That news struck Minerva like a bolt of lightning. It took her a long time to recover.

What did he mean when he said that they were still husband and wife according to the law?

Minerva felt that her heart was about to stop beating.

Maddox stood up and quickly closed the distance between them with the strides of his long legs. Stopping before her, he reached out to touch her forehead. His voice was soft and charming.

"In the past five years, we didn't actually get divorced."

Minerva suddenly raised her head and looked at him while breathing heavily.

How could that be?

"Do you think that you can decide whether you want to be my woman?"

Speaking of that, Maddox's eyes darkened. Minerva couldn't comprehend the distant look of his eyes. He took a step closer, reached out to hold her shoulders, then he leaned closer and whispered in her ear.

"I won't let you get away so easily. I won't be merciful. You've always been my woman and you have no right to escape from me."

Minerva was stunned for a brief moment. Then, she lunged back and shouted angrily.

"Why don't I have the right? We have lived apart for five years. Even if I can't get your consent, I can still divorce you!"

Her voice was a little loud, attracting the eyes of the people around her. Maddox didn't care. Even if others were standing in front of him and watching them, it did not irk him.

Minerva would usually be concerned about that. However, Maddox's words had struck a nerve, so she replied with extreme anger. At that moment, she didn't care about how the spectators would perceive her. Hearing her say the word "divorce" was an unpleasant experience for Maddox.

He took a step forward and grabbed her arm.

"If a divorce is as simple as you think, you wouldn't have remained as my wife in the past five years."

Upon hearing that, Minerva's eyes slowly widened. "You're controlling me?"
