“Oh yeah? Maybe you should congratulateon my rebirth. I'm no longer the kind of idiotic doormat everyone

could walk over,” 1 retorted.

Everything I'd gone through in the past few weeks felt like cleansing fire. | was reborn from it, like a phoenix.

1 should be proud that I survived it, and now my life and career were at new heights.

Had | been even a little weaker or more naive, | would have been burned to ashes. | wouldn't be standing here,

listening to him react with shock at my transformation.

The Kennedys watchedin stunned silence.

I sighed, tucking the form back into my bag. “Get well soon I'll be waiting.”

| turned to leave and opened the door.

“Taylor, Ill help Mr. Jones out of this,” Edward declared.

“Are you nuts?!” | spun around, perplexed. “What good will that do?!”

“You're just confused by your rage, Taylor. You don’t understand what you've done-and | don’t want you to regret

“You're impossible!” Edward's face darkened, and I could tell I'd pissed him off. “Fine. I'm not ashamed of my

choice.”

“Sure, whatever you like. If | had known you'd keep stabbingin the back after everything I've done to save

you, | would've just left you there to die,” | shot back.

“Taylor, how dare you?!” Sally finally roared.

| slammed the door open and shut as | left.

| could hear Sally shouting behind me, “Divorce her right now, Ed! Why do you want a woman who doesn’t even

respect or treat her father right?!”

| chuckled. | hoped Edward was a mama's boy.

Once back in my car, | examined the papers, feeling a wave of melancholy.

I had loved him for years and sacrificed so much, yet this was where we ended up. How could anyone accept

such an outcome?

brightest and most famous alumni to cback.”

Jean had been withthroughout the National Academy, from high school onward. She graduated from the

finance program.

“Did you?” | asked, shocked.

their cabinet, sis. And you're a celebrated fashion designer who's always winning awards.”

“I don’t know about that...”

Soren must have been invited, too. As an undergraduate and a PhD student there, he had to be an outstanding

alumnus.

“Oh, right. It's the day your case goes to trial. Edward postponed it again, right? What are you going to do next?”

Jean asked.

“I visited him at the hospital and had him sign the annulment form. He... actually did. Fingers crossed he’s

discharged by next week so we can proceed with the paperwork,” | replied.
