Breaking Point of Divorce (Hugh and Bethan) novel Chapter 263

Chapter 263 You Don’t Deserve To

Holding her arms, he looked into her eyes. “Yes, when Megan first came back, I wavered. That was my fault, I admit it. But I don’t love her.”

Before he could finish, Bethan cut in, “Even if you don’t love her, you don’t love me either.”

They stared at each other, Hugh’s lips twitching as if to speak, but no words came for a long moment.

He gazed into her eyes, finally saying, “Bethy, give me one more chance to learn to love you.”

Bethan laughed, shaking her head. “Hugh, any man could love me. But not you. You don’t deserve to.”

Even a moment’s hesitation, she knew, would betray the years of suffering she had endured-and the child she had lost.

Pushing him away, she said, “From now on, we’re

officially separated. I’ll have my lawyer file for divorce. This marriage is over.”

pain.

Eyes red, he clutched his heart, fighting to stay

composed. “I know I screwed up, I’ll agree to a separation for now to give you time to cool off, but divorce? Don’t even think about it.”

Bethan’s rideshare pulled up to the curb.

She glanced at him, her voice light. “Separation it is,

then.”

No matter what, she wouldn’t give up on divorcing him.

As she got into the car and it drove off, Hugh leaned against a tree, barely holding himself upright.

Minutes later, Jacob rushed over. “Mr. Cavill, surveillance shows Ms. Ridley left her place late tonight.”

Hugh snapped out of his pain, climbing into his car.

Two nights later, Hugh’s insomnia kept him awake.

Before, whenever he couldn’t sleep, Bethan stayed up with him.

She’d fret, trying every way to help, tending to his every

need.

Now, the house was silent, filled only with his breathing and heartbeat. Restless, he paced the bedroom barefoot.

At five-thirty in the morning, scrolling absently on his phone, he froze.

Bethan had just posted to Instagram. He recognized the garden instantly-Keating Mansion.

A surge of irritation flared.

She’d stayed at Keating Mansion again?

Hugh stormed to the closet to change.

A handmade crystal glass pendant fell onto his slipper, catching his eye.

He bent to pick it up, instantly sobering.

Staring at the tiny baby photo inside, the infant’s big eyes seemed to cry, to say they were cold.

He clutched the pendant to his chest, breathing heavily.

He’d promised Bethan a separation, no interference. Her body was still recovering from the miscarriage. He couldn’t upset her again.

Her words from the sidewalk replayed, each one stabbing his heart.

The pain bent him double, cold sweat beading on his

forehead.

He remembered how Bethan used to fuss over him when he was unwell, too worried to eat or sleep.

The agony overwhelmed him, and he fell from the chair to the floor with a dull thud.

Hugh’s phone lay buzzing on the floor, but he was so lost in his own misery that he didn’t hear a thing.

Nola demanded money on the spot. “Megan, it was your idea for us to sell the house and move to another city. You said we were in the way of you and Hugh. Now we can’t make a living there, and it’s all because of you. Today, if you don’t give us money, I won’t let this go!”

Panicked by the thought of neighbors overhearing, Megan dragged her to the side. “Nola, keep it down. This place is Hugh’s, not mine.”

Rachel chimed in, “Megan, your nephews are growing boys in school. They’ve got heavy expenses. You should help out. Ask Hugh for more money-enough for two apartments, good school districts.”

Nola nodded eagerly. “If Hugh can set you up with a place, he can do the same for us. He’s New York’s richest man! A little cash from him could buy us a villa. If he won’t pay, we’ll make a scene at his company.”
