Hannah
My mind reeled as | stared at those words.
Notice of Divorce.
The world seemed to tilt on its axis as | read them over and over and over again. If I'd had the strength to do so,
| might have even pinched myself to find out if | was having skind of nightmare. But | just stood there,
frozen, my arms hanging limply at my sides.
“...What?”
That was the only word | managed to choke out after an eternity, the lump in my throat feeling like millions of
shards of glass piercing my esophagus.
Noah's eyes were cold, devoid of any warmth or love. So much unlike the man who had heldall night. So far
from the husband who had throwna baby shower and calledhis queen and kissedin front of
everyone.

“I want a divorce,” he said matter-of-factly.
My throat bobbed. “Why?” Those shards of glass shattered even more. | could hardly breathe.
Noah merely shrugged, shoving the topmost paper-the one with two lines to sign, one forand one for him,
and one of them already held his signature-toward me.
That movement alone madefeel as if | had been punched in the gut. This had to be skind of cruel joke,
right? Skind of horrible prank? A poor attempt at macabre humor?
But as | searched his face for any sign of the sweet, loving man | thought | had cto know over the past
months, | found nothing but contempt. Before there had been little wildfires burning in those green eyes, but
now that forest had turned as icy as the coldest winter.
“You're... you're joking, right?” | asked, my voice trembling.
Noah let out a harsh laugh. “Joking? God, you really are as stupid as you look. I'm honestly sorry that you're
dumb enough to believe | would ever love someone like you.”
Each word was like a dagger to my heart. | couldn't breathe, couldn’t think. This couldn’t be happening. | would
have crumpled to the floor had it not been for the wall beside me. | pushed my hand into that wall with what
little strength | had, begging my legs to keepupright.
“But... but the baby,” | stammered, my hand instinctively moving to my swollen belly.
Noah's lip curled in disgust. “You mean that thing? I've always known it’s not mine. You've probably been
whoring around with Drake or who knows who else. Maybe you don’t even know who the father is.”
With that, he shoved the paper a little closer. He yanked a pen out of the inner pocket of his jacket and threw it
on the table with force.
“Noah, what's happening to you?” | begged, tears starting to form in my eyes. “What's going on? Yesterday,
you... we... Does Zoe have anything to do with this?”

“What? You thought | was actually talking to Zoe today?” He sneered. “I was out finalizing the divorce from my
end.”
“But last night-"

“Right,” he huffed, looking away with a clenched jaw. “The sex. | just needed to keep you happy to stop you from
trying to take money or items from the house That's why I've been so sweet, throwing parties for you, buying
you things... fucking you. Goddess, you're just as dumb as you've always been, Hannah.”
The realization hitlike a ton of bricks. All of it-the tender moments, the lovemaking, the baby shower -it had
all been a lie. A calculated move to keepdocile while he prepared to throwaway.
Hot, viscous fury bubbled up inside of me, mixing and mingling with the pain and hurt until | could barely see
straight.
With shaking hands, | grabbed the papers and the pen. “You lying bastard,” | spat, scribbling my signature on the
dotted lines.
As | signed, my eyes fell on the silver picture frNoah had givenjust the night before. | had put it on the
foyer table, hoping to someday fill it and display it where every visitor would see.
Well, not anymore.
In a fit of rage, | grabbed it and smashed it on the floor. The glass shattered, scattering across the marble tiles.
“Bastard,” | repeated, my voice hoarse.
Noah didn’t even flinch-not at the frame, and not at the words. As the glass skittered across the floor between
us, his expression remained impassive as if he didn’t even recognize the gift he had just givenyesterday.
“There,” | said, shoving the signed papers at him. “You got what you wanted. | hope you're happy.”
