Just One Kiss Before Divorcing Me (Martin and Calvin) novel Chapter 5

Rin 

She raised an eyebrow at him now, at those words of never having taken a vacation. She’d often gone away with him to those exhibitions and conferences. That were about computer engineering and software releases or game creators looking for investments; things that he wanted to get in on or try and buy the rights to, if a small company was looking for backers. 

Two or three days in his company, four or five times a year, where they would stay in a five-star hotel, eat all their meals together, have s*x every night and sometimes in the morning, a few times in the afternoon even. Rin counted all of them as being away on vacation, little mini-vacations with him, but he did not she now knew.

She heard his phone ring, and he pulled it from his jacket pocket to look at it. “I’ve got to answer this,” He stated and turned to go, but then pointed to the papers as she took them from Wil. “Sign that.” He told her and walked away to take his call.

She watched him go, just walked away uncaring that her heart was filling with pain inside her chest. She doubted that man even knew she was in love with him. There would be no convincing him not to get a divorce, and she knew it, he’d already walked away dismissively.

She turned her eyes away from him and his retreating back and looked at the papers. Ignoring the pen that Wil was now holding out to her, to use to sign the papers like Cal wanted her to; she wouldn’t sign anything without reading it.

She stood there and flipped through the vacation that had been planned out for her. Her passport was attached to the holiday plans, something he kept in his office safe, for when needing to make impromptu travel arrangements which needed her passport details. She’d not had one until they’d gotten married. He’d organized it because at times they’d have to go overseas.

Yes, there was a first class plane ticket, a couple of layovers to get there, but first class the entire trip. There was five-star hotel accommodation at all the places she would stay and chauffer-driven transfers to all the places she was to visit. It was quite extensive and there were plenty of tours to attend, all in Italy, a place she did actually want to go. 

Though those tours she thought were more things for couples to do, she wondered if his secretary had planned this with the thought that they would be going away together, instead of it being a parting gift for their divorce.

She moved to the actual divorce papers. Just two pages long. She was to get the house she now lived in and four million dollars, the day after the divorce was finalised in six weeks' time. She frowned at that, they’d never really discussed a settlement. He’d just told her she’d be given compensation for the time she spent as his wife. 

She turned to the last page of it, and she could see that he’d already signed and dated it. He’d not only had it drawn up but made sure this would be over quickly as well. She’d heard his tone and the way he’d pointed to the papers, he expected her to do it right now while he stood there waiting. Or Wil stood here, Cal had already walked away uncaring.

She looked at her husband of three years, as he still walked away across the lawn, was talking on the phone. That call was more important than even saying goodbye to her. She understood that he was a busy man, but one would think he could give her his undivided attention for the few minutes it would take for her to sign these papers; She really did mean nothing to him at all.
