Chapter 11 : He Don't Want Her Maya's POV I didn't care about how much time she spent preparing the meal , didn't care about the effort she used in making them " You didn't just do that , Maya " Brandy said , moving closer to me , her gaze darkened She was furious , angry and I liked that Maybe , she would show Larry her true colors , and then he would know that she was here to destroy us . " Oh , I just did that , " I said , sarcastically . " You don't get to feed my husband like a whore " I said , gritting my teeth " Do you know how long I spent preparing those ? " She pointed to the meal which was now spreading on the floor , making the room a mess I don't care . " I told her . She ran her hands through her hair , scoffing . " Then why didn't you try to cook for your dear husband ? You leave the maid to do it ? That shows how worthless a wife you are ! " She yelled . The words didn't get to me as she knew nothing about us True . The maid does the cooking , but not most times and that's what Brandy doesn't understand . " You do talk like you know us , but no . You've only been here for a couple of days " I told her , then closed in on the space between us " Stop trying to act like you are the lady of the house . Or .. " I paused , seizing her with my gaze . " You want to be his wife instead ? That looks like what you're currently doing 1 spat " Stop acting like you know me ! " She almost yelled and I could tell , she was holding back because Larry was here . If he wasn't , heaven knows she would have attempted to slap me or yenk my hair . Then a loud thud came . It was Larry slamming his hands on the table . " Stop " His eyes were closed , his jaw clenching . " Just stop this , the both of your Then he stood up , standing in front of Brandy and I Brandy's face changed , tears blurring her vision immediately . " I spent hours trying to get these done , Larry . She ... she ruined everything " Her voice trembled and then her tears fell . I scoffed , unable to believe her . She was a Queen of acting . How could her voice and face possibly change in a second ? " It would be nice to have you teach me how to set , Brandy , " I told her . " Maya , stop " Larry yelled at me and I flinched . " You're yelling at me ? Because of her ? " I asked It had been happening for days now , he had been treating me like trash because of her , but I was still finding it hard to get used to it . Heck ! I can't get used to it . +35 BONUS It felt like my place was getting stolen . My heart ached as I knew I would be leaving because of her , and not because the contract ended " Maya , please ... " He wants me to stop , and and I did just that . I smiled , swallowing all I had to say . They won Brandy . I'm sorry ... and I will make this up to you some other time " Larry told her , and I found myself not being able to keep quiet again as 1 scoffed . " You do want her here , Larry " That wasn't a question , it was a fact I had known He stared at me , and I held his gaze . Even though I couldn't see the emotion behind those eyes , I got more and more angry . Then I turned , walking away , but then stopped again , returning to the dining table . I picked the glass of water up and turned , splashing it on Brandy who gasped . " For being a petty thief I said , then turned to Larry " I guess we are done here , husband " I told him , then stormed upstairs , I don't care if Larry hates me because of this . I entered our bedroom , palming my face Tears dropped . I wanted to hold them back , no , I thought I wouldn't even cry because of them again , but that was a lie I had told myself I was tearing up again , because of them . The door opened , Larry entered and then I realized he had followed me . " Maya . " he called my name , but I wasn't ready to listen to him . Hearing his voice at the moment was just too much to bear . " Larry . I got our divorce papers " I told him , moved over to the nightstand and pulled an envelope out Earlier in the day , I had fetched this from the lawyer , but honestly , every part of me wished I wouldn't have to give it to him . I placed it on his chest angrily and he had his hand on it . " I know it was just a marriage I had to keep to my end of the deal " I told him . " Now I've done that . But I want you to know , I enjoyed every part of the three years and I'm grateful for it " I said " I will sign after you're done with it , and once it's finalized , I will never appear in front of you ever again " I added and walked to the door But Larry rushed after me , grabbing my arm " You're getting things wrong . Maya " he said , and my gaze darted between his eyes . Fear He was scared , but I couldn't tell if that was fear of losing me or something else . " I don't want you to go Maya , I want you here " he said , but then I pushed him away . " Stop lying to me , Larry ! " I yelled , tears flowing down my face . " You don't love me , you don't want me I was unable to control my tears my tears , my emotions , but I wasn't regretting it . It was the truth . trying to keep eep me here when you don't even you want me ! " I added , grabbed my phone , then stormed out of the room . I walked to the garden as I stood in front of the pool , crying my eyes out I wanted to be alone . I wanted to cry till I no longer had tears coming from my eyes . It would be for the best , but the thought of having to forget about this place made me tear up the more . +
