Sweet Divorce

Liam drew himself closer in a sudden. Rita subconsciously ducked back. Her heart beat fast because of fluster. Seeing that Liam was only looking at her, Rita relaxed herself a little.

"I'm still the same Rita, the only difference is that..."

She paused for a moment, and looked up to meet his cold eyes without blinking, "I DON'T LOVE YOU ANYMORE. I want to divorce you. I want to leave here!"

"Okay."

Liam answered and cast his eyes back on Rita, lowered his voice and said, " You don't need me to teach you what you should or should not say, right?"

Finishing his words, Liam handed her the phone.
