Chapter 16: Too much
The next day rolled in without a hitch. Throughout the night, Heaven thought of ways and subtle methods to buy herself some time but to no avail. All she could do was accept this divorce with a heavy heart.
Until came the time Dominic walked into the private room where she had stayed for the night.
When Dominic came back, Heaven was no longer connected to an IV drip. He heard she could be discharged today, but he didn't think she was already prepared.
Heaven was sitting on the chair near the corner window with another armchair across from her and a round table in between. She already changed from a hospital gown to a casual shirt and denim pants.
No words were said even when he sat across from her. Another man, his assistant, came in with him. However, the man only placed the brown envelope on the table between the husband and wife before leaving them alone.
This was a matter no one should interfere with their affair aside from the two of them.
Heaven looked at the envelope with an ominous feeling. 'So, those inside this envelope contain the papers that will end this marriage, huh? Surely, all the mails I get only bring bad news. Be it then or now.'Heaven slowly raised her eyes at the imposing man across from her.
"If you have any questions, feel free to ask," Dominic said, breaking the prolonged silence between them, gesturing for her to take the envelope. "If you're satisfied, then simply sign them. I'd send them over to my lawyers so they can file it as soon as possible."
'Man, is he that excited about getting a divorce?'Heaven thought, mentally clicking her tongue, misunderstanding the urgency in his remarks. 'Fine. I'll just pretend to read before I sign.'
