“The Divorce Agreement.”

Finn’s chest tightened suddenly,

How the hell did Charles end up with a divorce paper Tess had already signed? And why would she even do that on her own?

He kept thinking about how weird Charles had been acting ever since he walked in–like everything had to happen right now.

Finn’s breath hitched. His eyes–already dark–looked even colder now, like all the warmth had been drained out.

So that’s why I couldn’t track her down?

She hadn’t gone back home… She’d been with Charles this whole time?

Finn’s eyes landed on the name “Tess,” and he just stared, like he was trying to burn right through the page.

Did Charles hand over the divorce papers by accident, or was he purposely trying to fool Finn into signing and going along with the split? /

Or… was this actually what Tess wanted?

“Zane,”

Finn hit the intercom button, his tone flat and ice–cold.

While waiting on Zane, Finn went ahead and signed every contract Charles had handed over–except the divorce one. That spot for his signature stayed empty.

When Zane finally walked in, he saw Finn locked in a cold stare at just one sheet on the desk.

“Mr. Lock?”

Zane asked quietly.

Snapping out of it, Finn grabbed the divorce paper and signed it without even blinking

Zane leaned in to see better, and the moment he spotted the words “Divorce Agreement, his eyes went wide. “Mr. Lock … is….. is this for real?” he stammered.

He blinked hard, almost like he didn’t believe what he was seeing. Tess’s name was right there at the end–clear as day.

It wasn’t until Finn quietly slid the paper back into the pile that Zane, quick as ever, noticed the signature.

Finn.

Zane was stunned.

After deciding there was no way his boss had changed his name, Zane glanced up and locked eyes with Finn’s blank stare,

A moment later, the two walked out of the office one after the other. Finn handed the stack of papers to Charles with a smirk. “Mr. Jackman, you’re really looking out for your staff. Would’ve been rude of me to keep you waiting

He gave a slight smile, but his eyes stayed cold and empty, like a deep, black void,

Out of nowhere, a shiver ran down Charles’s arms.

Finn had never been easy to read, but there was something different in his eyes now–something that made Charles uneasy, maybe even scared.

Whatever calm he had managed to hold onto completely vanished.

Did Mr. Lock… know something?

Charles snuck another quick look at Finn, but his face gave away nothing. With no other option, he reached out and took the

papers.

The movie was almost over, so he didn’t look at the divorce papers again. Instead, he left them at home and rushed to the theater.
