Jane's POV.Leaving the apartment, I took a taxi, but I wasn't going back to the court or to Ethan's home. The taxi pulled up at the familiar gates, and I stepped out. Sucking in a deep breath, I pressed on the bell. The gate opened and the security stepped out. Seeing me, he gave a slight bow, "ma'am."He stepped aside, giving me room to enter. Everything is just as it is, nothing has changed. Well it shouldn't. It's just last night I didn't spend here so it's still too quick for things to change.As I walked in, the staff gave their respect. "I'm going to need your help, please, come with me," I said to the staff in the living room.Without any words, they followed me upstairs to the bedroom. I opened the door to the bedroom, and I paused. My feet were hesitant to take any step further. Memories flooded into my head— lonely nights, a wife seeking her husband's attention, our chaotic last moments together. I brushed them all aside and walked in, the staff following closely beh

Adrian's POV. I looked at the house, sucking in a deep breath. This used to be mine, but now it's going to become someone else's. I glanced at my wristwatch — 04:35pm. I had an appointment with someone. Reaching into my pocket, I pulled out my phone, and dialed a number. After two rings, an old raspy voice rang out. "Hello, sir," "Is it ready?" I asked. "Yes, sir. It's ready," the voice answered. "I'll be there soon," I said. "Yes, sir, I'll be waiting." the voice replied and I hung up. I slid my phone back into my pocket. Taking a final look at the house, I turned to my car. I'd have to give it up soon too. It's under the Blackwood name. "Adrian!" I heard a familiar voice... Lydia's voice, I turned and found her running towards me. Reaching me, she engulfed me in a hug. "Oh, my God," she breathed. "Lydia..." I tried to break free but she hugged me tighter. "Let's just stay like this," she pleaded, her voice soft. I stayed still, and to be honest this what I re

"How amusing."If only they knew. If only they had lived even a single day in my shoes.The taxi turned into a quieter street, lined with neat buildings and trimmed hedges. It wa

Adrian's POV.My phone rang, and I took it out from my pocket. "Listening," I answered the call. "I can't see you, sir," Lena's voice rang from the other end of the line. I looked around the park, and I saw her standing just a few meters away, looking around like she lost something. "Look to your right," I instructed, and she did. "Oh, I see you now," she responded, hanging up.She walked over to me, and within three minutes she was standing in front of me. "Hello, sir," she gave me a slight bow. "Did you bring it?" I asked. She reached into her bag, and fetched out a file, handing it over to me. Receiving the file, it felt heavier in my hands than it should. I opened the file revealing the signed documents of I and Jane's divorce. I had kept it locked in a drawer in my office, hidden from Jane's reach so she wouldn't cause any troubles.

"I'm fine, Ethan," I assured him. "I swear it." "I hope so," he replied. I took out my phone from my bag, and went on the internet for one purpose but I got distracted by another.

Adrian's POV.I buried myself in work, trying to drone myself out from everything but the memories wouldn't cease. They clawed at my mind like ghosts demanding justice.
