All Chapters of Marriage Over; Sign The Divorce Papers, Mr. Brooke : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

Tristan's POVI arrived back from my business trip after a week, and I found out that Anastasia hadn't come back to the house, not even once. I couldn't believe that she was going against me, and a strange feeling surged inside of me.I couldn't place my hands on the feelings, but I knew anger was among them. How could she abandon our home for weeks and not call even once? Even after what she did, she had the audacity to ignore me completely. So, I decided to make her crawl out of her hole.“Sean, I want you to take this to the court and process it,” I said, handing the document to Sean.“This is a family registration form,” Sean mumbled, and I nodded. “Are you really doing this for Ms. Serena? Or is it for Mrs. Brooke?”I knew he could already tell the reason I was doing it. There was no reason to hide it. Anastasia needed to know that actions had consequences, and I couldn't wait for her to find out that she had a legal son.“I know she's going to come out of that shell if she finds

Tristan's POVI hissed in frustration as everyone gathered after my mother's outburst, but what was more concerning was my grandfather's reaction. It was as if he wanted to bite my head off.“Tristan Brooke, did you just raise your voice at me?” Grandfather asked in a grave voice as he walked towards me, and my mother could already sense the tension as she immediately shielded me from him.“Calm down, Father. I don't know what's going on, but forgive Tristan. He's just being a child,” my mother said, and I scoffed.“Really? Maybe you are right. That's why his wife decided to divorce him, and he didn't even get a bit of knowledge of it,” my grandfather hissed.“Maybe I didn't get any knowledge of it because I was blindsided and...” I rumbled, trying to find an excuse even when it sounded ridiculous because, looking back at it now, there had been signs.Those vacant looks...I should have known something was wrong.“And that's your incompetence. It's one thing to make your wife unhappy,

Tristan's POVMy hands went numb as I held the contract in my hand, and I didn't know if I could still cause a tantrum after Anastasia made this move.But was this not a clear indication that Anastasia really wanted this divorce?I mean, a lot of people didn't know about the arrangements between us, but for her to give her attorney the marriage contract she signed just because she wanted to get away from me made me realize that I had been delusional all this while.She wasn't being hidden away from me; she was the one who refused to see me...but what sin had I committed that was so grave?“This...when did she give you this?” I asked, my voice low, as I held tightly onto the contract, my heart being ripped apart, knowing this was a deal breaker if Anastasia had actually sent this.“Yes, she...”“Then I want to see her. I want her to show me this and tell me it's over,” I mumbled, my lips shaky as I bit down on my raging emotions, but the man's blank face told me I wasn't going to get a

Anastasia's POVThe atmosphere in the boardroom had become painfully awkward after I caught them bad-mouthing me behind my back, and none of them seemed to know where to look. The men and women who had been confidently questioning my abilities moments ago were suddenly staring at their papers, avoiding my gaze as if the documents could somehow save them from the embarrassment.“What's wrong? Is it suddenly not fun to badmouth me anymore?” I asked as I walked towards my seat, but none of them replied.I could practically feel their discomfort hanging in the air, but I wasn't going to make things easier for them. I leaned back in my chair, keeping my expression calm as I watched them squirm. They had doubted my ability to handle the project, only to realize that I had heard every word they said. Now, the silence wasn't because they had nothing to say; it was because they were ashamed to say it to my face.“Ermm... Ms. Lancaster,” the tense atmosphere was cut through by Mr. Stiles, the C

Tristan's POVIt had been five years since Anastasia disappeared, and no matter how hard I tried to find her, my search had been futile. But I didn't stop. Even that relentless chase had gotten my family worried, but I didn't care.I didn't care…because a world without Anastasia had become grey with no colour. I didn't know how much I had grown used to having her around through the years we stayed married, which made me vow that I had to find her and make amends.I couldn't lose Anastasia, not in this lifetime.Even if it meant searching for a million years until I saw a shadow that looked like her, I wouldn't mind. But tonight, something happened.I saw a shadow that looked like her…I saw her standing across from me at the restaurant, but I was too starstruck to speak.“Anastasia,” I whispered under my breath, because I felt like I was dreaming. But before I could even move forward, she turned around and left.“Anastasia!” I called out, running after her, but Kelvin dragged me back.
