"Mrs. Shaw, the office is on fire!" Panic cracked in the secretary's voice. "Mr. Shaw is in his office. I've called several times, but now he's not picking up his phone, and he's not answering the door."Hadley gasped for air. The glass of wine she had been drinking, fell down and broke on the floor as her eyesight became blurry.Her and her husband, Andrew Shaw’s two years wedding anniversary is today. Earlier, she helped Andrew secure a contract deal as his company director with Sky Group, one of the biggest companies in the city, and while she waited impatiently for him to return home to tell him the good news about the contract, she had been baking a celebration cake since it was also their two years anniversary today."No... no, Andrew will be fine..." Hadley assured herself. She hurried upstairs in a haze even though she is overweight, her mind racing.With trembling hands, she pulled open the drawer and took out the key card that Andrew had given her only a week prior. He had t

"Drew, hahaha! Stop! Haha!”Hadley waited at the door, her heart hurting, as Laura’s lighthearted voice wafted out.It never occurred to her that she’ll return back from the hospital three days later and see this. As if leaving her to die in the flames wasn’t enough for them.Laura was blushing as she undid Andrew’s shirt and tie on the bed, and Andrew looked at her lovingly without protest.Hadley grinned bitterly and gripped the documents more tightly as she watched them from the door. She knew this would be her final visit to this home, yet her return as his wife felt sudden and out of place.She pushed open the slightly ajar door after taking a quick look at the divorce papers she was holding. The picture frame from her and Andrew’s wedding, haphazardly thrown on the ground, was in her way as she moved forward.Shards of the broken glass were strewn all over the place. The frame had a crumpled registration photo with a red background that showed them both appearing unpleasant, eve

"Let's avoid wasting each other's time because you detest me so much. Tonight, I'll move out. I'll see you tomorrow at the City’s court." Hadley said.She then made her way upstairs to gather her belongings. She was unable to bear to spend any more time at the home that had once been hers and Andrew’s."I couldn’t come to the hospital because I was very busy," Andrew said, grabbing her wrist. “Simply state what you want.”Busy after saving his life? Really Andrew!"There's no need to mince words," Andrew remarked. "As long as you stay my wife, name your terms."Andrew’s reference to the divorce looked like a ploy to grab his attention, and he was already making an effort to please her. It was more akin to a deal between business partners than the consoling gesture of a husband to his wife.Cash? An automobile? or a home? These problems may be fixed if Hadley asked her biological family."Why do you think money can solve everything? Don't assume everyone is like you, obsessed with wor
