Aaron’s hand trembled. His gaze then turned dark.
“Must you divorce me?”
I nodded without a doubt.
From the start of our marriage, I knew that someone as smart and handsome as Aaron would have many women pursuing him. I used to have faith in our relationship and thought that he would never divorce me.
I even once thought that as long as he still loved me, I could forgive him if he slept with someone else.
However, I didn’t think that he would also stop loving me.
I couldn’t take it anymore. I couldn’t bear it anymore.
Aaron walked into the study and fetched a stack of documents before throwing it on the table before me.
“Kat, you know that you attract a lot of attention every time you go out drinking with the clients. I’ve always been afraid that they would one day steal you away.
“That’s why I had a backup plan. If you divorce me, you’ll be the one paying the price.”
I flipped open the pages and looked at Aaron. It seemed that I had never quite understood him after all.
I thought that he was only good at creative things. I never thought that he would lay a trap for me in the partnership contract that we signed.
If we got divorced, then I would be left penniless and wouldn’t get a single dime from the company.
Back when I signed the contract, I was so focused on pursuing him that I didn’t carefully review the details.
All I knew was that Aaron would now be forever tied to me. He would put me in charge of all his projects, and I would make them come true for him. I was going to make him unable to leave me.
Aaron had given me 55% of the company’s shares, and that made me lower my guard even more. I thought that he didn’t love money as much as I did. It was also because I thought he was this naïve that I fell in love with him even more.
But in the end, Aaron only knew how to handle the creative side of things.
On the other hand, I loved money, so I could bring our business to the highest value possible. Then, I would sell off all of my shares.
When that time came, someone else would be in charge of the company, and he would no longer be able to create as he pleased. They also probably wouldn’t be able to sell his creations, fetching high praises and prices from our industry of work.
I used to love him and wanted him to stay by my side forever. That was the only reason why I kept looking out for him.
But since he no longer loved me and even betrayed me, I had no reason to continue helping him with his dreams.
Still, I had to calm him down. I couldn’t let him know that I was planning to sell off all my shares.
So, I looked at him emotionlessly and said, “Fine, we won’t divorce.”
Aaron grinned gleefully in satisfaction.
“Isn’t that great? I’m sorry I can’t give you the love you want, Katrina, but I can still give you the money that you want.”
