Our Love in Ruins
“Don’t think you can use old memories to make me forgive you. I don’t hate you. My love for you has long faded in the haze of your affair with Serena.
“Derrick, I don’t love you anymore. Let’s get a divorce.”
I handed him the divorce papers from the bedside table.
“Sign them, and we can go our separate ways.”
…
To my surprise, he dropped to his knees with a thud, tears shimmering in his eyes. “Sweetheart, what will it take for you not to leave me?”
“Don’t waste your breath. Either you sign, or I’ll hand over Serena’s evidence to the police and the hospital right now. You choose.”
“I’ll turn the evidence in too, but after she has the baby, okay? That’s my child, after all.”
