"The sun won't shine here, it never did" ~ Bring Me The Horizon

Octavius's POV

I sighed while taking a seat in front of the devil herself, Cresil, my ex-wife. She called me up and told me she wanted to talk, but I knew her better than that. She just wanted to talk about how much money she can get after the divorce was settled.

Her eyes lit up when she saw me. "Tavius, I'm so glad you could make it, I thought you weren't coming." She said while pulling me into a hug. I pushed her harshly away from me. I used to love this woman, but now I don't feel anything for her.

"It's Octavius to you and I was about to stand you up like all the times you stood me up," I said in a cold voice.

She cleared her throat, hurt quickly flashed through her eyes, but she quickly covered it with amusement. "I called you here to discuss the divorce. " She said while playing with her fingers. "What about it?" I asked while staring out the window.

"I don't want to go through with it, I still love you and I've stopped sleeping around, " Cresil said while looking at me from under her lashes. Does she think I'm stupid or something because I know that she hasn't stopped sleeping around but I needed more confirmation other than what the Private Investigator gave me.

A woman walked over to us, which I assumed to be the waitress. She smiled at us and I was amazed by the beauty that one smile held. I've never seen someone with so much poise. "Welcome to The Cartel, I'm Procel and I'll be your waitress for tonight." She said with a sweet smile on her face.

Cresil looked at the woman with distaste. "Well, we were in the middle of a conversation, so come back later. " Cresil said while waving a dismissive hand at the beautiful woman. Procel looked at Cresil with amusement. Procel was about to turn around but Cresil grabbed her wrist.

Procel stiffened and the words that passed her lips were all the confirmation I needed. "She's cheating with a man named Chad and she just left him before she came here," Procel said in a trance-like state. Cresil snatched her hand away as if she burnt her.

"You stupid little b***h!" Cresil screamed. Procel seemed to snap out of her trance-like state. Procel turned to face us but she saw me stand up. "How?" I asked while taking a step forward, she bolted and I ran after her.

I cornered her in an ally. "How did you know that?" I asked in a low voice. She shook her head refusing to answer me. I was about to grab her but a males voice stopped me. "Leave her alone. Come here Procel. " I turned slowly to see a tall male with black hair and blue eyes, but now that I think about it, they look alike except for the eye color, Procel has deep violet eyes

She slowly started to walk towards the man, so I decided to make myself known. "I'll see you around piccolo," I said with a smile forming on my face. There was just something about her that I couldn't put my finger on.

She was different but in a good way. With that, I made my way to my car and drove home, leaving a fuming Cresil alone.
