Kaiden's POV
Maybe if she would have said something. But she acted like I'm not there. Fine. I moved to the marriage certificate and signed it, then I threw the pen onto the table.
"Are we done?" I asked.
They said yes, so I rushed out of the building and sat in the car. I looked out of the window in a daze. I couldn't believe it was happening to me. There was only one thing I knew: I was still in love with her.
I told myself I wouldn't soften. Not even if it was about her. She f*cked up. She could take the consequences. As I was thinking about it, I got another thought on my mind. Till today I told myself I have to endure being with a woman who was chosen by my father as I signed the contract, but that woman's identity changed my plans. She is going to stay with me. I thought I would never agree to divorce. No. I always wanted her to be my wife that day I got her, and I had no intention of letting her go. I thought when the time comes she would give birth to my children just like it was planned, but she would suffer, just like I did. She was cheating on me, so I was going to make her watch and hear me with other women. I wanted to make her regret everything that she has done to me.
Serena's POV
My heart pounded fast. I felt it wanted to jump out of my chest. I saw him. He stood next to me, and I had no courage to look at him. When we entered the room, I had a look just for a moment. I saw his expression. He was still the most handsome man on Earth. He was not that young boy anymore, and he was so elegant. I always told myself even if he would have needed me, I'd have refused him because he deserved a worthy and healthy woman, not an ill one like me, but thinking about that still hurt me. I always loved him. But it was a love that was inside me quietly during the years. To see him again made that feeling unbearable. As Geoff led me out, I started panicking. My demons said stop, and I couldn't move.
