1 Divorce Agreement

"What is this?" Elise stared at the documents placed on her desk. The large words printed in bold seemed like an ominous sign: DIVORCE AGREEMENT."The divorce papers. Don't forget how you married into my family, Elise Thatcher," Kayden Anderson said coldly, his dark eyes seemed to be assessing her. It was this pair of deep and dark eyes that seemed to have a profound meaning that made Elise fall in love with him."Kayden, could I know why you want a divorce? We've been married for three years," Elise kept her calm, but her heart felt as if it was being stabbed by thousands of knives."Those three years I've been in a coma. You should know that this isn't my wish. I have no recollection of any memorable times with you. Grandma only let you marry into the family to make it convenient," Kayden spoke coldly. At that moment, his phone rang, cutting off the rest of his words.Without waiting for her to sign or say something, Kayden strode out of the door after receiving a call. Elise stood

2 Did she push you?

The butler passed her the papers with a reluctant look. For the past three years, Elise had sacrificed and given her best to Kayden. But what did he give her? Nothing! Not even a gift or flowers! The only beautiful gift he had given her was these divorce papers."I think I should go. I'm sorry," Jessica said, sounding like she really was sorry. "This isn't a good time.""Jessie, you're not going anywhere," Kayden said gently to her. He held her arm, pulling her back. "I've prepared this specifically for you. Don't go, Jessie."Jessie, an endearing name he only used for Jessica while he always called Elise by her full name. Elise wanted to laugh at herself for being a fool. Why didn't she see it sooner? That her husband was cheating on her? Actually, she had noticed the signs, but she was too absorbed in her head, thinking that Kayden would love her. Bringing Jessica home was the last straw that broke the camel's back.Elise flung the papers at Kayden's face. Kayden glared at her in su

3 Innocence Game

Jessica bit her lips and looked at Elise with an innocent expression. But the way she looked at Elise could be easily mistaken as fear, like Elise had done something to her."Kayden, what game could I possibly play? Don't forget that there are cameras in here," Elise said coldly.Jessica nervously glanced up at a black camera on the ceiling and held Kayden's hands. "Kayden, she didn't push me. I fell off myself. I'm sorry for causing any misunderstanding."If Elise really exposed her, Jessica was afraid that it might affect Kayden's and her relationship.Elise didn't want to see their lovey-dovey interactions, so she turned to leave."Did I say you could leave, Elise?" Kayden sneered."So I can't leave unless I apologize to your beloved Jessica?" Elise mocked, turning around to face the man she had been crazy in love with for the past ten years.Elise had been in love with him for ten years, which was why she readily agreed to marry him. She learned that everyone had left Kayden's sid

4 Does she really want a divorce?

Since when did Elise start to talk to them in that tone? Elise had never spoken back to them whenever they reprimanded or forced her to do something. So why was she acting different today?Jessica was sure that Elise was just pretending. After all, Elise was so obsessed and crazy about Kayden. She heard that Kayden refused to eat his medicine and threw his wedding ring into the pool. He even told her that if she could retrieve it, he would obediently eat his medicine. Hence, Elise jumped into the pool and nearly drowned. She managed to retrieve the ring, her dress wet and soggy, her hair clinging to her head and body in an embarrassing manner.The guests who were present at that time laughed at her, calling her a desperate golddigger and money-hungry slut."Actually, Elise doesn't need to apologize to me. She didn't do anything wrong, Amanda," Jessica spoke up. She sounded like she was speaking for Elise."Jessica, you're so kind that she takes advantage of you. It's the same with how

5 Ridiculed by the world

No hello or sweet greetings. No word of concern either. He always got straight to the point, cold and rude like he couldn't wait to hang up. It was like she was some virus that he couldn't wait to avoid."Aren't you forgetting what I said yesterday?" Elise asked."What?" He sounded impatient.Elise already expected this answer, but it still hurted. When a person doesn't care for another, he would forget anything about that person. He would treat everything she does and says as insignificant. In fact, he might not remember anything between them. It was Elise who remembered every detail of him, his preferences and taste."Come to the courthouse to finalize the divorce at 2 p.m. I'll be waiting for you," Elise sucked in a breath, controlling the tears from falling. Crying over a jerk like Kayden wasn't worth it."I'm busy. Some other day," With that, he hung up on her.Elise stared at the screen, chuckling bitterly to herself as the tears that she tried so hard to control started to slip

