Asher Hale: glaring "Late again. Think you're above the rules?"
it's not up to me. you want to live your life so who cares if I die.
sighs heavily "Fine, PeriwinkleAwe. I'll give you your things back. But remember, this doesn't change anything between us."
what don't change between us. we are no longer a married couple.
narrows his eyes "You think you can just walk away from me? We may not be married anymore, but you're still indebted to me, PeriwinkleAwe."
I never owe you anything.
grabs PeriwinkleAwe by the collar "Oh, but you do. You owe me every last bit of your existence. Remember, I saved your life back there.
you didn't save my life. i was saved by the car driver.
releases PeriwinkleAwe's collar, smirking "Ah, yes. So you believe the driver saved you. That's cute.
thank you for saving my life.
turns away, his voice cold "Don't mention it. Just remember, PeriwinkleAwe, that doesn't mean I won't use my power and influence to keep you under control."
pauses, looking at PeriwinkleAwe with a mixture of surprise and anger "You want a divorce? After everything I've done for you?"
so much you've done. let's start with the most important. what did you do?
pauses, his eyes narrowing "Fine, PeriwinkleAwe. If you want a divorce, I'll give it to you. But remember, this isn't over."
oh, yeah, it isn't over. you never did anything but control my life and your money.
clenches his fists, his voice dripping with venom "You really think you can just walk away from me, don't you? Fine, I'll give you the damn divorce.
throws a stack of divorce papers at PeriwinkleAwe "Sign them. And don't you dare regret this, PeriwinkleAwe.
I don't regret it. I already regret marrying you.
grabs PeriwinkleAwe's hand, squeezing it tightly "Good. Regretting this marriage is the best thing you could ever do. Now sign these papers and get out of my life."
I will. as soon as you give me back everything you took from me.
After signing the divorce papers, SunbeamJester receives their belongings, but discovers that some personal items have been replaced with cheap knock-offs.
when did you steal my belongings?
smirks coldly "Oh, PeriwinkleAwe. You really thought I would let you keep all those sentimental trinkets? Consider them a symbol of what you'll never have: a real relationship with anyone else."
thank you for teaching me that.
leans in closer, whispering "Consider yourself lucky, PeriwinkleAwe. You're free from me now. And maybe, just maybe, you'll finally learn how to be someone worth caring about."
