Damien and I had been together for nine years, during which we divorced ten times.
The eleventh time, he was helping his mistress pick out an engagement ring.
"The young lady is pregnant, so we're putting on a show. Eight months from now, I'll remarry you."
"In the meantime, move out. I'll have meals delivered to you three times a day."
"Also, go get a postpartum care certification. Serenity is delicate and can't handle the hardships of childcare."
I held the divorce papers, nodding obediently.
As I was about to leave, I overheard his friend mocking him.
"Damien, you're something else. You've practically trained your sister-in-law to be a dog."
Damien boasted proudly, "That's nothing. Melody is such a cheap whore."
"Even if I don't remarry her, she'd still willingly help me raise the kid as my mistress."
I remained silent, quietly sending a message to the man on the other end of my phone.
"Got the divorce papers. When can we get married?"

Gentle Dissolution

Damien is the youngest son of the Harrington family, raised with a silver spoon in his mouth.


The once fearless boy now only has one person he truly dreads - his older brother.


While Mr. Harrington can be stern, his advanced age has softened him, making him prone to spoiling the younger generation.


He never goes easy on Damien when it comes to discipline.


When Dashiell was stateside, Damien and I shared a tender period together.


Terrified of his big brother, Damien didn't dare step out of line.


Later, as the Harrington family's influence grew, Dashiell volunteered to take charge of their overseas business.


Without that restraint, Damien gradually revealed his true colors.


He found me boring and old-fashioned, becoming infatuated with the young and beautiful Serenity.


Time and again, he trampled on my dignity.


Now, Damien cowers before Dashiell like a mouse before a cat.
