you left him, you're here again flaunting your body in front him and seducing him again!"

"I did not seduce him and I'm not seducing him either---"

"Liar!"

"Cherry shut the fuck up and get out!" Luke suddenly screamed that made me shock for a few seconds. The veins in his neck are now showing due to anger. "We're over and whether you like it or not ---"

"No! We're not over yet and I will be the one to decide if we're already over or not!" She also screamed, pointing Luke in his face.

"Ohh... feisty!" Jack snorted.

"Shut up, you third-rate bitch!"

"What the hell---do you want me to cut your tongue and make you swallow it?" Jack was about to start the fight but I stopped her.

"Jack, we're not going to use our hands on someone as low-minded and bitch like her!"

"Really?" She turned to me, forming her fists. "Well, listen here everyone!" She said calling the attention of all the people gathered inside the shop.

"What are you doing?" Luke tried to ask her but she ignored him.

"Do you see this woman here, guys? Her name is Samantha is she's no different from a criminal because almost five years ago, she fucking seduced my boyfriend! And now that they were already divorced, she's trying again to seduce him!" While she was talking, I took a deep breath and thought of the best way to annoy her without screaming and exerting much efforts like what she's doing.

"Ohh, do you have any evidence that says I'm seducing him?" I asked her with a chuckle that made her nose flare-up. "Because you if don't have any proof and you're just blabbering those words, well, we will see each other in court because I will probably sue you for this." "How dare you---"

"I said stop it!" Luke held her wrist before her palm could land on my face. "I've had enough of you and this should stop now!"

"Yes, you should stop your girlfriend for making a commotion and spreading some fake news before you see her touching the cold bars."

"Argh! Let me go!" She tried to break free from Luke's grip.

"No! You should stop now!"

"Ahh... so you're choosing her now instead of me? Are you now choosing your ex-wife over me?"

Jack and I shared glances with what she said.

"Huh! You're such a crazy bastard! Are you choosing her? The cheap kind of woman who once destroyed our relationship?"

But we didn't hear anything from Luke.

"Come on, Luke, tell me! What is it with your ex-wife that you suddenly became like this? You love me, don't you?"

But Luke seemed to cut his tongue.

"Huh! I won't let this pass easily! I am now your present, I've stayed by your side, I've done everything to make you happy and then now that your ex-wife---" "She's not my ex-wife," Luke said that stopped Cherry from speaking.

I frowned, confusion can be seen on my face as I glanced at Jack and I found her having the same expression as mine.

Cherry giggled after a few seconds.

"Then what do you call her? What is she to you---your ex-lover?" She asked him, laughing.

"No, I can't call her my ex-wife nor an ex-lover."

"Then who she is to you?"

I felt my heart stopped beating when Luke slowly turned to me. I don't know, but the look in his eyes already answered the silent question that has formed in my head. "She's my wife." He said looking directly into my eye.

-'What?'- I thought I asked it out loud, but I didn't notice that there was no voice coming out of my throat when I opened my mouth.

"She's still my wife."

-'huh!'- I gasped in shock as well as the people who heard what he said.

"W-What did you s-say?" I asked, stuttering as I couldn't believe what I had just heard. Suddenly my legs wobbled like a jelly and it was then I felt Jack's hand on my arm. "What the hell are you talking about? You got divorced four years ago!" Cherry talked to him, clenching her jaws.

But he still didn't look at her. His eyes were on me, so I didn't miss every single expression that simultaneously showed on them.

"I didn't sign the divorce papers you left on my study table. I just threw them away."

And he then turned to his girlfriend or if what he said was real, she still his mistress and nothing's changed. It's his expression that suddenly changed when he looked at her.

"So stop calling her my ex-wife or

.n

ex-lover because since I didn't file the divorce papers, that means she still my wife---" he didn't get the chance to continue what he was saying as Cherry's palm already landed on his face.

"How dare you? How dare you lie to my face? All these years, I've tried my best to make you happy, to satisfy your needs and then now you're suddenly telling me she's still your wife?"

"Cherry---"

"Why didn't you file the divorce papers?"

She asked the question that should be mine, but I couldn't interrupt them as I suddenly lost all words because of the shocking information. "Why did you lie to me?"

Cherry kept asking him questions

but since my mind was already left

on what Luke had said about our marriage, it seemed like I was just watching a silent TV. They were talking in front of me but they have no

sounds.

I started walking back to the counter when I felt a hand grab my elbow followed by Luke's voice.

"Sam---"

But I immediately swatted his hand and my palm quickly reached his face and he got the second slap of the day.

"Don't touch me! Don' fucking touch me!" I whispered-yelled. I tried as much as I can to prevent the tears from falling and I thank God for not letting those tears flow.
