The scratching sound of a fountain pen echoed through the silent courtroom.Sofia Moretti stared at the divorce papers spread neatly before her. Black ink. White pages. A marriage reduced to signatures and legal clauses."Mrs. Romano," the attorney said gently, sliding the pen closer. "You may sign here."Mrs. Romano.The title had barely lasted a year.Sofia let out a quiet breath before taking the pen. Her fingers didn't tremble. They had long since learned how to hide what her heart refused to forget.Across the mahogany table sat Alessandro Romano.Impeccably dressed in a charcoal suit, his broad shoulders remained stiff, his expression carved from stone. He didn't look at her once.Not when she picked up the pen.Not when she signed away the vows they'd once whispered to each other.Not even when she pushed the papers back across the table.The room remained unnervingly still.Outside, camera shutters clicked relentlessly.