6 Asking for an open marriage

No, Elise had decided. Her life was in her own hands. She would never bow to anyone again."Oh, but I have something to play to make you come to the courthouse with me," Elise pressed a button and some sounds came out of it. They could hear a woman moaning with a man. Kayden's face became pale and his eyes darkened.Elise had recorded them when they made love to each other yesterday!Was she blackmailing him?"Elise, what the hell are you doing? Threatening me? Are you out of your mind?" Kayden laughed."You're right. I lost my mind thanks to you. These three years with you have made my brain deteriorate till there's nothing left. Be a good boy and come to the courthouse. If not, don't blame me for releasing this to the media.""Finally, you're showing your true colors, Elise. Tired of playing the obedient housewife?" His eyes flitted to the phone in her hand.Elise yawned. "I've always shown my true colors to you. It's you who never bothered to look. And don't think of snatching my p

7 Ellison King

At the club, Elise found the person she was looking for. Standing on the stage, dressed in a luxurious three-piece suit and holding a microphone, was a man. He had a high nose and angular jaws."Ellison, what are you doing in a club?" She looked at a man with golden blonde hair and blue eyes."Waiting for you," Ellison smiled."Ah, so the news of my divorce has now spread.""Come on. Can't I pick up my little sister? I have a perfect way to make you release some stress and anger. Let's go party and drink."Elise agreed and took his hand."It's time you stopped pleasing people. Do you know how thin you've become?But first, let's go shopping. It's time you take back what should have been yours."Ellison brought her shopping and took her to have a spa."Hold on! Is that a bruise on your back?"Elise was trying on a bare-back dress when Ellison spotted an ugly purplish bruise."Thanks to Maria. Out of anger, she threw a glass at me. I couldn't dodge in time, so it hit me," Elise looked a

8 Celebrate my divorce

"Nice to see you, Jessica. I go wherever I want to. Is there a problem?" Elise's response was sharp and cold, catching them off guard. Liam and Nathan's eyes brightened. They had never seen a woman who dared to talk to Jessica like that. In the States, everyone respected Jessica because she was going to be the future wife of Kayden.Jessica bit her lips and forced a smile. "No, I'm just curious. I didn't mean to disturb you or come between you and Kayden."Come between Kayden? Did this beauty and Kayden know each other? It sounded like an innocent sentence, but Elise knew that Jessica was hinting to Kayden's friends about her status."That's right. I'm Kayden's ex-wife, Elise. Nice to meet y'all," Elise casually said, her tone lazy and confident."What? This is your ex-wife, Kayden?" Liam was shocked. Kayden glared at Liam, but he didn't seem to notice the murderous aura radiating from him.Liam, a playboy who changed girls every week, couldn't help but compare Jessica and Elise. The

9 What tricks did she play?

"Ellison must have invited them over. He's introducing his friends to Elise. I guess that means he sees her as important," Liam said."Where did she get so much money? Wasn't she poor?""Isn't it obvious? It must be Mr. King who's sponsoring everything.""Maybe he'll dump her when the novelty runs out.""I don't think so. I haven't seen Mr. King treat a woman so nicely before."Jessica was livid, but she tried not to show any emotions. She was insulted before everyone by Ellison, making her lose face.Kayden looked displeased, but he ignored them. However, his ears were listening to every conversation, especially the ones that were coming from the opposite lounge.They clinked their glasses, laughing and joking loudly."Happy divorce day!""Happy dump your ex husband day!""Is there such a day?" Elise tipped her head back and laughed cheerfully."Then let's create one. I heard that you

10 You're a disgrace!

Ellison's car arrived soon. "Since you can't walk, allow me to carry you," Ellison said. Elise nodded. She wrapped her hands around his neck as he lifted her up, carrying her bridal style. This scene was witnessed by Kayden and his friends who had gathered to go home. "Oh my god! He's carrying her like a princess!" Liam gasped. "He's so strong! I want a man like that," two girls who were passing by ogled Elise and Ellison with envy. Ellison placed her into the car gently and shut the door. He strode around to the other side and got into the car. They drove off like a happy couple. Kayden stood there, clenching his fists. She found herself a strong backing so fast after their divorce? Was she seeing someone behind his back during their marriage? If not, it was impossible for her to hook up with Ellison so fast. The next morning, Kayden stood in his office, looking out through the
