"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

I thought I might find something useful from Samantha and her mother, but instead, they only made me angrier. Their cruel and vicious nature was on full display, and it was hard to imagine how Ash had survived living with them.

They said Ash in a coma for two years, which meant his suffering didn't start just now—it had been going on since the accident.

My mind raced with questions. What exactly happened that night? Was he really just drunk and speeding? Was he reckless enough to kill two innocent people, or was there more to the story that hadn't been discovered yet? The uncertainty gnawed at me.

I wanted to ask him about that night, but I was stuck in a dilemma. If I brought it up, Ash would question how I knew about the accident. And then there was the issue of the couple he supposedly killed—my parents. How could I ask him about it without holding him accountable for their deaths? It felt like an impossible situation.
