Chapter 8 Jeff stared at the screen , watching me shake hands with officials from another country's Commerce Department . His Adam's apple bobbed violently . " Tell the finance department to raise the interest rate on the shares pledged to the bank by two points , " he muttered . Meanwhile , as the plane pierced through the stratosphere , I was at the executive lounge of a hotel , signing for a special delivery . I peeled back the protective foam to reveal all our marriage and divorce papers . A sticky note from Scarlett , sent from back home , was tucked between them . [ He says collecting all of these will make you change your mind . ] I pressed the call button and smiled at the concierge who arrived . " Please shred these for me , " I said lightly . By the time Jeff finally tracked me down , I was sitting in a café with Albert Foster from Foster Enterprise , the man I was supposed to be forming a marriage alliance with . In a glass conservatory on Everton Avenue , Albert's fingers traced the rim of his coffee cup slowly. For three years , this Monarch Street acquisition powerhouse , known as the " Mad Wolf ", had only ever shown this kind of patience with me . " It's been three years and four months since we met , " he said , reaching into his suit pocket and pulling out a small blue velvet box . 1 " I've decided to stop counting the days . " The moment he opened the box , the sunlight streaming through the glass seemed to converge on the center stone . It was a 12 - carat rare pink diamond , surrounded by more than 20 top - quality white diamonds . It looked like a miniature galaxy . " I had it taken out from a Montreux bank last month , " he said, lifting my wrist adorned with a thin business watch . " It suits you even better than I imagined . " The right hand of the man who had signed countless merger deals trembled slightly from nervousness . " If you don't want to wear it on your ring finger , you can wear it on a necklace first , " Albert added cautiously . I shook my head with a smile , about to let him slide the ring onto my finger , when a deafening crack of breaking tempered glass cut me off . Shards sparkled through the air as Jeff burst in like an untamed beast . His leather shoes crunched over broken glass , the sound grating . " Helen His bloodshot eyes locked on Albert and my entwined hands . " You are my wife ! What are you doing ? This is bigamy ! It's illegal ! " Albert , fully aware of everything between Jeff and me , recognized him immediately and stepped forward to shield me " You and Helen are already divorced She can marry whoever she wants . " Chapter 8 +25 BONUS " Shut up ! " Jeff slammed his palm onto the round table . Coffee spilled over the edge , staining his suit pants . " She's my wife ! " he ground out through clenched teeth while glaring at Albert . " Who the hell are you ? Who said you could touch her ? " So what we're divorced ? Helen agreed to remarry me . I'm here to bring her home! " Albert tried to argue further , but I gently tugged at his sleeve , shaking my head . I looked at Jeff as though I were staring at a stranger . I said calmly , " Our seventh divorce was three years ago . " His body shook violently as he processed this . " You're saying that just to get back at me , right ? You promised to remarry me . I know you still love me . " It's all Larissa's fault . She seduced me , so I divorced you again and again , hurting you every time . I've punished her for it . "
