Chapter 2 Quit or Divorcel
That laugh was like a harsh slap, waking her up from her delusions.
“Oh, you never did,” she muttered, her face turning pale. “Okay. I was just being silly.”
“Then….” Mia gave a bitter smile. “Let’s get divorced.”

Ethan stared at her in shock for a few seconds, his brows furrowing as he glared at her coldly,
He’d thought after spending a night in the utility room, Mia would apologize and give in, just like she always did. He’d expected her to quit her job as the hospital’s department head without complaint. O
He’d never imagined she’d be the one to say “divorce.”
Absolutely ridicule’s truly unrepentant!
Mia watched his reaction, then laughed at herself.
She’d always obeyed Ethan without question. Now that she’d finally stood up to him, his surprise was hardly unexpected.
She took a deep breath and repeated herself, her voice steady despite his stunned silence. “Ethan Hale, let’s get divorced.”
With those words, she lifted her head and stepped over the threshold.
She walked slowly. The low fever from the day before had worsened in the damp, cold air. The blows from Margaret’s cane left her back aching. The memory of creatures scurrying over her fingers sent shivers down her spine.
Even so, she kept moving forward, determined.
She was leaving this place, leaving the Hale family, leaving the marriage she’d once thought would last a lifetime.
