After the Last Tear: Rising from the Ashes of a Broken Marriage By Cassila K

Chapter 5

Kate almost jumped out of her skin with joy when she heard Elaine was already filing divorce papers. Now that Alistair had barged in, she was ready to let him have it.

"Who's getting divorced? Well, obviously it's—"
