Black Swan's

DIVORCE BETWEEN CYAN AND OLIVIA

Ten o'clock the twins' birthday party is over. All the children looked exhausted and had fallen asleep since an hour ago. Only the adults who were still staying for the last show— drank themselves intoxicated, before Aciel finally dissolved them all and closed the door of his house tightly.

“All are asleep?”

Eden who was walking down the stairs immediately nodded at Aciel. His face looks very sleepy at the moment, but he forced himself to come down after putting the twins and two children who were very tired because of this party.

“At first Louise was very hard to put to sleep. He whines he wants to go to Hyena's room and Mark.”

“That boy, the troublemaker. I wonder why he became such a little prick. Hopefully Lean is not as troublesome as Louise later.”

“Ck, who donated the gene in him?” Eden thumped pout.

Aciel immediately grabbed his wife's waist to cuddle and kiss her cheeks in a fit of anxiety. Eden who is sulking is fun to be teased.

“Want to drink wine?”

“Hmm. Have you eaten?”

“Of course. The dishes are very good. You chose a catering menu that suits me perfectly.”

“Of course. Aren't you the most fussy about the food between us? If you like it, I don't think anyone else will have a problem with the food. By the way where is Sian and the others?”

“They are drinking wine. There's Olivia and Laila too.”

“Ahh... I guess Jessica did not join because she was still struggling to put Mark to sleep. The boy started showing rebellion to his mother.”

Eden laughed considering Jessica's irritation when forcing Mark to sleep. The woman had already pulled out her horns and issued various threats to Mark so that he immediately slept. Because if Mark hasn't slept, Jessica can't be free to roam around like everyone else.

“Tonight they all stayed here right?”

“Kurasa. Their children are already asleep, they will definitely not have the heart to wake him.”

“I've prepared a room for them. I hope they will like.”

“Definitely like,” said Aciel while peeping Eden's lips at a glance.

In the booth, which is the cleanest place among all the others in the park, Sian, Nathan, Laila, and others, and Olivia was sitting in a circle at a round table placed there with a wine glass in front of each of them. The two seats available next to Nathan and Sian were immediately filled by Eden and Aciel who had just emerged from inside the house while embracing affectionately.

“Look at our lovey-dovey couple today. Looks like they're the happiest among us.”

“Nobody is happier than Eden and Aciel. Geez, you guys make me jealous!” laila exclamation excited.

Eden who was tempted all out by his friends was only able to smile. The drowsiness that was running through her eyes made her unable to react more enthusiastically to avenge Laila and Nathan's temptation.

“Don't tease me guys, I'm so tired. Aren't you guys sleepy?” He yawned along with the last word he said to his friends. He didn't seem to last long at that table with a glass of wine.

“Yes my God Ed, it's a party! You shouldn't have slept all night at the party.”

“Yeah, it was me years ago, not me who is now with four kids.”

Aciel grimaced in response to Eden's words that sounded like mumbling because the woman was already too sleepy to speak.

“Here was very bad behavior. Just ask Sian, right?”

Sian whose arm was suddenly nudged by Aciel suddenly became dazed. Since then his mind was not there, he was thinking of something more urgent to do tomorrow. Divorce hearing.

“What?”

“You must be daydreaming too much. Look at your face, you look ugly with dark circles under your eyes.”

Sian did not respond to Aciel's taunts at all. His mood is not okay. But his relationship with Aciel has now improved. That's what we need to be grateful for right now. Although Aciel had cornered him in a quiet corner of his house when he had just come to the twins' party at half-seven, instead of three in the afternoon like the others. He then got a huge slur of questions from Aciel. The man accuses her of lying for giving Olivia a job excuse to be late for the party, but in reality she never gave her any job today.

Thas right. Aciel didn't give him any work at all. He deliberately wanted to arrive late and chose to stay silent in a quiet office because he knew all the employees went to Aciel's house to attend the twins' birthday party.

Earlier he got a call from his lawyer reminding that tomorrow at ten will be held a divorce hearing in court. I honestly don't need to be reminded of that day. It was like the day of death for him that he would always remember. And because of the phone call from his lawyer, he became agitated and not eager to go to the twins birthday party. She begins to question her own decision to divorce while recalling Eden's message to her a week ago.

Finally he spent the whole afternoon in the office doing nothing and just lying on the couch thinking. He might be able to save his life in the final seconds before the hammer from the judge is knocked on tomorrow morning.

“Already Ace, don't disturb Sian. Her mood is bad.”

“I'd better go up to my room. Good night everyone.”

The gazes of everyone could not be separated from Sian who began to move away from the booth where they had gathered. After that everyone's eyes turned to Olivia who now started to bow her face to the table.

“What's with Sian?”

Laila was the first to ask Olivia questions. Since then he has felt the strangeness of Sian but he did not have time to ask until now when everything has been seen more clearly.

