Make It or Break It

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Finalisation

Olalla watched Fernando sadly as she sat across from him, she couldn’t believe this was finally it; after today she would no longer be Mrs. Olalla Torres. 

Olalla had to admit now that she wasn’t hiding her relationship with Damien, he seemed less interested in her; like he had only been with her because she was married to Fernando. 

“How are you?” Olalla asked softly making Fernando glanced at her; he wasn’t interested in dragging this out and he just wanted the papers signed so he could go on with his life. 

“I’m fine,” Fernando said making her smile at him; the footballer wondered what she was up to as they sat waiting for their lawyers. 

Olalla watched him knowing that she had let a good thing go and it had come back to bite her in the arse; Leo was the only reason that she saw her boyfriend anymore and it hurt her to knew he might not love her. 

“And how is Nora?” Olalla asked curious about her daughter, she knew she didn’t have any right to do so but that didn’t mean she didn’t love the little girl. 

Fernando stiffened and looked at his soon to be ex-wife, now he knew she was up to something; in the months since they had separated she had not once cared about him or Nora and now she was suddenly interested. 

“I miss you Fernando, I miss our life together,” Olalla said sadly making Fernando roll his eyes at her, she was only just now realising what a mistake she had made because of what she had done. 

Olalla had abused their little girl and had cheated on Fernando while lying about the paternity of her son; it wasn’t something that he could ever forgive her for. 

Fernando didn’t get the chance to respond before their lawyers appeared; the footballer stood and moved away from Olalla, who watched him disappointed that he wasn’t going to answer her.

Moving into the boardroom, Fernando’s lawyer set down the final document of the divorce; the footballer looked at it relieved this meant he could finally move on with Riley and their family. 

Olalla looked at the document sadly, she realised there was no going back after this and there was no stalling anymore; this was it for their marriage and she knew that she wasn’t ready for this. 

“Okay, Mr. Torres we need your signature here, here and here,” Fernando’s lawyer said marking where he needed to sign before he handed Fernando a pen so that he could sign the document that freed him from Olalla for once and for all. 

Fernando didn’t waste a moment before he signed the dotted lines that freed him from his marriage to his wife of just under three years. 

Olalla watched unable to bear how quickly he wanted this over, her lawyer repeated to her what his had said; she looked at Fernando sadly before she signed the divorce papers. 

Their lawyers smiled at the paper work as they checked for a final time that everything was in place to end their marriage. 

“That’s everything,” Olalla lawyer said as Olalla sat there numbly as Fernando stood and shook hands with his lawyer and left the room without looking back at her.

Riley looked at her boyfriend surprised as Fernando walked into her office, a smile painted onto his face as he looked at her, he was finally all hers. 

The footballer didn’t waste a moment as he pulled the brunette into a kiss making Riley wrap her arms around his neck and deepen the kiss wondering what had gotten into him. 

“Hola,” Fernando said as he slowly backed her into the massage room and closed the door behind them; she laughed as he picked her up and set her on the massage table that was in the middle of the room.
