Chapter 5 - A New Status
Chapter 5 - A New Status
The day that Leon was waiting for had finally arrived. He looked very excited to face this day because today was the day of his divorce from Marianne.
He also had contacted Steffi since last night to ask her to go to court together. He was also happy because in this divorce Marianne did not receive anything from him. ??
Because in this case, Marianne was the one who wanted to divorce him, so, in the eyes of the law, he was not obliged to give the marine any alimony.
Using his luxury car, Leon finally arrived at the court with Steffi. The two of them headed straight to the courtroom. When he arrived at the courtroom, Leon did not remove his sunglasses. He reasoned that his eyes were hurting to the judge, who asked him to remove it. In actuality, he just didn't want to see Marianne sitting next to him.
He felt uncomfortable and disgusted, seeing the woman he was about to divorce. 𝒇𝗿𝙚ℯ𝑤ℯ𝑏𝒏𝑜ѵe𝙡.c𝐨m
"After considering the plaintiff's request to divorce the defendant, Leonardo Ganke, the court finally decided that Miss Marianne's request is granted. After today, the relationship between them was no longer bound as husband and wife ..."
KNOCK KNOCK
Marianne closed her eyes when she heard the judge's decision. She was holding back her tears from streaming down her face. She tried to be strong in front of her ex-husband and her ex-friend, who were holding hands happily when they heard the judge's decision.
Shortly thereafter, a woman arrived with a file that Marianne and Leon had to sign.
"Ok, after this, you are no longer husband and wife. This is a divorce certificate that each of you can have and can be used in the future if one of you wants to remarry," said the court staff quietly while handing over the divorce certificate to Leon and Marianne.
Mariane took the paper and put it in her worn-out bag. She then walked towards the exit on the left, leaving Leon and Steffi, who looked so happy with their legal team, since they didn't spend any money on the divorce.
"Finally, the day that I really dreaded is over," Marianne muttered to herself as she walked out of the courtroom.
"Heh, Ugly! Wait," Leon shouted loudly, calling Marianne.
"Leon," Marianne hissed softly. She then stopped in her track and turned around.
In front of her, Leon was walking with his sweet smile on his handsome face. He walked while holding the divorce certificate, which he rolled in his right hand.
"Because I'm feeling so good today, I want to give something to you, Ugly," said Leon with a sarcastic smile.
"I don't need anything from you, Leon. The court has decided that you don't need to give me a dime in compensation for this divorce," Marianne said, trying to look strong.
When he heard Marianne's words, Leon laughed out loud. He couldn't believe that his ugly ex-wife could say that to him. All this time, he knew that his ex-wife didn't say much, even when he openly showed off his affair with Steffi, his ugly wife could only be silent.
"Don't be too arrogant, ugly woman. You have to know that you don't get anything. Because I'm kind and happy at heart, I intend to give a little something to you so you can eat for the next month," Leon said arrogantly, throwing a stack of 100 USD bills at Marianne's face. The money hit the glasses Mariane was wearing so it fell to the floor, together with the money thrown at her by Leon.
"Take the money, I'll be happy to give it to you. Think of it as my appreciation because you are willing to divorce me voluntarily so that I don't have to pay you money," Leon added while embracing Steffi on the waist.
"Never mind, Leon. Let's leave this place. I'm sick of seeing this ugly human. I feel like throwing up around her," said Steffi softly while tracing Leon's chest. She purposely showed her affection to Leon in front of Marianne.
"Okay, Princess. Let's go from here. I'm also very uncomfortable around this ugly human. I hope this is my last meeting with her," Leon said loudly with a big laugh. After saying that, Leon then took Steffi away, followed by his lawyer. They left Marianne still standing silently before the court.
After Leon and Steffi left, Marianne crouched down and grabbed her glasses, which had cracked on the floor. She also took the money that Leon had thrown earlier.
"I was wrong to fall in love with you, Leon. I thought my patience and my effort to win your heart would change your feelings for me... But now I realized they're all futile. From now on, my heart is closed for you. If we meet again in the future, I hope I have forgiven you and no longer hate you like I do now."
She continued, "I sincerely wish you happiness with Steffi. Thank you for being a valuable lesson for me. Lessons that I will remember for a lifetime, that only women with physical beauty and perfect bodies are entitled to happiness. Thank you for the lesson Leon..."
Marriane stared at the road where Leon had gone. She finally left the court. She stopped the taxi in front of the court to go to the hotel where she had been staying for the last few days.
Tonight, she planned to leave Germany to go to her new residence which she had prepared for a few days. With the money given by Catherine Ganke, she was ready to start a new life.
