Chapter 250: FAVOR
In Felicia’s room, the latter packed her bags as she hummed a song to fill to air with her happiness.
"Ethan Anderson, I will make you forget who Erika is once we see each other. You are mine now," she said to herself. Amid her humming, she heard a knock on the door. She dropped her clothes on the bed and questioned, "Who is it?"
The person opened the door and Felicia saw one of Adrian’s men who held a gun by his side while he stood like a statue. "The lawyer is here and the boss wants you to come and sign the divorce papers mam," he announced.
In a flash, Felicia bolted out from there and ran outside, heading towards the living room. She made sure to dodge anyone who got in her way until she reached her destination.
Getting to the living room, Felicia saw the lawyer who wore a tailored black suit, a spectacle on his nose bridge, and perfectly styled hair that didn’t leave a single lock out of place.
"Felicia, come and sign the divorce papers," Adrian ordered when he saw her standing like a statue.
Without the need to be told twice, Felicia quickly took a seat and said, "The lawyer arrived quite sooner than we’d expected."
"Sign the papers," Adrian ordered, not wanting to hear more of her talks.
Felicia clammed her mouth shut, snatched the pen that lay on the papers and signed it. Seeing her name on the divorce papers only made her smile from ear to ear.
The lawyer took the papers and set them properly inside his suitcase. Not being able to sit still and not talk, Felicia asked the attorney,
"When can the divorce papers be finalized?"
As soon as she released that question, she felt a hot blazing gaze directed toward her and she didn’t need to know who it was coming from. Ignoring Adrian, she added, "You see, there’s something that we have to do and we can’t do it if the court is going to take time before the divorce is finalized."
The attorney cleared his throat before he answered her question, "Normally, since you are a runaway, the court is going to take time before the divorce is finalized but I know someone who is going to speed up the process." Without waiting for her to ask him any more questions, the attorney stood up from his seat and intended to leave but Adrain stopped him.
"Remember, you are not to tell anyone about this else I will burn your children alive," he threatened while the attorney forced down his saliva due to the threat he’d just received.
"Of course, Mr Hart," The attorney nodded and left the living room while the bodyguards escorted him outside.
Once the attorney was no longer in sight, Felicia scooted to Adrian’s side and asked,
"So when am I going to get the plastic surgery done?" Her voice held no ounce of regret for her severed marriage and the only thing in her head was when she was going to have another woman’s lover.
Turning to look at her with a scrutinizing gaze, Adrain questioned her back, "We just ended our marriage and the only thing in your mind is when are you going to get your plastic surgery?"
Shrugging her shoulders nonchalantly, she asked, "Was I supposed to mourn? This was a loveless marriage anyway and it benefited the both of us. That way, you will get rid of me and get married to Erika as you’ve already planned and then I will go and be with Ethan Anderson, the man of my dreams."
Adrian stared at her disgustingly and could only wonder if she would neglect their son, Jake once she got there.
"Remember that you have to come here every weekend and spend some time with Jake and if you miss a single weekend, you can wave that expensive lifestyle you want to live with Ethan Anderson goodbye," he threatened her and from the tone of his voice, she could read that he wasn’t joking one bit.
"Whatever! So when are we going to the plastic surgeon?" She repeated.
Adrian sighed before he replied. "You will be going there later today and you will be going there with Erika so you’d better behave and don’t dare harm my woman."
"Will you relax, I have nothing against Erika anymore," she revealed. Out of confusion, Adrian questioned her with a raised eyebrow,
"Why?"
Shrugging again, she said, "She came to me willingly and surrendered. She has nothing against me now." Noticing that her unclear words only made Adrain frown deeper, she decided to explain more clearly. "Erika came to me one day....." she continued until she was done narrating Erika’s sympathetic pleading towards her. "And that was what happened, surprising right?"
Adrian only replied after he’d finished analyzing everything Felicia had just narrated to him.
"You mean to tell me that Erika apologized to you and even begged you to not hurt Ethan’s feelings after you’ve already succeeded in fooling him?" He asked her again to be sure he wasn’t hearing things while Felicia nodded in response.
"I was also shocked myself but what shocked me even more was when she told me everything that Mary and Juliet were planning against me," she gasped with her hands covering her mouth. "She told me that those two were planning to take me to jail," she added.
Never in his wildest dream did he think that Erika would plead with Felicia to not hurt Ethan’s feelings and also support their plans. That was just too unbelievable. ’Does that mean she has no problem with getting married to me then?’ He wondered. But upon remembering her scary face from earlier, he doubted it.
"Oops, I also forgot one more thing," Felicia drove him out of his thoughts.
"What’s that?"
"Erika cried as she pleaded. She looked so pitiful that I wanted to stop her from crying but of course, I shouldn’t interrupt someone when they are begging for a favor from me," she mocked.
