Split Every Bill to Help the Intern Chapter 8
This quarter was typically Miles's busiest time of the year.Facing my surprise at seeing him abroad, Miles flipped the question back on me. "You vanished without a word and raised hell about getting a divorce. Did you expect me to just act as if nothing happened?"I quickly composed myself and spoke seriously. "I've made my position completely clear. We have nothing left to talk about."His tone softened as he swallowed his pride. "We've been together for five years. How can you just throw that away? We built a life together."We can't throw in the towel over something like this. Marriage isn't a game. Tell me what you want from me. Whatever it is, I'll make it happen."His eyes were full of desperate hope, as if he were dead certain I would give him an out and reconcile. But the wounds he had inflicted on me time and time again were far too deep to heal."Let's stop wasting each other's time, Miles," I said flatly.Something finally seemed to click, and his expression softened

Settling into my new surroundings abroad, I quickly adapted to the fast-paced routine.Before long, the painful memories and the people attached to them began to fade into the background.During my lunch break, my attorney back home called."Mr. Thornton refuses to believe you want a divorce. He's stonewalling every conversation about the settlement. On top of that, he's called me multiple times trying to track down your whereabouts."I was taken aback. Given how devoted Miles was to Susan, logic dictated he would jump at the chance to end our marriage.But I had no desire to parse his motives. I decided to call him directly and settle it once and for all. The moment the call went through, Miles's voice exploded through the receiver, frantic and raw."Daisy? Where are you? Why did you vanish without a word and ignore my calls? Do you have any idea that I've abandoned the business entirely just to look for you? How much longer are you going to keep throwing this fit?"I didn't bo

"What did you say?" Miles couldn't believe his ears."She submitted her resignation herself," Brenda explained. "I suppose she just couldn't handle everything with her mother passing. I don't know the exact details beyond that."Miles frowned, recalling the past events of me resigning, moving out, and serving him with a divorce agreement."What on earth is she trying to do?" he muttered."Mr. Thornton..." Susan suddenly interrupted his thoughts, her voice frantic. "What are we going to do about all this bad press? People are dragging the Thornton Group through the mud. Some of the comments are horrific."Miles grew increasingly irritable. "Hand it over to PR and let them handle it. Daisy's mother was the victim. Since when did she become an insurance scammer? It's nonsense!"Turning to his assistant, he barked, "Get the attorney handling the lawsuit on the phone. I want to know what Daisy's been so busy with these past few days. How on earth could she lose an open-and-shut case l

Miles tensed up. "What document?"The attorney pulled the file from his briefcase and unsealed it. "Divorce agreement. You may review it. Ms. Dudley has already signed."The word "divorce" hit Miles like a physical blow, sending his stomach into a freefall. He rapidly flipped to the last page, where my familiar signature was indeed there.He froze, then let out a sharp snort. "Divorce? How much did she pay you to put on this stunt? Where is she?"The attorney remained stoic. "I am not at liberty to disclose my client's personal details. Ms. Dudley is resolute. She instructed me to ensure you sign this agreement and terminate the marriage."Miles glanced at the attorney's badge and recognized him as one of the attorneys he had recommended to me. The absurdity of the situation hit him like a wave."She really has learned how to push my buttons," he muttered under his breath, shoving the folder back with a stern look. "You can tell her that I don't respond well to threats, and I cer

My vision went dark, and I nearly collapsed right on the sidewalk. By the time I stumbled into the cemetery, I froze in shock.Susan was swinging a paintbrush, slathering the massive word 'demolish' across my mother's headstone in dripping red paint. Miles stood right beside her, watching silently.I rushed forward like a madwoman and yanked the brush out of her hand."What do you think you're doing?"Susan put on an innocent face and held up a corporate title deed."Mrs. Thornton, this cemetery is a real estate investment project under Thornton Group. It can only be used with Mr. Thornton's explicit permission. If you wanted to lease a plot here, you needed to cover half the capital investment costs. You can't just take it."Blood rushed to my head as I whipped out my bank transfer records. "I paid for this plot!"Susan leaned in for a look, then scoffed, "Looks like you got scammed. That seller didn't have the legal right to sell you a blade of grass on this land. I know money

I spent three grueling days in court while Miles spent his time with Susan on a supposed business trip.Though labeled as work, Susan's social media feed was buzzing. Miles accompanied her to tourist hotspots, posed for photos wearing ridiculous headbands in crowded streets, and even shared food off the same plate despite his severe germophobia.During our honeymoon years ago, he had reminded me of almost everything."Remember to send me your half for that."My mother's case made progress, with the attorney assuring me we had a strong chance of winning at the final hearing. As I stepped out of the courthouse, my phone vibrated as the company group chat blew up.[Juicy news! The assistant said the hotel had a power outage, so Mr. Thornton and Susan ended up sharing a room!]Susan replied with a blushing emoji: [I'm afraid of the dark, so Mr. Thornton just came over to keep me company. Don't spread false rumors!]Yet attached was a photo of Miles sitting beside her bed, working in
