Unknown Divorce Revelation Beyond Time

Monday morning, Charlene went to work as usual.

Her schedule was packed, shuttling between Axiom Flux Technologies and

PrimeStar, barely getting a moment to catch her breath.

By Tuesday evening, as she stood in the elevator at the end of another

exhausting day, Charlene glanced at the date on her phone and let her gaze drop,

lost in thought.

Stewart, equally drained from his own workload, suddenly seemed to recall

something. "Tomorrow's the last day of the waiting period, isn't it?" he asked, his

voice low.

Charlene slipped her phone back into her bag. "That's right," she replied.

After so many years entangled with Thorne, it was all coming to an official end.

loved him for years made this outcome bittersweet.

Still, even the hardest things eventually pass.

Once the divorce was finalized, Charlene could truly begin again.

say much more.
