Lucia’s POV I stared at my reflection in the mirror, my face pale, my eyes hollow. Hope was slipping away, dissolving into the same darkness that had swallowed everything else. How was I supposed to walk into work today, knowing I might see Tania? How could I stop myself from losing my mind at the mere sight of her? I exhaled shakily and squared my shoulders. “I can do this. We need this friggin’ job.” My voice wavered, and for a moment, I nearly broke down in tears. But I forced myself to move. I reached for the dress I had bought last night, back when I had nowhere to go, nowhere to escape the rain. I had stumbled into a hotel, drenched and desperate, trying to figure out my next move. Now, there was no more time for self-pity. Slipping out of my room, I hailed a cab and arrived at the company just in time. I was about to clock in when my phone buzzed. A message. “Meet me in my office.”My stomach twisted. Fuck. Had I done something wrong? I hurried down the hall, my heel

Lucia’s POV Calm down, Lucia.I repeated the words in my head, forcing myself to breathe as I weighed a million ways I could react without completely losing my mind.

Let's eat and talk this out.” My voice was even, though my heart pounded violently against my ribs. Harry’s expression remained unreadable, his jaw tightening ever so slightly. Then, with a chilling calmness, he said, “What I want is for you to pack your things and leave this house.” The air in my lungs vanished. My entire body went rigid. “W-what?” The tremor in my voice betrayed me, the tears I had been desperately holding back now burning at the edges of my vision. Harry didn’t falter. His gaze remained cold, detached, completely void of the man I had once known. “You heard me, Lucia. Your stay in this house

Lucia’s POV “Harry, what are you doing?” My breath hitched, panic rising fast. I didn’t even have the strength to resist the officers—this was surreal, like a twisted dream I couldn't wake up from. Harry merely adjusted his tie, his face devoid of any remorse. “Make sure she spends time in jail, officers. She also harassed my wife here. Please restrain her and keep her away from us.” “No, I didn’t do any of that!” I shook my head wildly, desperation clawing at my throat. *This isn’t happening. This isn’t happening.* But they didn’t listen. Fear took hold, my pulse hammering in my ears. *I can’t go to jail. I didn’t do anything.* My body moved on instinct, struggling against the officer’s grip, but my strength was slipping. I was sick—how would I survive behind bars? “No! There’s a mistake somewhere!” My voice cracked as I pleaded with the officers, but they didn’t pause, didn’t even glance at me with an ounce of sympathy. I turned to Harry, searching his face for somethin

Lucia’s POV“That was an amazing one, sweetie. I absolutely love it! You know what, let's go to Ibiza nex–”Harry drew me out of my daze by slamming some documents out on the table before saying the words that almost tore me apart. “I want a divorce, Lucia. Sign these papers.”“Huh? Baby, you have to be joking, right? We just came from vacation, how–”“I want a divorce. You can either sign these papers or you can get the fuck out of here.”“Harry!”“Leave! I don't even feel like seeing your face right now.”“What are you even on about?”“You must be in a bad mood right now, I'll come back later.” I quietly picked up my keys and left. There was no way that he could say such a thing unless it was a prank or in a bad mood right?“Please calm down before I get back Harry.” and with that, I left. ****FEW HOURS LATER “We’re here, ma’am.” The driver’s announcement brought me out of my depressing thoughts. I quickly wiped my tears and raised my face. I looked through the window and trie
