Chapter 5 Her Greatest Regret

Marina's jaw dropped once she set eyes on the divorce agreement.

"Does Loraine really want a divorce?"

A thought suddenly occurred to Marina. Her face darkened immediately.

"Marco, does she want to divorce you so she can take half of your property? You can't let that happen. Don't sign the papers!"

Mixed feelings swirled in Marco's heart after he read through the document in a daze.

"On the contrary, she doesn't want anything from me," he muttered.

"Huh? That's impossible!"

Marina snatched the document from her brother. She couldn't believe her eyes. One of the clauses clearly stated that Loraine was willing to give up any property that was supposed to be given to her as alimony.

The document already had Loraine's signature.

After getting over the shock, Marina's joy knew no bounds. It was good news.

"This is great, Marco! Since you don't have to give her a penny, you should divorce her as soon as possible. Then you can marry Keely!"

The thought of doing away with Loraine gladdened Marina's heart. She relished the thought of Loraine being miserable after the divorce. She didn't notice Marco's face getting darker and darker.

"Shut up! Get out!"

The next second, Marco commanded Carl, "Take her out. And tell the security that she shouldn't be allowed into this company without my permission."

Marina's eyes widened. "Marco! Why are you doing this to me? I'm your sister!"

To her dismay, Marco paid no attention to her. Marina was thrown out of the company immediately.

The office was quiet again. But there was chaos in Marco's head. He was depressed as he continued to think about Loraine.

After a few minutes, Marco picked up his phone and dialed her number.

The line connected after a few rings.

"Why haven't you been picking up my calls?" Marco asked irritably.

An indifferent female voice came from the other end of the line.

"You must have received the divorce agreement, right?"

Marco asked, "Is that the only thing you have to say to me?"

"Yeah, that's all. Just sign the document, so we can both be free to live our lives."

Loraine's voice was emotionless.

It broke Marco's last straw of restraint. He bellowed, "Who was that guy that came to pick you up from the hospital? Is he the reason why you want to divorce me?"

"You have no right to question me, Marco. Don't stress yourself about what I have to do with another man. Go find your Keely," Loraine quipped sarcastically.

Marco was speechless.

He was wrong for accusing her of hurting Keely.

"Loraine, why are you doing this? I told you that I would make it up to you for what Keely did."

Loraine laughed mockingly.

"For the last time, I don't want your money, Marco. Just give me a divorce. Sign the papers!"

Marco was extremely annoyed that Loraine was being so stubborn.

His hand tightened over the phone, almost crushing it.

No woman had ever dared to stand up to him or turn him down. Loraine was treating him like a rag that she couldn't wait to get rid of. What insolence!

"Since you insist, Loraine, I will do as you wish. Don't regret this later."

"Not to worry, Marco. I won't regret it. In fact, my greatest regret is marrying you in the first place," Loraine uttered with ridicule.

She then hung up the phone.

In a fit of pique, Marco appended his signature to the document.

Thereafter, the divorce proceedings were fast-tracked.

Marco felt that Loraine would put the proceedings on hold at some point. But to his surprise, she allowed everything to go on smoothly.

Once it was finalized, Marco didn't hear any news about Loraine. It was as if she vanished into thin air.

Marco decided to move on. However, he found himself thinking about her. This annoyed him a great deal. He sought out a way to vent his pent-up emotions.
