Divorce Clock Ticking by Evangeline Moss

Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Three Years

Angela Sinclair was in the midst of selecting a third-anniversary gift for Kenneth Sinclair when a message from Jennifer Lewis arrived unexpectedly.

A sudden onslaught of a dozen suggestive photos caught Angela off guard, leaving her momentarily stunned, her face draining of color.

In each image, Kenneth and her twin sister, Jennifer, took center stage.

They were sometimes in an embrace, sometimes sharing a kiss. The pictures had one thing in common - Kenneth's gaze towards Jennifer, brimming with unmistakable tenderness. Despite Angela caring for Kenneth for three years, he had never bestowed Angela with such affectionate looks.

[Familiar, isn't it?]

Angela massaged her temples as scenes from the photos began to faintly stir in her memory. Before she could fully recollect, another message from Jennifer appeared:

[Sis, this house is one of your wedding gifts! Don't you recognize it?]

[It seems that Kenneth has never again let you set foot in this place, save for your wedding night.]

[Because this house was prepared for me. If it weren't for his grandma's interference on the day you two got married, you would never have had the chance to come over!]

Each word from Jennifer felt like a piercing thorn, deeply embedding itself in Angela's heart.

Her hands trembled as she tightly clutched her phone, typing slowly:

[Jennifer, please stop sending me these photos. Whatever between you and Kenneth is already in the past.]

Jennifer replied: [Huh. Is that what you believe?]

[I've been back from abroad for two months now. Kenneth has never come home during this period, has he?]

[Well, during his absence, he would come to this house to meet me every day after work. Do you know how he described you when we were sleeping together? 'Like a dead body,' he said.] [How could you be such a failure? If I were you, I would already kill myself.]

[You'd better seize the opportunity to leave him when your old times still matter to him. Otherwise, you'll only embarrass yourself!]

Angela couldn't recall how she made it back home until the sound of the fingerprint lock snapping shut at the door brought her back to reality.
