There was a hint of a smile on Hardin’s face as he answered. "Surprised? This company is mine now, Melanie. You signed it over along with everything else." Melanie staggered backwards in shock. Dear God, what has she done? How could this be happening? "Here, darling sis, take a good look.” Natalia slid the divorce papers from yesterday across the table.

Although the $30,000 was a drop in the ocean compared to what I had invested in the Young family, it was enough to start a new life. I changed my phone number, completely severing ties with the past. With the money, I planned a long trip for myself. My first stop was Switzerland. The azure sky and the majestic, pristine snow-capped mountains brought an unprecedented purification and solace to my soul.

"What's wrong with what I'm saying? It's the truth! Thank goodness you two had a prenup made before the wedding. Otherwise, it would've been a nightmare sorting out your assets in the divorce."

As long as it's within my ability, I'll do my best to satisfy your demands. "I just hope we can end things on a good note. In the future… maybe we can even remain friends."

“You removed my access. You removed my decision-making power. You slowly erased my role in something I co-built with you until I was no longer part of it in anything but name.” Her breathing deepened slightly. “And somewhere in that process, I stopped being your partner.” Silence pressed in again. Then she continued softly. “That is when I filed for divorce.” Matthew’s eyes dropped briefly to the paper in his hand again. The word divorce no longer felt abstract. It felt like something that had already been lived through without his awareness. Ava spoke again, almost as an afterthought, though it was anything but casual. “But you never signed it.” Matthew remained still for a long time.

"Please… Please just forgive me this once. Give me one more chance, alright? The three of us can be a happy family together. "From now on, I'll only listen to you. I'll never trust another woman again..." He dropped to his knees in the pouring rain, stripped of every ounce of dignity. "My child has nothing to do with you, Oliver. I won't hate you either. From the day you made me sign the divorce agreement, we were history." Oliver stayed on his knees outside my gates all night long. Maeve, on the other hand, packed up her belongings and slipped away in the dead of night, vanishing just as abruptly as she had appeared, leaving Oliver with nothing but a mountain of debt.

Hadn't he already done enough? It didn't even seem like he remembered that this was what we had agreed to discuss tonight. "The apartment?" Nathan replied. I can't give it back to you, Ariana." His words instantly made me furious. The apartment was the whole reason I came here, and now he was telling me he can't give it to me. "What? What are you talking about? Where will I live after..." I voice trailed off. After our divorce became official. "There's something more important we need to discuss tonight. I have another proposal for you," Nathan said.

She closed her eyes for a moment, collected herself, and spoke calmly. "Lucian, once we're divorced, you can finally give your lover a legitimate place in your life. All I want is 3%—it won't hurt you. In fact, it'll probably make things easier for you." She locked eyes with him. Her voice was unwavering as she continued, "Let me disappear from your life. Isn't that what you've always wanted? Well, now I'm giving it to you."

This was the last thing I said before leaving. Now I am back, divorced. I knew for sure they were going to try to rub it in my face, and without Adam here as my date, it was only going to give them more reason to talk. But, when you've lived with snakes for long enough, you grow a thick skin, and their venoms no longer do you any damage.

“Oh? So if you had known before the divorce, you wouldn’t have gone through with it?” I hadn’t expected her to ask that. The question was typical for her character—sharp and provocative as ever. I thought carefully before giving a firm answer. “I still would have divorced him.” After a pause, I added, “And there are no ‘what ifs.’ While our divorce was entangled with all sorts of melodramatic misunderstandings, at its core, it stemmed from communication issues between us. I wasn’t entirely blameless either.” ***** Alicia’s POV: I saw the complete release in her eyes and knew she had truly come to terms with it. This was completely different from the Scarlett of the past three years.

Known for spreading acute gossip all across the community and the worst part? People believed her. “I-I don't know what you're talking about,” I lied, turning to the cashier as I started to offload my goods from the trolley, into the counter. She nudged me jokingly, the corners of her eyes wrinkling as she insisted. “It's you! I'm sure of it!” She eyed me, placing me under such heavy scrutiny. “Look at you! The divorce must have had you in a chokehold! That's unfortunate! Then again, no mother-in-law wants a wife who can't bear a child, especially for the Beta!”
