The next part of the video was even harder to watch.
Alex, small hands rifling through the cabinet, finding the bottle of sleeping pills. His little fingers hesitated over two pills before he took out a few more, as if unsure if two would be enough.
Then, with a deep breath, he dropped them all into the glass of water.
Arnold had watched it in silence. He had watched it again.
Now, standing in front of Nora, he didn’t know what to say.
She turned her gaze away, her voice devoid of emotion. “This time, I won’t help him hide it.”
There was no rage in her tone, no dramatic outburst. That’s what made it worse. Nora had already given up.
Nora reached for a folder sitting on the bedside table and held it out to him. Her movements were calm, almost too steady. “I’ve already spoken to my grandmother. She won’t stop us from getting a divorce.”
Arnold’s fingers tightened around the divorce papers, his grip turning his knuckles white.
An unfamiliar resistance welled up inside him, a feeling he hadn’t expected. His entire body felt tense, like a coil wound too tightly.
Why?
Hadn’t this been his decision all along? Hadn’t he been the one to suggest divorce in the first place?
Yet now, with the documents in his hands, the finality of it pressed against him like an invisible weight.
“What are you hesitating about?” Nora’s voice was calm, almost indifferent, but there was an underlying sharpness to it, like the edge of a blade.
Arnold exhaled slowly, forcing his voice to stay level. “You're in a hurry to divorce me?”
Nora met his gaze without flinching. “Well,” she said, her tone light but firm, “Alpha Arnold, I’ve wanted to divorce you for a long time.”
A flicker of something dark flared in Arnold’s chest.
A surprising amount of anger surged through him, hot and unrestrained. He clenched his jaw.
Back then... he reminded her... their marriage had been born out of manipulation. She had drugged him, seduced him, and after one reckless night, she had ended up pregnant with his child.
The choice had been stripped from him, and they had been forced into marriage.
But to his astonishment, Nora laughed.
It wasn’t a light laugh. It was cold, bitter, the kind that scraped against the walls of a shattered heart.

Iam kinda wondering if the writer may speak another language??? Cause iam noting that some of the words kind of seem like another language I could be wrong but every page has a spelling mistake it's making it hard to understand most of what is happening in the book....
