Clara stood frozen for only a few seconds before panic fully settled in.“What is wrong with him?!” she said as She snatched the divorce papers from her mother’s hand angrily, flipping through them again as if hoping the words would somehow change. But they didn’t. Every page remained the same, official and real.“He can’t divorce me over something this small!”Rose looked at her daughter carefully. “This didn’t start today, Clara.”Clara looked up sharply. “So you’re blaming me too now?”Rose sighed tiredly.“I’m asking what exactly you did to push him this far.”Clara scoffed immediately. “I didn’t do anything.”Rose gave her a look. “A married woman publicly embarrassing herself over another man isn’t ‘nothing.’”“That’s not what happened!”“But it’s what everyone saw.”Clara’s expression twisted with frustration. “Why is everyone acting like I committed a crime?”.“Because your marriage is falling

She paced furiously, her heels striking harshly against the floor.“Ava!” Her face twisted with hatred as she shouted. “Everything is because of that pathetic girl!”The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
