Chapter 76
Zayn's eyes darkened as he stared at William. He cursed the attorney for always showing up at the wrong time
and getting on his nerves.
When he saw Josephine join William at the table and sign the divorce papers with a flourish, his heart tightened
painfully.
What was she doing? Did she really want to go through with the divorce? He had seen the anguish flicker across
her face earlier when he agreed to sign the papers. She was bound to regret her decision one day if she kept
letting her pride get to her like this.
William suddenly asked, "Mr. Forbes, aren't you going to sign the papers?"
Zayn swallowed his rage. He did not spare William so much as a glance as he said, "Josephine, let's talk about
this."
Josephine countered coldly. "There's nothing to talk about. You can either sign the papers now, or I'll have Nadine

"Leave Nadine out of this! We're talking about our marriage here!" Zayn argued.
Josephine troze before frowning in puzzlement. "Need | remind you that you were the one who proposed this,
Zayn?"
"I know, but it wasn't as if | had a choice! Listen, Josephine, | swear nothing is going on betweenand Nadine.
Haven't | treated you well in the three years of our marriage?"
"Of course you have," Josephine drawled. She had already grown tired of playing along with him, and the feelings
she bottled up over the years finally burst. You've been nothing but nice to me. You were practically angelic"
Zayn heaved a sigh of relief. "Well, I'm glad we're on the spage-"
Josephine cut him off venomously, "You were so nice as to steal my dress and my jewelry a initially booked the

"You had the doctor | hired to keep an eye on her through the night before | could be treated. You were so
generous that you remembered to bringpancake sandwiches and cranglaise, even if they were Nadine's
leftovers!" Bringing up the past was like ripping the bandaid off a giant, gaping wound that never properly
healed. Josephine was surprised she hadn't bled to death or died from a shattered heart.
"you know what, Zayn? Nadine only pulled this stunt because she was confident you would speak up for her
even if she got caught!" Josephine ground out
Zayn's grimace deepened with each word that rolled off Josephine's tongue, but his anger was quickly replaced
by panic, then helplessness. When he spoke again, it was with a faltering voice. "How did you know about those,
Josephine? Did you keep tabs on me?" Josephine snorted as she narrowed her eyes at him in contempt. "I didn't
have to do anything, Zayn. Nadine was always excited to tellabout her sweet moments with you, and
keeping tabs on you would have been redundant.
"sign the papers, Zayn. | have nothing more to say to you. That | was ever married to someone like you is my
greatest humiliation."
"ou."
Zayn never thought such hateful words would cfrom Josephine. His face was story, but he wasn't so much
furious as he was guilty and anxious. He couldn't explain himself or his actions even if he tried.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHow did things tum out this way? He had been so confident that he only had to put up with this mess for a while
longer before he could return to a happy marriage with Josephine. How had he managed to screw things up and
let them spiral out of control?
William noted Zayn's dazed state and prompted, "Mr. Forbes, | think it's best if you sign the papers. Ms. Dunn is a
kind and reasonable person. She won't demand any part of your fortune as long as you divorce her, fair and
square. All she wants is freedom." Unable to contain his anger any longer, Zayn roared at William, "Shut the fuck
up!”
William shuddered at Zayn's outburst and quickly ducked his head. He wisely kept his mouth shut after that.
