Chapter 2: Divorce
Imogen opened her eyes, trying to look at the figure above her.

“Yes. It’s me.”
“You reek of alcohol.”
“Yeah, I had a drink with a friend.
Troy gently lay her on the bed. After a while, Imogen heard the sound of the shower from the bathroom. She rolled over and closed her eyes, but she couldn’t sleep anymore for some reason.
After a few minutes, she felt the other side of the bed sink. Before she could move, a large warm hand rested on her waist. It slowly moved down to her thighs, spreading the warmth on Imogen‘ s body.
“Hmm…” Imogen hummed. “Not tonight, Troy.”
Subconsciously, she was scared that they might hurt the baby.
Troy s hand stopped before it crawled back to her back. “Just sleep.”
Sleepy, Imogen followed her husband’s advice and fell into a deep sleep.
The following day, Imogen woke up to an empty bed. Only the slightly wrinkled sheets beside her proved that Troy was really here last night.
She pouted her lips, slightly annoyed. ‘Why did I fall asleep immediately last night?‘
“Well, I could just tell him about the baby today,” she muttered before getting out of bed.
As soon as she finished washing up, Imogen went to the closet and picked a white suit for Troy. Since her pregnancy was big and exciting news, she chose a red–striped tie to match his outfit. Then, she carefully placed his clothes on the bed.
After a while, Troy returned from his usual morning jog and changed his clothes. Imogen went downstairs and found him sitting in the living room. Troy noticed her and immediately put the papers on the coffee table before standing up.
“Let’s eat breakfast.”
Right after eating their meal, Imogen grinned at him, unable to contain her excitement. “Troy, I have something to tell you.”
If Troy knew they were going to have a child, he would be happy, would he?
“I also have something to tell you,” Troy replied in a relaxed tone.
“Okay. You go first,” Imogen beamed at him.
Troy sighed. “Imogen,” he said. “Let’s get divorced.”
Imogen blinked at him, shocked. Troy got up and went to the living room to get the papers.
“I’ve printed the divorce papers. Read it first. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.” Imogen felt as if her heart stopped beating. She looked up at her husband in bewilderment. Her mind went blank for a while, and thought that she might have heard him wrong.
“Divorce?” she uttered in a low voice.
‘He wants a divorce?‘
She couldn’t believe it.
“We were set up by our families and forced to marry each other. But since we didn’t reveal our

marriage in public, we should end it now before things get messier in the future,” Troy calmly explained, obviously taking this matter lightly.
A series of chills ran down Imogen’s spine. Her face went pale as her lips trembled. She felt pain in her chest as if her heart had been punched multiple times.
‘No. I’m just imagining things. This isn’t real,‘ she thought.
She loved Troy for nine years.
She loved him for years–from the time she came to the Marshall family when she was sixteen until she had her successful career by the time she turned twenty–five.
Her love for him grew deeper and deeper, especially when they married. It might be a fixed marriage, but Imogen knew the only man she wanted to marry was Troy.
Although, it seemed like Troy didn’t feel the same.
Imogen gulped down the pain forming in her throat. She took a deep breath and looked at him as calmly as she could. “We’ve been getting along really well in the past three years, Troy. What is this? Divorce? What made you decide that? Do you really want to end our marriage?” She couldn’t hide the pain in her voice.
“This is my decision, Imogen.”
“What about Grandma and Grandpa?” Imogen asked.
“Ill inform them later.”
Imogen s lips trembled. “But… What if I‘ m…” she swallowed the rest words. What if I’m pregnant?
Troy seemed to have lost his patience and interrupted her. “Imogen, look,” he said. “Sarah is back.”
Imogen felt like a bullet went straight to her soul. Her lips parted in shock as she stared at him.
After a moment of silence, she calmly picked up the papers. “Okay. I’ll read this first.” She sounded like a robot.
It wasn’t about him saying he was forced to marry her.
It was the name he uttered that made Imogen realize it was over. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
