Chapter 32: Going Against The Ashfords

Two days passed in a blur, with nothing but the deafening silence in my apartment to keep me company. So when Lucas called, asking to meet for dinner, I jumped at the chance. It wasn't just a casual dinner though; he wanted to discuss the divorce proceedings. That was enough to jolt me back to reality.

Adultery is a valid reason for divorce under the law, though it can be tricky to prove unless there's clear evidence, like what we have."
