Once I had recovered,I returned to the villa—not to reconcile,but to pack up and hand Lennon the divorce papers myself.
The moment I stepped through the door,I saw him sitting in the living room.His eyes widened,stunned at first,then something like joy flickered across his face,but it quickly hardened into the cold,guarded indifference.
"So you finally decided to show up?"he said,voice sharp."Good.We still haven’t settled things—especially your little betrayal.Might as well deal with it now."
I did not bother with a reply.I just tossed the divorce agreement on the table in front of him.
"There’s nothing left to deal with.Sign it.I’m only here to grab my things."
His eyes dropped to the papers.He did not even read them before his expression twisted with fury.In one sudden motion,he shot up and ripped the divorce agreement to shreds.The pieces fluttered to the floor like falling ash.
"Meredith,have you lost your mind?"he gritted his teeth and his voice trembled with disbelief."You think I’m just going to let you walk away from me?"
I scoffed and brushed past him,heading straight to the bedroom.I did not hesitate and began to pack my things.
