Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 210: The Simple Act of Choosing
Tonight was not for pressure. Tonight was for presence. For celebrating what already existed rather than grasping for what might come next, for letting the moment be enough without demanding it become something more.Petra's eyes shone as emotion crept up on her, uninvited and overwhelming. She felt it rise in her chest, warm and insistent, pushing past the defenses she'd carefully constructed over years of protecting herself, defenses that had served her well but had also, at times, kept her from moments exactly like this one.She took a step forward, then another, until she was close enough to feel his warmth radiating toward her, to catch the familiar scent of his cologne mixed with something distinctly him, something that had become, over these past months, as recognizable to her as her own heartbeat.Without thinking too much about it, she shifted into his arms, hugging him tightly, as though grounding herself in the reality of him, in the solid, unmistakable presence of a man
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 209: Us
Petra stood rooted just inside the doorway, her hand still resting on the door handle as her eyes took in the scene before her, the warmth of the room reaching her before her mind had fully caught up with what she was seeing.The dining area glowed softly, not with excess brightness, but with intention, every detail arranged as though someone had thought carefully about how the light itself should fall across the room.The table had been carefully set. China plates aligned carefully, cutlery gleaming under the warm light, wine glasses catching reflections from the chandelier above. Fresh flowers sat in simple vases, their scent faint but calming, drifting toward her in soft, unhurried waves.At the centre of the table, arranged with deliberate care, were the words "I Love You," written boldly and unapologetically, spelled out in a way that left no room for misinterpretation, no room for the careful hedging that usually came with difficult conversations.For a moment, she thought she
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 208: The Question She Couldn't Escape
"On whether you still love him," Malcolm said quietly.The question hung there, unembellished, suspended in the warm afternoon air like something too fragile to touch without consequence.Petra didn't answer. She didn't look away either. Something flickered across her face — too brief to name, too honest to hide, gone almost as quickly as it appeared but not quickly enough to escape the notice of the two men watching her closely. It was enough.Dr. Ken exhaled slowly, the sound carrying a weight that suggested he had been holding it in for longer than the conversation itself had lasted. "Petra," he said, softening his tone, his voice taking on the careful gentleness of someone approaching an old wound rather than a new one. "We're your family. It's our responsibility to make sure you're okay. That you're making choices that don't reopen wounds you fought so hard to close."She straightened immediately, her spine going rigid against the back of the chair. "No," she said, the word sha
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 207: The Question at the Table
The executive lounge sat slightly elevated above the rest of the hotel grounds, open to the afternoon breeze and framed by glass railings that reflected the soft city's sun.The light caught against the polished surfaces in a way that made the whole space feel suspended somewhere between business and leisure, neither fully one nor the other.Petra sat across from Dr. Ken Livingstone and Malcolm at a low table set neatly with documents, tablets, and untouched drinks, the condensation on the glasses slowly gathering into small pools that no one seemed inclined to notice. The setting was relaxed by design, but the conversation was anything but casual, the underlying formality of it evident in the careful way each of them chose their words.Dr. Ken leaned back in his chair, fingers steepled as Petra finished walking them through the latest project update, his attention fixed and unwavering despite the loose posture he had settled into, the kind of stillness that came from someone who had
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 206: Where They Wouldn't Say
Oscar studied her for a moment, his gaze sharp but restrained, watching the small tensions still visible in the set of her shoulders.He nodded slowly, choosing not to press, even though something in her tone unsettled him, something he couldn't quite name but recognized as unfinished, the kind of half-truth that lived just beneath the surface of an otherwise ordinary sentence."Alright," he said quietly. "I'll be in the kitchen."She waited until his footsteps faded before exhaling fully, the breath leaving her chest in a long, unsteady rush, as though she had been holding it since the phone first rang that morning, since the stranger's voice had first delivered news she still hadn't fully absorbed.She sat there a moment longer, staring at the closed door, gathering herself the way she had learned to do so many times before, piecing her composure back together one careful breath at a time until it could bear the weight of the day ahead.By late morning, Petra was already on the road
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 205: The Call
Petra woke up with a sharp intake of breath.It came without warning, like her body had sensed something before her mind caught up, some quiet alarm firing beneath conscious thought before she could even open her eyes fully.Morning light filtered through the curtains, pale and uncommitted, casting soft lines across the ceiling, the room still holding onto the last traces of night even as the world outside had already begun to stir.For a few seconds, she lay still, listening to the quiet hum of the house, trying to anchor herself in the ordinary, in the familiar rhythm of a morning that had not yet declared what kind of day it intended to be.Her phone vibrated on the bedside table, the sound sharp and insistent against the quiet.She reached for it without thinking, her fingers still slow with sleep, unaware yet of how quickly that stillness was about to end.The voice on the other end was unfamiliar, professional, carefully neutral, the kind of voice trained to deliver difficult in
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 14: An Unworthy Mother?
Elizabeth had marched halfway into the grand hall in a storm of fury, but the moment she reached the center and noticed the cluster of reporters standing only a few steps away, she halted so abruptly that Kevin almost bumped into her from behind.The microphones stretched toward her like thin black
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 5: The Long-Lost Heiress
Pete collected the file from Petra’s outstretched hand, his fingers tightening around the edges as his eyes dropped to the bold letters printed across the first page.The words DIVORCE AGREEMENT seemed to hit him harder than anything Petra had said that morning.For a brief moment he just stared at
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 4: "Let's Get a Divorce"
“There, there,” Petra murmured softly, her voice warm and calm. “Mommy is here.”The baby made a small sound and kicked his tiny legs against the blanket.Petra lay on the hospital bed, her back slightly propped up with pillows.Her face still looked pale, but there was a soft smile resting on her
Divorce the Cheat, Return for Revenge Chapter 3: Breaking Point
“It’s… it’s alright.”Zoe’s reaction changed so quickly it almost looked rehearsed. Just seconds ago she had flinched at the glass shattering near Pete’s feet, but now her face softened into something that looked like concern.She stepped closer to Pete, her fingers reaching for his hand as though
