Chapter 282
After a long silence, he removed Tara from his embrace. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Looking at her puffy red eyes, Odell frowned. “Tara, tell me what it is that you want?”
Tara was taken aback. Her teary eyes were uncomprehending as she looked at him and said, ” Odell, what do you mean?”
“I failed you, so I will do whatever is necessary to compensate you.”
Tara wanted to bury herself in his embrace again but he stopped her.
Instead, she held onto his arm and continued to sob. “Odell, I don’t want anything but you. I want to be with you for the rest of my life. You said that you would protect me for as long as you were alive.”
Odell’s face fell. Of course he remembered what he had said, but he had never expected to fall for a woman like Sylvia either. After a long while later, he said, “Tara, I’ll continue to protect you and make sure nothing changes in your life. I will make you the most famous artist but I don’t think I can continue to be your boyfriend.” Tara burst into tears. “I don’t want that! I don’t want to leave you, I can’t live without you!” Odell pursed his lips. He let her cry it out for a while until she finally seemed to calm down before he said, “Let’s get you home first.” “Odell, I want to be with you,” she said as she stared at him with her watery eyes. Odell paused for a second before he said, “Let’s get into the car.” With those words, he immediately strode to the car outside. Tara cried as she followed him outside.
The black sports car roared to life and headed to Lake Victoria Villa.
Odell stopped in front of the gate but Tara refused to get out.
He had never been a hesitant person and since he had already made his decision, he knew he was going to act on it. Wearing a grim look on his face, Odell said, “I have to go back to work. You go have some rest and calm yourself down. I’ll call you later tonight.”
Tara noticed the grim look and dared not challenge his patience anymore.
After she got out of the car, Odell drove away and disappeared at the intersection.
Tara furiously smashed her purse to the ground and stomped her foot. “That b*tch! Sylvia, you f*cking b*tch!”
She was throwing such a tantrum that her usual elegance and poise were nowhere to be found..
Sylvia washed herself twice in the shower. However, no matter how hard she scrubbed, she could not just simply wash off the bruises around her neck and body.
After her shower, she put on thick a thick sweater to cover up the bruises. Then,’just as she walked out of the bathroom, her phone rang.
It was from that ‘baddie’. She declined the call without a second thought. Seconds later, the man called again. The name on the screen of her phone reminded her of the irritating scene from earlier, so she declined the call once again.
However, her phone rang a third time and this time, Sylvia hesitated before she answered it. His cold voice, with a strong hint of dissatisfaction, came through the phone. “What are you doing? Why do you keep declining my call?” “My finger slipped.” “Your finger slipped… twice?” Since they were talking through the phone, Sylvia was not afraid of him. She boldly said, “Yes. Twice.”
Odell went silent for a moment before he said, “Bring your identification documents and come to my office later.”
“What identification documents? Why should I go to your office?”
“Bring your ID card, the divorce papers, and anything that is related. I am having a meeting now but I’ll have some time in the afternoon. Come to the office so that we can get married
again.”
He sounded unusually calm, as if remarrying was something normal. Sylvia’s mind went blank. She blurted out, “Odell Carter, are you out of your mind?” He had just shooed her away in front of Tara earlier, yet now he wanted to marry her again? Just because they had sex last night? The call went silent for a few seconds before the man’s deep voice said, “You have two hours to come over. if I don’t see you here in two hours, you won’t be seeing Isabel and Liam anymore.”
