Chapter 29
I took a deep breath and stroked her hair. Even my son was already affected. Why did my son and I end up in this kind of situation?
After I hugged him and calmed him down I looked for his suitcase and when I found it I opened his closet and packed his clothes. We need to get out of here.
When I finished packing her clothes, I looked at the envelope with the annulment papers. Ivan needs to sign this to end it all. I took it right away and invited Ice to leave.
We walked quickly down the stairs without making any noise. I winced when I saw the whole house. The equipment was broken but not all.
“Ice, where’s your daddy?” I asked my son.
He looked around and pointed to something so I turned around. Ivan was on the terrace drinking alcohol and smoking. I turned to Ice and knelt down so we were equal.
“Stay here, baby. I’ll just talk to your dad. Stay here, okay?”
Ice nodded and sat down on the stairs holding her small suitcase. I sighed before standing up and looking at the envelope. This stupidity needs to end.
I walked closer to Ivan and when I got close to him I swallowed one after another because he was already consuming several bottles and packs of cigarettes. Will he commit suicide? What happened?NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“Ivan …” I said using my cold voice. I don’t want to prolong it any longer.
He turned to me immediately and I was almost depressed by his appearance. He look wasted. What happened and was he like this? I just disappeared for a while and then he was like this right away? Seriously, I’m curious.
I sighed, don’t talk ah. “You, even if you look like a stone for being so numb, take care of yourself. Because even if you’re like that, you don’t get hurt, you can get hurt …” say what? What were you saying, Ella ?!
“Rigella …” he stood up and was about to approach me but I immediately walked away and looked at him bravely.
Without hesitation I handed him the envelope. I never thought I would be this brave in front of him. Maybe because … I’m thinking of my son? I don’t know.
“You need to sign these papers so we can go.” I seriously promise.
He frowned and accepted the envelope and opened it. While I opened my body bag to get a ball pen.
“As you want, here were the annulment papers. Sign that to finish everything-” I stopped closing the zipper of my bag when I heard something torn.
My eyes widened as I looked at him as he tore up the papers.
Shit! was he out of his mind?!

Rigella’s POV
I just stared at him in shock as he tore up the annulment papers. I let go of the ball pen I was holding at the same time as my world collapsed. What was he doing ?!
I was feeling like I was suffocated by the torn annulment papers on the floor. I couldn’t breathe properly and I couldn’t move either. I looked at him catching his breath as he stared at me seriously.
When I woke up in a trance I immediately looked again at the torn annulment papers. Damn it! Why did he tear up? Isn’t this what he wants?
“Why did you tear up ?!” I frowned and shouted as I glared at him.
I still thought he would be happy because I had already filed an annulment and he was still smiling to sign them but … he tore it up ?! was he a demented animal ?!
I was so bitten on my lower lip because of the excessive biting. was he stupid? I was the one who cared to make us all happy then … then this was how he will make her confused? E putangina pala niya e!
This bwiset, I get depreciated in no time. I stared at him badly while he was smiling but … a bitter smile. Why was it?
“No one will get annulled. No one …” he promised firmly so I swallowed.
I bit my tongue to stop myself from speaking. I might even despise this animal e. What was his problem and he does not want an annulment? Does he want to make Lara a sidekick forever?
I just stared at him but I couldn’t read the expression on his face. But his eyes … there was anger, pain, and sadness. What happened ?! I can not understand!
“I won’t let my son stay away from me …” he said so I immediately took a deep breath.
I laughed heartily. So that’s it? He frowned at me so I raised an eyebrow at him while laughing. According to, the truth also came out.
“Just like that? You don’t want to lose the right to Ice so you didn’t sign. Wow, you’re different huh? You impressed me …” I pretended to be amazed at her and applauded her.
I was so annoyed with him that I seemed to want to have sex with him. He has no right to be a father because he was worthless. Why did he become the father of my children? I’m sorry, tsk.
“Rigella-”
I waved my palm at him for him to stop. “Stop, Ivan. You know, honestly, I really have no intention of depriving you of your rights to Ice e. But when you left your ass hook here in our house, you pushed me to my limits. So there, That’s what you got today. But if you don’t want to and if you want to, my son was mine. He’s mine. ” I said emphatically and stared at him sharply.
He sighed in disbelief looking at me. He thought maybe I couldn’t afford to do that. But he just thought that because no matter which court we face, I will do everything for me to get Ice.
He shook his head. “You can’t do that …”
“Of course, I can! I am a Crisostomo and I was born a fighter. So no matter what you do, Ice was only mine. Even if we face the court, I will fight for my rights with him because I am his mother. “I gave birth to him, I carried him for nine months so I have more rights.”
“He’s my son too, Rigella! I have my rights on him!” He shouted irritably while he was still being manipulated by his senses.
‘that was lost when you chose to be with Lara more than us! Your courage to demand that you have a right to her but the truth was you don’t care about her. How dare you, asshole! You have no right.” I was still stressed with him.
“Why were you doing this?” He asked softly but firmly.
I smiled. “Really? Coming from you? Aren’t you the one who wants that lintek annulment? I already gave you but what? You tore up the annulment papers, you beast!”
This time he smiled. He’s an animal, I’m not kidding with him! Annoying!
“I’m selfish, Rigella. You know that …”
I feel my face darken because of what he said. He was really selfish! A selfish moron!
“I’ll ask you. Why were you doing this? Isn’t this what you’ve been waiting for a long time? were you really crazy and you tore up the annulment papers ?!” I shouted at him irrationally.
He lost his grin and got a serious expression. He averted his eyes from me and bowed.
A few more minutes of silence prevailed before he answered. “Lara left me …”
