Face Slapping

Sebastian and I were married in secret for six years, and he slept in a separate room the whole time. I tried to enter his room once, but he turned me away at the door. "No. It would upset Cara. "If it weren't for you, she and I would never have been separated. Don't ask too much of me." Cara Lindell is the woman he's wanted for years. I stood there awkwardly. After a long moment, I sighed. "All right." The marriage had been arranged in the first place to pull my family out of a financial crisis and repair the reputation of his family's company. Everybody got what they came for. Whenever he went out, he took Cara with him. Whenever people speculated about their relationship, he only smiled and said nothing. Then, at this year's family dinner, he stepped in front of the cameras, holding her hand. The room went still, and someone asked hesitantly, "Is Mr. Grant making it official?" Sebastian looked at Cara and didn't deny it. I stood alone outside the door and shut it quietly. Now that everything is settled, it's time for me to leave.

Chapter 1
I had my lawyer draw up the divorce papers.The assets would be divided according to the prenup. I wouldn't take a cent more.The Grant Group has made it through its crisis, and my father's cash flow has been restored.The marriage had fulfilled its purpose long ago.I signed my name on the last page.Vivian Ashford.At that moment, I felt much lighter.I picked up my phone and messaged Sebastian."Can you come home early tonight? There's something I need to tell you."It was a long time before he answered."Fine."He wouldn't spare another word.I set the hurt aside and started packing.Our house is large, and I've put a part of myself into every corner.I chose the grayish-white shade he liked for the walls.Sebastian doesn't like overly soft sofas, so I chose a firmer one for him.He's allergic to pollen, but he still wanted the place to feel alive.So I filled the balcony with greenery.I put a great deal of effort into his bedroom, too.He travels most of the year, and his back is

Chapter 2
It took me all night to pack my things.The house that had felt lived-in was half-empty by the time I finished.Six years of marriage, and a few hours to erase myself from the place.I don't hate Sebastian as much as you'd expect.The marriage was a mistake from the first day.Back then, both the Grant and Ashford families were in trouble.The Ashford company's cash flow had dried up, and it needed capital from the Grant family.And the Grant family was caught in a business scandal and could only repair its reputation with the Ashford name.The elders of both families immediately agreed that we should marry.Nobody asked whether I wanted it.And nobody asked him either.He didn't dare defy his family, so he took all his anger and resentment out on me.On our wedding night, he didn't touch me once.In the middle of the night, he stood at the window and looked at me without a trace of warmth in his eyes."Vivian, are you satisfied?"I didn't understand. My fingers tightened around the fa

And he wasn't alone. Cara was with him.She saw me standing in the doorway, paused for a second, then smiled."Vivian, that's a lot of luggage. Are you going on a trip?"Sebastian's brows drew together."Cara wasn't feeling well last night. Taking care of her took longer than I expected."What did you want to tell me?"I looked at their clasped hands and smiled."Nothing much. I wanted to talk to you about our divorce."Panic flashed in his eyes, and his expression darkened."Vivian, what game are you playing?"I'm not divorcing you."I... our marriage was arranged by both families. They won't agree to a divorce either."Before I could answer, Cara laughed softly. "Sebastian, don't be angry."She's probably just doing this to get you to treat her better."He let out a breath."So that's what this is about."Vivian, I don't like it when you act like this."I told you a long time ago. Don't think you can take Cara's place."I nearly laughed out loud.Six years of marriage, and I couldn't

Once Cara moved into the main bedroom, Sebastian barely left her side.I said nothing more and moved my things to a friend's place.Neither of them seemed to believe I would actually go.One evening, I was heading out.She looked at the suitcase in my hand and gave me a cold little smile."Packing again, Vivian?"Don't think this will get Sebastian's attention."I looked up at her."I'm not trying to get his attention.""That's a lie!"Her voice rose sharply, and her eyes burned with jealousy and hatred."What you're doing is so cheap that it's embarrassing."First you ask for a divorce, then you start packing. It's all just to hold on to him, isn't it?"Too bad. I'm the only one in his heart."I looked at her steadily."You're reading too much into this. I've never wanted to fight with you over him."That caught her off guard.She hadn't expected such a direct answer.A moment later, she laughed at me."Do you think he won't sign because he can't let you go?"Don't flatter yourself.

[Vivian's POV]After I left the Grant house, I went abroad.Joyce Reed, a friend from university, met me at the airport the day I landed.She looked at the bandages on my hands but didn't ask about them.She just took my bags.As I walked out of the airport, everything inside me felt lighter."Vivian, what are you going to do now?" Joyce asked.I looked out at the unfamiliar city and didn't answer for a long time."First, I need to find myself again."After college, I devoted nearly all my time to Sebastian.I'd done it for so long that I'd forgotten what I even liked.Joyce didn't push. She took me back to her apartment.I spent that time recovering and looking for work.It didn't go well at first.My education and abilities were never the problem.

We looked at each other from across the room.To my surprise, it didn't hurt the way I'd expected.It only felt absurd.He had finally found me.Just when I no longer needed him.He looked at me for a long time before asking quietly, "Vivian, are you all right?"I finished putting my things away and looked at him calmly."I'm doing very well."The color went out of his face."You've lost weight."Is the food here not agreeing with you?"I smiled."Living here is a huge improvement over living in your house."His fingers suddenly tightened."Vivian, I didn't come to argue with you."I came to take you home."I looked at him and shook my head.I have my own life now.I'm no longer the Vivian who stood outside his door, waiting for him to turn around."Sebastian, there's no going back for us."What we had was a mistake from the start. We're better off apart."I get to live the life I want. You get to be with Cara."Panic flickered in his eyes."Cara and I have settled things between us, a

Sebastian didn't come after me.I thought he'd finally decided to let me go.But first thing the next morning, a large bouquet of white roses arrived.I took one look at them and asked the front desk to send them back.Joyce stood beside me with her arms folded and raised an eyebrow."Is Sebastian planning to win you back?"I kept my head down, focused on the project files."His plans are his business."I'm not playing along anymore."He clearly had no intention of stopping.He showed up near the office each day for the next few days.I never once looked back.Then, on the fifth day, Cara came.She looked exhausted, a suitcase in hand.The front desk called me while she was downstairs causing a scene."I want to see Vivian!"If it weren't for her, Sebastian never would've left me back home alone."He can't do this to me!"When I came out, Sebastian immediately stepped in front of me."What are you doing here?"Her voice trembled as she asked, "Sebastian, you chased her all the way abro

In the end, Sebastian went home.Before his flight, he waited a long time for me at the airport.I didn't go.Joyce asked me, "You really won't see him one last time?"I shook my head."There's no need."Everything that needed to be said had been said six years ago.After he went home, he didn't come back into my life.Every so often, my lawyer would contact me to say Sebastian still hadn't signed the divorce papers.I had them sent again.This time, he signed them.The day the divorce was finalized, an envelope arrived.The divorce decree lay inside like the quiet ending to a story.I looked at it a long time and felt nothing but calm.I realized that truly letting someone go meant seeing his name and feeling nothing stir inside me.Later, I heard that Sebastian wasn't doing well.He never contacted Cara again.She tried to get him back.She waited outside the Grant Group building and tearfully told the press about all their years together.He never turned around.Eventually, Cara lef
