Ezekiel watched them from the other side, and he clenched his fist in anger. Anastasia didn’t need to speak for him to know something had happened in that torture room. Robert had said something to her to make him stab him in that manner.
Back to where Xavier and Anastasia were,
Xavier continued to hug her tightly, making sure there was not a single space between them.
Anastasia rubbed her face on his suit. "He’s a monster."
"He is." Although Xavier couldn’t hear what they’d been talking about in the torture room, he was able to read Robert’sst sentence before Anastasia stabbed him.
<i>Did you enjoy our first night together?</i>
His eyes flickered in anger as those words echoed in his ears.
’He took advantage of her,’ Xavier thought to himself.
"He’s going to pay for everything."

<i>At the Harrison mansion, </i>Anastasia packed her bags as she red at Amelia, Jack, and Gary—the father of Jack.
"Where do you think you are going, Michelle?" Amelia questioned when Amelia saw her pulling her luggage—about to leave the mansion.
"Didn’t you hear what Anastasia said?" Michelle questioned her mother. "She wants us out of this mansion before she returns. I don’t want to allow her to humiliate me any more than she has. If you want to stay here, then you can go ahead."
"Wait....where do you even n to go? Also, how can we be sure that Anastasia is not bluffing?" Jack asked this time around.
"If you want to find out, you can go ahead and wait. I’m still married to the Wace family remember? Although things are tough now, they should still ept me...."
Without waiting for them to try to stop her anymore, Michelle resumed pulling her luggage with her.
Once she opened the door, she was met with a delivery man.
"What do you want?!" She barked at him.
"I have something to deliver to you."
Michelle frowned at first, but then she signed and collected the package.
She nced between the package and the other family members who were staring at her from inside the living room with eyes filled with curiosity.
Michelle’s hands trembled as she tore off the package.
Surprisingly, the package was only wrapped once and inside were some documents.
Curious, she opened the document, and the first thing that came to her sight were the words <i>DIVORCE PAPERS </i>written out boldly in huge fonts.
Michelle’s eyes nearly popped out of her sockets, while her heart threatened to leap out of her chest in fear.
"What is this?!!" She questioned no one in particr.
Out of rage, she flipped through the pages of the divorce document.
"Richard has already signed the divorce papers?" She mumbled to herself.
Without wasting a single second, Michelle trotted out of the mansion to head to the Wace mansion.
Unfortunately, when she reached, the security guards didn’t let her in.
"Ma’am, we’ve been given specific orders not to let you into the mansion. Can’t you understand?"
"How dare you talk to me like that? Do you know who I am?" She questioned the security guards as she struggled to break free from them.
"Michelle, what are you doing here?" Mrs Wace questioned.
"Mum...the divorce papers... I don’t want to get a divorce..." Michelle trailed off, tears streaming down from her eyes.
"I’m not your mother anymore after what you and your family have done! Do you think you still have a ce in this family?" Mrs Wace questioned.
Michelle sniffled back her tears.
"You were the one who introduced divorce, and now you don’t want it anymore?" Richard questioned her. "Or...wait...could it be that you want more alimony?"
Michelle stopped crying immediately at the sound of the word alimony.
Quickly, she flipped open the divorce documents again and her eyesnded on the figures lined up.
"80 million dors?"
