I'll always want the best of you, even better than what I have. If it wasn't for you tricking me into signing the agreement, I would've never divorced you." It was funny how Ian's words were exactly the same as what Francesca told me. I looked at him indifferently and asked, "Are you done talking? I still have work to do in the afternoon."

My hands shook a little after I put my signature on the paper as I realized the gravity of what I had just done. I was officially divorced. As I stared at the signed papers, something shifted inside me. It wasn’t just grief any more; it was clarity. I had nothing left tying me to Washington city. No family. No home. There's no reason to stay. The love I’d fought for, cried for and defended had never truly existed. Julian had walked out of our marriage long before today. I was just the last one to leave. And maybe, just maybe, that made me stronger. I wiped my tears, squared my shoulders, and told myself I would not be broken. I would start again on my own terms.

Mid-divorce as I was, I was going to avoid him like the plague. “But, I mean, he’s not entirely wrong,” Cathy said. “Maybe, after your divorce is finalized, you should try to find a new boyfriend? Someone nice and caring, who wants to help take care of you without stifling you so much.” “A boyfriend doesn’t fit into my plans right now,” I said. “All I care about is completing my work well, earning my pay, and then escaping from the pack.” Subconsciously, I lifted my hand to my stomach.

I quickly added, "But I really am. My husband cheated on me, and I’m in the middle of divorcing him." She slapped her thigh. "Exactly! Divorce is good. Leave the bad man behind, and the next one will be a good one." I was speechless. As Mary swiftly cleaned and organized the meat and vegetables, she kept talking non-stop. "Miss White, I’m telling you this because we’re from the same hometown. You can’t judge a man by his looks or by what he says—you have to look at what he does. "A woman has to keep her head clear and know what she wants. You can’t tie yourself to just one tree.

No wonder Corbin simply couldn't forget about her. "You're not breaking up anything. Everything here should've belonged to you anyway." Corbin snatched the papers from me and threw them onto the table. "Are you done, Skylar? Ingrid has always been so busy at work, and it's not often she gets to come back to Novington like now! Why must you make things so awkward for her as soon as you meet?" I was calm as I answered, "I'm not. I just want to divorce you, as you wished. That way, you both can get together."

I didn't even bother checking and blocked him right away. … I'd been focused on getting back to work for two months after the divorce. One morning, Mom stopped by. She gently stroked my hair, sounding worried as she said, "I've got you a spa appointment this afternoon, Elle. You need to relax. Don't burn yourself out." I paused, realizing that ever since my last marriage, I'd been stuck in a routine of housework, with no time for myself or to really live. My eyes started to well up. "Okay. Thanks, Mom."

” “Grandma, you don’t know what happened—” “I know that girl,” she said sharply. “Don’t you dare tell me what I know.” I was gripping my own knees so hard the fabric bunched under my fingers. The room was too hot. The monitors were too loud. The nurses had moved to the far wall and they were watching this like women who had been waiting for it. “I divorced her,” I said roughly. My grandmother went quiet. “It’s done. The papers are signed. She’s gone. She’s living with—she’s with the Atwoods now. Eric Atwood and his brothers.”

“I'm so sorry that you're going through this, babe. Just so you know, it's his lost, someone better will come.” Hazel chuckles but there's no real humor in it. “I'm fucking done with men. From now till the rest of my life, I'm staying off men. It's okay to be angry and tired, it's okay to take a break from relationships but just don't give up on love, there are still some good ones out there. I wished I could say that to her but I currently couldn't. My love life is a mess. I'm married and alone. I'm not eligible to render such advice.

" That set Clement off. Not wanting to entertain his insults, I hung up. While he was still overseas, I took the chance to move out. Before we got married, I had worked hard and bought myself a small place—about 500 square feet. It wasn't much, but it was enough. Now that I was heading for a divorce, at least I had a roof over my head. The Normans were old money, so not long after we got married, Clement begged me to quit my job and become a stay-at-home wife. Blinded by love, I didn't even hesitate. For five years, I lived on a monthly allowance. To be honest, I felt more like a servant than a partner, like someone they could boss around.

the woman explained. Initially, she hadn’t wanted a divorce, but she eventually realized she couldn’t live with him anymore. Just seeing him brought back memories of the homewrecker sucking him. It was unbearable. "A cheating man is like money that fell on poop – it's a waste if you don’t pick it back up, but if you do, it's disgusting. Ultimately, to avoid the disgust, you have to let it go," she said. Iris completely understood the woman's feelings. She knew what the woman wanted. "Let's work together to secure the best outcome for you," she said.
