For the fifteenth time, I walked in on Mike Luther cheating right in front of me. I was holding the divorce papers I'd just signed. The girl wrapped around Mike shrank back, clearly terrified. Mike just frowned and asked, "Why are you here?" I slapped the divorce papers onto the coffee table, and the pen rolled to his feet. "Sign it," I demanded. He glanced at the 'voluntarily giving up all assets' clause and smirked. "What trick are you pulling this time? Last time you trashed the kitchen, now you're trying to get sympathy?" he sneered. The girl clung to his sleeve, quietly sobbing, and he protectively stepped in front of her. "Julian's still young. Don't scare her," he said. I didn't even look at the girl. I just rapped my fingertip against the papers, cold and resolute. "This is your last chance. Sign it, and I'm gone the moment you do," I said. He finally wiped the smirk off his face, picked up the papers, and flipped through a couple of pages. "Didn't you say you'd drag this out until I was left with nothing?" he asked. I curled my lips in a bitter smile, pulled the pregnancy report from my bag, and slapped it down next to the divorce papers. "I'm done. The baby inside me? I don't want it carrying your name," I said.
