Hearing the door open , I quickly wiped the tears off my cheeks and pretended to sip on a mug of hot chocolate while gazing at the falling snow .
Grace is home , Edgar said casually I hummed in response , uninterested ..
Dont you feel guilty about the way you treat her ? he asked , disbelief coloring his tone .
) Why should 12 I replied flatly You really have no heart , Sharon .
I rolled my eyes , feeling a wave of exhaustion .
Oh , the irony .
I wanted to yell that those words shouldve been aimed a too tired to argue , It finally hit me , our relationship had always been a mistake You expect me to apologize to her ? To treat her kindly in my own house ? Is that it ? I asked sarcastically .
Yes ! You know , Grace often cries because of the things you say .
And she speaks so highly of you to everyone Pathetic .

I packed my belongings into suitcases and left the penthouse , which was being decorated for his party .
I moved quickly to the private garage on the same floor and got into my car .
Everything had to be done before Edgar returned from work that aftemoon X Later that evening , Edgar invited Grace and his friends over , turning the space we once shared into a lively , crowded party .
Watching them through the CCTV connected to my laptop , I observed their fake smiles and laughter from a hotel room two blocks away I listened closely through my earpods , the sound from the penthouse perfectly transmitted through the bug I had planted earlier .
Edgar was engrossed with his friends , unaware that I hadnt prepared anything I promised .
Hours passed before he finally noticed my absence .
Wheres your wife , Edgar ? one of his friends asked ! Yeah , wasnt she supposed to prepare something for us ? Is she still asleep ? ! Edgar didnt answer .
His silence revealed that he , too , found my absence strange .
Grace , sitting nearby , hesitated before speaking .
Edgar , do you think Sharons still mad at me ? Edgars head snapped toward her his eyes sharp .
She shouldnt act like this .
But shes not here .
Maybe … maybe she really doesnt want me around .
I think I should leave , Grace said softly No.
Edgar replied , shaking his head and rising from his seat .
He looked ready to check every corner of the penthouse to find me .
But before he could , the doorbell rang , loud and clear A small smile formed on my lips as I watched the CCTV feed of my lawyer , Bella , standing in the hallway .
Edgar opened the door with a confused expression E Excuse me , may I speak to Mr.

He ripped it open hastily , scanning the documents to confirm her words This cant be real ! Sharon wouldnt leave me ! he exclaimed , his voice a mix of denial and anger
