Forbidden Passion

Chapter 611 Goodbye Forever

After dropping those words, Theodore got up and bounced without a second thought, not even glancing back.

Phoebe just sat there on the couch, her nerves slowly unwinding.

She'd been waiting forever for this day, and now that she was finally cutting ties with Theodore, she felt a weird mix of relief and deep sadness.

Phoebe tossed the file folder back on the coffee table, feeling a wave of emptiness wash over her.

She thought, 'Phoebe, you finally got what you wanted, so why aren't you happy? You wanted to leave him for so long, and now that your wish has come true, you should be happy.'

"Ms. Ziegler, Mr. Reynolds said that since your marriage started at West Mountain Villas, it should end here. He left the villa to you, to do with as you please."

Lawton stood beside Phoebe, all business. After speaking, he gave a slight bow and turned to leave.

Phoebe sat on the couch for what felt like forever, the big villa feeling as empty as her heart.

After an unknown amount of time, Phoebe grabbed the file folder and went upstairs. She stashed it in the safe in the study, then headed to her bedroom to pack her stuff. In less than half an hour, she was out of there with her luggage. The next morning at nine, Phoebe showed up at Vital Records Office. Couples, all smiles, walked in and came out looking even happier.

Phoebe could barely remember the scene when she and Theodore came to get their marriage license. She sat alone at the divorce window.

At nine-thirty, she heard steady footsteps at the entrance. She didn't need to turn around to know it was Theodore.

Soon, a pair of shiny black leather shoes appeared in her view, along with a crisp mint scent and Theodore's deep voice above her head. "Let's go."
