Carlo wouldn't sign the divorce papers. Big move for a guy who'd already lost everything. Then Dad's legal team dropped the magic words—lawsuits, audits, maybe even a few "accidents." Suddenly, he remembered how to hold a pen. Divorce finalized. Fast. Next time I saw him, he looked like roadkill in a wrinkled suit. His eyes lit up when he spotted me. He lunged, blocked my path.

His warm lips were possessive, as if he was trying to make a statement as he kissed me. Then he pulled back without warning. I stared at him through dazed eyes, too far gone to even think straight. Excitement sparkled in his eyes as he looked down at me, his breathing a little bit rushed. “Guess what?” He said. “The divorce has been finalized. I’m free from Susan forever.” “You’re serious?” I asked. “Yes, baby.” He pulled back until he was on his feet. “We don’t have to worry about her anymore. It’s just me and you now. Till the end of time.”

"No. I won't sign. I won't. Lori, I love you—I really do. I know I screwed up. I've hated myself for it. I swear I'll never do it again..." I just stood there. Didn't say a word. I believed him. I also knew he'd been spiraling since everything came out. He probably never wanted a divorce. What he wanted was the rush—the ego boost. The way Zoey looked at him like he was everything. But some lines, once crossed, don't uncross. And once it's broken like that, there's no going back. "You know," I said, slow and flat, "I remembered something today." He looked up at me, eyes wrecked.

He did it so carefully, as though he weren't the man who had just divorced me for the ninth time, and as though he weren't about to light up the entire city for another woman. He truly was a remarkable actor. He deceived those young women with their innocence and deceived me with promises of forever. I remembered what he'd told me after our first divorce: I was the only person he loved and that the women outside our marriage meant nothing and were just a bit of fun. I believed him. How pathetic. Not wanting to dwell on the past any longer, I decided to step outside for some air and clear my head. Just as I was about to stand, Ryland pressed a hand over mine. "Stay here and drink with everyon

That the escape plan he’d helped me devise had been his intention all along. Two days later, he’d placed divorce papers in front of me, his hand steady on my shoulder. “It’s time to make a clean break,” he’d said, and I’d signed them without hesitation, feeling like I was finally reclaiming my life. How quickly I’d handed that life over to him instead, believing I’d found freedom when I’d only traded one cage for another.

Whenever the three of us—me, Darius Shaffer, and Sonya Berger—are together, everything I say always gets ignored outright. At first, I just assumed that they simply hadn't heard me. After all, I've been in a relationship with Darius for seven years, and Sonya has been my childhood best friend for 18 years. But today, I speak up as I usually do and ask, "How about we go to Mistland for a trip during the holidays?" They keep their heads down and continue scrolling through their phones. Neither of them acknowledges me. Moments later, Sonya holds up her phone and grins. "Look at this Mistland grill! It's their signature dish. It looks so delicious!" Darius looks up immediately and jumps in

LIORA I knew it was not the rosiest season in Dorian's and my marriage life. I knew that after what would finally be our divorce, it was only fair that everyone moved on to what gave them joy. Yet, why did this news make my heart drop completely? At the counter, Marco’s spoon stopped halfway around the pot. Vivienne’s glass hung an inch above the table. I felt the bread in my hand go still, and for a second the only sound in that enormous bright kitchen was the faint tick of something cooling on the stove.

“It’s not too late, Adrian. Divorce her and marry Savannah. I know you love her. I can’t bear to watch you spend your life trapped in a miserable marriage. “As for your wife, money’s what she wants. Pay her off and be done with it. Spare yourself the aggravation!” Peter despised everything about Sophie. He’d normally kept it to himself for the sake of appearances. Now Savannah was back, and he’d had enough to drink that he no longer felt the need to hold his tongue. When Sophie reached the doorway, Adrian and Savannah were helping him upstairs, one on either side. He was still muttering. “I know why you won’t divorce her. But is it worth making yourself so miserable?” “I know what I’m doing,

The call ended. Xander put his phone in his pocket. His life was never simple. There were always people trying to get something from him. People waiting for him to make one mistake. That was why he never cared about relationships. Love was a weakness. Trust was dangerous. Marriage was just a contract people broke later. He learned that the hard way years ago. His own marriage taught him well. He once believed loving someone meant giving them everything. He was wrong as fuck. After his divorce he promised himself he would never be that stupid again.
