Divorce to Destiny: Reclaiming My CEO Husband novel Chapter 87

87 Surprise Visitor 

(Winona) 

I try to gather my thoughts as the cell door creaks open again. This time, it’s Jayden. My heart leaps, but his face is set in a hard, unforgiving mask. My breath catches in my throat. 

“Jayden?” I whisper, standing up, my hands trembling. “What are you doing here? How did you get in to see me?” 

“You know money talks. This is the one and only time I speak to you.” 

“What are you here for?” 

He doesn’t respond right away, just looks at me with a mix of anger and pain. His jaw is clenched tight, and I can see the hurt in his eyes. “I can’t believe it, Winona,” he finally says, his voice cold. “The evidence is too strong. I saw what I saw. How could you do this? How could you push her?” 

“Jayden, I didn’t! You have to believe me. She set me up!” I plead, tears streaming down voice cracking with desperation.

“Set you up? Do you realize how insane that sounds? She lost our baby, Winona! My baby!” His voice rises, filled with anguish. “No one would kill their own baby like that.” 

“I know it sounds crazy, but she admitted it to me before she fell. She wanted to ruin my life. Jayden, please, you have to trust me,” I beg, my heart breaking at the sight of his despair. 

My knees feel weak, and I clutch the edge of the bed for support.

He shakes his head, stepping back as if my words physically hurt him. “I can’t. I can’t ever trust you again. I’ve lost my child because of you.” 

The accusation hits me like a physical blow. I can barely stand under the weight of his words. “Jayden, I swear, I would never hurt your child. Never.” 

“Stop lying!” His voice is louder, angry, echoing off the cold, concrete walls. His fists clench at his sides, and I can see the veins standing out on his neck. 

“I will prove my innocence. I have to. For Abby. You believe what you want to believe. I hoped there could be an ‘us‘.” My voice is firm, despite the tears that won’t stop falling. I take a step toward him, my hands reaching out, but he recoils as if my touch would burn him. 

“Us?” He laughs bitterly. “There is no us, Winona. Not anymore. Not ever.” 

The finality of his words shatters my heart. “Please, Jayden,” I whisper, my voice broken. “Don’t give up on

He looks at me one last time, his eyes filled with a mix of sorrow and anger. “I already have.” 

“Suit yourself.” I remember I have to do as the lawyer says and stay calm and focused. My heart is screaming, but I force myself to keep a straight face. 

“You should know,” he begins, his voice devoid of warmth. “I’m filing for full custody of Abby. I can’t let her stay with someone who’s capable of what you did.

His words hit me like a freight train, “Jayden, no! You can’t do that. Abby needs me. She’s already lost so much.” 

“She needs stability, Winona. And you’re not it. I should have listened to my mother all along. You were never good enough for this family. Clearly what you went through with your father, you can never be trusted. Like Bobby. There’ll never be any hope.”

My heart shatters again at his cruel words. “Please, Jayden, you’re making a mistake. You know me. You know I’d never do anything to harm our family.” 

He shakes his head. “I don’t know you at all, Not anymore. I’d hoped to remember something prophetic that changed everything but it’s all ancient history. I’m moving my life forward.” 

With that, he turns and leaves, the door clanging shut behind him. I’m left alone once more, the silence now a suffocating blanket of despair. 

I sink back onto the bed, tears streaming down my face, and clutch at my chest, as if I can hold my broken heart together. But I can’t. I feel like I’m falling apart, piece by piece.
