The Genius Ex-Wife’s Revenge Portfolio novel Chapter 4

David’s face went ice cold, his features hardening in an instant. Someone as proud as him had never been slapped before, not once in his entire life.

He stared at her, his eyes sharp and chilly. “Ella, you get to marry me when you feel like it and leave when you feel like it. What exactly do you take me for?”-

Ella let out a short laugh. “A toy.”

He blinked, stunned for a second.

She forced herself to keep talking, even though her heart was in pieces. “You’re just a toy I stole from Jessa. I got bored. Now I’m tossing you out.”

David’s expression darkened, almost stormy. “Alright, Ella. Fine. You want a divorce? Let’s do it. But don’t come running back to me, begging for another chance.”

He turned and stomped upstairs to his study, slamming the door so hard the whole house seemed to shake.

Ella felt every ounce of strength leave her body. She slid down the wall until she was curled up on the carpet, hugging her knees to her chest.

David, I can’t love you anymore.

…

The next morning came.

Marian quietly pushed open the study door and stepped inside.

David was already at his desk, buried in paperwork. He was always working.

“Sir,” Marian said softly.

He didn’t even bother looking up. The tension in the room was thick and icy.

Marian set a cup of coffee down near his hand. “Sir, your wife made this for you.”

David paused, the pen in his hand going still. Some of the anger seemed to slip from his face.

Was she trying to make up with him?

Honestly, Ella had always been a good wife. She cooked his favorite meals, washed his clothes by hand, and took care of everything he needed.

He picked up the cup and took a sip.

The taste was exactly how he liked it.
