Semua Bab My Divorce Lawyer Has Always Loved Me: Bab 11 - Bab 20

“Honey, trust me. Once the dust settles, I will clear your name. In my eyes, you are, and always will be, the only Mrs. Jackson.”“There is no need,” Nina cut him off coldly. Words like that would have moved her once.Now, they only filled her with disgust.All she wanted was a clean break.“That title of Mrs. Jackson. You can give it to anyone you like. I do not want it.”There were ways to fix this. Their marriage still had a chance to be salvaged. But every choice Miles had made had been the wrong one.He was unfaithful, heartless, and unjust. Why should she stay? “Miles, have some dignity. You and your mother want a child. I can’t give you one. You already have another option. Why keep clinging to me?“All this does is make me sick.”Nina pointed toward the door, her voice weary.“Since you refuse to sign, then leave. You are not welcome here.”Something in her words seemed to snap inside him.The warmth vanished from Miles’s face. His gaze turned cold, dark as a botto

There was no response from inside.Only a door separated them. So close, yet so far.If Miles wanted to, he could open that door at any time.But he no longer wanted to provoke Nina.“Nina, I love you.”He left those words lingering in the air. Though reluctant, Miles knew he had to walk away.Staying would accomplish nothing. It would only deepen the tension between them.It was better to give them both some space to calm down.As he left the Taylor estate, the thought of going back to an empty apartment without Nina made him feel hollow. He had no desire to return.Lighting a cigarette, he muttered to Levi, “Glitter Hotel.”Ever since Nina had started trying to conceive, even knowing it was unlikely, Miles had quit smoking for her.Lately though, with trouble piling up and the woman he loved so far away, he had fallen back on old habits, using the nicotine to settle his nerves.Before long, the cigarette burned down to the filter but the bitter taste in his mouth remained

That night, Nina barely slept.Her dreams came in broken flashes, scenes from her life flickering by like an old film reel.Meeting Miles had once felt like the greatest stroke of luck in her life.They had grown up together. She had stood by him through those first difficult years when he returned to the Jackson family.And he had been her rock, helping her through the loss of her parents, even clearing the Taylor family’s name when they were falsely accused of selling tainted medicine.It was Miles who had told her, “Nina, you still have me. I will love you the way your parents did. You will be my everything, until the day I die.”How could she not have loved a man like that?They had shared everything—love, trust, loyalty. They had been each other’s support and each other’s home.She had been ready to bear his children, with her whole heart.The scene shifted.Mia appeared, heavily pregnant, beaming with happiness. Suddenly, her image multiplied into thousands upon thousan

Mr. Jackson Sr. had offered quite a lot.The entire Taylor family estate was granted to her alone. A newly listed single-family villa in Harbor City’s upscale Atlantic neighborhood, valued at six million dollars. Two percent of Jackson Corporation’s shares. And sixty million dollars in cash.Jackson Corporation was highly valuable. Just that two percent stake alone would bring her at least one million dollars a month in dividends.This was far more than what she could have secured on her own through legal action. More than enough for her to live comfortably for the rest of her life.Nina curled her lips in a cold, mocking smile.If a three-year marriage couldn’t give her lasting love, at least it had given her more than enough money.She flipped to the last page of the document. Both signature lines were still blank.She rested her right hand lightly on the table, her thumb tracing slow circles over her index finger joint. Pressing her lips together, she fell deep into thought.

The agreement was ten pages long, each page packed with dense text.The contents were divided into three main sections.First, it stated that the breakdown of the marriage was due to irreconcilable differences, with no mention whatsoever of infidelity.Second, it outlined a stunning divorce settlement.Third, it included a strict confidentiality clause, repeated multiple times.There was no denying it. Watching a man fully absorbed in his work was incredibly attractive.William sat with his head slightly bowed, his deep eyes focused and intent beneath thick, sharply defined brows.Dressed casually, he seemed less authoritative and more approachable, almost like the older brotherly figure she had known back in college. For a moment, it felt like being transported back to their college days.“I want to know,” William said, his tone direct and professional, “how do you feel about your husband at this point?”He made no effort to soften his words, fully displaying his professional
