All Chapters of Divorced, Unnoticed: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Gary stopped looking at Kelly and Sandy before walking straight to the study.He opened the door and walked over to a cabinet. He crouched and pulled a folder from the bottom drawer of the cabinet.Inside were two divorce certificates.As his fingertips brushed over the cold covers, Gary's eyes slowly turned red.He had never planned to hand those divorce papers to Dana. He had always kept them himself, waiting for the right moment to take her to get remarried.He should have taken the initiative to apply for remarriage long ago, but he kept telling himself it wasn't that important and kept putting it off.Even yesterday, when Dana said she was going to the Clerk's Office, he had simply impatiently thought she just wanted to stir up trouble on the day of the wedding…The image of Dana standing at the top of the stairs with tears streaming down her face appeared in his mind. Thinking back now, there had been no hysteria in her eyes, only calm indifference.Had she already decide

Gary rushed to the emergency room and spotted Sandy sitting outside by the door. He walked over and grabbed her arm, asking, "What happened? How did Kelly end up in the emergency room?"Sandy's voice trembled. "It was my fault... Kelly said she was bored at home and kept begging me to take her to a bar. She had a little to drink, and when she came out of the restroom, she slipped, then... she fell down the stairs..."It's all my fault. I should never have taken her to a place like that, and I definitely shouldn't have let her drink just because she looked happy..."As she spoke, tears rolled down her cheeks, and her shoulders trembled. Looking at how devastated she looked, Gary had no choice but to force his accusatory words back down. Things had already come to this. Shifting the blame would not change anything.He let her go and answered in a tired voice, "It's alright. It's not your fault. Let's just wait for the doctor."He sat on the bench outside the emergency room, his ha

Gary stayed by Kelly's side all night.She finally woke up when dawn broke, her voice weak. "Gary, it was Sandy who pushed me down the stairs! She was the one who pointed those people after me and got me kidnapped two years ago! You have to make her pay for what she did!"He had already seen the footage, but hearing it from Kelly herself was a gut punch.His hand tightened around his sister's. "I'll make this right for you. Rest first. Don't think too much.""And Dana..." Kelly's voice broke. "I was so awful with her before this... Gary, I'm so sorry for what I did to Dana. You have to find her and bring her back, alright?""Alright. Just focus on getting better."Looking at Kelly's face, which was heavy with guilt, and then thinking of how he had misunderstood and hurt Dana, and how Sandy had spent all these years scheming and acting, the rage that had been buried in Gary's chest finally exploded.When he got home, the bodyguards were still holding Sandy in the middle of the li

"Gary, back off!" Alec stepped in front of Dana, his expression stern. "Dana is my fiancée now.""Fiancée?!" Gary turned his head toward Alec, and his rage blinded him. He swung his fist and punched Alec hard in the face. "I'm talking to my wife! Who do you think you are to interfere when you're just an outsider?! Get out of my way!"Alec staggered, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He wiped it away, his gaze becoming cold. "Gary, listen up! I'm the man Dana chose right now. I'm the one marrying her. You're the outsider here."Dana hurried forward and held Alec's arm. "Alec, are you alright?"Watching Dana worry about Alec, Gary felt as if a knife had been stabbed straight through his heart.Dana turned to Gary and slowly said, "You were the one who tricked me into signing the divorce papers! You were the one who shoved my head into the ice bucket and forced me to admit to some wrongdoing I never committed, even when I was dying! You were the one who turned around and

After the wedding, Dana and Alec did not rush off to crowded vacation spots for their honeymoon. Instead, they drove slowly along the mountain roads around the small town.Alec knew Dana liked quiet places, so he had picked a few small inns with streams and groves.During the day, he sat with her by the creek to fish and watch the mist roll over the hills. They spent the night in the inn's small living room, with one reading and the other occupied with design drafts. Now and then, they would look up at the same time and see a gentle smile in each other's eyes.When the honeymoon ended,Dana returned to work at the jewelry design branch of the Thompson Group. Every morning, Alec would leave home ten minutes early so he could swing by her office and drop her off, and every evening, he would be there on time to pick her up.When Dana had to work late, Alec would wait in the cafe next door. He would order her favorite latte and stay until she finished.Her coworkers often teased her,
