“Name the designer and the number of bags. I’ll have them delivered first thing tomorrow morning.” Adam said.
She took a sip of her rich green tea and walked to the staircase. “All I need you to do is sign the divorce contract.”
“What of our child?” His words struck something deep and feral in her.
“What child?” She tried to keep the same controlled tone that he did.
“You’ve forgotten about Jason so soon. Some mother you are.”
Jade hurried up the staircase to avoid the tears from spilling out of her eyes as she remembered her living child that was now a property of the Lamont family.
With Adam in the house, it was impossible for her to have a peaceful night. Especially as he slammed the door open and came into her room, seconds after she had just come out of the bathroom.
She reached for a robe and quickly put it on, turning her back to him as she applied her night face cream.
“You moved out of our room?” He asked.
“I moved back to my room.”
After the accident, he had moved her to this house and this had been her room until they got married. His mother had fought against her moving to his room but Adam had insisted but he shouldn’t have bothered because she spent most nights by herself.
“The rule was—”
Here he was lecturing her about the rules when he had broken several.
“The rules no longer apply. I’m done with this sham of a marriage.”
“You understand what that means for Jason?”
At that time she birthed Jason, she had accepted that Frances was a permanent thing in Adam’s life, while she was a mere playtoy. But the Lamont family insisted that Jason be brought up in their mansion and she had expected Adam to fight it.
Nothing hurt her more than that fact. If not for Jason, she would’ve divorced him after their second anniversary but she kept holding on and hoping that things would be better. Hoping that one day, her son would return to her.
She turned to face him. “If you really cared for Jason, you would not have taken him away from me.”
“You can visit him anytime you like. If we divorce, you’ll lose that privilege.”
