Jackson actually laughed."Is that all this is about?I told you,even if Amy has the baby,I’ll give it to you to raise!"
He still didn't get it.It wasn't that I couldn't conceive;it was that he wasn't worthy of being a father to my child.
"Jackson,I’ll say it one last time.We are divorcing.I am serious."
Without another word,I grabbed my suitcase and walked out.If he wouldn't sign the papers willingly,I had plenty of ways to force his hand.I was a woman who knew how to pick things up,and more importantly,how to let them go.
Since I had decided to step back onto the right path, the filth festering in the dark deserved to be cast back into the swamp where it belonged.
But a phantom ache still lingered in my chest.
My feelings for Jackson Sharp over these past few years had been genuine. If they weren't, I wouldn't have given him chance after chance. But he was the one who failed me. He was the one who let me down.
Stepping out of the marital home I once shared with Jackson, I breathed in deep.
For the first time in a long time, the air actually tasted fresh.
