Chapter 76 - Till Death Do Us Part

Orion’s POV

I stood there, frozen, as Ava’s words hung in the air. ‘I want a divorce’.

For a moment, I didn’t know how to process it. Divorce? The word echoed in my head, loud and jarring, as though someone had just shot a bullet in a silent room. I blinked at her, trying to read the expression on her face, but it was cold—unreadable.

This isn’t what she wants. That was my first thought. It didn’t make sense. Ava had been the one to fight for this marriage, to dig her claws into my father’s empire, and now… now she wanted to walk away?

I forced myself to breathe. “What did you just say?” I asked, my voice low and dangerous.

Her gaze didn’t waver. “You heard me. I want out, Orion. I want a divorce.”
