He cried and I was numb.
“You believe what she said. If it weren’t for
John, we would have died in the fire. Do you
care?”
く
“You would say that it was an accident
because of her. Is that right?”
Chad covered his face.
After a while, he signed the papers and left.
We agreed to divorce in a week.
The day we divorced, I was happy and wore
my favorite clothes.
Chad didn’t get any sleep and his eyes turned
red.
When he walked up to me, I heard him trying
to control his voice.
“Do you agree that it is true?”
He didn’t finish.
“We are not going back, Chad.”
“”
He didn’t say anything and left the money,
house, and car for me.
I signed the papers to press charges on
Brittany.
Setting the fire was never going to get away
with.
When I saw Brittany, she was crying in Chad’s
arms and said, “I can’t go to prison.”
“The only wish that my parents had was for
me to be safe, please, can you help me?”
Chad shook Brittany away.
“Your parents would not want you to be like
“”
this.”
Brittany stopped and saw me.
“Why can’t you leave me alone? Chad has left
you everything, aren’t you satisfied?”
“The fire was an accident.”
I nodded.
“Chad gave me everything to make up for his
mistakes.
“Is that fire an accident? Then we can see
with the cameras.”

Brittany looked stupid. “There’s no way you
could have cameras.
I bit my lips. “You don’t know that you can
get cameras to connect.”
“I was getting interrogated and didn’t find an
opportunity.”
Chad shut his eyes, and Brittany freaked out.
“You aren’t going to trick me.‘
I looked at Brittany.
“I got saved but I didn’t.”
Chad gave no emotion and said, “Why would
you cause that situation?
<
I pressed the evidence.
The charges came to Brittany for arson.
He was sentenced to five years but she was
pregnant so she will serve the sentence when
her child is a year old.
Chad was fired by the company because of
his negligence and can never be hired again.
Brittany wanted to marry Chad, but Chad
refused and forced her to abort the baby.
That child was her last hope. She begged
Chad’s mom and got made fun of.
They didn’t agree, and Brittany was losing it.
く
She was making a ruckus at Chad’s store,
saying that Chad had made her pregnant but
didn’t want to be responsible.
Since she was pregnant, the security guards
were scared of hurting her so she was left
alone.
When she made her trouble, she didn’t know
what she touched and had a miscarriage.
Now she lost everything, and was getting put
in jail sooner.
Chad’s mom’s hair turned white and Chad
was tired.
Some people said that Chad was looking for
me, and some people asked if I was getting
remarried
L
I laughed.
It was never going to happen.
After I left Chad, I didn’t have to worry about
if he was having affairs with her and focused
on myself.
Now I had my own business, and I didn’t feel
tired, I felt secure.
I didn’t want to return to that life.
I didn’t want to see Chad again.
Goodbye, to the past.
I didn’t know what their future was going to
look like, but I had a great future.
