The Internet’s Favorite Couple Was My Marriage’s Worst Nightmar novel Chapter 87

Chapter 12

“I’m sorry. I apologize on Emily’s behalf.”

I bowed, gritting my teeth against the pain in my back.

The blood had soaked through the bandage again.

If Jack hadn’t been there to support me, I probably couldn’t even have stood up straight.

The clients saw how badly I was hurt and didn’t press the issue any further.

Though the situation was resolved,

Emily still had to stay a few more days.

When we left, the police gave us a few minutes alone.

I wanted to refuse, but Emily begged me to stay.

The scratches on her face made her look nothing like the proud woman she used to be.

After a long silence, I spoke first.

“Emily, it’s over between us.‘

She looked at me, her lips trembling, and tried to say something but didn’t know what.

As I turned to leave, she said her final apology.

For the next month, I didn’t hear from Emily.

I threw myself into work, wrapping up the projects I had in hand and earning a fair

amount.

What I didn’t expect was that my proposal caught Mr. Johnson’s attention.

He waved his hand and hired me for his company.

That night, at a company dinner, Emily suddenly showed up.

My new coworkers started whispering, and I didn’t want to make a scene.

So, I came up with an excuse to step outside.

Naturally, Emily followed me.

The alcohol smell had mostly worn off by now,

and that’s when I realized how bad Emily looked.

Her clothes were dirty, and her eyes were swollen.

She started telling me what had happened over the past month, but I didn’t care.

It was clear the company was in financial trouble and couldn’t operate much longer.

“So what?”

I stopped walking and looked at the defeated Emily.

She didn’t answer.

Instead, she told me to wait right there.

A few minutes later, she handed me a stack of papers.

“Lucas, all the property documents are here. We’re getting divorced.”

After she emptied her hands, she tried to hug me again.

I instinctively pulled away.

She didn’t say anything else–just cried as she walked away.

A month later, I met her at the civil affairs office.

We easily got the divorce certificate.

Chapter 12

When it came time to divide the property, I told them to leave everything to me.

But I didn’t take it all.

I only took my share, the part that was rightfully mine.

The rest, I heard, was enough to pay off the company’s debts.
