Series 9
Alexander walked to stand before Wren. “Wren, did you think since you fled three years ago, you could avoid our divorce?” “Fled?” Wren responded as if she had heard a funny joke. She stared back defiantly, her eyes brimming with derision. “You were the one who didn’t show up that day, Alexander. You set the time, but then, you postponed it. Why should I wait for you like some sort of servant? Do you think you’re that important?”
Wren’s words, sharp and dripping with irony, caused Alexander to frown slightly. His expression darkened as he said, “You-”
Before he could continue, Wren interjected, “No need to worry, Mr. Clark. We’ll definitely finalize the divorce. I’ll see you at the courthouse tomorrow at ten.”
Turning to leave, she hesitated momentarily and then glanced back at Alexander with a sarcastic edge in her eyes. “Try to show up on time this time, Mr. Clark. We both know how valuable our time is.”
With that, she walked away without a second glance.
After passing a corner, she paused, her lashes fluttering as she composed herself.
Despite her outward poise, her heart was anything but steady.
Drawing a deep breath, Wren made her way back to the hall.
Upon entering the hall, she was greeted by a sudden commotion from the crowd.
