He ignored my words, still trying to pull me closer.
“You must be drunk and not thinking
straight. We’re still married. I never agreed to divorce.”
I raised my hand and slapped him.
“Shayden, I think your affair has clouded your mind. You don’t even remember signing the papers at noon!”
As my words fell, Kenton pulled out the agreement I had given him earlier and unfolded it.
“Black and white, you can’t deny it now.”
Seeing the divorce agreement with his signature, Shayden lunged to grab it, but Kenton kicked him to the ground.

“We haven’t divorced, right?”
“This must all be a dream…”
I kicked him away, watching him like trash.
“Shayden, you should know me well enough. I never lie to you.”
“When I told you I loved you, it was sincere. Now, when I say I want a divorce, that’s just as real.”
He didn’t believe it.
“You’re lying!”
“You wore that red dress to the dinner because of me. I know everything, I know!”
Shayden staggered to his feet, stumbling

toward me, his voice pleading.
“Honey, you barely ever get mad at me. Was it because Giles and the others went too far with their jokes?”
“Or is it because of me and Feryal? She was the one who seduced me first! I swear I won’t go near her again, please, just let me stay far from her, okay?”
“Let’s stop this. Come home with me, please?”
I felt Kenton’s gaze on me.
He seemed nervous.
I tightened my grip on his hand, calmly stepping back, distancing myself from Shayden.

“This red dress today is for matching with Kenton.”
“Shayden, stop getting ahead of yourself!”
“Once, I chased after you with all my heart, but you didn’t cherish it. You trampled on it, devalued it until it meant nothing.”
“Your little underlings mocked and humiliated me, and you ignored it.”
“Between me and my sister, you always chose her and left me behind.”
“I’ve waited too long. I don’t want to wait for you anymore.”
I threw my wedding ring at Shayden’s feet, saying a final goodbye to the past.
“Your cheap silver ring? Keep it for someone

else.”
When Kenton and I were surrounded by his is handsome little underlings as we exiteded through the back door, everyone wisely ly disappeared without a word.
The night wind hit me, and I felt a wave of relief.
I removed the pinky ring, returning it to its rightful owner.
“What does this mean?”
Kenton
looked at me without taking it.
I could feel his anger, though I couldn’t quite te understand why.
“The play is over. I no longer have any needed to keep it.”

In truth, I could’ve just left with my luggage after handing over the divorce papers at
noon.
But I feared Shayden would think I was joking and would harass me later, so I needed to make a public statement.
Having Kenton pretend to be my new lover was just a bonus.
“Kenton, thank you today. If you ever need help in the future, just ask!”
I turned to leave, but a large hand grabbed me. My world spun as I was pressed against the car door.
His breath was dangerously close.
But then, a tear fell onto my face.
