“Sura, you’re disappointing me more than I ever imagined!”
“When you filed for divorce, you should’ve understood that.”
“Are you trying to provoke me?”
“Sura, you know damn well that my divorce from you was only temporary, a necessary step.”
“A divorce is a divorce.
Turning my back on him, I made my way to the sofa and casually picked up the divorce papers from the table, flipping to a page and reading aloud, “According to the agreement, this house now belongs to me. I’d prefer it if

you didn’t show up here again.”
After a long pause, he let out a bitter laugh.
“Lucy, you’re joking, right? There’s no way you actually want to go this far. Stop pretending to be so indifferent.”
“No, I’m not joking. I want nothing to do with you ever again.”
“Don’t talk nonsense. I know how you feel about me. You’ve always loved me, and you can’t live without me, not to mention we still have a child together.”
The child…
To William, the child was my weakness, the last tether that could keep me bound to him.
We had been married for five years, and I

had never been able to have a child. When I finally became pregnant, I nurtured the child with care, carefully selecting what I ate and drank, constantly talking to William about our future as a family.
In his mind, that child was my everything.
But what he didn’t know was that the child was already gone.
“Don’t bring up the child again.”
“I know you’ve been hurt… Here’s the thing: I won’t have a grand wedding with Sura. After giving her child an identity as the heir, i will remarry you.”
Before I could respond, Sura’s face morphed with disbelief,k.
Just a few days ago, she had flaunted her

extravagant wedding plans–over a million dollars for her dress, drones soaring in the sky, fireworks exploding in celebration, the scene resembling a battlefield victory. There were even gangsters wearing masks, holding bottles of champagne, dancing in the
streets.
Now, just one casual sentence from William had shattered all of that.
Sura bit her lip, her eyes rimmed with red as tears began to fall. “It’s all my fault… I shouldn’t have come to bother you, I shouldn’t have caused any misunderstandings between you and Lucy… If she doesn’t want us to get married, then… I’ll let it go.”
Her shoulders trembled as she bowed her head, playing the victim perfectly.

William frowned, his gaze filled with sympathy as he reached out to grasp her hand. “Sura, stop overthinking. You’re carrying my child. The wedding won’t be cancelled. I’ll make sure you give birth to this child with honor.”
“…No!” Sura suddenly covered her face, her voice trembling. “This child was an accident. It shouldn’t even exist… I’ll get rid of it.”
With that, she ran out of the room, crying.
William stood frozen for a moment, his face twisting with panic. He quickly bolted after her, shouting, “Sura! Stop!”
The room fell into a tense silence, and I remained standing in the center, unmoved as I watched the door slam shut behind him.
Minutes passed before I heard William’s

I stared at the screen, my expression empty as I scrolled past, indifferent to the message.
Just as I was about to exit, another message from the same unknown number appeared. I thought it was another taunt from Sura, but when I read it, my face went pale.
