The Geometry of Three Chapter 10
The divorce proceedings were over almost before they began.Isaiah walked away with nothing, and his company was forced into bankruptcy.The day I received my final divorce decree, the weather was beautiful.As I walked out of the courthouse, Isaiah was standing at the bottom of the steps, looking like a homeless drifter. I didn't spare him a single glance.Just as I reached for my car door, my phone buzzed. It was a text message from an unknown number."Renee, I'm leaving. I'm going to a city where neither Isaiah nor you will ever be. The moment we finalized your divorce, Isaiah was so happy. He said we could finally be together openly."But when I looked at him, all I could see was the look in your eyes that day at the airport."I realized I couldn't do it. I can't bring myself to enjoy a love that was built on your pain."Every time he holds me, I feel sick. I feel like I'm committing a crime. My guilt destroyed my baby, and it destroyed our relationship too."Renee, I'm so

That night, I returned to the luxury condo I owned downtown. I had just finished showering when the doorbell rang.I glanced at the security monitor and saw Isaiah's haggard face.Throwing on a robe, I opened the door and leaned against the frame, looking at him coldly."Renee, what you did at the airport today was too much." Isaiah took a deep breath. His voice was eerily calm, yet laced with accusation. "Maren truly thought of you as her best friend. Why couldn't you leave her a way out?"I raised an eyebrow. "I'm the one who went too far? Isaiah, you came here in the middle of the night just to stand up for the love of your life?""I know you hate me." He let out a bitter laugh, his eyes heavy with exhaustion. "I've already signed the divorce agreement. My parents threw me out of the family, and my company is on the verge of bankruptcy. I paid the price for the choice I made back then. I've lost everything. Maren is all I have left."He stared at me intently. "But she's sick.

A month later, I returned home, full of sunshine and carrying two pieces of luggage.My original plan had been to slip quietly back into the country, finalize the divorce, and then fly straight to Brickton to start my new job.But somehow my flight information had been leaked.The moment I pushed my luggage cart out of the international arrivals gate, I spotted the two of them standing at the very front of the crowd.It had only been a month, yet I barely recognized either of them.Isaiah had lost a shocking amount of weight. His face was covered in dark stubble, and every inch of him radiated exhaustion and despair.Maren looked even worse. She was painfully thin beneath an oversized trench coat, her complexion waxy and pale. Her vacant eyes made her look like a ghost, as though a stiff breeze could knock her over.The instant he saw me, Isaiah's eyes lit up. Just as quickly, the light faded.Maren, meanwhile, broke through the crowd of people waiting to greet arriving passeng

This was the man I had once loved with all my heart, and the best friend I had once treasured more than anyone.Neither of them was evil. They were simply too weak, too selfish, and too deeply in love.Maybe Maren truly felt guilty for betraying me, and Isaiah truly loved Maren with everything he had.The two of them struggled together in the swamp between morality and desire, hurting each other every step of the way. Yet in the end, they dragged me into it and made me the sacrifice for their tragic love story."Renee, did you watch the video? Maren lost the baby. Isaiah's at the hospital with her now."Mom sent me a voice message. Her voice was weary, but beneath the exhaustion was nothing but heartache for me."Things are a little complicated now. What are you going to do?"I took a sip of my coffee. The bitter liquid slid down my throat, clearing my mind even further.I held down the voice message button and replied in an even, icy tone, "Mom, I'm going to make him sign it.

No one expected Maren, who had been cowering in the corner, trembling the entire time, to suddenly lose control. Like a woman possessed, she shoved through the guests standing in her way and grabbed Isaiah's wrist just as he held the pen."Maren, what are you doing?" Isaiah froze.She broke down in uncontrollable sobs, tears ruining her carefully applied makeup. Clinging desperately to his arm, she shook her head over and over."You can't sign it! Isaiah, you can't divorce Renee! This is all my fault! I'm the one in the wrong! I let myself get carried away... I held on to the little bit of warmth you gave me. I never should have destroyed your marriage!"Then she turned and begged my parents desperately."Please… Please don't let Renee divorce him! I'll leave! I'll disappear! I'll terminate the pregnancy tomorrow. I'll completely disappear from your lives! Please forgive Isaiah. He just made a mistake. The person he truly loves is Renee!""Maren, have you lost your mind?"Seeing

At that very moment, an airport announcement rang out behind me."Ladies and gentlemen, boarding for the flight to Mistlond will begin shortly..."I stood, picked up my suitcase, and handed my boarding pass to the gate agent.Meanwhile, twenty miles away, the spectacle inside the hotel ballroom was only getting started.What happened next was captured in the full video Mom sent me afterward. One by one, the images on the giant screen continued to change.From a photograph of nineteen-year-old Isaiah and Maren embracing each other, smiling brightly at the camera…To security camera stills from a year earlier, showing the two of them wrapped up in each other in a hotel corridor after Isaiah got drunk...To a photo taken just a month earlier of Isaiah supporting Maren as she walked out of the obstetrics clinic.Each image landed like a resounding slap across both their faces.Beside every photo was a short caption. Together, they pieced together the story of two childhood sweethe
