The Divorce Papers: Literally Writing Him Off novel Chapter 6

Avery's hand trembled as she signed the divorce papers. Her tears fell, staining the contract.

Ivy's lip curled in disdain. "How pathetic. You love Elijah with everything you have, yet you can't even get him to look your way."

Edwin's gaze softened with a hint of pity. "In the end, it's our family that owes you. What kind of compensation do you want in return?"

Choking on her tears, Avery whispered, "I just want one last week with Elijah. Can I give this to him after that?"

"Fine."

The moment Avery stepped out of the room, everything came crashing down. She broke into uncontrollable sobs, her body trembling from the torrent of emotions.

After three agonizing years, she finally held the divorce papers in her hands.

She had braced herself for a battle, but the ease with which it unfolded left her stunned.

Tears streamed down her cheeks, and her heart pounded in her chest.

Moved by her pain, it seemed the heavens had finally given her a chance at a new beginning.

In one week, her contract with Walter would come to an end. After that, everything would be over.

Avery took a deep breath, trying to steady herself.

All of a sudden, the sound of moaning echoed from the room beside hers.

"Eli, please… Be gentle. What if someone hears us?" Lara protested half-heartedly, her voice thick with longing.

"So what? Who would dare say a word?" Elijah's answer slipped out in a low, magnetic rasp.

His voice was heard through the thin wall, cutting into Avery's ears like a cruel echo.

Soon, Lara's moans intensified, rising alongside the ceaseless banging of the door.

This room was supposed to be Avery's bedroom in the Tarver residence, yet they had converted it into a hideaway for their affair.

Avery let out a bitter laugh. Just as she was about to turn and leave, the door swung open.

Despite being caught in the act, Elijah showed no sign of panic. It didn't matter that his wife had just discovered him.

He merely frowned at Avery, clearly annoyed by the interruption. "What are you doing here?"

From inside, Lara's sweet voice rang out. "Is that the maid, Eli? Could you have her bring me a dress?"
