I was too hasty earlier. I didn’t think it would turn out like this. Daisy’s always been in poor health, and I was worried you might hurt her. I couldn’t take the riskif something happened to her, I wouldn’t be able to explain it to anyone at the company. I swear, when I rushed over, I didn’t see you. If I had, I never would have collided with you. The child you’re carrying is my flesh and blood. I could never hurt my own kid, no matter what.” 

The surgical incision still throbbed with pain, but as he poured out his excuses, the first thing he focused on was defending his own mistake

He didn’t ask if I was in pain from the surgery, didn’t ask how I was feeling, didn’t ask where the baby was

I looked at his face, filled with concern, and a bitter smile pulled at my lips. Tears slipped down my cheeks, soaking into my collar. My heart felt like it was frozen

What’s wrong, Alison? Honey, are you okay? Please don’t scare me. Are you feeling unwell? Hang on. I’ll call the doctor right now.” 

Wait.” 

I stopped him, and he looked at me in confusion

No need. Let’s just get a divorce, Stephen

Is it because of that turkey you didn’t get to eat? Alison, don’t blow this out of proportion.” 

The turkey was just the tipping point, but I’m really tired. I can choose not to blame her, and I can choose not to blame you, but please, just don’t show up in front of me again. Not in this life, not in the next. I don’t want to see you ever again.” 

Maybe he didn’t expect me to speak so decisively. Our eyes locked, and he froze in place

Then, his phone rang

He pulled out his phone and glanced at the caller ID, his expression shifting uneasily

I forced a sarcastic smile and turned away from him

Go ahead. I told you, I don’t want to see you again. Who you’re with doesn’t matter to me

After five years of marriage and love, I didn’t even want a proper goodbye

The rush with which we had gotten together was matched only by the messiness of how we were now splitting apart

I thought for sure he’d drop everything when he saw Daisy’s call

But this time, he hit the Declinebutton

I know I’ve made you suffer today, but I promise, this is the last time. We still have three kids. I’ll take care of things with Daisy. She’s really just someone I see as a sister. Sometimes, when I look at her, I can’t help but want to protect herit’s like seeing the younger version of you.” 

As he spoke, I looked at him, a mocking smile stretching across my face

Stephen, I’m still alive. You don’t need 

with me. Don’t use me as an excuse foo look for me in someone who has nothing to do 

your infidelity. It disgusts me.” 

Seeing the unwavering coldness in my gaze, he finally lost his patience

Alison, how could you think that? You know I’m not that kind of person! We’ve been together for five years. When have I ever betrayed you? This is your fault. If you hadn’t been so petty, none of this would’ve happened. You could’ve just swallowed your pride and ended things. But you had to make it worse, and now here we are. I never wanted this.” 

I had never felt so exhausted

As he threw every bit of blame onto me, I couldn’t bring myself to explain anymore

He opened his mouth again to continue defending himself, but his phone rang once more. This time, without another word, he glanced at me in disappointment and left the room

I dialed my lawyer’s number

I want a divorce. I want all my assets back.” 

If you withdraw the funds, Mr. Greene’s company will go bankrupt and will be burdened with massive debt. Are you sure you want to do this?” 

I replied, my voice icy, Yes. I’m sure.”
