After I Left, He Realized Who I Was

Synopsis

"Sign right here." Jasper Goodman tossed a document onto the coffee table in front of Charlotte Summers. It landed with a dull, heavy thud. The three words were cold and sharp, like ice cracking under her feet. Charlotte pulled her gaze away from the television and let it rest on the papers before her. The bold black letters spelling out Divorce Agreement burned into her vision like a brand. Three years of marriage. And this was what he gave her for their anniversary. "Why?" she asked. Her voice was quiet and steady. There was no tremor, no crack. Jasper tugged at his tie, his handsome face twisted with impatience and open contempt. "Charlotte, spare me the act. You're embarrassing yourself. "You think I haven't figured out what you've been doing to Emily?" He leaned forward, planting both hands on the coffee table. His presence pressed down on her like a weight she couldn't shake off. "Three years ago, you schemed and clawed your way into Emily's spot as my wife. "Three years I've swallowed my disgust and smiled for the cameras. And that's still not enough for you? "And now you're going after the Lane family's deal, trying to strip Emily of everything she has left? "What's wrong with you? You got a heart in there at all?" Every word was a poisoned dart, each one finding its mark deep in the hollow of her chest. Emily Lane was Jasper's first love. She was the one he had put on a pedestal and never once taken down.
