The moment Daisy Buchanan was thrown onto the bed, her hand instinctively paused on her abdomen for a moment, and when he pressed down on her, she struggled slightly.
"Now youre pretending what? Dont you want it?" As he spoke, he reached for her clothes.
Daisy grasped his hand, her tone carrying a hint of unease, "Gently, just this once, be gentle... please, be gentle."
The next day, Daisy awoke with a body full of soreness to find the space beside her cold and empty. Atticus had been unusually tender with her the night before, so much so that she had almost cried...
But no matter how obedient he was to her, he still did not love her. Just then, her phone vibrated with a message from Atticus.
She opened it eagerly, only to find a photo of him with Catherine "Kitty" Genovese! In the picture, Atticus was dressed in a pajama set, looking languid with a softness in his eyes that Daisy had never seen before.
Her hand clenched around the phone as she realized this wasnt from Atticus, but from Kitty! Only Kitty could make Atticus let his guard down and allow her to touch everything that was his.
— Daisy Buchanan, why do you insist on monopolizing Atticus like this? He doesnt love you at all! You know, when Atticus came to me this morning, he was full of anger. You really have some tricks!
Tricks?
Yes, if she hadnt had some tricks, how could Atticus have married her? How could she have kept him by her side for five whole years?
Daisy found Atticuss number in her contacts and dialed directly.
It rang for a while before being answered, and then she heard his cold, usual voice: "I told you, dont call me unless its necessary."
Suppressing all the bitterness in her heart, Daisy asked him, "Where are you now?"
There was a brief pause on the other end of the phone, and then she heard him say, "Its none of your business."
Was it because he was with Kitty and didnt want to tell her, that he spoke like this?
For a moment, Daisy didnt know why she had been entangled with Atticus for five whole years.
And a relationship that never received a response could not be sustained for five years and then another five.
Daisy clutched her phone tightly, her eyes filled with pain.
When this thought burst from the bottom of her heart, her heart suddenly tightened violently, followed by intense uncontrollable pain.
She took a deep breath and said softly to him, "Atticus Finch, yesterday was our fifth wedding anniversary, did you know that?"
Atticus didnt say a word on the other end of the phone, but she heard Kitty calling him to change his clothes.
Her eyes turned sour in an instant, and she closed them, finally making up her mind, "Ill come to your company to find you in an hour."
"What do you want to do? I told you not to step into my company!" His tone suddenly turned cold.
Hearing this answer, Daisy smiled with tears flowing from her eyes, her heart full of exhaustion: "I just want to give you a grand gift. A gift that you will definitely like."
Atticuss voice was a bit urgent, "Where are we going?"
Daisy, with her back to him, her eyes carrying a trace of forbearance, said, "If you dont want me to regret it, follow me to the County Clerks Office now, otherwise, I might tear up this document at any time."
As soon as Daisy finished speaking, Atticus suddenly got up and strode out of the office, leaving her with a cold figure.
Daisy always knew that Atticus didnt want to be entangled with her, but she didnt expect that when they arrived at the County Clerks Office, he had already arranged for someone, and even their divorce procedures were handled extremely quickly.
"Atticus Finch, I wish you well," Daisy said, her face pale, looking at Atticus as she stood in front of the County Clerks Office.
Atticus, however, didnt look at her again, only sneering as he turned around with the divorce certificate.
Daisy stood at the door until she couldnt see Atticuss car anymore, then she couldnt help the blood surging in her heart, coughing violently. She covered her mouth with her hand, only to find it full of blood!
"Maam? Are you okay? You——" A staff member noticed her, but as soon as the question was asked, they saw Daisy suddenly collapse.
The staff member panicked and was about to reach out to catch her, but someone took a step ahead and tightly held the woman who was covered in blood and pale in the face!
