I pulled the SIM card from my phone, my fingers steady despite the storm raging inside me

Without hesitation, I tossed it into the airport trash can. Then, without looking back, I boarded the 

plane

On the other side of the world, Atlas stood atop a secluded mountain estate, watching the sun dip 

below the horizon

Beside him, Ivy smiled, her delicate fingers adjusting a loose strand of her hair

Just as Atlas reached out to fix it for her, his phone rang. Annoyed, he pulled it out, his brows furrowing at the unfamiliar number. Mr. Whitmore, your wifeshe’s gone.” 

His hand stilled midair. The warm glow of the sunset cast long shadows, but the sudden chill in his veins made him feel as if the temperature had dropped several degrees

Gone?His voice was sharp, controlled. What do you mean?” 

The person on the other end hesitated, then spoke with clear apprehension

The nurses said she left in the middle of the night. And she left a document behindYou should see it for yourself.” 

Atlas’s grip on his phone tightened. What document?” 

A pausea divorce agreement.” 

The words landed like a physical blow. His chest constricted, his heartbeat a slow, forceful thud against his ribs

He had to have misheard. Or maybe this was some kind of joke. Celeste wouldn’t do this

Even if she was angry, even if she refused to apologize, she wouldn’t take things this far

Beside him, Ivy’s expression flickered with something unreadablesomething sharp and dangerousbut it disappeared in an instant

She reached for his sleeve, her voice soft with concern

Celestedid something happen to her?she asked, tilting her head just slightly, feigning innocence. Let me come with you, Atlas. Maybe there’s something I can do to help.” 

Atlas barely acknowledged her, nodding once before turning on his heel and striding down the mountain path

A deep scowl had settled onto his face, his usual controlled composure fraying at the edges

Ivy hurried after him, her delicate fingers brushing against his chest in a reassuring touch

Don’t worry,she murmured. I’m sure Celeste is fine.” 

The moment her hands made contact, irritation flared in Atlas’s chest. His patience was already 

worn thin, and Ivy’s touch only fueled his frustration

With a sharp frown, he brushed her hands away

Enough,he muttered

The car ride to the hospital was silent. Ivy stared at him, unsettled. He had never rejected her touch 

before

Her nails dug into her palm as she turned her attention to her phone, sending a quick text

The reply came instantly. Don’t worry. It’s been handled.” 

Inside the VIP hospital suite, the tension was suffocating

The hospital director sat rigidly in his chair, his forehead damp with nervous sweat

It wasn’t every day that a hospital lost a patientlet alone the wife of Atlas Whitmore

The moment the door swung open, the atmosphere dropped several degrees

Atlas stepped in, his presence casting a heavy weight over the room

The director stood abruptly, wringing his hands. Mr. Whitmore-” 

Where is she?Atlas’s voice was dangerously quiet, a sharp contrast to the fury simmering beneath 

his skin

The director hesitated before shakily handing him a thin stack of papers

Atlas’s gaze flickered down. The words stared back at him, stark and unforgiving
