CHAPTER 1
DEAN’S POV
“Victoria. You are not getting half of everything. After all the shit you put me through you think you deserve anything? You’re delusional.” I screamed into the receiver of my cell phone before ending the call. It was only 8:30 in the morning & my day was already going to shit. I angrily snatched my keys off the key ring & stormed out the door, tripping on boxes on the way out.
I recently moved into a condo in the city after putting my house up for sale. I couldn’t live there anymore after everything that happened between Victoria & I. I tried to suck it up, but I didn’t make it past 4 weeks. The divorce was really stressing me out, so I’ve barely had time to unpack any of my things into the new condo.
As I approached my car I felt my phone in my pocket continuously vibrating. Before I even took my phone out I already knew who it was. Realizing my prediction was correct, I saw her name on my screen. Victoria, along with her phone number that I honestly wanted to block already. I silenced the call & got into my car & drove away, taking my normal route to the office. I honestly had no energy or desire to work today after all the chaos. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a choice.
I pulled open the huge doors to the office building & walked past the normal receptionist, Claire, who greeted me with a good morning & a bright smile.
“Mornin’ Claire.” I replied dryly with a forced smile, clearly still in a pissy mood.
I walked over to the elevator & impatiently waited for the doors to open. Once inside, I hit the usual number 7 as the doors closed behind me. The number illuminated as expected, & I felt the elevator go up. After a few short moments, a small ding echoed throughout the enclosed space, signaling the door to open. I stepped out & took a right & walked about 50 feet ahead until I reached my office area. I took my keys out of my pocket & unlocked the shiny all glass door, leaving it propped open with a door stopper.
I sighed in frustration as I glanced at the huge stack of paperwork on my desk. Leaning back in my chair, I put my hands over my face & grunted stressfully before actually attempting to get work done. ′Today was going to be a long day.′ I may need to hire an assistant.′ I thought to myself.
Alright guys I know the first chapter is a little short but I think that’s how I’ll make most of the chapters so it’s easier to update quicker to keep everyone interested.
Let me know what you guys think so far. Please & thank you!! ☺️
