Chapter 44

• Me and Desmond, Mother and Father, Mr and Mrs Corte, we all are standing in the main hall of My House. Everyone's attention is towards me. I hugged my sides tightly. A silent stream of tears flowed from my eyes. I want to speak but, my voice is stuck in my throat. Saying that is too much for me. I inhaled deeply and let out a broken voice,
• "I can't live with Desmond.."
• My answer shocked everyone- especially Desmond. Desmond's lips began to tremble. He began to let out heavy pants as he felt shocked and broken. Desmond was consumed by anguish. I motioned Father to give me the divorce papers which have my signature on them already. I wiped my tears and gulped to calm myself. I took a deep breath and looked at an utterly broken Desmond, filled with despair which extend to no boundaries.
