Casper leaned casually against his car. The streetlight above cast a soft glow on his hair and shoulders, highlighting his chiseled profile against the clear night sky. He had striking looks that even made other men do a double-take.
As he looked up and saw her approaching, his eyes narrowed, and a smirk tugged at the corner of his lips when he noticed her using a crutch. Perhaps in his mind, she was just clumsily mimicking Nova.
"Aaron must be heartbroken seeing you like this," he scoffed.
Aaron? So, they talked. That explained why he was here.
"Weren't we supposed to discuss Robin?" she asked, trying to keep her voice steady.
He strode towards her, his cold eyes reflecting the chill of the night as he thrust the divorce papers at her. "Take these back, and then we can talk."
"Still can't let me go?" Eliza looked up at him. His tall frame blocked most of the light, making it hard for her to see his face clearly. "I'm not asking for a penny. Isn't leaving with nothing enough? Or do you not want to give Nova a proper status?"
He grabbed her chin, forcing her to meet his gaze. "Seems like I haven't given Nova a status yet, but you've already given Aaron one."
His words cut deep. Despite their two years of marriage, she had always been loyal, but accusations still flew her way.
Anger flared in her eyes. "When have you ever seen anything happen between me and Aaron? Do you think everyone's like you, chasing after every desire?"
"Are you saying nothing is going on?" His grip on her face tightened, distorting her features slightly. He leaned in closer, grabbing her waist. "Would he defend you without getting any benefits?"
Aaron had probably said some kind words about her, which must have pissed Casper off. Now, Casper was taking it out on her.
