Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 1: Back For Divorce 

Scarlett's POV: 

I checked the time again and sighed.

It had been one and a half hours since I flew in, and I had lost count of the times I had glanced at my watch.

My husband, Charles Moore, was nowhere to be found.He was supposed to pick me up from the airport.But he must be with his girlfriend right now.

I shook my head and smiled bitterly at the thought, stood up, and dragged myself and my luggage out of the airport.

I married Charles three years ago.

But shortly after our wedding, I received some good news from my dream university abroad.I was accepted to one of their programs, so I left to study there.

Charles and I had not seen each other for three years.

While I was away, he was spending all his time with the woman he truly loved.

Now, I was finally finished with my studies and I came back home.I wanted to end our nominal marriage.I decided it was time for me to stop stood up, and dragged myself and my luggage out of the airport.I married Charles three years ago.

On my way home in a cab, I sent Charles a message that read, "We need to talk."

Before long, I was standing inside our empty house.

I set my luggage aside and headed to the living room.

I sat on the sofa and waited.

The house looked and smelled like no one had lived in it for years.

Our wedding photo was still hanging on the wall.

It offended and saddened me at the same time.

But I just sat there for a long time and immersed myself in my thoughts.

Then, I heard a car pull over outside.I shot up from my seat, feeling my heart break into a gallop.

Did I still expect anything of my stone-hearted husband? Maybe.Maybe not.But at the last moment, I gnashed my teeth together and clasped my trembling hands.

I reminded myself, ‘‘I'm here to end this.”

The doorknob turned, and the door swung open.

Charles turned on the lights, and they cast a tall shadow of him down the hall.

He walked in.

He was Clad in a charcoal black suit and immaculate white shirt.

His expression showed exhaustion, but it did nothing to overshadow his angular face and prominent cheekbones.

Everything was still the same.

He still exuded that icy aura that I could feel from a few feet away.

As he walked closer, my heart beat faster, and my breath started coming in short bursts.

I could not believe I forgot how handsome he was.

He was like a god who did not belong in the mortal world.

He had the kind of charm that just made people surrender.

Time had made him into a more mature-looking, head-turning man.

I averted my gaze as I felt my cheeks burn.

He walked to the sofa and sat down.

I took the seat across from him.
