Sweet Divorce

Then the door swung open and Liam came into sight, closely followed by Jacob. The scowl on Liam’s face deepened. Immediately, there was quite a lot of nervous energy in the air.

But Michael’s face did not change, though he felt the anger coiling inside him. He held a glass of red wine and put a smile on his face when he turned to Liam, “Welcome, Wilson! Get a drink?”

Michael sneered and continued, “If you want to come here next time, it’s just really easy. I will open the door for you. There’s no need to break down my door. After all, your car is worth than my door.”

“It’s a warning, Michael. Rita means the world to me. So, if you hurt her again, my car will smash into you! It will be wise not to test me in any way,” he said coldly.

That was fairly strong language, which made Michael’s face darken. He took one sip of the wine and said, “I’m not sure I know what you mean.”

“Bring him here!” Liam said to Jacob.

“A truck driver! He intended to crash into Rita today, but luckily, he failed.” Liam said and stood up. He surveyed the man on the ground, and then his gaze fell on Michael. “Make sure you could control your man, or I’ll do it for you,” he said and left.

Michael stared after him. When Liam was out of sight, the smile left Michael’s face. Instead, he was livid with rage.
