By lunchtime, Viz's fingers were almost worn out from repeatedly dialing his wife's number, but she deliberately did not answer his calls. If someone asked why he was doing what he was doing, he wouldn't have a sensible answer, because he was confused himself. Just a month ago, he was very sure that this was what he wanted, to remove his wife from his life permanently. He was certain that there was nothing he wanted more than the annulment. But why did his heart skip a beat when he saw his wife moving away from him? Why did his jaw clench at the thought of another man wanting to get her attention? Especially that senator’s son, and that arrogant lawyer from the party. Gentle knocks made him turn towards the door. He was inside his home office and decided not to go to the office that day.
