Boomerang Love

Melanie watched as Neom entered the prison. Her mind was filled with images of Jessica being hit The tremors in her hands hadn't stopped. Initially, she had wanted to accompany Naomi However, she was too weak at heart and was unable to stop herself from trembling.

Naomi was the first to arrive at the visitation room. Ivan, in his prison uniform, was escorted into the room by a prison warden. His face fell when he entered the room.

He gazed at Naomi as if she were the reason that he'd ended up in this situation.

There wasn't an ounce of remorse in his eyes.

The warden cuffed Ivan to the chair. Then, Ivan looked at Naomi and scoffed, "What are you here for? Are you here to mock me on behalf of the Colemans?"

Naomi ignored him. She pushed the divorce agreement toward him and instructed," Jessica has regained consciousness. She wants to get a divorce. This is for you to sign."

After hearing that Jessica wanted to divorce him, he jeered. "So, now that I'm in prison, she wants to get a divorce? Does she want to elope with another man? Goodwin, please pass this message to Jessica.

"Tell her that she can forget about it. She will not be getting this divorce, even if I have to serve a lifetime sentence.

"So, she can forget about getting remarried. If she has the guts to cheat on me, tell her that she and her family better beware."

Naomi stared straight at Ivan without saying a word.

This was what men were like. It was human nature.

When Ivan had wanted to climb toward success, he didn't hesitate to trample on Jessica. When he had to go through a rough patch, he wanted her to suffer with him.

He wasn't going to suffer alone. He needed to have someone with him.

Naomi stared at Ivan coldly. After a while, she spoke up in a calm voice, “Ivan, even if you don't sign this, the court will grant the divorce nonetheless.

"That said, this will count as unwillingness to cooperate with the legal work. Plus, you are causing trouble for the court. In the future, you will have no hope of having your sentence reduced."

Ivan was uneducated about how the law worked. Thus, Naomi figured that she could just come up with some garbage. He wouldn't know it anyway.

At that, Ivan's face became twisted. He was a P.E. teacher. He had no idea whether Naomi's claims were true or false.

Nevertheless, when Nicholas had come to see him the day before, he'd been told to keep up good behavior in prison. He was told that it would help him in his appeal for a reduced sentence.

Ivan scrunched up his face. Naomi handed a pen to him and said, "It's time for you to sign the papers."© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Ivan looked at the pen that Naomi had just handed to him. He was extremely reluctant to sign the papers.

He wished that he could keep Jessica hanging like this, so that she wouldn't be able to live a free life. He would be a thorn/in her side forever, and she would never be able to get rid of him.

But the thought of getting a reduced sentence made him waver.

Naomi then said, "If you wish to harm others out of spite, so be it."

Upon hearing that, Ivan picked up the signature pen with a frown on his face.

Naomi flipped the document to the page where he needed to sign. She tapped on the spaces where his signatures were supposed to go. She urged, "Sign your name in these few places."

Ivan tried to flip to the front pages of the document.

Naomi chuckled. She said, "Jessica does not want the residence that you both shared. She doesn't need you to return the deposit that you both paid initially. All you need to do is sign these papers."

When Jessica had said that she wanted to get a divorce, Naomi had suggested that she fight for her rights.

Jessica had shaken her head and said that she didn't want a forked from Ivan. Although she had out 480 thousand dollars for their house deposit at the time, she didn't want to get it back either.

According to Ivan's parents' personalities, they would cause a commotion if she wanted to get her share of the house.

Even if Ivan still had the funds to return the 480 thousand dollars to her, she wouldn't know if that money was clean.

It could even be money that had been given to him by other women. Hence, she didn't want it.

Furthermore, she had also asked Melanie to get rid of all the clothes and items she'd used. She had also cut her dark hair short.

She wanted a new beginning, one where she could forget about him and start afresh.

Naomi chose to honor her wishes.

Ivan looked through the agreement briefly. He noted that there wasm indeed no mention of any division of their property. It was an agreement solely about the divorce, so he signed it.

After that, Naomi put the agreement away and got up to leave.

Suddenly, Ivan called out from behind her, "Don't think that this is the end of this case Goodwin. I will continue to E appeal. This is not the end."

Right after he said that, Naomi turned around.

She smiled slightly. "If so, who are you thinking of asking to help you with the case? Simone Terrell? Shall I let you listen to something?"

Naomi walked back to the table and retrieved a recording pen from her bag.
