Ariane’s POV

I was about to enter my apartment but He grabbed my hand. "I want to talk to my future baby, Ariane. I am the father of the children you are carrying."

I smiled lopsidedly. "Do you think you can only acknowledge them after you regret your actions? Why after I know all the bad things about your heart? I'm fed up with the drama you've done. Go away!" I chased Leon away, and he apparently still insisted, so I pushed Leon's body with the wolf power in my body, and sure enough, he only took a few steps back. I immediately went inside and locked the door from the inside.

I've run out of patience with Leon. I'm fed up with him. Not just because of a mistake he made this time. But I've forgiven him since the beginning of my arranged marriage with him, but he never changed, and he only loves Isabella. Only after I left now he wants to come back to me. This is really beyond my common sense.

I did love Leon. I was amazed by everything he had. His prowess as an Alpha and he could also be a reliable businessman. All of that just disappeared because I was already at a point of such deep disappointment.

I immediately racked my brain that I didn't need much longer to formalize my status as a widow. I didn't care what people said about me as a widow. My sanity was much more important than having a husband who could only damage my feelings and also my body.

A few days later the next trial for my divorce was held again. I didn't want to be there so that everything would be over quickly. I couldn't wait to end everything with Leon. I also asked my lawyer to ask for assets as responsibility for the child I was carrying. I still need money before I can get a job.

What kind of job do I want? My stepfather even seemed to throw me out of my own family company. I couldn't believe it. I was determined to take over my late father's company. Well, as the strongest alpha at that time, my father had to die on the battlefield because of my stepfather's presence. I didn't know exactly what their problem was because I was still very young. I only heard that my father died but I still didn't know the cause of my father's death.

I only heard that my father died because he seized power and territory with my stepfather and I don't know what agreement it was that what belonged to my father was then given to my mother after my father died. I became an orphan when I was very young and I have a half-sister, Isabella.

My mother seemed to love Isabella more than me. I also had no choice but to accept all that. Finally, I couldn't refuse when I had to pair up with Leon, who was Isabella's boyfriend.

Even after I married Leon I was also slandered for throwing Isabella out through an evil witch. I never even met the witch. She is indeed evil but now it is slowly being revealed who is evil.

I followed my divorce trial through a hidden camera attached to my lawyer. I didn't want to miss the progress of my divorce trial.

I saw Leon was also there. My lawyer remained silent as if I didn't follow the divorce trial process.

When Leon was given time to speak by the judge I heard it too. "Excuse me, sir, I already said that I don't want a divorce. My wife is pregnant with twins and they need a father figure by their side. My wife also lives alone in an apartment not with her parents."

The judge answered, "Okay, sir. But from the facts so far you have never been there for her. You also cheated. There is also evidence of your affair. Your wife still wants to divorce you because she doesn't want your children to be in a toxic environment."

"I will change, sir. I guarantee it. I already regret it," Leon replied again.

Tch, that's just about it. Where have you been all this time? I was annoyed to hear him confess.

“If your wife is not present and is only represented by a lawyer, we will not hold a mediation process. So we decided to grant the wife's request. With all the demands she submitted and also the custody of the child when born will fall into the hands of the wife because children under the age of 17 need their mother and are under the supervision of their mother. So we decided for you to officially divorce.”

The judge then knocked the gavel as a sign that my divorce process was successful. Knock, knock, knock. Oh my gosh, why am I this relieved? Honestly, there is a burning sensation in my chest. I thought I would get married once in a lifetime, but in fact, I didn't. I have divorced Leon and will start my new life with my children. Now I am officially a widow and Leon is a widower. My head suddenly felt dizzy and I chose to rest for a while.

When it was possible, I met my lawyer in the apartment lobby. Apparently, he didn't come alone but with Leon. Why did he come here?

I looked at Leon cynically. "Why are you here?"

"Ariane, I know I was wrong. We are officially divorced. I will also carry out your demands. I will support our children. I will not relinquish my responsibility as their biological father," said Leon.

"That's good then. You really have to be like that. Now you can go, right? I have to talk to my lawyer."

I shooed him away gently.

"Yes, I will go. But before that, can I rub your stomach? I want to say something to our baby."
