Autumn puts her phone down. She put her phone on silent to ignore Ivan's calls. She was shocked he even called her in the first place it's something he has never done in her past life.
She continued looking around the mansion her father in-law got for her and Ivan. She looked at the floor she laid on when she died.
"Was this a second chance?" She gasps to herself. So she did really die. And somehow she went back three years in the past. Then her mind went back to the person who instigated her death, Iris.
Her hands went straight to her stomach. The cold empty void then overwhelmed her, she had lost her baby in her past life. Once again anger washed over her and a single tear stream down her cheek.
"Miss Autumn, your lunch is ready." she suddenly got flashbacks from Felicity poisoning me. Autumn froze, her face went white and her cheeks blushed, filling a bit of color in her face. Her heart raced as she my voice trembled.
"Miss Autumn are you okay?" The maid asked. Autumn looked over to her, she wasn't Felicity.
"I'm not that hungry." Autumn muttered in a low tone. "Please give it to the driver or one of the staff." Autumn told her as she nodded and left feeling worried.
From the day Autumn entered this house she never cooked. It was nice having others do things for her but if she planned on divorcing Ivan and staying alive she needed to do take matters into her own hand.
She goes downstairs as a few maids focused on her. Her eyes darted to the dinning room to see her plate sealed, she walks past the dinning room to the kitchen to fix up her lunch. A few maids peeked in the kitchen to see her cooking until she was done, she carried her plate to the dinning room and proceeds to eat her lunch silently.
The maids watched in silence but suddenly went back to doing their respective jobs. Autumn felt bad about not eating the maid's food but was glad they respected her wishes, all was good and dandy until she heard the sharp contract of Ivan's voice.
"Where is she?" He yelled a couple of times in anger.
A few maids approached him whispering to him that Madam had refused to eat their food and she entered the kitchen and cooked herself.
Ivan was confused as well, he goes to the dinning room to see Autumn almost done with her lunch which he assumed she made.
He walks up to her.
Autumn completely ignores his presence which made Ivan more furious, this wasn't the Autumn he married and knew for years.
"I heard you cooked lunch by yourself." He started. "Seems like you have other ways of looking for my attention, don't you think you look desperate?" Autumn picked up a napkin and dabs her chin gently before picking up her plate and walking past Ivan.
Ivan watch her go to the kitchen and then upstairs completely ignoring him.
Was she trying to lure him to the bedroom perhaps?
Was all this overreaction because he hadn't fucked her, he smirked loosening his tie as he approached their bedroom to see her all dressed up their eyes crossed for a moment as Autumn walks past him.
Ivan finally takes note of her dressing, she wasn't dressed as modest as she usually was and she wasn't wearing her wedding ring like she always did.
He followed her from behind, he grabbed her wrist holding up her ring less finger.
"Why aren't you wearing your ring?" He asked. Autumn furrowed her brows trying to retreat her wrist.
"What?" He mocks her with a chuckle. "After humiliating me the other day you think you wan walk scot free? All what you're doing won't make me want you Autumn, give it up." Ivan says as Autumn felt torn down no matter how hard she tried not to let anything get through her.
She retreats her wrist from Ivan.
"If you think I'm doing everything for your attention you must be psychotic. After years of humiliation I went through because of you, I finally want a divorce and now I'm the villain? What do you fucking want from me?" Autumn's voice cracks in tears as a few maids lurked around feeding in to the drama.
"I want the fucking truth. Why are you acting odd after all these years? You finally don't want to be with me? You, Autumn Dawson? Bullshit." Ivan cocked his head, his eyes narrowing, and Autumn felt a surge of anger mixed with shame for allowing this disrespect for so long.
"You wanna know the truth?" Autumn inhaled sharply, her chest tightening as she struggled to steady her breath. She locked eyes with Ivan, her heart pounding in her ears. Her voice cracked from the start, her eyes welling up, but she forced the words out.
"I-I I'm in love with another man."
