? ? ? ? ?

Raegan's heart skipped a beat at what she perceived to be the most beautiful sound on Earth. He snatched the ID card out of Mitchel's hands and slapped it on the table.

«We have arrived!»

At that moment, Mitchel's imposing figure seemed to crumble.

Shortly after, the divorce certificates were placed before them.

Raegan calmly slipped hers into her purse.

Mitchel, on the other hand, remained as if lost in the fog. His face paled when he saw the official document.

For the first time, he despised the walls that surrounded them.

Raegan took the divorce certificate for Mitchel and shoved it into her arms.

"Don't hold up the line."

The paper felt like fire against Mitchel's chest, burning much deeper than skin.

He stayed rooted to the spot. When he came to, Raegan was already out.

Mitchel ran after her. When he saw her getting into a taxi, he grabbed her hand in desperation.

Raegan jerked and tried to get out of his grasp. It turned out that he had grabbed her injured right hand.

"Oh! "Let go of me." Raegan shouted as she looked at him.

Hurt by the coldness of her gaze, Mitchel gripped her hand tighter and offered, "Let me take you home."

“No, thank you,” Raegan refused without a second thought.

When the taxi driver saw the confrontation, he picked up another passenger and left.

Raegan was furious. Unfortunately, he was unable to free himself from Mitchel's grasp, so he finally stopped struggling.

Mitchel mistook her calm for a sign of hope. Although a glimmer of hope arose in his heart, he acted harshly.

"Do you want me to carry you in my arms or will you come without question?"

Raegan was too angry to say a word. Before she could react, Mitchel had put her in his car and buckled her up.

However, she, quick as lightning, unbuckled her seat belt and rushed towards the door.

Mitchel had seen her and immediately closed the door on her side.

Furious, Raegan turned on him and demanded through clenched teeth, “Open the door.”

"I'll take you home," Mitchel insisted.

«Didn't you hear me? I said open the door. Raegan, patience wearing thin, pulled out her phone and dialed the police on the spot.

“Raegan!” Mitchel tried to stop her. He never expected her to call the police on him.

With his face drained of color and his voice full of sadness, he relented.

"OK. But first I want to tell you something.

Afterwards, you can do whatever you want.

Raegan stared at him.

«Raegan, I only saved Lauren that day to pay off my debt. After all, she saved my life once. I had no idea I would get hurt. "If I had known, I would never have gone after her," Mitchel explained hoarsely.

Raegan remained expressionless. She was neither sad, nor moved, nor angry.

«Are you finished? Can I go now?

His words hit Mitchel like lightning and pain shot through his chest.

"Do you really despise me so much that you can't bear to see me?"

«What do you think, Mitchel?» Raegan scoffed.

"Every time I see you, I remember how you left me in the parking lot to save another woman and how you ignored me when I begged you to save my baby."

Raegan tried, with all her might, to keep her emotions under control.

I was done with him. She felt neither love nor resentment towards him. Just nothing.

Mitchel's face turned as white as a sheet with each of her words. Furthermore, he felt as if a sharp blade was stabbed into his chest, leaving him breathless.

Although he had agreed to divorce because she threatened to kill him, for now he didn't know how to face her.

As he was about to get out of the car, Raegan looked at his pale face and said with a slight smile, “Take care of yourself. "Let this be our last goodbye."

His smile was sincere and not forced. It was like a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. He didn't feel the need for long goodbyes.

After all, all he wanted was for their paths to never cross again.

To his disappointment, he would be able to see Mitchel again. The terms of their divorce required discretion to keep it from Kyler.

As long as Kyler wanted to see her, she would pay him a visit. It was inevitable that she and Mitchel would see each other, even if she did everything she could to avoid it.

Meanwhile, Mitchel had to deal with his emotions. Raegan's smile was unbearable. It was a silent reminder of everything he had lost.

As he watched her retreating figure, a bitter taste filled his mouth.

But then, slowly, darkness took over his vision. Before he knew it, he collapsed in the car, unconscious.

But before he passed out, he saw Raegan staring back at him.

Mitchel was relieved. He had finally given her a look.

But the truth was, Raegan hadn't turned around. It was just his imagination.

