Raegan had made up her mind and decided to step aside to make room for the oh-so-happy couple.

Without her, Mitchel and Lauren could now dance off into the sunset.

After a moment, Mitchel pursed his lips and softly yet resolutely said, "I won't accept the divorce."

“What do you mean you can't accept that? What makes you think you have a say?" Raegan scoffed.

"You broke my heart, Mitchel."

When the phone call ended, it put a stop to any further discussions.

Raegan was done with him.

This time around, Mitchel could sweet-talk all he wanted, but she would not fall for his words again.

Raegan was done being a fool. She was drained and done with carrying the weight of their broken relationship.

At her words, Mitchel felt a searing pain, Like a blade twisting in his heart. He was aware she had made her choice, but he could not bring himself to let her go. He could not imagine the future without her.

The mere thought made his heart ache.

Mitchel reached out to wrap her in his embrace. But the instant his hand reached out, Raegan recoiled and turned her face in disgust.

Mitchel gripped her shoulders earnestly and said, “Raegan, I promise to make it up to you and set things right. I won't leave you hanging when you need me most. Can we please make up and get back to a good place?"

"And how do you plan on doing so?" Raegan asked mockingly.

A glimmer of hope flickered in Mitchel's eyes, and he promised, “I'll do whatever it takes."

How ridiculous. Raegan felt an urge to Laugh. If it were in the past, she might have fallen for it.

But if Mitchel truly cared, he would not have ghosted her for three days following her grandmother's death.

At the end of the day, Lauren was the woman he had in his heart.

And what Tessa had said in the nursing house hinted that Lauren was the mastermind behind the spectacle.

Raegan trusted her gut.
