Chapter 2155 Lower Than An Animal
- Am I really expected to pretend none of it mattered, simply because Darren loved me a little? No. I can't do that.
- A hollow tremor ran through her ribs, yet she held her spine straight. She simply could not bring herself to yield—not this time.
- "Whether your remorse is real or performed doesn't matter—what matters is you struck me. That fact never changes. Everything I have asked for, Darren, belongs to Molly and me by right. You are her father, yes. You raised a hand against me but never against our girl, so I will not steal fatherhood from you. But from this moment on, there will be nothing—nothing—left between you and me. All my life, I have prayed for one thing: to escape you and that nightmare of a house the Shaws call a home. Today the prayer is finally answered, and I feel... free. If you truly believe you owe me, prove it now. Walk with me into City Hall and sign the divorce papers."
