Beyond the Divorce Chapter 37 An Urgent Call from Home
The call shook me to the core. I hadn't visited my hometown in two years due to Ava's age and Matthew's packed schedule. He wasn’t comfortable with me traveling alone with Ava, which was why I hadn't been back for so long.I held the phone, feeling dazed. A wave of guilt washed over me.Although I was the only daughter, I grew apart from my parents after college. I turned to them only in tough times, but I had neglected them in the past couple of years.Assuming my parents were healthy, I cared for Matthew’s parents more than my own. However, the word “stroke” changed everything.I felt panic, realizing what a terrible daughter I had been. They raised me, but I had done nothing for them.My parents had waited for me without complaint. How could I tell them that my marriage was crumbling and that the family I had devoted myself to was falling apart?There was no time to dwell. I rushed to Matthew's office, almost in tears, and blurted out, "Honey, please book me a flight. I need t
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 38 Canceled Flight
Feeling disheartened, I entered the gate and walked to the boarding area. In times like this, I wanted a partner to go home with me, as did my parents.I tried to console myself that the urgent phone call was why he had to leave. I called Ivanna to let her know where I was. Then I settled into the airport lounge while waiting for boarding. Matthew had only been to my hometown three times. The first time was the year we graduated. He came to meet my parents after our relationship became official.The second time, we wanted to start a business but did not have enough capital to get started. We went to them for help.The third time was when we mortgaged my parents' house to get a loan. After it was approved, he insisted on taking me home to thank my parents. We did not return home together after that. The reason was always the same—he was busy.My parents were always understanding, knowing the challenges of starting a company. They said it required dedication and hard work. The fi
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 39 The Encounter at the Airport
I gasped and closed my eyes while bracing for the impact. But the next second, I felt my body embraced and almost drifting.I could hear gasps and applause while I trembled. When I opened my eyes, I found myself in the arms of a tall man, wrapped in his firm, masculine presence.He wore a black mask and was staring at me intensely. Something about his eyes seemed familiar. I held on to his arm as I stared back at him.He put me down and steadied me without saying a word. His eyes shifted to my hands on his arm. I quickly pulled it away and smiled awkwardly. "I’m sorry! Thank you!"Another person had picked up my luggage and brought it to me, saying, "You should be careful! That was a close call. Thankfully, this gentleman was quick!"I nodded at the man. "Thank you so much!""Where are you headed?" His voice sounded husky.I looked at him, puzzled. His voice sounded oddly familiar, too. I observed the composed man with his deep, mysterious eyes.He sensed my confusion and pulle
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 40 The Truth Unfolds
Shocked by what I was seeing, I retreated, overcome by a fear I had never felt before.My eyes grew wide, and I wished I was dreaming. However, their faces were unmistakable—it was Matthew and Melanie.I nearly screamed. Although I knew Matthew was cheating on me, I never imagined it would be with his own sister.I was unable to move, as if struck by lightning. Anyone else would have stormed in, but I stood there like a fool, arms and legs as heavy as lead. The noise in the room was so loud that my ears buzzed, and my eyes got as big as they could go.I snapped out of my daze. Before leaving, I took a few photos and a video with shaky hands.A wave of nausea hit me as I covered my mouth and ran downstairs. I vomited uncontrollably.Then, I ran aimlessly through the dark streets. I had no plan, no destination, just a never-ending sprint.All I could think about was how vile they were.I ran along Bayview Street until I reached the riverside, which was still brightly lit. The bur
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 41 A Life-Changing Vow
I cried uncontrollably again because I wasn't as strong as I thought. I don’t know where I got the courage to remain composed enough to take a photo before running out of the house.Atlas hesitated momentarily before patting my back. His gesture was gentlemanly. Although he was a stranger, his comfort relieved me. The walls I had put up crumbled as I clung to him. Unexpectedly, I encountered him a few times today, and he saw how pitiful I was.I didn’t know how much time passed, but I eventually stopped crying. Perhaps my tears had run dry.Atlas patted me again and looked at me profoundly. Soon after, I saw the sky brightening and realized dawn was approaching."Thank you, Mr. Pierce. I want to go to my friend's place at Amethyst Apartments," I said.He embraced me and nodded.When I appeared before Ivanna in such a miserable state, she could hardly believe her eyes. She rubbed her half-opened eyes, thinking she was hallucinating. "Chlo, you... What's happening? Weren't you supp
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 42 An Unforgivable Sin
This would be my promise to live on and embrace a new version of myself.Ivanna saw my determination and shook her head. She advised, “Have something to eat.”I nodded, and she strode out to prepare some food. Meanwhile, I gathered my emotions and fixed my appearance before leaving the room. After the meal, I told Ivanna, "I'm going to pick up my daughter.""Are you sure? Why don't you stay with me for a few days and calm down before doing that?"I knew she was worried, so I looked at her and said firmly, "I won't give up so easily. I'll take back everything that belongs to me!""Then how will you explain not leaving to see your parents?" Ivanna was still worried.I remained calm and replied, "I have an explanation."Immediately after, I changed into my own clothes, picked up my bag, and checked my phone. Before leaving, I instructed Ivanna, "Please get that coat cleaned for me.""I'll send you there." Ivanna grabbed her bag, put on her shoes, and took the coat. On the way, she
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 43 Orchestrating a Chance Meeting
I overcame my trauma that night and lay on the tainted bed. To stay motivated, I repeatedly told myself that overcoming all this was the first step to my revenge.Matthew leaned over and wanted to hug me, but I pushed him away. "I'm on my period. Don't bother me, please." He moved away and sighed, “I know it’s my fault you’re upset. Please don’t be mad.”“Go to sleep. My mind’s back home, and I have no idea how my dad’s doing. I have nothing to be mad about. Please spare me the drama,” I said, concealing my genuine emotions.He smiled and leaned closer to give me a peck. "Don't worry. Things will work out."I clenched my hand under the covers, feeling disgusted. I silently cursed, annoyed beyond measure because Matthew messed around with his sister. It made my skin crawl. I would've shattered his family's reputation if I didn’t need to reclaim what was mine.However, I couldn’t rush in recklessly. The money was gone, and the house wasn’t even under my name. I had promised Ava a
Beyond the Divorce Chapter 44 Winning Over One's Heart
I intentionally recounted my trip to Matthew without withholding a single detail when I returned home. He beamed and praised me, “You’re a wise partner. You’re understanding and skilled at winning people’s hearts.”However, I corrected him, “It’s not about winning people’s hearts, but about being kind. Speaking of Johnson, he’s done a lot for our family. It’s natural for a man like you not to notice these things, but women appreciate small gestures.”Truthfully, I aimed my actions at dispelling Matthew’s suspicions. I knew this sly fox would become vigilant if I hid things from him, and he found out later. I had to break him down without revealing my intentions.With this excuse, I frequented the wives of those clients, laying the groundwork for my future. To Matthew, I employed womanly tricks, which were nothing more than having meals and doing our nails together.Although I bustled, he thought it would amount to nothing. Still, he praised me a few times, “This is good because eve
