Divorce: My Anniversary Surprise To The Heartless Man

Divorce: My Anniversary Surprise To The Heartless Man

In Dean Murray's eyes, Rachel Gray was a ruthless gold digger who would go to any lengths for money, even setting traps and faking a pregnancy to force a marriage. Therefore, Dean had never treated her well after they got married. Rachel endured this for a long time but finally decided to file for divorce on their third anniversary. "How much more do you want?" Dean said with a dark expression. "I don't have time to play these childish games with you." "Not a penny," Rachel replied calmly. She thought they would never intersect again, but not long after the divorce, Dean appeared before her once more. "If you regret it, I might consider giving you another chance." Rachel responded, "Thank you, but I'm good."

Chapter: Dean's Contempt
Third-Person's POV:Neither Rachel nor Cynthia anticipated encountering each other in this setting. After a brief moment of surprise, Cynthia sneered with disdain, "It's like a ghost that haunts me wherever I go."Rachel dried her hands on a paper towel and replied coolly, "If you're looking for a confrontation, just say so. No need to beat around the bush.""What did you say ...Cynthia realized she was no match for Rachel, especially with Jane at her side. Feeling outnumbered and outmatched, she struggled to maintain her composure.Jane retorted sharply, "Do you want me to get a megaphone and show everyone what a real homewrecker looks like?"Cynthia's response was laced with sarcasm. "Rachel, do you even have any shame left? Have you forgotten all the schemes you pulled to marry into the Murrays? And now you have the nerve to call me a homewrecker? Just because you've secured your position doesn't make you any better. Don't pretend to be a saint."Jane was about to fire back, but R

Chapter: Really Want To Get A Divorce
Dean's POV:A few days ago, my wife, who usually remained in the background, suddenly brought up the topic of divorce.I didn't take her seriously. She was clever-after all, she worked hard to get into the Murrays' social circle. It was hard to believe she would willingly give that up.I assumed it was just another tactic to draw my attention.Normally, when I left her alone at home for a few days, she would settle down. But this time, the divorce papers reappeared on my desk at the office. Her signature at the end seemed to mock me.I stared at the document, my expression growing colder by the moment.My assistant, Ted Woods, approached. "Mr. Murray, I've just confirmed with Starhaven Manor. Mrs. Murray moved out last night. She only took her personal belongings."I closed the divorce papers and set them aside. "She's leaving with nothing. What do you think, Ted? What new game is she playing now?"Ted didn't answer, lowering his gaze.Not expecting a useful response, I dismissed him.

Chapter: How Can You Be So Shameless?
Rachel's POV:Seeing that pregnancy test report felt like a harsh slap in the face, tearing down the illusions I had nurtured over the past three years.The stark reality of it all crashed down on me, as if saying, Rachel Gray, you think this woman is shameless and appalling? Remember, you used similar tactics to get Dean-using a baby to pressure him. Now someone's just doing the same to you.Jane was livid. "It's not the same at all! When you married Dean, he was single. But Cynthia knew you were married to him and still just barged in.She's nothing but a nasty homewrecker!""It doesn't really matter. In the end, it's all the same." I settled back on the couch, speaking slowly. "Honestly, for the past three years of marriage to Dean, I've barely slept a wink. He was coerced into marrying me, and now that we're getting a divorce, it's for the best. I owe him nothing."Jane spent another half hour furiously venting about Dean and Cynthia, her tirade eventually lulling me to sleep with

Chapter: The Reason For The Divorce
Rachel's POV:When I spoke those words, an eerie silence settled over the room.The man above me froze mid-action. "What did you just say?"Even though I knew he heard me perfectly, I repeated with resolve, "Let's get a divorce."Dean immediately pulled back, standing up with a cold, detached tone. "How much are you asking for?""Not a cent."I reached under the pillow and retrieved the divorce papers. "Take a look. If everything seems alright to you, just sign."Dean's expression darkened. "Rachel, you'd better know when to quit. I don't have time for your petty games.""I mentioned earlier that I had a surprise for you tonight. Well, here it is -perfect for a celebration, don't you think?"Dean fixed his gaze on me, his face a mask of unreadable thoughts.I met his gaze for a moment before breaking the silence with a smile. "Dean, I wish you a happy divorce."His lips tightened into a thin line. After a few moments, he asked, "Are you serious?"I nodded. "So, do you like your surpri

Rachel's POV:"Happy third anniversary! Come home early-I've planned a surprise I'm sure you'll love."After sending the text, I waited patiently, but there was no reply.I set my phone aside and returned to the kitchen. I lowered the heat on the stove and continued chopping vegetables, humming to myself as I worked.Despite the lack of response, my mood remained upbeat.The housekeeper observed and offered, "Mrs. Murray, let me assist you.""No, it's alright. You keep doing what you're doing. I want to make dinner for him myself tonight."The housekeeper commented, "Mrs. Murray, you and Mr. Murray really seem to be deeply in love."I forced a smile and said nothing.In love, Dean Murray and I?It felt more like a façade. I knew deep down he didn't love me.At 7 PM, Dean arrived home, and the housekeeper discreetly left.As I finished setting the table, I felt his warm breath on my neck. Before I could react, his rough lips pressed against mine.I was momentarily taken aback before I
