Olivia coughed her way back to reality waking me up from my slight slumber, Ethan was out of the room and I wondered if he had gone to meet Maya, that scumbag!
“Olivia, are you fine? Should I call the doctor?” I said affectionately pouring out a glass of water and handing it over.
“Is that a hickey? I thought you were getting divorced today” she smirked before groaning and turning sideways
“You don’t look like someone who’s getting divorced today, you look exquisite“.
“Madam Olivia, good to see you chatting happily. It means you’re getting better.”
“Oh yes Doctor, I feel so much better now that my daughter is here.” She said smiling happily in my direction, completely ignoring Ethan’s presence in the ward.
“Mom, are you okay? I hope you aren’t feeling weak?” He said trying his best to be a concerned son but Olivia completely ignored his questions and looked away.
She rolled over slightly and tried falling asleep. Within two minutes she was finally asleep and I proceeded to cover her with the blanket provided.
“I’m sorry I didn’t make it to the court today but I have my reasons. Look, I left the house yesterday
and went over to Mom’s place.
When she found out we were going to get divorced today, she suffered a shock and slumped immediately. Madison I’m scared about her health, you see she isn’t speaking to me right? She thinks
I’m the sole reason we’re getting divorced.”
“What makes her think that?”
“Uhm Maya came over last night and was being all touchy before mom came into the room.” A look of
shock washed through my face so even after all we did last night he still had to call in Maya?
“Oh really? Isn’t that a new low for you?” I said trying my best to sound like a jealous wife which was odd considering the fact that we are minutes away from getting divorced.
I put my hands in my bag and brought out the divorce papers, I stated the cause being infidelity and we were asked to declare assets and discuss settlements or provide a prenup if we had one,
“Please, not now, Madison looks at mother’s health, you know she loves you so much and wouldn’t want to let you go.
I’m pleading with you to let us keep acting married for the meantime, till she gets better then we can explain our decisions to her without the fear of her breaking down again.”
By the time he was done with his speech, I had slumped into the chair meant for visitors and rested my face in my palm turning to look at him with disgusted eyes.

“Did you do this on purpose? You must have told her something else to trigger her anxiety, I just know it. Ethan, you’re doing everything within your power to ensure we do not get divorced and I wouldn’t allow you to succeed.”
I snatched the papers from his hands and strutted off like a peacock ignoring him calling out to my name. I got into the car and just sat there.
I started the car and drove off the moment I saw him walking up to my car. I wasn’t in the mood to listen to his annoying voice today. I got several calls and messages from him that I almost missed the director’s call.
“Hello Madison, Good day. Do you perhaps have the time to come by the studio today? I’ve gotten a job for you.” He came across really ecstatic over the phone and I really needed the break away from my personal drama so I jumped at that opportunity and immediately made my way to the studio.
My phone beeped and it was a voice message from Ethan. I ignored it at first but was pushed to play it and it was just him pleading with me to consider our earlier discussion. I dropped off my phone and drove straight to the studio preparing my voice for the task ahead.
I headed briskly into the studio where I was handed my script, I read through it again and again trying my best to memorize it.
“Can I get some Ice tea?” I raised my head from the paper, I needed something to clear my head but not something harsh so it doesn’t affect my voice.
“Here ma’am, I’m so excited to hear you record today. I can’t wait for the film to be produced so I can listen to your part over and over again.” The polite waiter said beaming smiles at me.
I didn’t realize a lot of people waited eagerly to have me back in the studio.
How I wish I didn’t have to stay under an alias mandated by Ethan. I picked up my phone and sent
him a message
“I have a condition. If you want me to stay with you, I’ll discuss it when I’m done with work.” He had never replied to messages so promptly before. In a matter of minutes, I received a response, but I chose not to open it.
“Okay, everything is set ma’am, we’re just waiting for you to get ready and start recording immediately.”
I was somewhat distracted because a crowd had gathered outside, trying to hear my voice. They were all staff from the film production company, and it appeared that I was their favorite unconventional celebrity.
A loud applause signaled the end of my shoot, and I stepped out of the recording booth. As I stood up, I received a call from Isabella and glanced back when I heard a familiar voice–Maya.
“What’s all this commotion? What’s happening here? Can someone fetch the director?” She walked confidently toward his office.

“What’s happening in this studio? Where are all the staff here?” She asked.
“The artist came in for her voiceover recording today, and everyone was eager to hear her. She’s really talented,” he replied, smiling proudly.
“Better than me?” She retorted.
“No, no, you both have your specialties. Here, I’m sure you came for your script. Please take it; it’s been an honor working with you.”
We bumped into each other just outside the studio, and she looked genuinely surprised to see me.
“Are you the voiceover artist everyone’s raving about? You’re not worth it,” her tone always manages to get under my skin. She’s a perfect match for Ethan.
“Yes, I am. Do you have a problem with that? You know what’s not worth it? You!” I retorted, crossing
my arms.
“Do they know your true identity?” she sneered.
“They don’t. Do they know you’re a married man’s mistress?” By now, she was boiling with rage and started walking toward me, only stopping when her heel got caught in the stone.
“I’ll deal with you, Madison! I’ll let everyone know who you truly are!” She screamed as I walked
away.
“I’d love to see you try!”
Today, I’m reaching a compromise with Ethan, and I know the perfect condition to add.
