Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Thomas looked up. "You want a divorce because the Warren family mistreats you, Barrett treats you poorly, and there are assassins threatening your life. It's not because I've returned, right?"

Viola stepped forward suddenly, and wrapped her arms around him. Thomas was startled at her actions. He pushed her away, and stumbled back several steps.

Seeing his reaction, Viola froze for a moment. Then, tears streamed down her face, her heart breaking. "Do I disgust you? It seems that I do."

Thomas looked at her, his emotions simmering just beneath the surface. "I'll look into what's happening at Valor Estate."

"I don't need you to investigate!" Viola's voice rose, teetering on the edge of desperation. "What are you going to investigate? Don't you trust me? All I ask is this: if I get a divorce, will you still want me? Do you despise me or not? Just answer that question." Faced with her aggressive questioning, Thomas took a deep breath. He opened his mouth several times, but couldn't find the words. His heart was a tumult of confusion, and he didn't want to make any promises until things were clearer.

However, he couldn't shake the guilt he carried toward her. After a long silence, he finally murmured, "I don't despise you. I don't have the right to."

Viola's tear-filled eyes brightened. "With that, I can rest easy. Wait for me, Thomas."

With that, she turned and walked away.

Thomas wanted to call her back, but recalled her earlier words. The attack on the Warren family couldn't be simple. It was a matter of life and death. Julia and Yvonne were gone, and Viola could be in danger too.
