A Second Chance with the CEO After Divorce

Chapter 13:

Kristopher sat just ten feet away from Belinda, the distance seemingly magnified by the cool detachment on his face, as if they were in separate universes.

Belinda, gazing at his impassive expression, forced a smile. “Yes, I’ve made my decision,” she affirmed.

Throughout their three-year marriage, Belinda had often contemplated leaving him, yet she struggled to sever the ties.

She once clung to naive hopes concerning him.

Belinda had believed that if there was even a shred of humanity in Kristopher, he might recognize her virtues and fall for her.

Now, having relinquished her illusions, she looked back, deeming herself foolish for squandering her youth and vitality on someone who had never genuinely acknowledged her presence.

Kristopher remained oblivious to the despair in Belinda’s eyes.

Distracted by his phone, he retorted, “You secretly ended the pregnancy, fled our home, flaunted another man before me, and now you’re demanding a divorce… What are you trying to gain with all this drama?”

His words tightened a knot in Belinda’s heart.

Clasping her hands together tightly, she responded, “Do you really think I’ve gone through all this just to gain something from you?”

“Isn’t that the case?”
