All the humbleness in his face disappeared to be replaced by the smirk of the cocky bastard that I had come to remember him to be. "You are the mother of my child and the love of my life." Rowan shrugged as if those words came to him as easy as breathing. "I fucked up. I fucked up really bad. I did not respect you or value you when I had you. And so, I ended up losing you.

He wasn’t certain if I’d accept him or not and I didn’t blame him. “Yeah, but I’ve decided already.” “Kimberly–“ “Here me out, George.” I cut him off. I wasn’t young anymore and I didn’t want to keep wasting his time because he was even older than me. I needed to stop letting my failed marriage with Jackson determine the rest of my life. I couldn’t live like that forever, could I? He let out a sigh. “Fine. I’ll hear you out.” There was rustling on the other end of the line before it stopped. “I’m listening.” He added when I hadn’t said anything else.

He tossed it onto the desk beside the meal I had cooked through a crushing migraine. I looked down. Divorce Papers. My breath caught. I could feel the room spin. "Why?" I whispered. The anger drained away, leaving only emptiness. "Why are you doing this?" "Because I only married you because we were fated mates," Rex said flatly. "I never loved you, Rosemarie. I tolerated you because of the bond, but Tracy is back now. I'm done pretending. I'll give you a generous settlement. You'll be financially secure."

Then, she tightened her arms around me. "Of course I do. We've been together for ten years. If we don't get married, what else would we do? Why are you overthinking this?" Yeah. Ten years. But the words carved into that metal box kept flashing through my mind. [The greatest regret of my life is that I couldn't marry you.] Natasha let go of me and immediately started talking excitedly about tomorrow's wedding rehearsal. She even started imitating the pastor reciting the vows. "For richer or poorer… In sickness and in health…

Ruby said softly as she walked up to me. Her tone was no longer as bossy as it had been when she spoke to me. "I can pretend today's events never happened. We can get married again and continue being together." I burst out laughing. In the past, we had fought fiercely because of Wilbur. One time, during our worst argument, we had even gone to the courthouse. But while waiting for our turn, Ruby regretted it and softened her attitude toward me. At that time, I had also been reluctant to end a marriage that had lasted so many years. After thinking it over, I took the hint and let things slide. I pretended like nothing had happened as I took her hand and left the courthouse with her.

But on his deathbed, his grandfather had told him he wasn't allowed to fail me, and so he'd honored it, and married me. He'd known I was rarely at the Ashford house, that I probably didn't even know about him and Seraphina, but it hadn't stopped him from resenting the marriage. And yet in those years, living under the same roof, he'd learned things about me. Even without meaning to. That I got treated badly at my jobs. That I'd baked bread once and hidden it on the top shelf because I didn't want to share any with him. That, furious at him, I'd deliberately over-watered my favorite orchid until it died.

Why would I have a freaking wonderful marriage with Stein? He frowned. “You youngsters. I can never understand you. Back in my day, you didn't dare talk about divorce that easily! When you marry, you marry for life.” “Which is why you're miserably married to your wife.” “You —” I turned my back to him and started walking towards the first building complex. The older man shouted words at me, but I ignored him. I guess that would be the straw that broke the camel's back. I doubt he would wait for me after this.

The Foster family had one ironclad rule: there was no such thing as divorce. Marriage only ended in death. Everyone envied Karina Jackson for marrying into one of the wealthiest families in the country and living a life of privilege. But only Karina knew the truth. After seven years of marriage, all she'd ever gotten from her husband, Mark Foster, were cold, automated replies. Then one day, the daughter of the woman who had destroyed her family walked into her therapy office. That was when Karina finally woke up. Mark had never been cold by nature. He simply didn't love her. Even her own son took the other woman's hand and asked her the cruelest question of all. “Can Aunt Serena be

"Cammy, I wanted to tell you many times, but I just didn't know how to tell you. That woman and I met at the club, and we had a one-night stand. She came back a month later with a positive pregnancy result in her hand claiming that the baby was mine. I disagreed, flared up and told her to get an abortion, but my grandmother was against it.
