Chapter 5 I was sitting at a tiny cafe tucked into the corner of an old alley . Not some big - name spot . Definitely not Finn's Glory Cafe , even though they made the one coffee I actually liked . I didn't want anything that reminded me of him right now . I was poking at a slice of tiramisu , half - eaten , just watching the foam in my cappuccino melt . In my last life , whenever I got the guts to talk to Finn about how I really felt , it was always the same routine . He'd hush me with that look of his , calm me down with a touch on my hand , or drop some expensive gift in front of me like that was supposed to fix everything . And stupid me , I let it every time . Like his approval was the only thing that made me real . Thinking back on all of it now just made me laugh . God , I was pathetic . Then my phone buzzed . It was Finn . " Don't forget what this marriage is about , business . Don't expect anything else from me . I'm not like other husbands . I never will be . " Yeah , no kidding . Like I didn't already know that . But what he didn't know ? We'd already signed the divorce papers . He just hadn't seen the final notice yet . And I wasn't gonna spell it out for him . I wanted to see the look on his face when he finally realized it , when he figured out that I left him before he even noticed I was gone . *** A week passed . Some huge charity event was happening , sponsored by Finn , of course .
