Chapter 27:

“The divorce papers are signed. In my eyes, we’re already divorced. Consider me, your ex-wife, non-existent now. Feel free to shower all your affection on Verena. I know you’re eager to marry her, but for Harold’s sake, you’ll have to wait a bit longer. You’ve waited three years already; surely another month won’t be too hard for you?”

Lucas squinted, his voice low and raspy. “It’s good that you think this way. We have nothing to do with each other now.”

“Obviously!” Belinda snapped back with a cold laugh before abruptly ending the call.

She slumped onto the sofa, her expression dark and her spirit sour.

She had no desire to talk to or see Lucas anymore. If she could, she would have rushed to finalize the divorce immediately, severing their ties completely. She hoped that by cutting all connections with Lucas, she might finally free herself from the grip he had on her emotions.

Despite her outward indifference, Belinda was anything but calm.
