The divorce was moving faster than expected—turns out, when you hold all the leverage, things go your way.Nathan had tried, at first. Tried to negotiate, tried to reason with me. But I had been done reasoning. I took what was mine, and I walked away without looking back.Mira? Well, she had gotten what she wanted, in a way. Nathan was hers now—except he wasn’t the powerful, successful man she had imagined. He was a man without a home, without his company, without the safety net I had spent years building for him. And the last I heard, their fairytale reunion wasn’t going as smoothly as she had hoped.I had expected to feel empty after it was all over, but I didn’t. I felt lighter. Stronger. For the first time in over a decade, my life was truly my own.And as I stood there, watching the city lights flicker like tiny stars, I realized something beautiful:I had been his wife.But now, I was the woman he would spend the rest of his life regretting.
