Chapter 3
When Darius returned, the lawyer had already sent me the divorce papers.
While they were lovingly tending to her wound, I went to the study to print them out
“Just sign here.”
I walked over to the two people sitting close together on the couch and handed over the pen and contract.
Darns instinctively reached for it, but when he saw that I was holding the pen, his hand froze in midair and he quickly pulled back
After a tense moment, he tried to sound casual
“What is this?”
I answered offhandedly. “Just a small contract.
“Oh, that Sterling Industries deal you set up, right? Just leave it there. I’ll sign it later.“[]
I stared straight at him.
“Why won’t you sign it now, Darius? Is it because I touched this pen and you don’t want to use it?“]
Darius sighed
“lvy, you’re overthinking this. The reason I react to you is because I see you as a woman. It’s a symbol of my love for you. Stop being so paranoid.”
With that he turned his head and nodded at Celeste.]
“Celeste, as my personal assistant, help me sign this contract. Ivy arranged this partnership, and I trust her, so just sign it directly.“]
Celeste winked playfully. “Yes, boss“]
last page, at
Then she took the papers from my hand, flipped to the last page, and skillfully forged Darius’s signature.
When she handed it back to me, she seemed to realize it was a divorce agreement and gave me a meaningful look, but didn’t say anything]
“All done, Darius. I put the contract in your bag
Darius nodded lazily and put down his phone.
“Ivy, don’t be mad. I made a reservation at a Japanese restaurant–I’ll treat you to some marinated sashimi tonight.”]]
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing)
“Darius, do you remember 1 just got pregnant? Are you thinking about your child at all? Is that something I can eat right now?“||
Having his offer rejected, Darius couldn’t help but darken his expression
“Could you please stop being so dramatic? I told you your body wasn’t suitable for pregnancy, but you insisted on getting pregnant anyway. I’m allergic to women–I can’t do that kind of thing. You knew from the start that IVF was the only option. You brought this on yourself, so why are you blaming
“I’m busy as hell every day, but I still make time to be with yo
with you and keep you hi
you happy. What more do you want?”
With that, Darius stood up
I up and put on his suit jacket.[]
“I was planning to celebrate closing the Sterling deal with you, but since you don’t want to go, I’ll take Celeste to dinner with my colleagues instead. You just rest up.”
Hearing this, Celeste immediately clung to him, tugging on his sleeve and whining
“Oh, yes! Darius, we haven’t been out together in ages. Let’s get absolutely wasted tonight!|||
Watching this scene unfold, I felt a wave of dizziness, and sharp pains shot through my lower abdomen.]
Alarmed. I grabbed Darius’s sleeve
“Darius, the baby-”
But Darius’s face instantly filled with terror. Like he’d seen the plague, he jumped back and showed me to the ground
“I told you not to touch me 111 break out in hives! I could diet“]]
Darius immediately stripped off his jacket–the area where I’d touched him was already red and swollen
My back hit the edge of the table hard, making me gasp in pain, and a pool of bloody fluid was already flowing beneath me.
Terrified. I grabbed at Darius’s arm, begging.
“Save the baby…please save my baby!
