Chapter 86 Divorce
"You got what you’ve always wanted. Revenge. I think that’s enough." Kingsley’s voice flooded into her thoughts, messing with them until they were disoriented.
Jasmine raised her eyes to meet his. Grateful?? Relieved?? Maybe but the sparks were not there.
She had always dreamt of this day. The day she’ll finally get her revenge and see Jack’s empire fall....she had imagined the different scenarios. But now that it happened—she felt neither of the things she had thought.
Inside, it felt like it was just another unfortunate incident that happened to someone she disliked. The sparks were gone and the burning fire was turned off.
Maybe because that wasn’t what she wanted anymore. Along the way, she went astray and fell in love instead. And the love overcame her thirst for revenge. It had subdued it.
"Kingsley...." Jasmine shook her head.
Kingsley cut in on her words. Unable to continue with his cold facade...he found it hard to be harsh to this woman who held his heart. He just wanted to leave her face. "I’ll give you time to think about this." With that, he turned around to leave but Jasmine stood up, wanting to rush after him.
Kingsley paused close to the door. Of course, he heard her stand up from her chair and made to run after him. Or to hug him from behind—maybe, just maybe that would be his ticket to drop all of his revenge plans and scatter all of those thoughts to leave her. But that warmth never came.
Jasmine paused instead, watching him. She was done loving someone willing to leave her behind...if he loved her enough, he would turn around and fucking come to her so they could sort out whatever this was.
