017. Getting Divorced With Determination

The three years she had quietly devoted herself to him now felt like a slap in the face, thrown back at her by Adam. The pain was sharp, yet it snapped her fully awake.

The hatred in her eyes deepened as she fixed her gaze on him. Her voice was steady but laced with a chilling, decisive tone.

"Adam Jones, hurry up and sign the papers!"

With those words, she turned on her heel, straightening her back, and walked away with purposeful strides. Her silhouette, fading into the distance, was as proud and aloof as a peacock that looked down on the world.

Adam watched her retreating figure, his gaze narrowing, deepening with an intensity he couldn't quite shake. The raw resentment she had shown when demanding him to sign the papers hit him hard, reverberating through his chest.

She wanted a divorce. There was no mistaking it. Never before had Adam been so certain of something.

Adam stayed single, never entangling with any other woman.
