The news left Owen thunderstruck, his mind reeling and legs nearly buckling beneath him.
He couldn't believe it. He refused to believe that Jane would divorce him.
The woman who had once said, "I only want you for the rest of my life." The woman who had borne him five children. How could she truly bear to leave him?
As if losing all grip on reason, he lunged forward and grabbed the officer by the collar.
"This has to be a mistake! How could my wife divorce me? She bore me five children! You must have this wrong! It's impossible!"
"Mr. Wright, calm down!" The staff member sternly checked his outburst.
"We've verified everything. Control your emotions."
"Give her back!" Owen howled in despair, his voice ragged with sobs.
"I can't lose her! Give her back! Please..."
Deaf to the staff
