Beyond the Divorce

I was taken aback. My heart felt like it was being squeezed tightly as the thing I feared would happen seemed to have unfolded.

"Take your time, Arton," I reassured the anxious voice on the phone.

"Something big has happened, Mrs. Chloe. I'm sorry... there's been an explosion at the construction site."

"An explosion?" I echoed, trying to process the sudden news.

My head spun. An explosion? A knot formed in my stomach as I abruptly stood up from my chair.

"Yes, one of our high-rise buildings that was under construction exploded." Arton's voice trembled with urgency. "It just happened. Johnson and I are on our way to the scene. We don't have all the details yet, and the explosion is still ongoing." The phone crackled with intense explosion sounds, echoing loudly.

"I'll report back to you soon. I have to go to the scene now..." Arton's voice trailed off as the call ended.

"Stay safe!" I shouted, then quickly headed outside.

"Carol!" I called urgently, my voice betraying my unease. Carol immediately ran over to me, asking, "Chloe, what's wrong?"

"Tell Tristan to get ready. I'm heading to Bourdamun."
