He searched frantically around the house, asked every employee they had, but she wasn’t anywhere to be found. Heading up to the bedroom once more, her scent still hanging in the air, he spotted a note on the bed. He snatched it in his hands, his heart racing so loud he thought it would deafen him. Did she leave him? Gone forever?
He tore the note open, almost apart:I'll sign the divorce papers so you can have your inheritance and I will have my share...
“That’s it?” he mumbled with shaking hands. He read it over and over again, each time frowning more. I can't believe she's just going to leave like that. He squeezed the paper and dropped down on the bed. Did she really just choose the money over him? Her debts would be paid for one way or the other and the gardener’s home would be her father’s as well as that was agreed upon outside of the will and even signed off by his mother… So why? Why divorce him?
The only answer he found to this question was as terrible as it was logical.
“$10,000,000,” he muttered, his voice sad and low. His heart felt like a million pieces of glass, slowly cutting him open from the inside.How could this be? Why did all of this have to happen to him?
For the past few weeks he was starting to believe that his grandfather had set him up in his will on purpose, with a deeper reason in mind. To help him love again, be loved in return, and find true happiness. But now he truly wondered if his grandfather had hated him in his last days. Plotted on his deathbed to destroy his only grandchild. Either that, or he had simply picked the wrong woman, was blinded by Ava Burns like the rest of the world.
Out of nowhere, his mother’s toxic voice appeared, grinding her way into his skull like a drill.
“I told you she only cared for your money.”
The voice grew louder and louder, until it was there to remain.
