Chapter 1

Christiana’s POV

The door to the lawyer’s office closed behind me with a soft click. I had barely taken a step inside when the man behind the desk looked up from his papers, his expression serious and firm.

“Mrs. Davis, please take a seat. Your husband will join us shortly, but there are matters we need to discuss first,” he said, gesturing to a chair in front of his imposing mahogany desk.

Curiosity ate at me as I settled into the chair. What could possibly be so urgent that Alex had summoned me here, to a lawyer’s office of all places? I watched the lawyer intently, waiting for him to continue.

He adjusted his glasses and cleared his throat. “Mrs. Davis, your husband, Alex, has proposed a divorce.

My breath caught in my throat, and I stared at him, stunned. “Good heavens, a divorce?” I managed to say, my voice was shaky.

The lawyer nodded, his face was of professional detachment. “I know this comes as a surprise to you, but that’s what Alex

wants.”

I could feel my heart pounding in my chest, each beat was of shock and disbelief that coursed through me. Divorce? Alex and I had our problems, sure, but I never imagined it would come to this.

The lawyer continued, detailing Alex’s grievances like he was reading from a script. “He has cited several reasons for this decision. Firstly, he feels there is a disconnection in your communication. He also mentioned disagreements on financial matters and the future direction of your lives together.”
