Chapter 10
“No, Renes i finally found you how could I possibly let you leave me again? 1 never signed those divorce papers. That means you’re still my wife’s
Ine, furning, was about to lunge at him, but I held her back No need to dirty her hands%
1 turned to Garrett and let out a cold, mocking laugh #
So what exactly do you want, Ganett? You expect me to go back, play the dutiful vote again? I’ve lost eight children because of you lomige para sorocas s can’t provide your precious Tania with her ‘supplements‘ any longer. She must have had your child by now so why are you really herer
Garrett’s face went pale. He shook his head desperately %
“No, Renee, it wasn’t like that “#
“And the bodies of our children? I wasn’t the one who gave them to her. She bribed people around me to do it, just to get to you f’d never be so crud-%
I cut him off with a sharp, bitter laugh
“So just because you weren’t the one who handed them over, you’re innocent? That means I should forgive you?“%
“She may have stolen their bodies, but you’re the one who killed them, Garrett. You killed every single one. How you stand here making excuses? Don’t you find that laughable?“%
Garrett’s eyes brimmed with quilt.%
“Renee, I’m sorry I really know I was wrong”

“I’ve already made Tania end her pregnancy. She won’t come between us anymore. If you want, I’ll even fight for the CEO position. Renee, I’ll do anything–anything at all–if you’ll just come home with me,“%
I stared straight into his tear filled eyes and spoke each word with icy precision%
“Then go die “%
“What?”
Garrett froze, his eyes wide with disbelief.
“You said you’d do anything. So go ahead–die, and pay for the lives of my children“%
For the first time, I saw Garrett truly lost for words.%
“Renee, do you really hate me that much?“%
“Yes. I don’t just hate you I’m disgusted by you. Just seeing you makes me sick to my stomach. So do us both a favor and get as far away from me as possible. Understand?“%
The blow hit him hard. He collapsed to his knees in front of me, sobbing uncontrollably.%
I looked down at him, utterly numb.
“Garrett, when I married you, I genuinely believed we could spend our lives together. But what did you do? For Tania, you made me abort our children again and again, watching as my body grew weaker and weaker while your mother and everyone else sneered at me.“%
“And even then, I begged you–I begged you not to make me drink that glass of milk. But you forced it down my throat anyway*%
“I never cared about being the CEO’s wife. Your money, your status–it meant nothing to me. Even being your wife–I would have given it up in a heartbeat if you’d just told me I would have taken our children and disappeared from your life forever. But you never gave me that chance. You took it upon yourself to strip me of my right to be a mother, forcing me to suffer through the loss of our children time and time again.“%
“Let’s face it, Garrett. In your eyes, I was never even a person.“%
Garrett shook his head, tears streaming down his face.%
“No, that’s not true. It’s not-%
“Garrett, I’m happy now Leaving you was the best thing that ever happened to me. I’m finally free. If you really want to make it up to me, sign the divorce papers and never show your face again“%
I didn’t look back. I turned and walked away.%
Without warning, Ins dumped an entire basket of reeking fish and shrimp over Garrett’s head, then slammed the empty basket against him.
“Garrett, if you have even a shred of decency left, leave Renee alone. Don’t ever come back.”%
Garrett stayed on his knees for a long time, enduring the stares and whispers of everyone around us, until finally, in the dead of night, he staggered away!
