"What are you doing here?" he angrily asked Benedict along with Olivia.
Benedict smiled. "Let's talk inside, Trigger."
"I won't let you step inside my house unless you tell me what the fuck is going on. Why are you with that guy?" he asked emphatically.
Olivia awkwardly answered. "Trigger, ijo, please. Let us in first so we can all talk properly."
He was about to close the door in front of their faces when he felt how Miracle held his arm. "Trigger, let's let them in first."
The man could do nothing but open the door. He turned his back on the guests and gently pulled his wife to follow him.
He sat comfortably on the sofa while Miracle's on his side.
The three guests sat in front of the couple. Benedict flashed a sweet smile before looking at them.
"I haven't introduced you to Attorney Constantino yet. Attorney, this is my son-in-law, Trigger Knights," he said enthusiastically to the person next to him.
Attorney Constantino immediately offered his hand for a handshake. "It's my pleasure to meet you, Mr. Knights."
Without emotion the man accepted her outstretched hand. He then grabbed the wife's palm and handed it to the lawyer.
"This is my wife, Miracle."
The girl's parents sneezed in embarrassment. They didn't even introduce their daughter to the visitor. How fucking rude.
"Hello," the woman greeted shyly before shaking hands with the lawyer.
Trigger faked a cough before facing his in-laws. "What are you doing here? If it's about business stuff, we can talk about it in my company. You don't have to go here."
Olivia answered him. "No, ijo, we're not here for our partnership."
Benedict took out an envelope before placing it on top of the table. "We're here for this."
He frowned as the man looked at the envelope lying in front of the couple. He lifted his head for a second before opening it. He pulled out a thin piece of paper from inside it.
For a few seconds Trigger's eyes remained on the stacked papers in front of him. After reading it, he clenched his jaw before laughing devilishly.
He carelessly placed the paper on the table and glared at those in front of him.
"What the hell is this?"
"Ijo, this is for your own good. I know how much you wanted to get out of this situation. Since the merger of our companies was successful, we thought about this as a gift for you," Benedict answered. him.
Trigger turned to his wife when he saw her hand slowly grabbing the papers. He quickly held her wrist to stop her.
"Miraculously don't read it, it's just a bullshit paper," he said.
The woman did not follow him. He still grabbed the paper to read what was in it.
Her heart stopped beating when she finally read what's inside.
It's an annulment paper. The necessary processes are ready and in place. The only thing missing is the signature of the couple.
"Don't worry, ijo. Your uncle Benedict and I will pay for everything you need. We just need both of you to sign this paper and everything will be alright. You'll be free to marry the girl you love, and as for Miracle. We'll just find another man to marry her to be our business partners as well. "
Trigger clenched his jaw with that.
"Are you kidding me?" He let out a dangerous laugh.
"What do you think of my wife? A fucking toy ?!" Everyone stood up as the man grabbed Benedict's collar. Miracle just quietly sat on the sofa, absorbing what's happening around her.
If she signs that paper, Trigger will be finally free. He'll be free to marry the woman he loves.
But if she did this. She'll get married to another guy she doesn't even know. She'll be a puppet again.
He turned to the wife who was holding her father's collar.
Trigger's freedom in exchange for her pain. Of course, she'll always choose his freedom.
"Trigger, let's talk 'to--" The man never finished his father in law. He immediately pushed it away.
"This fucking paper is fucking nonsense. Get out of my house with this paper," he said angrily.
"But, ijo, we're doing this for your own sake! Why are you mad at me?" Olivia cried out passionately as she hugged her husband.
"I won't sign that paper so leave--"
They all stopped when they heard the noise from behind them. They saw how Miracle took the pen before signing that damn paper.
They were all surprised at what the woman did.
"I signed it. J-Just listen to them, Trigger. You'll be free after this," she said softly.
The man could feel the rage of anger in his chest. He quickly walked towards the table before grabbing the paper and tearing it apart.
He turned angrily to the woman. "Why? So you could marry another man and show her how wicked you are?"
The woman was stunned by what he said.
"Trigger, h-not like that. I just want to--"
"I won't fucking sign this, I'd rather see you suffering in my arms than being free. "He threw away the paper harshly before throwing death glares over her." I wasn't mistaken, you're really a fucking bitch who wanted to gain every men's attention. I'll fucking give it to you, Miracle. I'll fucking make you suffer inside this house. "
Everyone silently watched the angry man as he climbed to the second floor of the mansion.
No one dared to speak up. Until Miracle's sobs filled the whole room. She stood up as she took the envelope. He handed it to the parents.
"You shouldn't have come here," he cried.
Benedict angrily grabbed her arm. Miracle still winced from the pain.
"You need to convince Trigger upon signing. I'll bring another annulment paper to you and beg him to sign it! If you don't get your husband to sign, you'll be charmed by me Miracle," his own father angrily threatened before pushing him away. on the sofa.
She just watched her parents leave together with that useless lawyer. When he was sure that it was out of his sight, he let out a sob that he had been suppressing.
Why does it feel like everyone's blaming her for this? Her husband was angry with her because he wanted to give her freedom. Her parents were angry with her because her husband did not sign.
Why does everyone blame her for everything?
