After Divorce, My Ex-Husband Lost His Mind

The photography studio had just been established, and the very first job they received was to document Raymond and Winona Underhill's divorce proceedings. Her assistant said quietly, "Violet, Raymond... is that Raymond? How about... maybe we refund this job..." Violet's fingertips unconsciously dug into her palm. "The studio has just gotten started. We need money. We're taking this job, and I'll shoot it myself." At the courthouse entrance, Violet and her two assistants waited under the hundred-and-four-degree heat for three hours before a pink sports car came driving down the main road. A black Phantom followed close behind it. Suddenly, the Phantom accelerated with a shriek of brakes and forced the sports car to a stop. Violet's pupils contracted. Right before her eyes, her husband Raymond yanked the startled, stunned Winona out of the driver's seat and pinned her against the car door, kissing her hard. "You want to divorce me just because you're jealous of Vivi? Winnie, you're getting more and more disobedient. I went to a lot of trouble to marry you. There's no way I'm letting you go. Tell me yourself, what punishment should you get for making a scene over divorce?" Winona was so dazed from the kiss that her face had flushed red. "Every time I bring up divorce, add one more hour..." Raymond let out a low chuckle. "You couldn't even handle four hours last time, could you? You even passed out. Tonight, I'll have the doctor ready in advance... As long as you behave, I'll make you the happiest woman in the world. A divorce shoot? Today, I'm turning it into a romantic photo session for the two of us." With every word he spoke, Violet's face turned a shade paler. The moment he turned away, she shoved the camera into her assistant's hands and staggered into the restroom. The composure she had forced herself to maintain finally shattered completely. As tears and cold water hit her face together, she was reminded of the rain on the day she had first met Raymond. It had been this cold too. Back then, she had only been a novice photographer, while he was already the CEO of a publicly listed company worth hundreds of billions. Mistaking her for someone secretly taking photos of him while she was framing a shot, he had smashed her camera straight into the rain. She had run everywhere, reporting it to the police and fighting for her rights. Faced with a million-dollar check, she had insisted on nothing more than an apology. Unexpectedly, Raymond had found her special and started pursuing her with near madness. Luxury gifts arrived without end, and every month the city lit up with fireworks and giant-screen love confessions for her... But what truly made Violet fall for him was that when she went into the mountains to photograph the stars, he stayed by her side the entire time, swatting mosquitoes for her; When she attended a photography exhibition and was snubbed, he bought every one of her works at an inflated price just to back her up; When someone plagiarized her work, he hired the best lawyers in the world and was willing to pay any price to help her win the lawsuit... For six years of marriage, he had treated her exactly as he always had. She had once believed they would go on being happy like that forever. Until the day she saw with her own eyes that new model who was always hanging around him change clothes right in front of Raymond and ask, "Mr. Morrow, which outfit do you think looks better on me?" He had smiled lightly. "You look better without one." She had smashed up the company on the spot and insisted on divorcing him. Raymond had locked her away in Evermont Estate and tangled with her in bed until they broke six beds. With a voice already gone hoarse, Violet had cried out, "Raymond, I want a divorce!" Sitting in a haze of smoke, Raymond had smiled with almost deranged intensity. "I can't live without you. Unless I die on top of you, don't even think about leaving me in this lifetime." Seeing that morbid, obsessive look in his eyes, Violet had known that Raymond truly loved her, so much that he would even throw away his life for her. When the very last tear had finally run dry, she decided to give him one more chance. "Break it off with Winona."
