Sir Your Wife Already Signed the Divorce Paper by Josie Johnson

Chapter 13

Chapter 13: Shame

The deafening silence filled the room. However, halfway through it, Troy found his voice to speak, “I’m sorry, I’m just worried.”

‘Sorry,‘ the word echoed in her mind. ‘Ah.”

They were married for three years; that was all she ever received–a simple word, “Sorry.”

“I’m sorry. I will compensate you whatever you want but don’t involve Sarah. She doesn’t know about our marriage, so don’t do anything to her.”

Hearing that made Imogen smile bitterly.

This was Troy, her husband. He was apologizing, but there was a threat if she considered putting Sarah in danger.

It was all tiring, so instead of defending herself, she said, “It’s up to you.”

After that conversation, she strode out of his office. It could be seen in her expression how disheartened she was.

All that Troy could do was look at Imogen’s vanishing figure. He squinted his eyes slightly, and his eyes darkened.

Suddenly, his phone rang. Troy glanced at his phone screen and answered the call.

“We are trending again. I’m sorry, Troy, it won’t happen again,” Sarah’s voice came from the other side of the line.

There was no response from him, so Sarah called his name again. That was when Troy regained his composure. He blinked before answering, “It’s okay. I’ve already dealt with it, and it won’t impact you.”

“Really? Thank you, Troy. That’s nice of you.”

When Sarah hung up the call, Ylah, who was with her, couldn’t help but sigh.

“Good,” she started. “But what if Imogen reveals their marriage to the public? What will you do?” Sarah glanced at the blackened screen of her phone and said confidently, “She won’t.”

Women’s intuition was the most accurate. It was the same reason she realized Imogen liked Troy three years ago.

The woman hid her feelings well, but Sarah still knew about it. So to remain on Troy’s side, she was sure Imogen would not act recklessly.

Recently, he was always lost in his thoughts whenever she was out with Troy. That was when she realized she had to push him to divorce his wife as soon as possible to avoid unnecessary trouble. Returning to the office, Imogen took the divorce papers from the folder and placed them on her table. She was in a daze for a long time before; finally, she signed her name one stroke at a time. Troy’s heart was not with her; why should she force him to love her? It was better to end the marriage that way. And from then on, they were no longer husband and wife in her mind. After settling what had to be fixed, she called in her assistant and declared, “Send this document to Mr. Marshall’s office.”

As expected, the assistant did what she ordered. On his way there, holding the document, he met Mr. Jordan at the entrance of the CEO’s office. “Mr. Jordan, this is the document Director Forbes wants to give Mr. Marshall. Could you please send it to him?”

As he held onto the document, he reported things to his boss, and when it was done, he handed

the paper. “Sir, Director Forbes wanted to give this to you.”

Troy was baffled, and his eyebrows furrowed. “What document is it?”

“She didn’t say anything. I think you’ll know after reading it, Sir,” he muttered.

Sighing, Troy waved his hand, and Mr. Jordan left the office. When left alone, he opened the folder and saw the prominent characters: the divorce agreement.

Shocked, his eyes widened, and he quickly flipped to the last page. There he saw Imogen’s

signature, neat and precise.

Troy had to admit that Imogen’s signature was as beautiful as the company’s employees said. Even her signature in a divorce agreement fell within expectations.

Troy stared at the papers for a long time before closing the folder and leaning against the back of the chair, his brows still creased.

On the other side, Imogen received a phone call from someone close to her heart.

“Imogen, it’s me.”

“Grandma! Why did you call?” She tried to make her voice sound

“I haven’t seen you for a long time. Grandma missed you. Have lunch with me today, okay? I’ll cook your favorite dish!” The older woman exclaimed.

“Sure, Grandma, let’s see each other later.” Imogen knew that the two older people must also have heard about the issues circulating online and on the news, the reason why they asked for her

presence.

“Remember to call Troy. We don’t care if he’s busy. If he dares not to come, I’ll beat him up.”

“Yes, yes,

don’t worry, Grandma.”

It seemed that the older woman also called her soon–to–be ex–husband. Because as soon as she finished work, she received a message.

From: Troy

[Are you finished? Come to the parking area if you’re done.]

She replied, “Fine.”

As said, Imogen went to the parking area and spotted his car there. She quickly opened the car door and slipped in.

When the engine started, there was nothing but silence between them. It was already halfway when Troy glanced at her and decided to talk, “Grandma asked us to return; it must be because of the news. If nothing unexpected happens, I will find a chance to bring up the divorce with them.”

Imogen’s heart ached as she nodded softly, silently watching the street flickering past outside the car window.

He was so eager and had been waiting for this day for a long time. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
