Marian went to the company and, since the case was not very difficult, she was able to resolve it quickly after a conversation in the human resources department, so when she finished, she put away all her things and went to the elevator.
As she exited the elevator, she saw a crowd of people surrounding a man. She was a little curious to see who this person was who had such a large welcoming committee. As she approached, she saw a tall, elegant man with a rather proud demeanor. It was none other than Peter Martin.
Physically, he was the same man she had left four years ago, tall, with light brown hair, blue eyes, and a fair complexion. He looked as proud and arrogant as the last time she saw him, and a shiver ran down her spine.
She could see one of the men accompanying him explaining some details about various renovations made to the entrance structure and explaining the benefits of investing in his company.
The crowd of people was right where she was passing by. Peter's expression was cold when he saw her. She thought about continuing to walk, but without knowing why, her feet simply stopped and their eyes met.
In recent years, she had fantasized about seeing Peter again a million times, but it was not the same as having him there face to face. She felt her heart stop for a second, and she had to remember to breathe. That day, she expected anything to happen except seeing that man again.
Four years was a long time, but it had not erased any of the memories she had of him.
"Marian?" he said after approaching her and looking her up and down, feeling that the woman in front of him was a completely different person.
"It's been a long time since I've seen you, Peter," she said with a polite smile.
The man did not respond, his face immediately becoming serious.
"How are your parents?" she asked, trying to direct the attention to something else.
"They are fine," Peter's voice sounded cold.
"I'm glad, tell them I'll visit them one of these days. It was nice seeing you," she gave him a slight smile and left.
She felt her hands trembling and sweating horribly, but she tried to appear confident and secure in front of him, walking calmly, while he stood watching her leave that place in the same way he had three years ago.
"Mr. Martin?" said the owner of the company.
Peter continued with the visit he was making, although his thoughts were only on Marian and her abandonment three years ago.
That day, after leaving work, Marian went to pick up her little daughter from kindergarten. She was the last one there, and when the girl saw her mother, a big smile appeared on her face, as she ran to hug her.
The teacher was very happy with Abigail's behavior. The girl behaved very well and was very obedient.
A couple of days later, Marian felt more secure in her job and liked what she was doing. In the afternoon, she received the call she had been waiting for. It was Oscar Spencer.
He was Peter's cousin and a good friend of hers and Alexa's. They studied together for many years and always had a close relationship.
"Is the matter of my new house ready?" she asked as soon as she answered the phone.
"I haven't been able to achieve it. There's something you should know, and I hope you don't get angry," she accepted, thinking he hadn't been able to get the house she had chosen.
"It is not advisable for you to buy a house since you have not yet divorced," Oscar's voice was cautious.
"What?! There must be a mistake! That's impossible!" she couldn't believe it.
Four years ago, she had left Peter's lawyer the signed divorce papers. She always thought he would rush to file them to be free and have nothing to do with her. On the other end of the line, Oscar sighed, knowing that Marian would not like the news at all.
She was so upset that she asked for the afternoon off and went to the civil affairs office where they confirmed that she was still married to Peter. She didn't understand anything. That man hated her and kept telling her that he wanted to get away from her, so why didn't he accept the freedom she was giving him without any problems.
She thought things over and took all the documents to go to the Galaxy building. When she arrived, the receptionist did not let her in because she had to have an appointment to pass, so she took her phone and although she did not have the number saved in the phone, she knew it by heart.
That number was one of those things that, despite the passage of time, you always remember. It's as if she had it tattooed in her memory, and it was one of those things that she would never admit, in fact she remembered everything that related her to Peter.
She heard the phone ring once, twice, three times, and finally it was answered.
"Peter, it's me, Marian," she heard silence on the other end of the line.
At that moment, she looked towards the entrance and saw Ethan Wright entering the building. He saw her and his face of astonishment was evident, so she hung up the phone and went to greet him.
"When did you come back?" he asked her when he saw her.
"A few days ago," she replied calmly.
"Are you looking for Peter?" she nodded and he let her in.
When they arrived at the office, they could see that he was busy reviewing some documents. He looked at Ethan and did not realize that Marian was coming in behind him.
"Peter, Marian is here and needs to talk to you," he said goodbye to her and left the office.
"Were you the one who called me a while ago?" he asked with annoyance.
"Why aren't we divorced? We were supposed to be divorced right now," she handed him the documents that had been given to her at the civil affairs office.
"I don't want you to call me again," was his response while looking at the documents she was showing him.
"Give me the documents and I'll file them at the civil affairs office," she was furious with his behavior.
"I think you always want things to be done your way," he replied.
She did everything possible for them to get married and years later she left him, leaving without saying where, did she really think that things would be done her way?
