Three dots popped up on the side of my phone screen. It danced around the message box for a long time before it stopped again. Still with no text.

What was she so afraid of? Saying yes to the divorce? Why was she hesitating?

I hated that I already knew the answers to my own questions. I was a Vilmorre. Of course, no one would willingly divorce me without demanding something in return. She must be thinking about all the conditions and settlement she could get from me.

    I was halfway through reviewing the Moscow reports when Grandmother walked into my study. She didn't knock. She never did. I looked up from my laptop. "You're up early." I mentioned. "We need to talk." She ignored the comment and walked straight toward me.I closed the laptop. "That doesn't sound good."She sat across from me. “Well, it doesn’t, cause I cannot bare looking at you look so lifeless since that employee left the country.” She sighed. “So, what are you going to do about it?” I asked with a wry smile."I want you to reconsider the marriage."I stared at her. "What marriage?""The arranged one. The very one that failed with a crazy coincidence. I told you I could never pick wrong for you. The girl you almost married wasn’t the girl I picked for you. But this one…”I leaned back slowly. "No.""You haven't even heard me out.""I don't need to.""You don't know who the woman is.""I don't care."Grandmother sighed. "She is a good woman.""So are thousands of women.""You shou

    I almost changed my mind three times before getting out of the car. There was absolutely no reason to meet this woman. I was not with her grandson, neither did I have plans to keep this going on for long.Grandmother had chosen a quiet restaurant away from the city center. It wasn’t overly crowded, and the private garden at the back gave us enough privacy to talk without being overheard. I spotted her immediately.The moment she saw me, she smiled. “Klaire.”I walked toward her.“Grandmother.”She stood and hugged me. I had only met her a few times, yet there was something incredibly warm about the way she held me. As though she had known me much longer than I knew her.She pulled away and studied my face. “You’ve been crying.”I looked away. “It’s been a difficult few days.”“I know.” We sat down. Then she poured me some tea as I looked around the garden. “How are you?” She asked.“I’m surviving.” I simply said. “And how are you too?”She smiled. “Well, I have not been doing great si

    I called Lance again, so many times that my fingers already knew the sequence. I held the phone to my ear.Just the familiar message. The number you have dialed is currently unavailable.I lowered the phone, simply stared at the screen and jeot trying.Nothing.I finally dropped the phone beside me. "He really doesn't want to talk to me."Maybe saying it aloud could make it real. “Lance was gone”. And it wasn’t just from the airport or apartment that he got for me. He had removed himself from my life.And perhaps...I couldn't blame him at all for it. I was at fault. I messed up. I truly did.I closed my eyes. The photographs appeared in my mind again. Our lips licked tightly against each other. I could still feel the heat from the kiss by just thinking about it.My hands around his neck. There was no explanation that could make those pictures look innocent.I wiped my face. "I ruined it." A bitter laugh escaped me. "Of course I did." It seemed like everything I touched eventually fell

    The mansion had never felt this quiet. Or maybe my head was the quiet one. I had nothing to think of again. And the silence was somehow worse than busy thoughts. Grandmother had gone to bed early. The servants had all retired. I sat alone in the study, pretending to read through the Moscow reports.But I hadn't read a single line in almost an hour. Every few minutes, my mind wandered back to the airport.Was she gone already? Had the plane taken off? Did the photo get to them? Did it perhaps break any trust?Nah. It had been hours since they left. No feedback from Hale. They were probably in Switzerland now.Maybe...that was for the best.Suddenly…The front door slammed. The loud sound echoed through the entire mansion. I frowned. A maid hurried toward the study."Mr. Aleksander…” Before she could finish…"I know where he is!" A familiar voice rang through the hallway.My heart skipped.No...It couldn't be. The rapid footsteps approached and the study door burst open.She stood there

    "This is it."I smiled as I looked through the large glass windows overlooking the runway.Switzerland.A new country. A new beginning.Maybe this was exactly what my life needed. Lance rolled our luggage toward the boarding area. "Excited?"I forced a smile. "I think so."He laughed. "I'll take that as a yes."We checked in our bags and made our way toward the departure gate. Everything felt strangely peaceful. Or so I thought until…Lance's phone vibrated. He glanced at the screen."No caller ID?" He frowned."Probably spam." I responded.He was about to ignore it before another notification appeared.This time… A picture. He looked over to me and raised his brows. “Not the right time” he chuckled. “I’m with my woman.”I chuckled too. “Just check it. It’s probably a friend…wishing you well.”“Urgh.” He hesitated at first, but ttapped it.Since his phone was a bit far from me, I couldn’t see what he was staring at, but I watched his smile disappear.His footsteps stopped."Lance?" I c

    Somehow, my mind could not settle. Maybe I should have gone to stop her from leaving. But for what reason? I laid lifeless in my bedroom.My phone vibrated. And it showed Hale Calling...I answered. "What is it?""Sir…Can we meet? Now."I frowned. "At the usual place?""Yes. There are some things I need to tell you."Twenty minutes later...I walked into the quiet restaurant. Hale was already waiting by the window. Two cups of coffee sat untouched. He looked unusually serious.I pulled out the chair opposite him. "You sounded like someone died."He gave a weak smile. "It isn't that. But...I think you'll be angry with me."I leaned back. "I've been angry all week. What more could worsen it? Go ahead."Finally, Hale sighed. "Angry all week? Why are you still torturing yourself?"I looked out the window. "What do you mean?"“We both know Klaire is the reason you’ve been angry.”"She's probably halfway to Switzerland by now." I smiled bitterly."And isn’t that enough for you to let her go

    His smile immediately faded as Mr Hale said those words and he retracted his hand from mine.His expression was rather confusing. Was he angry? Did he not have a good relationship with his grandmother?"Grandmother?" He repeated flatly, stepping forward and completely blocking view.Before Mr Hale

    “Mrs Claire Kingston, this way please,” the tall suited man called for me. I sucked in a deep breath, murmuring a quick prayer before walking in. After crying myself to sleep yesterday, Elise had offered to help me retrieve my important documents from my cloud. I don't know how she did it but th

    “So how did it go? Did you meet your new bride? Do you like her?” My grandmother’s eager eyes made my shoulders stiff. I moved to her bed and sat down with a small sigh. “How are you feeling today, Granny? Does your chest still hurt?” I asked her. Her eyes narrowed briefly at me. “I am fine, Lex

    “Let's get divorced.”The grocery bag dropped from my hand as my entire body froze. Oranges rolled across the apartment hallway while a carton of eggs burst open beside my feet, but I could only stare at the text glowing on my screen.My husband wanted a divorce.My husband.The man I had legally m
