A Love Without Anchor
"Sir, the divorce agreement from the safe."
On their fifth wedding anniversary, in a dimly-lit restaurant, Xavier Hampton's secretary placed the divorce papers in front of him.
Five years ago, on the day Elizabeth Eaton and he registered their marriage—
She had loved him deeply. So deeply that she had prepared the divorce agreement in advance, signed her name, and locked it away in the safe. If she ever betrayed him, all he had to do was sign.
Xavier picked up the pen and swiftly signed his name.
Across from him, the empty seat seemed heavier than any presence. His gaze dimmed.
"Send the divorce papers to Attorney Harvey," he said, his voice calm, almost detached. "Then book a hotel and have the wedding venue set up in advance."
The secretary hesitated for a moment before carefully asking, "Whose names should I write as the bride and groom?"
"Elizabeth Eaton and Connor Walker."
