"Do you love...me?" My eyes stung as I asked my so-called husband. 

"No," he said quietly. "I don't love you. I don't need to love you. I just need to take care of you as I promised your father before he died."

My world crumbled down on me. 

His words hit me like a physical blow. I staggered back, the world spinning around me. "S-So that's it? This whole time, you've been with me out of some sense of duty?"

Elijah looked away, unable to meet my gaze. "Your father asked me to look after you, to make sure you were happy and safe. That's what I've been trying to do."

"Fine then. Let's get a divorce!" I announced, loud and clear.

Ash always believed he could make his cold and vicious hubby fall in love with him. 
However, after three years of marriage, Ash received only betrayal from Elijah. Elijah never loved him and was only with Ash because he promised Ash's father that he would take care of him after his death. Ash, heartbroken and sorrowful, decided to quit his marriage. 

However, when he handed Elijah the divorce papers, he ripped them pieces and pushed Ash against the wall. 

"You have lost your mind if you think I will ever divorce you." Elijah glared, but Ash was unaffected by his rage. However, once Ash had left him for good, Elijah realised how deeply he loved him, and not just because of his responsibility to Ash. So he resolved to go after Ash and bring him back. 

Amidst this, he came to know that Ash was the one who caused the accident four years ago in which Elijah lost both of his parents. He had investigated this case for years but now that he found out it was Ash, he was devastated. 

"Come back before I lose my mind and do something you will regret." 

But can an emotionless and frigid man who has never learned to express affection or feelings approach the love of his life while he conflicted between taking his revenge and loving Ash?

[BL] Dear Hushand, I want divorce

While Elijah was engrossed in a meeting, I found myself sitting in his leather chair, surrounded by stacks of paperwork. I tried to argue with him that I didn't have to sit here but he forced me sit on the boss's chair. So, I shyly agreed.

Suddenly, the door swung open and in walked Vanessa, her sharp eyes narrowing the moment she spotted me.

I fought back an eye roll as soon as I saw her.

"Hello, Vanessa," I greeted with forced politeness, trying to maintain a neutral tone.

"Hello," she replied icily, all traces of warmth absent from her voice. "I didn't realise you were…making yourself at home here."

I raised an eyebrow, leaning back in the comfortable chair. "Just lending a hand while Elijah is occupied."

She crossed her arms, unimpressed by my explanation. "You seem quite at ease for someone who is just helping out."