“Maybe he's just tired. Job problems,” replied Olivia with a bland smile. He himself had not even spoken anything to Sian today other than their conversation on the phone. During the party, Sian was more silent or interacted with Justice who looked very enthusiastic about this party.

After Nathan left, there was no reason for Laila to linger at that table. He also had to go to bed soon because he had a job to do in the hospital tomorrow morning. So in the end at the table it left only Olivia, Aciel, and Eden who were actually very sleepy, but her husband still seemed to want to be at the table longer.

“Say what's up. Now everyone has gone.”

“Ace, don't be too hard on Olivia.” Eden reprimanded with a worried face. To make Olivia more relaxed, he deliberately rubbed his hand on the back of Olivia's hand that was lying just like that on the table.

“It's okay Ed. It's time I told you. Tomorrow morning we're getting a divorce. Her divorce trial will start at ten.”

“Fuck! Are you guys crazy?”

“Ace!” Eden immediately exclaimed in anger. He blatantly glared at Aciel for being too harsh on Olivia.

“Do not corner Olivia. They have their own reasons why they took that path. Besides it wasn't Olivia's fault, Sian did it.”

“So you already know? Since when? Why didn't you tell me?”

“Remember when I came to the office to hand over the invitation to Sian? That's when Sian told me about her divorce. And the reason I didn't tell you was because I knew you would definitely do an impulsive act that could harm many parties.”

“Impulsive action you say? For God's sake Ed, what do you think I'm gonna do?”

“You can do anything. That's what I'm afraid of. Like what you did when Olivia was kidnapped.”

“What are you doing?”

Olivia's voice immediately caused the tension between Eden and Aciel to evaporate. They forget that Olivia is still there and should not listen to what they are talking about.

“It was a rescue mission.” Eden said faster than his brain could realize. Suddenly his lips moved first to save the situation. He didn't want their problems to get any worse than this.

But it seems Olivia does not easily believe her words are too rushed and contain nervousness in it. He blatantly scoured Eden's face, searching for the lies Eden might have hidden there.

“What has happened during my kidnapping? Isn't Sian not really looking for me? He stopped his search for me, that's what Scout.” said

“It's true.” Aciel answered more calmly. Her self-control has returned intact, and now she is ready to string up another lie for Olivia.

“She's depressed. Stress is heavy because you disappeared from her life in a way she never expected. Then in that inner war he became very chaotic. He scolded his men and decided to stop the search because he thought it was useless. You keep hiding with Scout. You guys move around every time Sian manages to find you.”

“That's Olive. I scolded Aciel not to interfere. Sorry, that doesn't mean I don't care about you or don't love you. I just feel like it's Sian's responsibility and your personal problems. So it is appropriate that we do not interfere too much.”

Eden gave Aciel the code to be quiet. From this second on he'll take over for his lie to Olivia. He doubted the words of Aciel. It could be that the man was careless about his very devious plan to get rid of Scout.

“Thank you for worrying about me. I am so grateful to know you and have been a part of you. After we get divorced, maybe I won't be able to meet you guys like I used to.”

“Why can't it? You're still our family anytime. Don't think because of you

and when Sian gets divorced, your relationship with us ends. Not at all, Olive. I consider you my family. My sister's. I really hope you keep coming to this house often to gossip with me.”

Tears welled up in Olivia's eyes. The sincerity offered by Eden made her truly touched. He had never had a sister before. And Eden was the first woman since she left the orphanage to give her pure sincerity.

“Thanks a lot Ed. I have also branded you as my sister.”

“Well since it's late at night, we'd better get some rest. You'll need more power tomorrow morning.”

“You're right. I'm going to go to the room now. You..”

“Oh I'll catch up with Aciel. Before going to bed I want to make sure all the rest of this party is cleaned and handled properly.”

“Then good night.”

Eden immediately pinched Aciel's ribs hard after she confirmed that Olivia had actually entered her house and it was impossible to listen to Aciel's agonizing screams as the skin near her abdomen was pinched violently.

“You are almost making the situation even more complicated.”

“Why are you scolding me, Ed!” reply Aciel upset. His hand immediately rubbed the extremely painful marks of Eden and left a burning hot taste along his rib skin.

“Of course I scold you. What would happen if Olivia found out that you had an important role in Scout's death? You see, Olivia loves Scout. But on the other hand he also loves Sian.”

“That's greed. Anyway I still don't like the way he treats Sian.”

“I don't either. But now that Scout is dead, it's appropriate that it is only used as a bad memory in the past. He must learn to love Sian again and forget everything.”

“It's too late for that. Their marriage will not survive. You wanna go to bed? We better go to bed too. I'm afraid you'll get more fierce if left to babble continuously in a tired state.”

“What did you say? Aciel!” eden's screams growled at Aciel's silly behavior, who immediately ran away, leaving him inside the house to avoid his rampage.

“Ck, that guy's bottom. I will definitely give him a punishment!” eden muttered annoyed.
