A Divorce He Regrets (Alissa Nexus) novel Chapter 73

Her words hit like bullets, but I held my ground, keeping my face calm even as tension coiled tightly inside me.

“If you think keeping Liam away from me will force me to cave, you’re wrong,” she hissed. “If you don’t want me to have Liam, fine. I’ll take this to court. I’ll sue you, Alex, and I’ll win.”

I couldn’t help but smile, a calculated tilt of my lips. I had anticipated this, prepared for it.

“Go ahead,” I said, my tone unbothered. “But just so you know, the state attorney is a friend of mine. He’s the same person who drafted the original divorce papers.”

Her face paled slightly, and I saw the flicker of hesitation in her eyes, but she quickly masked it with anger. “You’re unbelievable,” she said, her voice trembling with a mix of rage and disbelief.

“You can call it whatever you want,” I replied, leaning slightly closer, my voice low but unwavering. “But I’m not letting you go without a fight.”

I watched Raina’s expression shift, the storm of emotions on her face mirroring what I felt inside. But my resolve didn’t waver, not for a second.

"I would’ve had the papers processed," I continued, voice steady, "if it weren’t for you reappearing. If I was to marry Eliza, I would’ve had everything finalized before another woman could even step foot into my life. But you... you changed everything.”

Raina’s jaw clenched, her fists tightening at her sides. Her eyes were fierce, but there was no mistaking the deep hurt I saw lurking beneath that anger. It was all too familiar. She didn’t speak, but I didn’t need her words. I knew she hated me for what I’d done.
