How could she overlook that?

Forrest was not the man he used to be!

For her mother's sake, she held her tongue.

She extended her arm and demanded, “Hand it over to me!"

Forrest motioned for someone to give it to her.

With a sigh, Divya lifted the pen. The marriage she had fought so hard for was drawing to this bitter close.

Nothing achieved through force could ever be pleasant!

A wave of regret and resentment washed over her at that moment!

She allowed her eyes to shut for a fleeting instant.

Then, taking the pen, she signed her name on the agreement!

“Forrest, from this moment, we're nothing more than strangers." With those words, she let the pen slip from her fingers, the sound of it clicking against the table echoed around the room.

The love she had once harbored for Forrest was now extinct.

All that remained was her loathing for the devastation brought to her family.

“Hand over the money you promised. Immediately!"

As Forrest reclined on the couch, he inquired, "Why should I pay you?"

"You guaranteed a certain amount post the signing of the divorce papers. Are you going to go back on your words?" Divya's brow furrowed.

Forrest didn't refute.

"I did promise, but at the time, you hadn't signed. The deadline has expired, and you can no longer claim that sum."

"Did you deceive me?" Divya's anger flared.

"It wasn't deception. You forfeited the opportunity, didn't you?" A touch of impatience crept into Forrest's voice.
