The next morning, Estelle woke up by the glare of the sun.
She felt a wave of sharp pain all over her body, but her heart was empty like a body without a soul.
Skyler did not kiss her once. It was as if he simply completed a task without any emotion and affection.
Feelings of dismal gushed her heart.
The side of the bed where he laid was already absent o f his warmth and there was no sight of him around the mansion. Skyler had already left.
It took all her might just to get out of bed. While holding in the pain, Estelle tidied up the mess on the bed.
Skyler left his tie on the bedroom floor. He must have been in a rush to leave.
She picked up the tie and folded it neatly. She put the tie in her purse and kept it together with a photo of her baby.
"Little one, wait for me a bit more all right? I'm trying my best and I’ll do whatever it takes to save you. Give mommy a bit more time okay?" She sniffled while gently stroking the little face on the photo.
Tears fell from the corners of her eyes and dropped on the photo she was holding.
Wiping away the tears on the photo, her eyes were filled with gentleness. "This world seems to hate mommy a lot. It wants to take away everything that I have, it wants to take away you from me too. But it's okay, mommy still has you and you're everything to m e. As long as you're well and alive, mommy can go through all the hurt and injustices." 2
There was a file of documents left on the desk.
Skyler must have left it there.
With care, she kept the photo back in her purse and took a look at the documents.
As expected, it was the divorce paper.
Estelle roughly scanned through the document. The terms included in the divorce paper were similar to those previous ones that Skyler had brought over and there were no unusual terms added.
