"The Divorce Papers"

Ava

Ava stormed out of the lawyer's office, her stilettos clicking on the marble floor. Five years of marriage, and it had come to this. She couldn't believe Ryder wanted a divorce.

They had built an empire together, Bianchi Enterprises, a conglomerate of luxury hotels and resorts. The memory of their sweet romance, lavish wedding, and countless business triumphs now seemed like a distant dream.

Ryder shrugged. "It's for the best, Ava. We've grown apart."

Ava's anger boiled over. "You're just trying to get rid of me so you can marry that–"
