Orion''s eyes widened as he strained to look at Alexander. Alexander sat there, all smug, like a king judging a peasant. "But you," Alexander sneered, "you won''t get off so easy."


    Orion''s face twisted. "Why are you so messed up?"


    Alexander just shrugged. "Guess you don''t know me well enough, Mr. William. I can get a lot worse. Don''t get that divorce, and you''ll see."


    Orion''s face darkened, ring but speechless.


    Alexander leaned in. "You''re smart. You know once you''re dead, it''s game over."


    Orion looked down, silent, thinking, ''If I die, being Quinn''s husband means nothing. I''ve pushed Alexander too far. If I keep this up, he''s done ying.''? 2024 N?v/el/Dram/a.Org.


    Alexander smirked. "Made up your mind yet, Mr. William?"


    Orion opened his mouth, wanting to give in, but couldn''t. He didn''t want to give in to Alexander because he didn''t want to lose. But then he saw that hunting dog gnawing on a bloody bone and swallowed hard. ''If I die, what do I have left? Haunt him as a ghost?'' Orion thought.


    Alexander said, "Having backbone is good, but too much is just dumb."


    He stood up, ready to leave. "Looks like you''ve made your choice." "Wait!" Orion blurted out.

    Alexander paused, ncing back.


    Orion closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and finally said, "I''ll get a divorce."


    Alexander smiled.


    "You win. I''ll agree to the divorce," Orion said weakly.


    "Guess your feelings aren''t that deep," Alexander scoffed.


    Orion didn''t argue, lying there like a rag doll. He''d never admitted defeat, not even to his father. The humiliation and anger almost crushed him. Alexander ignored him, walking away. "See you at City Hall at nine the day after tomorrow."


    Sean let go of Orion, who justy there, lifeless.


    Sean nudged him with his toe. "nning to sleep here? Need a nket?"


    Orion rolled his eyes at Sean.


    After a while, he sat up, looking defeated. "Does Alexander really have the guts?"


    Sean looked at him coldly. "Haven''t you figured it out? Be d you have a powerful dad and brother, or you''d be dog food by now."


    Orion frowned. Whenever someone mentioned his family, he felt annoyed. Without them, he was nothing. And deep down, he knew it was true.
