Hated him with a new growing passion.

When he was the one who asked for the divorce, the one who brought his mistress home regardless of her opinions as his wife, the one who said he'd rather die than marry her, how the hell could he do all that to her last night? In order not to hurt the baby, she dropped all her pride to beg him yet he still cared about his feelings only. And after all this, he stepped out of bed before she could wake up as if nothing happened.

As if to confirm her suspicions, Daniel reached into his brown briefcase and pulled out a stack of papers, offering them to her. "I'm here to deliver the divorce papers."

"You're welcome, Mrs. Bryce. And...there was one more thing."

Leonica felt being stabbed hard in her chest the moment she recognized what the pills lying on his palm were.
