Williams’ obliviousness to the strained atmosphere only amplified the discomfort. Wayne seized the moment to

reinforce his earlier point, his voice laced with mockery. “See, Alex? You owe much of your success to her.”

The crowd, now aware of the significance of Emma in Alex's professional life, began to disperse, leaving Alex to

grapple with this revelation.

As he prepared to leave, a memory of forcing Emma to attend a banquet flashed through his mind. She had

concealed her discomfort, remaining by his side with a strained smile. The realization of her silent endurance

filled him with remorse.

Exiting the venue, Alex's thoughts were interrupted by the sight of Emma chatting comfortably with Wayne and

Jada. A pang of jealousy struck him at their closeness.

Unable to contain his emotions, Alex approached them with a biting remark. “Seems a bit inappropriate, doesn’t

it, Mr. Wayne?”

Emma's reaction was swift and cold. “My interactions are none of your concem, Alex.” With that, she walked

away, her disdain for him clear. Jada and Wayne moved away to mingle with other guests.

Left standing, Alex impulsively followed her, his frustration boiling over. “So quick to move on, Emma? Don’t

embarrass yourself or me.” He grabbed Emma's wrist, forcing her to pay attetion to

him.

Emma, unfazed by his grip on her wrist, met his anger with icy calm. “Your opinions are irrelevant tonow,

Alex. You and Bella are none of my concern.

Freeing herself, she continued, “Marrying you was a mistake | regret deeply. | lost myself trying to please

someone who never truly saw me. This divorce, Alex, is my liberation.”

With those final words, Emma moved away, leaving Alex alone with his tumultuous thoughts. The sharpness of

her words and the finality of her departure hit him hard.

Standing there, fists clenched, Alex was left to confront the harsh truth: Emma had moved beyond the shadow of

their failed marriage, finding strength and clarity he had never known she possessed. Her departure from his life

and marriage marked not just the end of their relationship but also the beginning of her new, independent

journey. Alex was left to contemplate the magnitude of his loss and the depth of his misunderstanding of the

woman he had once called his wife.
