Semua Bab The Unwanted Wife: Bab 131 - Bab 140

After that day, Lucas had never felt more lost.The gaping hole in his chest had widened, swallowing whatever hope he’d been clinging to. The ache—deep, relentless—never dulled. If anything, it sharpened with every sunrise without Lara. Without her voice echoing in the house. Without her smile waiting for him at the end of the day. Without her... he was unraveling.The silence of their once-shared home screamed louder than any fight they ever had. He didn’t know what to do with himself anymore. He couldn’t eat. Sleep came in restless fragments. And every time he closed his eyes, all he saw was her walking away from him, not once looking back.He knew showing up at her place again wasn’t an option—not when the last thing he saw in her eyes was hatred. And he had no one to blame but himself.So he did what he thought was right. He called his lawyer and told him to proceed with the annulment. He didn’t want to push her further away, didn’t want her to hate him more than she already did.

A few days later, he didn’t know what compelled him that day.He told himself it was just a drive. That he had no intention of doing anything reckless.But somehow, he ended up near her workplace.I’ll just see her. Just for a second.That was the lie he told himself.But as his car pulled up near the school gate, his heart stuttered at the sight in front of him.A familiar figure leaned casually against a sleek black sports car, as if he belonged there.Him.Reagan Adams.Lucas’s hands curled tighter around the steering wheel.The man was dressed simply—an open-collared pressed shirt, dark slacks—but he carried himself with that same quiet authority that Lucas had come to loathe. Effortless. Confident. Controlled.Their eyes locked the moment Lucas stepped out of his car.The shift in Reagan’s expression was immediate. The ease in his face hardened into something sharp. He pushed off the car and straightened, jaw tensing.He didn’t waste time with pleasantries.“What are you doing he

The moment the gate closed behind her, the umbrella slipped from his hand and fell to the wet pavement with a soft thud.Lucas’ body trembled as he collapsed to his knees, the rain drenching him as violently as the grief inside. He couldn’t breathe past the sobs tearing out of his throat. His cries echoed through the quiet street, lost in the downpour.He had to accept it now.It was really over.Lara was gone for good.And he had no one to blame but himself.He stayed like that, knees on the ground, as the rain poured over him. He didn’t care who saw. He didn’t care about anything. He cried until his vision blurred, until the rain and tears became one, until time ceased to matter.Headlights eventually appeared at the edge of the driveway. He didn’t even lift his head when the car stopped.“Lucas,” a familiar voice called gently.His father.Lucas felt his presence kneel beside him. For a moment, they just stayed there, the sound of rain between them. He didn’t ask questions. Didn’t

The lawyers waited in silence, eyes on Lucas, as the question hung in the air. Would he contest the petition?Lucas stared down at the file in front of him, his fingers curled lightly into fists.There was nothing to contest.How could he argue against her truth? How could he say it wasn’t real when it was all she ever lived through?He lifted his eyes to Lara and saw her watching him, not with anger or resentment, just calm, steady eyes. Still, he could see it in her guarded expression. She was bracing herself. Maybe expecting him to deny it all, to twist the truth one last time.But there was nothing to deny.Only the truth.And so, he gave it to her.He shook his head.No.He wouldn’t fight her on this. He couldn’t.It was the least he could do. After all this time, after the silent pain he had inflicted on a woman who had done nothing but try. What right did he have to make her fight for freedom?He didn’t look at the lawyers when they warned him of the implications. How the court

The Unwanted Wife has finally come to an end! ✧ To be honest, this wasn’t how I originally planned to finish the story. But somewhere along the way, my heart changed, and so did the ending. I know some of you may be surprised that the epilogue was written from Lucas’ point of view, but I chose to write it not to justify his actions, but simply to tell his side of the story. I genuinely felt like he deserved that. And truthfully, I knew I wouldn’t be able to sleep at night unless I shared his backstory, and that’s how the epilogue came to life. Though, I didn’t expect it to grow so long, it could practically be its own story at this point. But, I guess it turned out that way because it wasn’t just Lucas’ backstory, it was also a reflection of the entire journey, seen through his eyes. I tried my best to give his character the depth and meaning it needed. I hope I was able to convey that well. But in the end, it’s up to you, my dear angels, to decide. To all of you who’ve made it t