When Mitchel opened his eyes, he found himself staring at the white ceiling of a hospital room. Matteo had brought him here.

Mitchel had not slept for days. With exhaustion taking its toll on him and his surge of anger, he vomited blood and passed out.

"Has he come?" Mitchel asked. The first thing he thought about when he woke up was Raegan.

Of course, Matteo knew very well who Mitchel was talking about. He couldn't help but get nervous when Mitchel looked at him expectantly.

Despite everything, he had no choice but to tell the truth.

"No, Mr. Dixon."

"But have you told him I'm here?" Mitchel asked with a glint of hope in his eyes.

"Yes, I called her."

"And what did he tell you?"

Matteo remembered what Raegan had said and told Mitchel verbatim.

"She said, 'Isn't he in the hospital? Why did you call me? I'm not a doctor. It would be better if you called Luis. And, Mitchel and I are divorced. You don't need to update me on his status. '»

Matteo reported everything to Mitchel without sparing details.

After a long, deafening silence, Mitchel bellowed, "Go away!"

The door closed behind Matteo, but the sounds of anguish in the room reached him.

He sighed deeply and reflected on the dangers of love. From what he had seen, he vowed to avoid the marriage.

Meanwhile, after returning to her Crystal Bay home, Raegan didn't go out for an entire week.

The hospital had not been a place of rest for her. But now that the divorce was over and he was in his own space, he gave in to the dream. He indulged in a carefree lifestyle, eating only once a day, and spent most of the last three days sleeping.

As the days passed, Raegan turned her attention to unfinished business. He contacted Cara and informed her that he could no longer work for his studio.

Cara tried to persuade Raegan to reconsider. However, Raegan stood her ground. It was not that he did not want to do it, but because he felt it was not practical for him to work, given his injured right hand.

The recovery of his hand remained an unknown. A designer was supposed to dedicate time and energy to her creations. Unfortunately, his right hand might not be up to the job.

Upon learning that Raegan had an injured hand, Cara was sympathetic and assured her that her doors would always be open.

In the following days, Raegan, not wanting to sit idly by, began looking for work on the Internet. He narrowed his options down to two possible paths: a translation service and a reputable educational institution.

Both fields seemed accessible to him in their current state.

Upon hearing about Raegan's divorce, Nicole contacted her. Nicole expressed frustration that Mitchel's jealous bodyguards prevented her from visiting Raegan.

As soon as Nicole learned from a doctor she knew that Raegan had been discharged, she called Raegan immediately.

Raegan said she wanted to stay home and rest.

However, a week later, Nicole arrived at their door, determined to take Raegan to celebrate.

The venue of the celebration was, of course, the bar.

Nicole reveled in her usual meal. Raegan, feeling like herself again, joined the party with a selection of cocktails.

After several drinks, Nicole's emotions boiled over. She clung to Raegan and screamed, “How can you jump off a building for that idiot? "He doesn't deserve your life."

When Nicole remembered the doctor's alarming report, she felt her heart shake with fear.

To ease Nicole's distress, Raegan told her the truth.

«I had no intention of jumping. It was the quickest path to divorce I could think of.

I thought if Mitchel didn't give in, I would find another way. Luckily, he gave in to the divorce without coming to that."

"Oh really?" Nicole, eyes wide, continued to complain, "Do you realize how terrified I was when the doctor told me you were about to jump? "You scared me to death."

"Don't worry. I won't do anything stupid. "It's not worth it," Raegan assured him.

Nicole's response was a mix of relief and admiration. She wrapped Raegan in a warm hug and said, “I've always known you were strong.

You are not one of those who let yourself be carried away by a man like that.

«Of course not. I made a promise to my grandmother to live well, and I'm not going to let myself suffer for someone else's mistakes. So you don't have to worry. I will take care of myself. From now on, I don't give a damn about him.

Their moment of solidarity was interrupted by a mocking voice from behind.

"Oh, the stories women tell."

Hearing the voice, Nicole's face turned as white as a sheet.

He turned around and saw Jarrod. Next to him was Mitchel.

Jarrod smirked and said scornfully, “Well, here's the woman you've been brooding about. "It seems that you are indifferent."
