Renee directed a reassuring smile at the secretary.
“Don’t worry I’ll be able to handle it”
After that she lifted her chin and strode confidently into Stefan’s office. Just as she expected she found the little mistress Briar Desrosiers in there.
The woman was sobbing in Stefan’s arms but quickly moved away as soon as she saw Renee enter the office as if she had been caught red-handed doing something bad. i
“Miss Everheart please don’t misunderstand we were just…”
“Save it.” Renee put up her hand. Turning to Stefan she said “Sorry for interrupting your date Mr. Hunt but I’m here for the divorce settlement. I’ll leave once I’ve obtained your signature.”
Stefan rested his arms on his desk and without a hint of emotion on his face he responded “Oh that… do you really need it in such a hurry?”
‘What the hell is he saying?’ Renee thought as she suppressed the urge to beat him up. Through gritted teeth she growled “What do you think?!”
‘There’s still twenty days till we are legally divorced. I think it’s fine to wait it out.” Stefan said with a deadpan expression.
Renee clenched her fists tightly. Never in her life has she felt the urge to punch him more.
‘Did that thug really hit him that hard in the head?!’
‘So he’s not in a hurry to settle things now? He was the one who handed me divorce papers and kicked me out on the same night! All this just so his mistress could move in with him!’
“Mr. Hunt are you trying to be funny here? Is this a joke?” Renee asked as she pointed to Briar’s belly. 1
‘Take a look at her belly. It looks like it’s gonna explode any minute now! You may not be in a hurry but she is and the baby is too. For their sake you should just sign it now.” 1
Stefan chuckled coldly and replied sarcastically. “I never realized how considerate my future ex-wife is. Why should I be in a rush to let go of someone amazing like you?” 1
Hearing this both Renee and Briar started to panic.
‘What the hell do you even want Stefan Hunt?” yelled Renee whose patience had finally run out.
‘He wanted a divorce but now he’s refusing to sign the papers? Why is he the one making decisions here? Does he think he’s some kind of god?
Does he think he makes the rules?’
Briar chimed in too. “Stefan I might not be in a hurry to marry you but look at how panicked Miss Everheart seems. I’m guessing she has a new boyfriend… Why don’t you sign those papers now? Let her go sooner so both she and her boyfriend feel reassured.”
Suddenly the atmosphere became extremely cold as if they had teleported to the North Pole. Stefan pressed his lips together clearly displeased.
Renee initially wanted to respond to the accusation but she figured that it was a convenient reason to convince Stefan to sign the papers anyway. Hence she kept quiet pretending as if she was guilty of such a thing.
Briar took a cautious gulp and continued. “Since you don’t have a relationship to begin with. Isn’t it better to let each other go so that you two can pursue the love you both deserve?”
“Exactly!” Renee agreed.
Although it hurt to hear Briar say that this was the truth and she simply couldn’t bring herself to disagree. Stefan didn’t love her not in the slightest which was why she didn’t understand why he was being so difficult.
‘Is he trying to toy with me now?’
“Leave for now” Stefan said coldly.
Upon hearing this Briar turned to Renee with an almost unnoticeable smirk on her face. “Yeah you should leave for now Miss Everheart. You know how Stefan is I’ll convince him for you okay?”
To their surprise Stefan spoke up “Briar I’m asking you to leave.”
“Oh…” Briar stammered as her face turned bright red.
“Have a good talk then I’ll be off now.”
Stefan and Renee were now the only ones left in the large room.
The man rose from his seat and made his way toward Renee slowly and steadily. 1
Renee was alarmed by his actions.
“What are you doing?” she asked.
Stefan trapped her in between him and his desk growling. “So tell me. Are you really in such a hurry to have me sign these papers because you have someone new?”
