Chapter 4: His Kindness

I watched my little sister sleep and put a blanket on her before I stood straight, turned off the light, and closed the door. I saw Triver down, cleaning the table, so I got the plates in his hand.

"You don't have to do this," I said, putting it on the sink."I should be the one who is cleaning here. Please, take a seat. You're my visitor here." I added and looked at him. He chuckles at me and crosses his arms.

"I insist to help." He said, so I rolled my eyes and wiped the table before I looked at him.

"It's already late, do you want to sleep here? I can fix the other room for you." I said, so he smiled and nodded.

"I'll help you." He said so. I stopped him by signaling him to stop and put my hands on my waist.

"You just sit here and let me do my thing," I said. I went upstairs and started to fix the vacant room. Since this place has three rooms, he can stay here anytime, and I have no problem with that since he's the one who helps us.

It's been one week since my ex-husband kicked me out of his property, and Triver was the only one who helped me, well sometimes I wonder what his intention in assisting me was, but there are also some parts of me that I shouldn't mind about it since he gives me kindness and that's should be the one I will think.

After a few minutes of cleaning, I went back and saw him sitting on the couch and looking at the picture of my sister and me. I went near and crossed my arms, and he looked at me as soon as he felt my presence.

"Sorry, I can't do anything, so I checked some photos here." He said and smiled at me. I smiled at him and sat beside him.

"It's fine," I said, looking at the photo of me with my sister."You know what? I am thankful that you are helping us." I said and looked at him."I don't know what to do if you ever didn't help us. As my sister said, we will probably roam outside and become homeless," I said, so he laughed.

"It's nothing, I love to help." He said and sighed."I was shocked by the news that your ex-husband has a scandal." He said, so I chuckled and looked down. That is also probably one of the news spreads in our country. What I think was all right, and it all happened. Everyone watches his scandal video, and I feel so embarrassed. Whenever someone knows me, they will ask how I feel knowing that my husband has a scandal.

"Well, it is what it is," I sighed."I don't know him anymore," I added, and my voice became severe this time. This is the first time I will open up to him.

"I love him so much," I said, looking at him. I saw him listening to me and waiting for what I should say next.

"I gave up my career for him, understood him, and loved him because I thought he would still change. He says sorry to me, and I always forgive him, but then he will repeat his actions, knowing that it will cause us to fight. It's a tiring cycle, you know? I am tired." I said and looked in front of me. I swallow and think my tears will fall anytime soon, so I put a forced smile on my lips before I continue talking.

"Until I caught him cheating on me, watched his scandal, caught him making out with someone in his office." I laugh, and my tears finally fall."He just gave pain, lies, and nothing but endless cheats, so yeah, I got tired, and then I decided to file for divorce, but this is what happened: he slowly got what he was mine in the first place." I sighed and wiped my tears.

"Sorry I became so dramatic now," I said and laughed, Triver shook his head and gave me a small smile.

"I understand you, and it's okay to cry." He said and held my hand."It's better to cry it out than hide it." He added, so I looked at him for a minute until my tears fell automatically, and I cried in front of him like a baby. He comforted me and listened to all my rants without judging me.

He spent his whole hour listening to my shit drama and comforting me, which I am so very thankful that somehow it lessened the pain I felt.

"Sorry, I became dramatic."

"It's fine, and I told you it's not a problem." He said and smiled at me.

"My assistant give me resignation letter yesterday and I signed it, it will effective by tomorrow so.." He pauses and looks at me."Maybe you like the position, its vacant." He said, so I stopped and thought of it.

"If you're thinking about the benefits well it has a good benefit and salary, after all I seen your application from your manager and I think you're qualified for the position." He said, so I smiled and nodded at him.

"Sure, I will gladly accept it," I said, so he smiled and stood up.

"I will need to rest. Please rest, too, and I will see you tomorrow, Sabrina." He said, giving me a soft smile before he went upstairs. I watched him until he finally went inside his room.

I was about to stand when my phone vibrated, so I grabbed it and saw an unknown number calling. I answered but didn't talk at first while waiting for the caller to speak.

"I need you to come to my office tomorrow at 8 AM sharp." I frown when the call ends. I look at my phone and chuckle in disbelief, knowing that Simon called me and wants me to come to his office tomorrow as if I will go. Who does he think he is to command me like that?

After all, I am not his wife, and we have already divorced.
