The Transactional Marriage That Imploded novel Chapter 261

She reinforced Mathis's impression of her, hoping to permanently extinguish any possessive thoughts he still harbored.

She was not his plaything.

Bianca said, "That's right, I never loved you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to walk away so easily. You know me, I've always prioritized my own interests.

Once there's nothing left to gain from you, I'll leave without hesitation. Since you understand this now, go find a woman who actually loves you. It's better for both of us."

She turned and left without looking back, completely ignoring Mathis's face, which was contorted with rage.

His need for control was suffocating, and Bianca didn't want to spend another second in the same room as him.

Mathis stared at her retreating back. She never hesitated whenever she walked away from him.

The first time she asked for a divorce and presented the papers, he had been so anxious that he blocked her on their messaging app.

When they worked on a project together at Progenix Tech, she had pushed herself to the point of exhaustion, working overtime just to finish it quickly and escape his presence.

To ensure their divorce went through smoothly, she had hidden away alone for over a year.

She had never felt any lingering attachment to him.

Bianca was so ruthlessly decisive that it felt as if he had never truly existed in her life. To her, he was just an object that could be discarded at any moment.

He recalled the passionate month they had spent together after his recovery. Had all of her smiles been nothing but a deception?

Most likely. She had always been an expert at masking her true feelings.

The memories acted like a blade, slicing his skin inch by inch until his heart was left bleeding.

But he refused to let Bianca go. He couldn't. During the year he hadn't seen her, he had relied on videos of her playing the zither every single day just to soothe his longing.
