Seek for Her

It was late into the night, but Roxanne remained wide awake.She buried her face in the pillow, her mind tangled with thoughts. Suddenly, an unruly hand slipped around her waist. Feeling the warm breath against her back, she instinctively shifted away, dodging the kiss that was about to land on her.Her resistance caught Andre by surprise. After all, in the three years since their marriage, it had always been Roxanne who eagerly sought his embrace.This rare moment of his own desire being met with rejection made it impossible for him not to ask, "Are you in a bad mood?""I'm on my period," Roxanne replied, making up an excuse on the spot.Andre did not think much of it. He responded with a quiet hum and gently tucked the blanket around her. As was his habit before bed, he mentally reviewed the day's events. Suddenly, he recalled the property transfer agreement from earlier and asked about it."Where's the property transfer agreement? Let me check if there are any loopholes."Rox

The night wind blew through the car window, sending strands of hair flying in every direction.Throughout the entire ride, Roxanne's mind replayed the image of Caitlin standing beside Andre again and again.Perhaps she had been hurt too many times because, at this point, she no longer felt pain. All that remained was an overwhelming sense of exhaustion.Why did the 30-day cooling-off period feel this long?She rubbed her stinging eyes. In a moment of carelessness, she failed to notice the car ahead reversing illegally and crashed straight into it. A loud bang echoed through the air. Her leg became trapped beneath the twisted frame of the car door, and blood flowed freely down her skin. In an instant, all color drained from her face, and cold sweat beaded on her forehead.Despite the stabbing pain, she stayed rational and called for emergency services.After she was rushed into the emergency room, the doctor conducted a full examination. The injury was not life-threatening, but

After returning home, Roxanne initially planned to speed up the moving process. However, her leg injury had not fully healed, and her movement was still limited, so she hired a moving company to come and assist on-site.Cardboard boxes of all sizes filled the living room. Several workers bustled around, packing and lifting items, moving in and out of the house with the door wide open.When Andre returned and saw the chaotic scene, he immediately asked what was going on. Roxanne calmly delivered the explanation she had prepared in advance."The Northwich apartment has been fully renovated. It's closer to where you work, so I thought we'd move there. It'll be more convenient."Thinking of the property transfer agreement he signed last time, Andre nodded.After changing his shoes, he walked over to the couch and sat down. As he mentally recalled the layout of the new apartment, he made small talk with Roxanne."I remember you like gardening. When the time comes, why not leave the ea

Throughout the entire ride, Roxanne remained silent. She did not say a single word.Andre could sense that her mood had been low lately, but he could not figure out why. Unable to ask directly, he went over everything that had happened recently in his mind.In the end, he came to the conclusion that he had been too preoccupied with Caitlin's case and had unintentionally neglected Roxanne. That had to be why she appeared so listless.A twinge of guilt surfaced in his heart. For once, he took the initiative and made a suggestion."Our third wedding anniversary is coming up. Let me take you on a trip to relax."With only a few days left until the cooling-off period ended, Roxanne did not want to complicate anything further. She declined, using her injury as an excuse.Andre thought about it and realized that a trip might indeed be inappropriate, so he began suggesting alternative ways to celebrate.One by one, he listed different ideas for her to choose from, but Roxanne found an e

"Both of us signed the divorce agreement a month ago. So starting today, we're both free. I'm leaving, so don't come looking for me. I wish you and Caitlin a happy ending, and I hope my own life ahead will be bold and unrestrained," Roxanne said.Every word struck like thunder, crashing in Andre's ears. He could not believe what he was hearing. His pupils widened to the extreme, and his lips began to tremble uncontrollably.What did she mean both of them signed the divorce agreement? They were already divorced? When had he signed anything?The camera in his hand slipped with a loud crash, knocking over the papers on the table, which landed against his leg. The bold title of the document, 'Divorce Agreement', burned into his vision.He snatched it up instantly and flipped to the final page. There, clear as day, was Roxanne's signature. Just a few inches to the left, in the section for the other party's signature, was another name.It was a signature he knew better than anyone becau
