I was reborn on the day my wife forced me to sign the divorce papers. In my previous life, I was begging her to stay, but she cleaned out everything I owned and eloped with her old flame. "Sign it, Malachi," Rhett said, sliding the papers across the table. Her nails were painted with the polish I'd given her for Christmas. "Ivan's waited ten years for me. Just let us have our chance." Ivan stood right behind her, his hand resting on the back of her chair, like he was marking his territory. I picked up the pen and, under everyone's stunned gaze, quickly signed my name. "I'll give you what you want," I said, tossing the pen down, my voice cold as ice. "But don't even think about touching a single thing that belongs to me." Rhett froze, and Ivan's phony smile stiffened on his face. I stood up and headed to the study, grabbing the safe key she'd hidden away for ten years. "What are you doing?" Rhett shrieked, rushing at me. I dangled the key in front of her. "I'm taking back my patents, my shares, and..." I glanced at Ivan, whose face had turned deathly pale. "The evidence of your embezzling company money." Everyone was dumbfounded. I walked to the door, turned back, and gave them a smile. "Don't ever break up. The rest of us don't need that kind of trouble," I said. From now on, I was the one making the rules.
