And in the background, I caught the sound of Keanu's smug, taunting laughter curling through the line.
The next second, Keira hung up on me.
All the joy and excitement I had felt only moments ago crumbled into nothingness.
In that instant, whatever bond we once shared was completely shattered.
When the old butler heard of it, he quietly ordered an investigation into Keanu, intending to help me teach him a harsh lesson.
But what they uncovered was far worse; Keanu's life was riddled with deep, irreparable flaws.
If Keira insisted on staying with him, she would be walking straight into ruin.
Even so, warning her was pointless.
She simply thought I was maliciously slandering him.
Forget it, no words can awaken those who refuse to listen, and no mercy can save someone hellbent on their own destruction.
I had already signed the divorce papers; from this moment on, her life and her choices no longer concerned me.
I was lost in old memories when the shrill ring of my phone pulled me back. The caller was the old butler.
