Chapter 2

Zack did not speak.

The air in the office felt so heavy that he felt it hard to breathe.

After a moment of silence, Katherine shrugged.

"Okay, I won't disturb Mr.Colburn for long.Monday morning at nine o'clock, in the Civil Affairs
Bureau.See you there.’

"Zack, congratulations, you are free.You finally got rid of me, the shameless woman,’ Katherine said.

Katherine looked at him and laughed at herself.

"What are you playing this time?" Zack asked.

Zack had finally spoken, and his words were as cold as ever.

Katherine glanced at him, "Don't worry, it's true this time.But let me tell you, this is your only chance to
get rid of me.You must cherish this moment"

Katherine's eyes stung a bit from the tears she was holding back.

She didn't want to lose her dignity by shedding tears in front of this man.

Before she would humiliate herself, she turned away and left.

Zack watched her walk away until she disappeared around the corner.

Then he reached out, grabbed the document, and flipped through the divorce agreement in front of
him.

Katherine's people drafted this divorce agreement which had already indicated all of Zack's properties.



Upon reading the document, he noticed that Katherine did not take a single cent out of his money.

It felt she had intentionally taken nothing to leave the household without any strings holding her back.

He was not surprised that Katherine wanted a divorce.

During those three years that they had been married, he did not treat her as a wife at all.

However, the fact that Katherine did not want anything from their divorce was unbelievable to Zack.

This woman, Katherine, had always been greedy.

When she saved Zack's mother, Victoria, the Colburn family asked her what she wanted in return, and
she asked for Zack to marry her.

Unfortunately, she had miscalculated.

Before they got married, he had already notarized his property long before he got married.

This was in preparation for the day that he would divorce Katherine.

Their separation would be effortless as there would be no properties to divide.

It seemed that this time, she was just playing tricks.

Zack sneered and threw the divorce agreement aside, not taking it seriously.

Katherine walked out of the building.

She could see Alice's bright sports car.

As Katherine walked over, Alice opened the door of the passenger seat.



"How was it? Did you sign it?"

"I didn't sign it,'' she said as she sat down.

"He should have.Natalie Cooper is back.Is Zack still not in a hurry?"

Katherine finished fastening her seatbelt and glanced at her.

"Alice! did you do it on purpose?"

If not for the fact that they had been friends for over ten years, she would have taught Katherine a
lesson right away.

Alice's thoughts were exposed, and she rubbed her nose resentfully.

"This is the first time I've seen someone who was about to be divorced act in such high spirits.Isn't this
to test whether you've really given up or if you're are just angry?"

"You could have said something to comfort me, Alice!"

Katherine did not want to talk to Alice, who was boasting beside her.

She simply closed her eyes and automatically blocked everything.

Half an hour later, the sports car stopped.

Katherine opened her eyes and unfastened her seat belt.

"Thank you.’ As Katherine spoke, she got out of the car and picked up her suitcase from the back of
the vehicle.

Alice sat in the car and gave her two kisses.



"Don't cry secretly, Katherine.I love you!"

Just as she finished speaking, the red sports car left with a "boom.

Katherine was so angry that she laughed.

‘What kind of bad friends did she make!’ she chuckled to herself.

The villa had been cleaned in advance by the housekeeper.

The smart door lock in her villa has combined identification methods such as sound, fingerprint, and
facial features.

She called out, "door open,’ and the sandalwood door in front of her automatically opened, and a voice
rang out, "Welcome home, Master”

"Alexa, boil water,’’ Katherine instructed.

Her home was powered by smart technology, which made her household chores easier.

She only had to instruct "Alexa” and the Al would do it for her.

Katherine dragged her suitcase to the master bedroom on the second floor.

Inside were the things she had back when she was a part of the Colburn family.

She had taken all of the items she had owned for the past three years.

After putting down the luggage, she took some water that had just been boiled and mixed with some
cold water, leaned against the bar, and drank half a cup.

When tears suddenly fell from her eyes, Katherine was a little stunned.



Thinking of what Alice said before she left, she couldn't help but despise herself.

It was true.

Katherine could not pretend that she didn't care about Zack.

However, when Katherine was alone, she couldn't bear the sadness anymore and cried her heart out.

After enduring for an entire morning, Katherine finally couldn't hold her feelings in any longer.

She put down her cup and directly lay down on the bar, crying.

She had liked Zack for ten years, but in the end, other than three years of marriage, she couldn't get
anything else.Was she a martyr for still loving him unconditionally?

‘‘Of course not, but what's the use of being unconditionally in love with him if he doesn’t love me back;
Katherine thought to herself.

After leaving the Colburn family, Katherine had been muddle-headed for the past two days.

Other than sleeping, she was sleeping.

But Katherine could not sleep well and had many strange dreams.

She also dreamed about the year when she was fifteen.

She naively and kindly thought that the old woman she had met randomly really needed help, but she
did not expect that she was just prey in the old lady's eyes.

Unknown individuals burst out of nowhere and dragged Katherine into the car in a narrow and dark
alley.



She was desperate and frightened and was not expecting something as frightening as a kidnapping
would happen to her.

No one came back to save Katherine.

No one even dared.

Just as she resigned herself to her fate, a young man kicked the man who was holding her and
dragged her by the hand out of the dark alley.

She didn’t know how long she had been running until the young man stopped.

Only then did she dare to stop running as well.

During that miserable escape, Katherine didn't even have time to see his face clearly.

When she stopped running, Katherine realized that the youth in front of her had a face that was as
clear as the wind and bright moon.

Katherine looked at the young man intently.

He had a pair of very black eyes that looked like there was a vortex inside.

She only took a glance, and yet she felt like she was being sucked in.

"What is your name?" she asked the young man.

After surviving this incident, she wanted to know her savior's name expectantly.

"Zack” he simply replied.

The young man’s voice was as fascinating as his eyes.



Katherine had never noticed that her heart was beating so fast.

"Thank you for saving me."

"You're safe now.I'm leaving." the young man said.

He released his grip on her hand and turned to leave.

She subconsciously chased after him.

"Zack, can I..." she began.

However, in the next second, her dream changed to an image of the young Zack suddenly turning into
an adult Zack.

He looked at her coldly and said, "Katherine, what are you playing now?"

Katherine suddenly woke up due to her ringing alarms.

She frowned and raised her hand to touch the wet corners of her eyes and said, "Alexa, turn off the
alarm"

The ringing stopped abruptly, and the room returned to silence.

Katherine took out her phone, and she saw that half an hour ago, Alice sent her a message to cheer
her up.

Yes, today was Monday.

She had made an appointment with Zack to get a divorce.
