I had no interest in small talk, so I got straight to the point.
“Thanks for the compliment, but let’s discuss the divorce. I may not have earned as much as you, but I dedicated years of my life to our marriage. I hope you take that into account. I’m not greedy. I just want what’s rightfully mine.”
At the mention of divorce, Quintus fell silent.
After a long pause, he finally looked at me. “Do you really want to get a divorce? I thought by now you’d have cooled down. I love

you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have married you. Haven’t I been good to you all these years?”
I opened my phone and clicked into Vanessa’s Twitter. There were plenty of posts subtly showcasing her relationship. I pointed to
each one.
“This hand is yours, right? On my birthday, you said you had to go on a business trip, but you took Vanessa to the mountaintop to
watch the meteor shower while I stayed up all night, unable to reach you.”
I let out a mocking laugh and went on, “And this necklace–you gave it to her, didn’t you? You told me it was for an important client. To help you, I handed over the emerald necklace my grandmother left me. After my family went bankrupt, it was the most valuable thing we had. I gave it to you without hesitation, and you turned around and gave it to Vanessa.”
They had even gone to Wisland to see the aurora.
That was something I had dreamed of doing with him when I was young.
However, Quintus always told me that they were just friends and that nothing physical had ever happened between them.
I never imagined that one day he would be here, begging me not to divorce him.
He said he loved me. He claimed Vanessa had tricked him.
According to him, she was the one who seduced him.
