Rachel POV
For the first time, I felt a profound emptiness within me. It wasn't the kind of emptiness that came from boredom or a lack of purpose. It was a deeper, more hollow feeling that seemed to echo through every corner of my being. What struck me as surreal was that it had only been two weeks since I'd last seen Aderemi, yet it felt like an eternity since I'd laid eyes on him.
Two weeks had passed since the divorce was finalized, two weeks since I'd left behind the life I once wanted with Aderemi. It had been a torturous fortnight. Initially, I'd thought walking away was the right decision, that I wanted to be free from the drama that had consumed my life. But now, sitting alone in my bed, I felt an overwhelming emptiness that had taken up residence within me.
