Chapter 2 The Compensation

Joe’s eyes narrowed, tossing the divorce agreement onto the

table.

He lit a cigarette and blew smoke toward Mia’s face, staring at her through the haze. “You’ve taken your little game too far,” he

sneered.

It didn’t make sense to him that she would settle for just a clean split and nothing else. He thought this agreement was just a game to threaten him. He knew Mia loved him. She would never leave him. Plus, her family’s company would never let her go through with a divorce.

Mia clenched the blanket next to her, locking eyes with Joe. She spoke slowly and firmly,

“I only want a divorce. I’m not plotting anything. I’ve given back everything I owe you.”

‘I don’t love you anymore…”

Her words were a mixture of sadness and determination. She didn’t explicitly say it, but Joe somehow knew the hidden meaning underneath.

It was… affecting him. More than he’d care to admit.

Something was wrong.

He took a step forward, pinning her with his intense gaze. He lifted her chin with his fingers, blowing smoke in her face, making her turn away and cough.

He smirked and grabbed a pen from the table. “You really think I won’t sign it?”

She coughed, tears welling up in her eyes, but she quietly watched him sign his name.

“You better not regret this.”

He wasn’t going to let her have her way.

After it was signed, he tossed the divorce agreement to the floor. Then he pulled a card from his wallet and threw it at Mia.
