He smiled. "That’s right. You’ve worked so hard for me. You should treat yourself. Buy whatever you want."
Amelia didn’t respond and continued packing.
That night, after taking a shower, Damien wrapped his arms around her. His voice was suggestive. "Do you want to do it … tonight?"
Amelia pushed him away.
Her tone was cold as she responded, "I'm on my period. I don’t feel well."
He frowned slightly, asking back, "Hasn't it been four days already?"
Without expression, she replied, "I'm still not feeling well."
This was the first time in five years that she had rejected him. Before, even if she was uncomfortable, she would always give in to him. But not anymore.
From now on, Amelia would put herself first. She would learn to say no. She would no longer endure pain for a love that never existed.
This marriage was over. She kept reminding herself that the divorce cooling-off period was three months. After one months, she would be free!
Amelia couldn't sleep the entire night.
At dawn, she got up and made breakfast. This time, it was only for herself. She no longer prepared anything for Damien like before.
