My CEO HUSBAND sign the divorce novel Chapter 127

Chapter 127: Confession

‎"I know you’re still upset about what happened that day, and that day—"

‎Alexander began, but was abruptly cut off.

‎"Don’t mention that day."

‎

Alicia ‎cut him off sharply, fixing him with a frosty stare.

‎

‎"You already made your choice, so stop pretending otherwise."

‎

‎Her voice was calm, but every word was sharp.

‎

‎"The moment you walked out of that room, it was over between us."

‎

‎

Alicia took another step back.

‎"There’s nothing left to discuss. But don’t worry—for Nana’s sake, I’ll continue playing along in front of her for now."

‎

‎Alexander’s jaw tightened.

‎

‎"Over?" he said darkly. "I don’t agree."

‎

‎

"We signed the divorce settlement agreement."

‎

‎"Does that mean you won’t keep your promise to Nana?"

‎

‎Alicia gave a faint laugh, as though the question itself were absurd.

‎

‎"Nana’s promise?"

‎

‎She looked straight at him.

‎

‎"When you decided to leave, were you thinking about Nana’s promise then?"

‎

"Of course I remembered."

‎

‎"Oh?"

‎

‎A cold sneer curved her lips.

‎

‎"If you truly remembered, you would never have insisted on going to Lilian."

‎

‎She stepped closer, her gaze unwavering.

‎

‎"Just admit it, Alexander. You were the first one to break your promise to Nana."

‎

‎Her voice dropped lower.

‎

‎"You chose Lilian over me."

‎

‎

Alexander’s expression shifted.

‎

‎"I’m sorry. I didn’t realize what she was trying to do. I didn’t know her injuries weren’t serious."

‎

‎"No."

‎

‎Alicia shook her head.

‎

‎"That’s not the point."

‎

‎She moved one step closer until they were standing face to face.

‎

‎"Maybe she deceived you. But the truth remains—you still chose to leave me for her."

‎

‎Her eyes were steady, but pain flickered beneath them.

‎

‎"I tried to stop you."

‎

‎"You still walked away."

‎

‎"You left me there with Michael after hearing the things he said to me."

‎

‎She held his gaze without blinking.

‎

‎"That means, in your heart, you have always valued her more than me."

‎

‎Her voice turned quiet.

‎

‎"Whether her injuries were real or fake... that has always been the truth."

"And that ring you kept in your car?" Alicia said coldly. "It was meant for Lilian."

‎

‎She held his gaze without blinking.

‎

‎"Even if Michael hadn’t shown up, we would have finished our meal... and you still would have gone to her."

‎

‎Alexander’s lips parted, but no words came out.

‎

‎"Even after learning she lied to you, didn’t you still attend her birthday party today?" Alicia continued.

‎

‎"Didn’t you still play the piano for her?"

‎

‎"Didn’t you still dance with her?"

‎

‎Her voice lowered.

‎

‎"Have you ever done any of that for me?"

‎

‎In truth, Alicia knew she had allowed all of it to affect her.

‎

‎Given Alexander’s history with Lilian, celebrating her birthday should not have been surprising.

‎

‎If it had been any other day, perhaps Alicia would not have cared so much. Alexander and Lilian had known each other for years. Their bond was deep, tangled, and not something easily severed.

‎

‎Alicia had long understood one truth.

‎

‎She could never compare to Lilian.

‎

‎Never had. Never would.

‎

‎But their wedding anniversary happened to fall on the same day as Lilian’s birthday.

‎

‎No wife could calmly watch her husband insist on celebrating another woman that night.

‎

‎Alexander took a slow breath.

‎

‎"I was only planning to drop off the gift and leave..."

‎

‎Alicia let out a sharp laugh.

‎

‎"Drop off the gift and leave?"

‎

‎She stepped closer.

‎

‎"Do you really think you could have?"

‎

‎Her eyes turned colder.

‎

‎"That night, you left in the middle of the night and didn’t return until dawn."

‎

‎"Did you think I wouldn’t notice?"

‎

‎"I woke up when you were on the phone."

‎

‎Alexander’s face paled instantly.

‎

‎Everything he had tried so hard to hide... she had known all along.

‎

‎She had simply chosen silence.

‎

‎Alicia lowered her gaze.

‎

‎"Alexander, just admit it."

‎

‎Her voice was quiet now.

‎

‎"You love Lilian."

‎

‎"No matter what promise you made to Nana, we can only pretend to get along."

‎

‎"You will never love me."

‎

‎"We were always going to divorce sooner or later."

‎

‎"No."

‎

‎Alexander’s voice was hoarse.

‎

‎He stepped forward and caught both her hands tightly in his.

‎

‎"You’re wrong."

‎

‎His eyes locked onto hers.

‎

‎"If that were true, everything would be easier."

‎

‎"We could simply keep acting in front of Nana."
