Blinded By Love
After stepping off the stage from receiving my award, I was still in my formal attire as I made my way to see Cedric.
Once I took the divorce papers with me, I'd sever all ties and leave everything in the past.
When I entered the prison, I spotted him immediately.
He looked like a shell of the man he once was, barely holding on to the last remnants of his sanity.
When he saw me, tears streamed down his face.
"Is the divorce agreement finalized?" I asked.
Those words crushed the last bit of hope he had.
"Can we talk, just like we used to? You don't have to be this extreme. Your company is about to go public, and you have a bright future ahead," he pleaded.
