Reborn Heiress: Married To My Ex-Husband's Rival
Chapter 86 Divorce

Chapter 86: Chapter 86 Divorce

"You got what you’ve always wanted. Revenge. I think that’s enough." Kingsley’s voice flooded into her thoughts, messing with them until they were disoriented.

Jasmine raised her eyes to meet his. Grateful?? Relieved?? Maybe but the sparks were not there.

She had always dreamt of this day. The day she’ll finally get her revenge and see Jack’s empire fall....she had imagined the different scenarios. But now that it happened—she felt neither of the things she had thought.

Inside, it felt like it was just another unfortunate incident that happened to someone she disliked. The sparks were gone and the burning fire was turned off.

Maybe because that wasn’t what she wanted anymore. Along the way, she went astray and fell in love instead. And the love overcame her thirst for revenge. It had subdued it.

"Kingsley...." Jasmine shook her head.

Kingsley cut in on her words. Unable to continue with his cold facade...he found it hard to be harsh to this woman who held his heart. He just wanted to leave her face. "I’ll give you time to think about this." With that, he turned around to leave but Jasmine stood up, wanting to rush after him.

Kingsley paused close to the door. Of course, he heard her stand up from her chair and made to run after him. Or to hug him from behind—maybe, just maybe that would be his ticket to drop all of his revenge plans and scatter all of those thoughts to leave her. But that warmth never came.

Jasmine paused instead, watching him. She was done loving someone willing to leave her behind...if he loved her enough, he would turn around and fucking come to her so they could sort out whatever this was.

In her relationship with Jack, she was always the one willing to worry, sort out misunderstandings, and be the bigger person. This time around—-She won’t be the only one fixing things. She deserved better too and if Kingsley wasn’t willing to have her, then....all good.

But to her disappointment, he only stiffened close to the door and gave her a side look as if waiting for something to happen. But after a while, his shoulder slumped slightly and he opened the door and...he left.

He left. He didn’t turn his back to give her a last look. Not even a single glance.

Jasmine choked on her saliva. Willing her tears to stay at bay and not roll down. The pressure building in her eyes was becoming worse and it started to burn. Jasmine gripped the table, the divorce papers came into her view and that was enough for the burning sensation to spill out. Her tears slid down her cheek and then, another followed.

Kingsley wanted a divorce. After everything—-

Jasmine slumped on her chair, her tears rolling down nonstop until she got exhausted.

Hadn’t been just a contract marriage to him?? His feelings never changed??

Just then, her phone started to ring, and Jasmine weakly grabbed it. Her cheeks had successfully turned bright red and her eyes were wet.

It was Nicole calling.

Jasmine tapped on the green button to answer the call. "Hello." Her voice was cranky, giving away her emotions.

"Jasmine, did you see the news??? Jack is ruined!! His dirty laundry was leaked to the public and also..." Nicole rambled on and on, the words barely registering in Jasmine’s head. "And your father cut ties with his company. That’s the cherry on top of the cake!"

Nicole grunted. "He is a bastard and I’m glad he finally got what he deserved! Gosh."

Jasmine pressed her lips together. Her voice came out in bites. "I saw it too." Her weak voice came out.

Nicole frowned slightly. Finally taking note of the weird tone. "You don’t sound happy. Did something happen?? It is about Mr Elm??"

Hearing his name again, Jasmine smiled bitterly. "He just handed me a divorce paper minutes ago—"

"What??" Nicole was shocked. "What the fuck?? I thought it was just some lover’s quarrel and he is bad at communicating about it!"

Jasmine smiled weakly. She did nothing wrong and before his sudden change of behavior, they had been on good terms. Her mind wandered to Vanessa. "Maybe—he wants to get back with his Ex-fiancée." A cold feeling crept into her chest, twisting her stomach into knots. She suddenly felt sick.

"What the actual fuck??" Nicole couldn’t help but blunt out more curses. "It never beat me that Mr Elm could be a prick!"

Jasmine remained silent. Nicole continued. "Did you sign the papers??"

Jasmine’s eyes landed on the file again and she let out a pain squeal. "I will have to eventually. He doesn’t want me—I can’t force it."

"I know that. But before then, we need to sue his ass."

Jasmine laughed a little."I don’t want that."

Nicole breathed. "He can’t just treat you like this girl! You’re a full option, he can’t just get rid of you without going through some major pain!"

Jasmine leaned back on the chair, so exhausted as she massaged her forehead. "Can we not talk about this for now?? I’m exhausted and..." she couldn’t describe her emotions anymore. She was Short of words.

Nicole sighed. "Fine. You should come over to my apartment tomorrow. We’ll think of something together. For now, take care of yourself and get some rest." Nicole thought for a second. "In fact, i’ll come pick you up tomorrow at your house."

Jasmine relaxed. At least, she’s got her Nicole. "Thank you."

"Come on, baby girl. Brighten up your mood, I’ll come get you by tomorrow," she added. "Also, I know you don’t do stupid things but don’t do anything stupid, okay??"

Jasmine let out a small chuckle. "Of course."

"Take care of yourself, Jasmine," Nicole said softly. Jasmine hummed before ending the call.

She pushed herself off the chair, leaving the divorce papers there. Tomorrow was another day. For now, she would take Nicole’s advice. She will rest and by tomorrow, she’ll figure out what to do next.

Jasmine staggered to her bed and slumped on it, her back hit the bed as she stared at the ceiling.

It felt just like yesterday when she met Kingsley in the traffic. Then, she lied about having a dislocated arm. She shamelessly told him to marry her and surprisingly, he handed her his card.

His enigmatic presence filtered into her. His eyes that held mischief at their first meeting—turned into one that held affection for her after a few months into their marriage—but now, those same eyes held nothing but contempt and hatred for her. Sadly.

A single tear drop slid off the corner of her eyes,wetting her sheets.
