Happily Divorced

Synopsis

The day I was discharged from the hospital, Charles Sterling came to pick me up. He brought my favorite cake and divorce papers. Without a hint of remorse on his face, he said, "Julia is coming back from overseas, so..." I looked down at the divorce papers, which stated that the company would belong to him, while all other assets would belong to me and our child. That was excellent. It was precisely what I wanted. Still, I feigned displeasure, furrowing my brow slightly. "Charles, we worked hard to build this company together over the years. Are you really that eager to kick me out?" Charles pushed a pen toward me. "You know we only started the company to fulfill Julia's dream. So, other than the company, everything else is yours." I took the pen from his hand and signed the papers instantly, worried he might change his mind. My lack of tears or protest seemed to genuinely surprise him. "Does our four-year marriage mean nothing to you?" I glanced at the baby in my arms, then gave him a small smile. "I wish you and Ms. Bennett a lifetime of happiness."
