"Do you really want a divorce that badly?"
"Yes, I want a divorce. I've had enough."
James looked into Sophie's resolute eyes, no longer seeing the deep love she once had for him.
"Fine, then listen to me. I don't agree to the divorce." James stood up, grabbing the divorce papers from the table and tearing them in half.
"James! You!"
"I don't want to hear you mention divorce again. As long as I forbid it, you'll always be my wife."
"James, by what right—"
"By the right that I am James Burke, and here in Devonport, I have the final say. If I don't agree, you can forget about the divorce."
"You!"
Before Sophie could finish, James tossed the divorce papers into the trash and stormed upstairs.
Sophie watched his retreating figure with fury. Damn it, why won't he agree to the divorce now?
In the past, she begged him not to divorce her, and James didn't even glance at her. But now, when she initiated the divorce, and it had escalated to this point, suddenly James was unwilling to part ways.
Sophie glanced at the trash can where the torn divorce papers lay.
However, James had a point. Now in Devonport, his word was law. If James didn’t agree to the divorce, then she couldn’t get one.
It seemed she needed to add some weight to her divorce strategy.
The next day, Sophie went to the Business Registry and took over several of Russell Enterprises’ failing companies.

Enjoying the story, to much victimising Sophie, they could at least try to target others. Hope at some point Sophie comes clean and forgives James and explain her view of loving the boy James was. Just so they both learn and move on. Really needs to be some consequences for the instigators instead of being let go. Sandy needs to see Vanessa is using her as a cover, and Sandy needs to wake up to herself, or be held responsible by her father for alienating the people she was supposed to make contact with. Hope the reporter brother is keeping an eye on what Vanessa and Odie are up to, and that he has he’s own justice in store. Hope he becomes like Reese a good partner. Hope James lives and finds he’s HEA. Need to put Nicole in prison , no release and several lifetimes , with all the evidence on the crimes she’s committed just to get her out of the way guilt free. More about what’s up with Gordon....
