Chapter 10 The moment Mrs. Caldwell caught sight of the deep red divorce certificate , a flicker of triumph danced in her eyes . She quickly suppressed it , replacing it with a dramatic sigh , though the smugness in her voice still bled through . " Well , I suppose this is for the best , " she said , feigning regret . " At least she finally came to her senses . " Brandon lifted his gaze to her . " What ? " " Last night , " she replied casually , " the housekeeper told me she stood outside your bedroom door for quite a while ... then left . " The air seemed to freeze . Brandon's breath caught in his throat . A dull ringing filled his ears like an alarm , then came the explosion in his mind . Last night . He suddenly remembered Vanessa draped around him , whispering in a syrupy voice , " Brandon , do you regret marrying her ? " And in that haze of lust and guilt , he'd murmured one word : " Yes . " Now , thinking back ... Evelyn must have heard it . All the color drained from his face . His fists clenched tight . " Mrs. Caldwell ... " Vanessa's voice broke the silence . Her eyes shimmered with tears . " Please don't blame her . This is all my fault . " Mrs. Caldwell scoffed . " What fault ? If it weren't for that woman- " That's enough ! " Brandon snapped , his voice hoarse and sharp . " Just go . Both of you . " The chill in his tone was unmistakable . Vanessa and Mrs. Caldwell exchanged glances , but didn't argue . Vanessa quietly wheeled her away . The living room fell into a heavy silence . Brandon stood alone , chest heaving . He stumbled to the couch and dropped into it , eyes fixed on the divorce certificate still lying on the coffee table . He should've gone with Evelyn to the courthouse this morning . He should've been the one to withdraw the divorce application . But instead, all he said was : " You handle it . I'll spend a couple more days entertaining them . Everything will be back to normal after that . " Chapter 10 38.46 And Evelyn had only nodded , head bowed , voice soft : " Okay . " Now that he thought about it ... her voice had been too calm . Like she had already made up her mind . A crushing pressure spread through Brandon's chest , suffocating him . He remembered the way she stood quietly in the corner at the wedding yesterday , tears silently falling down her cheeks . He remembered last night , when he'd drowned in lust and guilt , and whispered " I regret it " to another woman . He remembered this morning , brushing it all off as if nothing mattered - telling her to handle it . And she did . Just not the way he expected . She hadn't withdrawn the application . She'd finalized the divorce . " No ... " he choked out , fingers trembling as he picked up the booklet , as if gripping it hard enough could undo what was already done . But the official seal was real . The date , brutal in its clarity . She had really left him . The realization struck him like a hammer to the chest , knocking the air from his lungs . He shot to his feet , snatching his car keys and heading for the door . But just as he reached for the handle , he froze . Divorce . Wasn't that what he always said he wanted ? Then why did it feel like his entire chest was caving in ?
