The Divorce Game Chapter 19: Too Many Secrets
CAMILLA I stared at my phone, waiting for a reply from the anonymous number. I couldn't sleep all night, my heart pounding against my ribs every time I looked at the screen. They had told me my parents' death wasn't an accident. I texted back immediately, asking who they were, how they knew, and if they could give me a clue—but the message sat on Read without a response. The silence only made my anxiety worse. “Camilla, look at what Desmond just sent! Gosh, he is such a real cheat,” Zoe said, handing her phone over to me. She had been sitting on my bed for thirty minutes, flirting with Desmond through a fake account and cursing him under her breath. I reluctantly took the phone and read through their chat. He was taking the bait, but a few flirting texts weren't my main concern right now. Two massive burdens weighed heavily on me: my parents' death ten years ago, and whatever secret Lyra was hiding. A part of me wanted to connect the two, but the timeline didn't fit. Back the
The Divorce Game Chapter 18: My Mission
CAMILLA I rubbed my forehead in complete exhaustion. Everything was becoming so unpredictable. Why on earth was Lyra in my house? And to make matters worse, she wanted to spend the entire weekend here. While it wasn't the first time she had stayed over, it was the first time she had done so since her marriage.“Camilla, what is going on here? Why is this lady in your house? You never let random people stay with you,” Lyra snapped.She wasn't wrong. I used to consider her and Desmond my only family, but now I realized I didn't actually have one. The only real family I had was taken from me ten years ago, and I lost whatever was left on that terrible night of their affairs.“Seriously?” Zoe chuckled, shaking her head in bitter amusement. “If I remember correctly, Lyra, you have a billionaire for a husband. You could spend your weekend at any one of his private estates or luxury hotels. Why are you here?”The entire chaotic scene had left Desmond speechless for a moment. He had eventua

CAMILLA “How could you say that to my mother, Camilla? You want her to go back? How could you? "Desmond snapped. Last night, Nana had gone to sleep early and woken up at dawn to prepare breakfast. I had noticed she looked worn out and asked her what was wrong. She explained that she wasn't used to staying cooped up in one place and wanted to return home where she could tend to her farmland. When I suggested visiting a hospital, she refused, insisting all she needed was her usual routine. What else could I do except let her have her way? Besides, it worked entirely in my favor. I had been racking my brain trying to figure out how to ask her to leave so I could deal with Desmond without hurting her, and now fate had handed me the exact opportunity. Yet here was Desmond, creating a dramatic scene, while Nana stood by silently, making it look as though sending her away was entirely my idea. I took a slow sip of my coffee, ignoring his outburst. Nana was becoming increasingly unpred
The Divorce Game Chapter 16: A Reliable Partner
CAMILLA There was one thing I knew about Zoe: she never let things go until a situation worked out in her favor or her instinct was satisfied. I had just made it clear that Desmond and I needed to take our time preparing, only for her to get into my car anyway, determined to verify I was telling the truth. “Are you kidding me right now? You really want to follow me home?” I asked, trying to make her uncomfortable. She had always disliked Desmond, just like Logan did. The first day I invited Desmond to a firm hangout six months ago, they both took an instant disliking to him. They warned me he was using me—that men with pride don't leech off women, only those who are manipulative. Back then, I thought they were just looking down on him. I never realized they could see what I was blind to. In other words, love had blinded me. “Yes, Camilla. I haven't been to your house in forever, and I’ve really missed you over the past two weeks while I was away. Tomorrow is the weekend, a
The Divorce Game Chapter 15: Priceless Time
SEBASTIAN I glared at my wristwatch for what felt like the hundredth time. It was two minutes past two in the afternoon. I stared at the door, but there was no sign of anyone. My fists tightened as my jaw clenched. How dare this woman treat me like I don't matter? I had rushed through an urgent meeting just to meet with her, and she wasn't even here. The door clicked open, and my chest raced strangely. I shifted my gaze toward it, only to be met with disappointment once again. Charles stepped inside, his face pale with anxiety. My brows furrowed as I hoped it wasn't what I thought. “Speak,” I commanded, my voice calm and cold. “Sir... I just called Counselor Flores. She hung up and sent a brief reply to the email instead. She said she’s busy and couldn't make it today, unless it's during the weekend.” My chest tightened as a wave of dark anger swept through me. She hadn't bothered to reply yesterday, only to offer a half-baked excuse today. How fucking bold of that woman
The Divorce Game Chapter 14: The Mastermind
CAMILLA A sudden knock on my door snapped me from my thoughts. I shifted my gaze toward it, lazily got to my feet, and walked over to open it.Lyra groaned in exhaustion and walked inside, tossing her heels carelessly onto the floor before collapsing onto my bed. I stood by the door, staring at her, unable to stop the nagging question running through my mind.What could she possibly be hiding from me?“Why are you standing there?” she asked exhaustedly.“Lyra, I told you I want to rest. If there’s something important you want to say, say it and leave,” I said flatly.She instantly sat upright, staring at me in disbelief. “Camilla, you’ve changed a lot. Ever since that night you took that picture of Sebastian, you’ve been acting up. I promise Desmond will never find out!”“Get out, Lyra!” I yelled, unable to tolerate her constant acting any longer. She had become unrecognizable.She gasped and scrambled to her feet, blinking as tears gathered in her eyes.I kept my gaze unwavering as
