Chapter Two: Talking About Divorce

After cooking Anastasia felt so tired. So she decided to take some rest until Arthur returned.

Feeling a soft, wet touch, Anastasia moved in her sleep, then she felt a weight on her body. Someone was kissing her neck. She was too lazy to open her eyes so she tried to move that person when she felt him kissing her neck again.

Anastasia felt familiarity in his touch. She somehow understood who the person was.

"Hmmm," Anastasia roamed softly and opened her eyes into a drowsy blur, only to be met with the intense gaze of another pair of deep blue eyes, which mesmerized her every time she looked at them.

It was her husband Arthur. His clothes and hair were messy, yet still he looked handsome. Anastasia looked at the clock. It was past twelve.

"When did you return? Why didn't you wake me up? Get fresh up, I will heat up the food," Anastasia uttered in a sleepy tone and tried to move, but Arthur pinned her down and sealed their reunion with a kiss.

Anastasia's body tensed, and she started struggling, fearing that if they made out now, it could hurt their babies.

"Don't move” Arthur spoke up in a deep and seductive tone. And as always Anastasia found his compelling charm hard to resist

Recalling the doctor's words they could intimate Anastasia decided to follow her heart. She closed her eyes, allowing herself to melt into his warm embrace.

When she stopped struggling, Arthur's eyes darkened with desire as he looked at his beautiful wife.

Next Morning

Curled up under the covers, Anastasia opened her eyes. Recalling last night she blushed and gently caressed her belly. After a while, she breathed a sigh of relief.

Thankfully, she wasn't feeling pain in her belly. Anastasia looked at her side and found it empty. It was not new but still she felt sad in her heart.

Arthur had already woken up and washed up. He, dressed in an expensive black custom-made suit, was lounging in the main seat of the semicircle leather sofa while drumming his fingers on the armrest.

When his phone started ringing. Arthur picked up the call. "I understand. I will be there soon!"

After ending the call, Arthur's entire demeanor gave off a cold vibe, causing the temperature in the room to drop abruptly

"Did something happen? Why is he looking unhappy?" Anastasia got up and wrapped the blanket around her body with only her head exposed.

"Good morning, Honey," Anastasia spoke up softly, breaking the silence.

Arthur looked at her for a moment, then looked away. He calmly asked, "Good morning. Fresh up quickly. Let's have breakfast"

"Okay," Anastasia nodded and entered the washroom.

After getting fresh, Anastasia comes downstairs. When she entered the dining room, she saw Arthur sitting in a chair with a tablet in his hand. His fingers slid gracefully across the screen, exuding a hint of laziness and sensuality. Anastasia sat across from him. Soon the maid served breakfast and left the room.

Anastasia kept playing with her food. She didn't feel like eating. She looked at Arthur and saw him eating his food earnestly. She found it odd as she knew that to him, food is something he eats to survive. He never knew anyone could enjoy it.

He is a silent type of person, but she still loves him.

Anastasia put her hand on her belly and caressed it happily. After a while, she nervously spoke up, "I have something to tell you,"

Arthur put down the spoon and looked at her. "I also want to say something"

"Really! What is it? You can go first," Anastasia replied with a smile, as he rarely took the initiative, to talk to her about anything.

Is he opening up to her?

"I want divorce. The paper is ready. My lawyer will come to you this afternoon. You can demand any amount of money, even this mansion, as compensation. Still, if you don't like any of the terms, let me know, and I will fix it right away. I want you to sign the paper as soon as possible," Arthur spoke up casually, like it meant nothing to him.

Anastasia was shocked. She felt like it was a nightmare and she wanted to wake up. Anastasia pinched her leg to see if she was really dreaming.

"You are joking, right?" Anastasia's eyes teared up. She felt like she was falling from a cliff and only he could save her.

"My lawyer will contact you soon. I will give you everything you want in compensation" Arthur crashed her last hope.

"You want a divorce from me?" she whispered hoarsely, her tone tinged with disbelief. She secretly wrapped her hands around her belly.

"That's right. It is time" Arthur's tone was calm as before.

"Why?" Anastasia bites her lips to control her tears.

"There is no need for us to stay together now. I have already given you enough time to prepare yourself," Arthur answered with no emotion.

Anastasia froze and her mind immediately went blank."So, the news was true. He cheated on me with my cousin sister Ashley!"

Anastasia couldn't believe her husband hooked up with her sister. She felt disgusted. From the beginning, she knew that her husband's heart never belonged to her, but she never thought he would cheat on her with her sister Ashley.

"You knew I only married you to fulfill my Grandpa's last wish. But now that he is dead, I want to release you from this unhappy relationship. So, I decided to get a divorce. For serving me all these years, I will fairly compensate you. I hope you understand," Arthur said in a professional tone like he was discussing a deal with her.

Hearing his harsh business tone Anastasia's heart started to bleed. "Serving?! Was I a prostitute to him" Anastasia smiled sarcastically at her cruel fate.

"Understand! You want me to understand that you want to divorce me all of a sudden? Do you think I didn't see the news? For how long were you cheating on me, Mr. Arthur George ?" Anastasia shouted at him angrily.

Arthur's face twisted in anger and annoyance.

"Don't cross the line, Anastasia. I told you at the wedding night that I would divorce you when grandpa dies. I will tell you that night that they never desired anything from me except money. So, don't you dare to make a fuss about it." Arthur was a little shocked to see this side of Anastasia. She was always a polite and innocent type.

"When did she change?" Arthur wonder

Anastasia removed her hand from her belly and stood up."Yeah, that is also the truth. You were never happy with me, so I will set you free. Send your lawyer soon. Let's get divorce. I also want to get rid of you"

Saying this, Anastasia turned away and whispered with a heavy heart," Don't worry babies, Mommy will take care of you. Your mommy is enough for you. You don't need a cheater Dad"
