Unloved Unwanted Unstoppable (Seraphina and Dominic) novel Chapter 61

The attachment was a newly drafted divorce agreement.

Seraphina opened the document, her eyes scanning the lines one by one.

It offered a massive two-hundred-million-dollar settlement, multiple properties, luxury cars, jewelry, and various miscellaneous assets.

Her finger paused on the screen. A smile touched her lips, but it was as cold as ice.

Two hundred million.

For Dominic's multi-billion-dollar business empire, that amount was pocket change.

The Laurel Heights mansion he bought for Cynthia cost nearly tens of millions just in renovations and furniture alone.

Yet, after six years of managing his household and secretly saving the lifeblood of Lockwood Jewelry, she was only worth this fraction in his eyes.

Seraphina took a deep breath, closed the email, and dialed Dominic's number.

The line rang.

After three rings, someone answered.

"Hello?"

It was not Dominic's voice.

It was Cynthia.

Her voice was soft and light, laced with a lazy exhaustion, as if she had just been roused from a deep sleep.

Seraphina's grip on the phone tightened slightly, but her tone remained perfectly flat. "I need to speak with Dominic."

"Dominic?" Cynthia's voice carried a faint, unmistakable hint of amusement. "He's asleep. Whatever it is, call back tomorrow."

Seraphina said nothing.

The other end of the line fell quiet.

So quiet that she could hear the steady, rhythmic sound of breathing in the background.

The breathing was abnormally close.

Close enough to be right next to the receiver.

Close enough to mean someone was lying right beside the phone, mere inches away from Cynthia.

Seraphina slowly gripped the phone tighter.

Before she could utter another word, the call disconnected.

The dial tone buzzed in her ear.

The steady beep echoed relentlessly.

Seraphina stared at the darkened screen, a lump forming in her throat.

She had wasted six years on this marriage.

Waking up early and going to bed late every single day, waiting on his entire family hand and foot, pouring the best years of her life down the drain.
