Revenge With My Undercover Cop Hubby novel Chapter 103

Chapter 103 The Proof

“The waiting period has passed, and both sides have agreed to the terms. Let’s finish this,” Kelly said, her voice steady, her decision unwavering. She had timed everything perfectly. There was no room for hesitation.

Eric stood before the counter, his hands at his sides, his shoulders stiff. For a long while, he said nothing. Then, at last, his voice broke the silence. “Kelly, must we do this now? It’s not about the money–I just….

He stopped. There was no point in saying more.

Kelly tapped her fingers against the counter. “I’m not waiting.”

Eric drew a slow breath, his brow furrowed. He hadn’t expected her to be this determined.

Once the documents were signed, the divorce would be final. Everything in the agreement would be set in

stone.

The money from her parents‘ heritage house would be lost to him, and he would owe her–an amount so vast it sent a chill through his chest.

His hands clenched into fists. “Kelly, let’s talk about this.

He couldn’t afford to go through with this. Not yet.

“I’ll give you ten minutes,” Kelly said, shifting Faye in her arms. She turned away and took a seat.

Eric wanted to argue. He wanted to plead. But the look in her eyes left no room for either. So, instead, he stepped aside and pulled out his phone. The moment the call connected, he hissed into the receiver. “This was your idea. Now Kelly’s forcing the divorce. She’s using Faye to back me into a corner! I already signed the agreement–it’s notarized. What now?”

On the other end, Clarissa sounded unconcerned. “What do you mean, ‘what now? You don’t have the money, so just tell her you don’t have it. Give her a little each year. Drag it out.”

Her voice dropped. “If she won’t let it go… there are other ways.”

Eric understood what that meant.

If Kelly disappeared, so would his debt.

He ran a hand over his face. “I’ll handle it.”

For now, all he could do was buy himself more time. The marriage was already over.

And if it wasn’t? Then Kelly would drive him mad. She would ruin his mother, take Faye, and leave him with nothing.

He checked the time. Ten minutes had passed.

Ten minutes spent running in circles. Ten minutes spent thinking about everything–except how he and Kelly had ended up here.

“Kelly,” he said as he walked toward her. His voice was steady, his steps slow. “I’ll sign.”

Chapter 103 The Proof

Kelly glanced up. A small, dry laugh escaped her lips.

At last.

She placed Faye in his arms and turned toward the counter.

She had never thought that divorce would be the first step toward reclaiming her freedom.

The paperwork was processed. The assets were divided Everything was done.

Faye stirred, her small hands rubbing at her eyes. “Daddy, I fell asleep. Did the mean lady leave you?”

Eric tightened his hold on her. “She did, sweetheart. It’s over.”

Kelly watched him. He was a good father. That was the only kind thing she could say about him.

“From now on, we have no ties,” she said, meeting his eyes. “You need to pay me back the money. I’ll handle the house problems myself. Just give me the money it’s valued at. Including the interest.”

Eric held Faye closer. “Kelly, I don’t have the money. Give me time.”

Kelly pulled the divorce papers from the counter and raised them between them. “Your investments, your bank accounts, your properties, your cars, your shares in Clarissa’s company–every last cent came from me. You have one month. Sell what you need to sell. Borrow if you have to. I don’t care how you do it. Just have the money ready.” She didn’t wait for an answer. She turned and walked away.

“Kelly … after the divorce … where will you go?” Eric’s voice cracked, his words laced with worry.

Kelly didn’t even spare him a glance. “That’s none of your business.”

She had somewhere to go. A small apartment she’d kept hidden away, just for moments like this.

She would wait there. Wait for Zev to come back, safe, no matter how long it took.

And yet, she didn’t know if Gary had even found him yet. The thought gnawed at her.

“Kelly…” Eric called out again, his voice heavy with something he couldn’t name. A quiet dread filled his chest, a whisper telling him he’d regret this moment for the rest of his life.

But right now, he had no choice.

He had to protect himself.

“Take care of yourself,” said Eric.

Without another word, Kelly hailed a cab, moving swiftly as though every step was already planned.

Her clenched fists loosened. She took a deep, steadying breath. The divorce papers in her hand felt like a weight, a heavy confirmation of what she’d just lost.

Her marriage to Eric was over.

And with it, her foundation crumbled.
