Time seemed to stretch before she managed to stammer, Divorce?
He was suggesting a divorce?
What prompted him to consider divorce so abruptly?
She was caught off guard.
We were both set up that night. We were forced to get married and we didnt make the marriage public. Since there is no love between the two of us, wed better end it, Tyrone explained casually, as if discussing mundane chores.
Sabrinas face drained of color.
Her heart felt clenched, making breathing arduous.
Tt couldnt be.
She had loved him for nine years.
She had joined the Blakely family and fallen in love with him at the age of sixteen.
They had been married for three years. Her love for him had only grown stronger.
She wanted this marriage; it wasnt forced upon her.
Yet, for him, the marriage was far from perfect.
Struggling to swallow the Lump in her throat, she steadied her breath.
Looking straight at him, she attempted to keep her voice steady. Have the last three years not been good? Are you certain you want to divorce me? Her heart ached as she uttered those words.
Ive made my decision.
ILL handle them.
And what if I am- She wanted to tell him she was pregnant.
Impatient, he cut her off. Galileas returned.
The words felt like a brutal stab to Sabrinas heart.
She accepted the divorce agreement in a daze and said, Alright. I will look at this.
Forced to marry? No love? Those were just excuses.
His concluding sentence revealed the true reason behind his decision.
