It was all going smoothly.

Darwin, surprised to see her, called out, “Alexis!”

She glanced at him and then at Serenity, understanding the undercurrents.

Serenity must be the one who filed the divorce so she could be with Leonel. But that wasn't Alexis' concern anymore. With a brief nod, she moved on to find her client, leaving Darwin to Serenity's biting sarcasm.

“Now you can chase after your goddess, thrilled that she's no Longer with Leonel," Serenity remarked sharply.

Darwin, annoyed, replied, "What are you implying? You wanted this divorce."

“Yes, but were your feelings for her not why you marry me in the first place? Was it not because I played the piano just like her?"

Serenity's bitterness was palpable. "Both you and Leonel treated me as nothing but a replacement."

Darwin had grown weary of Serenity's constant snide remarks after four years of marriage.

Finally, he found himself free.

He had given her a considerable sum of money, ensuring her comfort henceforth. With no children and an unconsummated marriage, he felt no further obligations toward her.

Initially, Darwin had planned to offer Serenity a ride, but her biting remarks made his presence unbearable.

Deciding against it, he left on his own, opening his car door and driving off into a future that didn't include her.

As he drove away, Darwin caught a glimpse of Serenity's frazzled state in the rearview mirror.

She stayed there, angrily cursing him, calling him a jerk.

It was a stark contrast to the charm she possessed when they had married. He hadn't expected such a drastic change in her.

Deep in thought, Darwin called the driver, instructing him to pick her up.

His mind was a whirlwind of emotions, agitated by Serenity's words.

He wondered if things would have been different if he had never married her. Could he have pursued Alexis instead? He reminisced about seeing Alexis play the piano during his visit when she was just a child, her smile revealing small dimples, making her seem Like a really cute princess.

Now, he found himself longing to claim that princess for himself.
