Aurora looked anxious. In front of her sat both of her parents, along with Asher and Rayyen.After much thought, weighing all possible risks, Aurora decided to inform her parents about the turmoil that had occurred in her marriage.Aurora knew her parents would be shocked, especially her mother, who would undoubtedly be shocked when she heard the story. That's why she brought Asher and Rayyen along to help explain and reassure."So... what do you want to tell us, Aurora?"Joshua asked in front of Aurora, patiently waiting for his daughter who allegedly wanted to talk seriously tonight."I-it's about my marriage, Pa.""What's wrong with your marriage?"Elma chimed in. Her two brown eyes suddenly stared intensely at the visibly nervous figure of her daughter. Joshua did the same. His brow furrowed as he sensed something amiss."What about your marriage and Alex?" the middle-aged woman repeated. "Is there a problem?"Aurora nodded fearfully. For God's sake, she didn't want to hurt her pa
This morning, Aurora was willing to sit at the same table with Alex. Feeling that there was something that needed to be addressed, she deliberately took the time to speak directly with the man who had been her husband for two years."Tomorrow, it's our first divorce hearing. I want, you don't need to attend so that the process can proceed quickly without the need for further mediation."In his seat, Alex seemed to sigh quietly. Judging from the expression he displayed, there seemed to be a reluctance that soon he would be divorcing Aurora."Is it really true that there's no chance for me to fix all of this?"Aurora chuckled instead. She looked at Alex's face while shaking her head. She couldn't believe the audacity of the man in front of her."Oh my God, Alex. Am I hearing correctly? You're asking about chances? Wasn't it me who already did that before?""I know, Aurora. But it's just---""But, didn't you fail to make use of that chance properly?" Aurora interrupted immediately. "I've
Aurora had just finished all her work. Glancing at the digital clock on the wall of the room, it was now break time. She quickly got up and prepared. Aurora clearly remembered that she had an appointment to meet Rayyen this afternoon to discuss her divorce."Aurora..."Aurora, who had just taken off her doctor's coat, reflexively turned. At the doorway, she found Alden standing there with an ice cream in his hand."Hey?"Aurora approached. She walked towards Alden who was standing at the door."What's up?""This." Alden then handed her a cup of ice cream in his hand."This is for me?"Alden nodded."Yes. Earlier, I happened to buy quite a lot of ice cream for the nurses on duty. I remembered that you liked blueberry ice cream, right?""Absolutely," Aurora replied happily. She felt a twinge of emotion because Alden still remembered her favorite ice cream that she used to eat often. "By the way, thanks a lot for the ice cream. I'll eat it on the way.""Are you going somewhere?""I'm goi
"You shouldn't be so excessive in talking to Aurora. However, she's the owner of this house."Alex then sipped his jasmine tea slowly from his cup. He grumbled, warning Nicole."Who's being excessive?"Nicole suddenly became angry. She felt somewhat offended when Alex reprimanded her behavior, which was considered rude because she suddenly joined the conversation and ended up saying all sorts of things.After Aurora left, Alex didn't immediately leave. He chose to finish his breakfast first, then intentionally engaged in a serious conversation with Nicole."Even if there's a division of assets after divorce, I don't have the right to ask for this house to be a part of it.""Well, ask for it, Honey. After all, you're her husband. It would be nice if we could leave this house to our children together."Alex shook his head in disbelief. He couldn't understand why Nicole and her mother were so insistent on taking control of Aurora's house, which actually belonged to her."Are you stupid o
Alex sighed deeply. Slightly annoyed, he drove his car to one of the malls. He should be finishing his work by now. But his mother called and asked to be picked up immediately at the hospital."As a good future husband, you should be able to take Nicole wherever she needs to go. Especially if it's to find your wedding dress.""But, it doesn't have to be now, Ma. Alex is still working."Alex breathed frustratedly. This wasn't the first time his work schedule had been disrupted because he had to obey his mother's orders."Well, it has to be now. When else? Besides, time is running out. Aurora said you'll officially divorce soon. If it's true that you'll separate this week, Mama wants you and Nicole to have the wedding party by the end of the month."Nicole, who was sitting in the back seat, smiled broadly. This was what she had been waiting for since the beginning."The end of the month? That's just seven or eight days away. Isn't that tight?""No," Savana replied casually. "And it has
Rayyen couldn't help but laugh at Aurora's story. They were sitting in one of the renowned coffee shops, relaxing with their two cousins after enjoying lunch.Meanwhile, Alden, having finished his lunch, opted to head home early. Aware that Aurora would be having a serious conversation with her siblings, he decided to give them space, not wanting to interfere in the slightest. He realized he was just another person in the mix."So, have you blocked all of Alex's credit cards?" Aurora was sitting leisurely, without a care in the world. She blinked her sparkling eyes and let out a small laugh. Earlier, she had indeed instructed bank officials to freeze all of Alex's credit cards without exception. Moreover, there was a reason why Aurora had suddenly taken such action."Yeah. I did it on purpose.""Hahaha, that's so wicked.""Let it be." Aurora responded nonchalantly. Her face seemed satisfied with what she had done to her ex-husband. "It's lucky they were just credit cards. If I wanted
"Congratulations, Aurora. Today you've officially acquired a new status."In Rayyen's workspace, Aurora appeared visibly happy as she received the documents just handed to her by her cousin. Starting today, from this moment forward, she was officially divorced and held the status of a widow.Aurora knew this wasn't an achievement to boast about. In fact, some people out there regarded being a widow as a disgrace that would subject someone to judgmental looks.However, Aurora wouldn't let that happen. No matter who it was, nobody had the right to demean her. And most importantly, after this divorce, she could finally break free from the Toxic family that had weighed her down."Thank you so much, Ray. Thanks to your help, my divorce process could finally be completed quickly. And now, I can truly be free from Alex and his family."Rayyen could see the sparkle in those brown eyes filled with happiness. Aurora was relishing the euphoria of freedom that she had patiently awaited for so lon
Savana seemed to waste no time in holding the wedding ceremony for her beloved only son. Just five days after officially becoming a widower, today she escorted Alex to marry Nicole, making her his lawful wife as a replacement for Aurora.Held in a multipurpose hall, many guests were present. Most of them were from families, relatives, and a few close friends.The international-themed wedding party lasted until the evening. When the event was over, Alex immediately took Nicole and Savana back home.However, as they entered the mother's residence complex, the three of them were surprised. Along the way to the house, they found flower arrangements sent to them, the messages of which infuriated Savana.Instead of receiving congratulatory flower arrangements for the wedding, Aurora sent condolence flowers for Alex and Nicole's wedding."Condolences for the wedding of a wicked couple.""Congratulations on entering a new hell for the adulterous couple.""Congratulations on starting a new lif
