Tobias couldn't believe his ears.
Amara, the woman who had claimed to love him for the past 6 years and always stuck to him like gum, had filed for a divorce even before he could. This fact kept disturbing him.
He was the one meant to file for a divorce! And not the gentle wife he remembered!
"You're really testing my patience, Amara." He threatened, eyes cold and voice colder. " you know what I'm capable of."
"It's not a test, Tobias. It's a fact that is about to happen," Amara retorted, not at all intimidated by his words and demeanor.
"So you're sure you want to go against me, is that it?" Tobias said dangerously.
"What are you gonna do? Destroy me, ruin my reputation, destroy Melanie's business, or something along the lines of that?"Amara laughed coldly. Without waiting for Tobias to speak, Amara warned him."I dare you, Tobias. Try to lay even a finger on the people I hold dare and you'll see just how that'd turn out."
Tobias looked at Amara's cold gaze, as if he was looking at a stranger. Was this really the wife who had served him for six years by his side? Or she was a disguised viper from the beginning?
Over the past six years, she had just been pretending! Pretending to gain his grandfather's sympathy, and after his grandfather passed away, her true colors were exposed.
Thinking of this, Tobias' eyes darkened further. "Grandpa has passed away. So you've decided to tear off your mask now?"
"There's a difference between shedding skin and becoming the real me. Try me and I'll show you just who the real me is.""Amara looked at him and said coldly.
"Amara...please don't be angry. If you're willing to tell us who the man you fell for is, I think Tobias would definitely agree to give you more compensation," Celeste interjected.
Upon hearing Celeste's words, Tobias immediately thought of something. He grabbed Amara's arm, his expression darkening as he said, "So you think you've found yourself a new sugar daddy, and that's why you're defying me?"
Amara shot Celeste, that vile snake, a fierce glare, but she didn't care what Tobias thought. If this could make him agree to the divorce faster, she was willing to play the villain.
She shook off Tobias' grip on her arm and said coldly, "It has nothing to do with you. I've already signed the divorce agreement. Now, take your whore and leave! Don't ruin my mood!"
After saying that, Amara pushed past them and went to find Melanie, who was conveniently walking over from the booth, having likely noticed the commotion.
She didn't hesitate to give Tobias and Celestine a nasty look as she asked. "What are they doing here?"
"I don't care and I don't wanna know. Come on Mel, let's go elsewhere, I can't stand the air being polluted by the stench of sluts and assholes."
Without saying another word, or looking back at Tobias, Amara took Melanie's hand and walked off.
Only after she had walked away did Tobias clench his jaws and allow the impact of all her words show on his face and might I tell you, he did not look pleased in the least bit.
"Toby?" Celestine gently called out, wanting to snap his attention away from staring at where Amara had stood.
But Tobias was having none of it.
He was pissed, irritated, and enraged beyond words.
Who was Amara to treat him like she just had done?
