Chapter 49 The Calm Before The Storm

• It was a quiet afternoon. George and Celeste were at work, while Eleanor had gone out to meet her friends—other wives of wealthy businessmen in town. The house was almost completely silent, except for the ticking of the clock in Damien and Celeste’s bedroom.
• Damien sat on the edge of his bed, staring blankly at the ceiling. Ever since Celeste asked for a divorce, they had been sleeping in separate beds, even though they still shared the same room.
• His eyes drifted to the small bedside table next to Celeste’s bed. The drawer was slightly open, tempting him to take a peek inside. Initially, he only wanted to tidy up the room, but his hand froze when he found something unexpected—a divorce document hidden inside.
