Chapter 9: No time to back out
It took Heaven all night to list down the names of all her suspects, it was nearly dawn when she had fallen asleep. That was why she was a little groggy to be woken up just a couple of hours before calling it a day, only to deal with the most pressing matter she currently had at hand.
"All the conditions are written in it. Read it if you must. Take your time." Heaven glanced up at the man sitting across from her in the mansion's garden.
Dominic, her husband, was already in his suit early in the morning. He had his leg resting over the other, drinking a cup of tea leisurely while reading something on his tablet.
'Man, what a beautiful sight early in the morning,' she thought, not bothering to look around her to appreciate the lush green and blooming flowers in the garden. Her focus was solely on this man with divine beauty, who was apparently asking for a divorce.
Heaven frowned before gazing down at the documents in front of her. 'They could have at least offered me coffee to function,' she thought. She mildly shook her head, trying to wake herself up.
The bags underneath her eyes were dark, and her hair was still all over the place. Heaven yawned indifferently as she picked up the documents, planning to pretend to read the divorce papers while she thought of a plan to delay it.
Little did she know, the man across from her was observing her from the corner of his eyes.
When Heaven yawned, his jaw slightly tightened and there was a thick vein that was pulsing on his head. They were discussing their divorce and yet, she was acting indifferent, like she didn't really care.
'What did I expect from her?' he gave out a silent self-mocking laugh. Then he shifted his focus back to his tablet. 'It's not like I didn't know she wanted this.'
