Evander paused in the middle of buttoning his suit, his brows knitting together. “And what if I say there isn’t?”

“Do you really think I’d believe you?”

He let out a quiet laugh. “So if I admit there is, would you agree to it?”

She stood there, refusing to meet his eyes.

He could see she only wanted to get as far away from him as possible. There was a flicker of restraint in his gaze as he reached for her cold hand, holding it gently. “See? You wouldn’t say yes anyway, so why even ask? I’m telling you, there are no conditions. You don’t have to believe me.”

Charlotte pulled her hand away. “What’s the point of all this, Evander?”

His expression tightened for a split second, then he masked it, his tone returning to calm. “Charlotte, I owe you. I’ll make it up to you.”

She blinked back tears, her voice hoarse. “Do you really think I care about your so–called compensation? Will it bring my parents back?”

Her composure suddenly shattered. She pounded her fists against his chest, her sobs spilling out. “All I’ve ever wanted is a divorce. Why can’t you just let me go? Do you think I haven’t suffered enough? Are you still punishing me for marrying you and driving away the woman you loved all those years ago?”
