Chapter 12: Ways to end a marriage (2)
"She’s not here to fight with you," said Xavier.
Selene became concerned when Xavier only mentioned that she didn’t want to fight. It left the thought that he might want to fight.
"I am not going to discuss my wife with you or any other man," Gabriel said, needing Xavier out of the way. "I mean no trouble with you but you are getting involved in my marriage."
"Our marriage is over. I want a divorce and I shall soon send the request for it. I informed you about this before I left last night," Selene said, knowing Gabriel didn’t take it seriously.
Gabriel wasn’t ready to let go of Selene. The plan was to let her wander the night and return to her place in the morning. "I am not ready for a divorce. We need to send Lord Blackthorn off and speak alone."
Selene looked ahead at Cassandra coming toward them. It was never going to be just the two of them anymore. "I am serious about the divorce and there is nothing to be said that can change my mind. You knew what Elsie meant to me yet you killed her without speaking to me first."
"She harmed my woman," Gabriel replied.
Selene smiled but there was a tightness to it from her forcing it. "You already have your woman so what do you need me for? You wish to marry her so I am giving you the freedom to do so without asking the king to have a second wife. I have come for what belongs to me."
"I am not divorcing you," Gabriel said, refusing to let her have her way.
