VIVIENNE

I kept my smile fixed as Luna pressed cookie cutters into the dough, her small tongue poking out in concentration.

"Look, Vivienne! A star!"

"Beautiful, sweetheart." My words came out sweet and warm, after all they've been practiced to perfection.

Inside, my it burned as though I could combust at any moment, anger clouding everything else.

It wasn't just the smile Luna had on her face, a smile that made her look so similar to Sera...no, this was also about him.

My fingers pressed into the counter's edge, knuckles pale. The rejection still stung—Darius jerking away like I'd burned him.

That look in his eyes, I knew exactly what it meant, I knew exactly what he was thinking of.

Even now, Sera still had her claws in him.

I was under the belief that their relationship was somewhat platonic, despite having a child together but now it seemed I was wrong.

That fucking thieving bitch!

I took a slow breath, forcing my shoulders to relax. Luna watched me with bright, trusting eye

  • I Want A Divorce   Chapter 111 - The Irony

    SERAThe cruise ship was massive and the sheer beauty of it stole my breath away. I stood at the boarding ramp staring up at the gleaming white hull that seemed to stretch endlessly in both directions, multiple decks stacked like layers of an elaborate cake. Luxury dripped from every visible detail—polished brass railings, expansive windows, crew members in crisp uniforms greeting guests with practiced smiles.Industry professionals and wealthy patrons moved past me up the ramp, their designer luggage being whisked away by attendants while they clutched champagne flutes already offered at check-in.I adjusted my black pants and a white blouse, and touched the badge clipped to my collar that read "AJ Assistant" in neat printed letters.The disguise amused me more than it should have. All these people looking for the mysterious AJ, and I'd be walking right past them as nobody.My cabin was on the crew deck, smaller than the guest suites but private and comfortable. I'd barely finished

  • I Want A Divorce   Chapter 110 - Something Didn't Add Up

    EDWARDI couldn't stop thinking about the park.Dinner that evening was different. Sophie actually ate—not just picked at her food while pushing it around her plate, but ate. She finished her chicken, most of her vegetables, even asked for seconds on the mashed potatoes.And she talked."The nice lady helped me with my shoes," she told Ms.Vera, her voice still quiet but more animated than I'd heard in months. "Miss Sera. She said her shoelaces used to betray her too.""That was very kind of her," Ms. Vera encouraged, her eyes meeting mine across the table with barely contained excitement."And Luna taught me how to play." Sophie's fork paused halfway to her mouth. "We fed the ducks and did cartwheels. I wasn't very good at cartwheels.""I'm sure you were wonderful," I said, my throat tight."Luna said we could play again." Sophie looked at me then, hope shining in her eyes in a way that made my chest ache. "Can we see them again, Daddy? Please?"I didn't know what to say. Didn't know

  • I Want A Divorce   Chapter 109 - One Week

    SERAOne week before the cruise, and Luna was back with Darius but before his custody period.The apartment felt too quiet without her. Too empty. I'd spent the morning staring at her drawings on the fridge, missing her already even though I'd see her in a few weeks.But the quiet meant I could practice without worrying about disturbing her sleep or cutting short our time together.I'd been at the piano for six hours straight, my fingers cramping, my back aching from hunching over the keys. The haunting piano solo was finally perfect—every note exactly where I wanted it, the emotion building and falling in waves that left me breathless.The violin composition had taken days to get right, but now it sang the way I'd heard it in my head. Mournful and beautiful and hopeful all at once.And the combined piece—piano and violin together—that one had nearly broken me. Switching between instruments, making sure they complemented each other instead of competing, finding the balance. But it was

  • I Want A Divorce   Chapter 108 - Commitments

    SERACentral Park was alive with afternoon activity—the weather somewhat chilly, a clear sign that winter was fast approaching and soon we wouldn't be able to enjoy the afternoon sun like this again. The chatter of families, screech of children made me feel somewhat relaxed. Finally out of the house after days of being cooped up, working my fingers and brain to the bone. Luna tugged on my hand, pulling me toward the pond where ducks glided across the water with lazy grace. "Can we feed them, Mommy? Please?""Of course, baby." I pulled the bag of breadcrumbs from my purse, the one I'd learned to always carry during our park visits.Luna tore into the bag with enthusiasm, tossing handfuls that made the ducks converge in a chaotic flutter of wings and quacking. Her giggles were pure joy. A movement caught my eye—a young girl and a middle aged woman who seemed like her nanny settling onto a bench nearby. The girl couldn't have been older than ten, with dark hair pulled into a neat pony

  • I Want A Divorce   Chapter 107 - It Should Feel Wrong

    DARIUSThe file sat open on my desk, pages spread across the polished mahogany surface like evidence of a crime I couldn't stop committing.Information about Sera. All of it gathered by investigators I'd hired months ago during the divorce proceedings when I'd been desperate to find something that would justify the anger burning through my chest.Instead, I'd found this.Her new career. The elegant apartment. Her contract with the Smith entertainment company. And buried deep in the surveillance reports, confirmation of what I already knew. Sera was AJ.Now the musician everyone in the industry couldn't stop talking about. The mysterious talent behind scores that had executives calling in favors. She'd created all of this. Built a career that had the Smith family prioritizing her above artists they'd been developing for years.And I'd known for months.I'd hired investigators to dig into her relationship with Johnson, to find proof of the affair. Instead, they'd uncovered her secret

  • I Want A Divorce   Chapter 106 - She Made Her Choice

    EDWARDI cannot remember the last time I took a break. Sure, there were days off. But since my wife passed, I was either juggling the family business, or caring for my daughter. I wish I didn't feel this way but unfortunately, I was drained. I watched with heavy eyes, the breakfast table where Sophie, my ten-year-old daughter, sat pushing scrambled eggs around her plate with a fork.She hadn't taken a single bite.I watched her from across the table, coffee growing cold in my hand, trying to find the right words that might coax her into eating something. Anything."Sophie, sweetheart," I started gently, setting down my cup. "You need to eat. At least a few bites."Her eyes stayed fixed on her plate, her small shoulders hunched forward like she was trying to make herself smaller. "Not hungry."The words were barely audible, spoken in that flat monotone she'd adopted over the past three years. Since Caroline died.Since her mother had been taken from us in a car accident that still f
