The Divorce That Shattered His World novel Chapter 13

Stella sat down beside him, carefully watching his expression. She reached for his sleeve, just like she always had.

Every time, as long as she acted spoiled, he would let go of everything.

After all, he loved her, didn't he?

But this time, her plan failed.

"Stella, this is your last chance," he said coldly. "If I didn't have proof, I wouldn't be here."

She flinched, her throat tightening. Desperate, she leaned in again, pouting.

"But Martin, you were going to divorce her anyway. I just sped things up. I know I was wrong—don't be mad at me~"

Her voice was sweet, her usual tactic. But this time, it didn't work.

"Who said I was getting divorced? Stop making decisions for me!"

He shoved her away, his breathing heavy. Stella stumbled back, falling to the ground.

"Ah!"

Martin stood, ready to leave. Seeing he wouldn't stay, Stella's tears finally spilled over.

"If you're not divorcing her, why did you come to me?"

He paused but didn't turn back.

"Stella, I only see you as a friend. You misunderstood."

Martin's jaw tightened. He wanted to argue, but instead, he turned away.

"Let's end this farce, Stella."

He walked out, leaving her alone.

Stella collapsed on the couch, tears streaming down her face.

She'd never expected this to be their end.

But she wasn't ready to let go.

"Martin," she whispered, wiping her tears. "I won't give up that easily."
