Early the next morning , I received the signed divorce papers and a letter of engagement . No surprise there . Alexander cared way too much about his reputation . Since hed taken this case , there was no way hed back out now . And to win , he needed me . So signing those papers ? That was just a necessary evil . William had already left he had new cases to deal with . I stayed behind to handle Maries mess . I wasnt working out of the firm , though . Everything was being handled from my hotel room . At some point , Alexander stopped by . All your stuff is still at the house . If you dont want to come back to the office , at least come home . I shook my head . Thats not my home anymore . And as for my stuff , just toss it . I dont need any of it . He opened his mouth , hesitated , then closed it again … He wanted me to stay , but he had no idea how to say it . 88.9 % Chapter 17 There was never any passion in our marriage it just sort of … happened . So now that it was ending , it only made sense to let it go . Alexander knew hed neglected me . He was a lawyer , and his world was black and white . Everything had a logical explanation . Telling himself he didnt realize was just another excuse . And now that Id called him out on it , he couldnt ignore his own hypocrisy anymore . Honestly , that was fine by me . If hed suddenly started begging , that wouldve been way more out of character . That wasnt who he was . And it wasnt who I was , either . You should probably stop dropping by . I wear makeup , you wont like it . Still , to my surprise , Alexander actually started taking care of me . During the time I spent handling Maries case , he was more attentive than hed ever been in our five years of marriage . At that point , I wasnt even sure if it was for me … or for Marie .
