Anne stood frozen, her mind reeling in disbelief. "What? You've found a way to save Fiona, and it requires you to trade your life for hers?"
Nigel nodded. "Yes."
Anne felt as though she'd been struck by lightning. Her emotions surged, and she took a step forward. "Nigel, are you seriously willing to sacrifice your life for Fiona?"
"Yes," he answered. "I don't want to hide this from you. Your father did a tremendous favor for my family, and I must ensure that you're cared for. It's the least I can do to repay the debt I owe."
Was that all there was between them in his eyes? Was their connection truly just a debt of gratitude? Did he have no deeper feelings for her at all?
Anne met his gaze. "Nigel, are you out of your mind? You're young, successful, and at the top of the business world. How can you possibly throw away your life for Fiona's? I can't accept this!"
Fiona's life seemed trivial in comparison. How could Nigel even consider making such a sacrifice?
No. This was something Anne could never allow to happen.
"I've already made my decision. There's no need to discuss it any further," Nigel replied nonchalantly.
"Nigel!"
"If there's nothing else, please leave," Nigel said, motioning toward the door.
Anne knew him well—once Nigel made up his mind, it was nearly impossible to change it.
Her gaze shifted to the will on the desk. "What about your assets? Carly is your only biological daughter. Are you planning to leave everything to her?"
With Carly now in her corner, Anne was eager to test the extent of her influence.
Anne would have no objections if Nigel were willing to leave his entire fortune to Carly. She waited, her anticipation building as she looked to him for an answer.

The readers' comments on the novel: The Divorce Prescription (Celina and Adam)
How can this be,Carly always gets away with everything and Celine intelligence is not working her at all....
Just as I thought. This could go on a few more chapters. But the bond between Fiona amd Celine is undeniable. Even without knowing that they are mother and daughter. Though I'm totally confused. Isn't there any resemblance between Celine and her parents? How couldn't they tell that she was their daughter?...
As expected of the dna results in favor of the wicked carly again.. so frustrating...
I hope the writer of this story will not prolong this…..what happened to the DNA…...
Can you upload more chapters per day, each chapter is very short you always keep us hanging...
Can’t wait for when Nigel will discover Celine is his child...
I was enjoying Celine being a formidable woman until the author put her abuser back in her way to make it seem she is weak willed with no physical control. This saddens me....
Regardless of how "sorry" the abusive man is. His regret is his own burden to carry....
When a woman divorces a man because he ill treated her, authors of these books, should stop making a women look desperate to go back with the abusive man. The real world is not like that. Many many women value themselves too much to return to their abusers....
Please this story is going round in circles……this writer🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️🤦🏽♀️...
