“Blood spilled, bonds were severed, and the family was sundered.”
These words, sharp as thorns, found purchase within her consciousness. The
raw truth unfurled, leaving Millie reeling.
Celeste consulted a fortune-teller who predicted an unfavorable outcome for
Millie and Marcus based on their birthdates. The forecast indicated a difficult
relationship and a miserable ending for them.
Millie's lips pressed into a taut line, recognizing the weight of superstition that
often gripped the wealthy.
“Is your desire then to orchestrate our separation? To pave the way for our
divorce.”
With determination, Millie folded the paper, her words clear and unambiguous.
Yet Millie's utterance bore a twist of irony, as Celeste hadn't expected such a
frank declaration.
“Yes, I do wish for your divorce. Marcus is my only offspring. My yearning is for
his safety and well-being.”
Millie's brow furrowed as she stood in place.
“You truly are a greedy woman.” Celeste’s voice dripped with scorn as she
handed a card to Millie. “There's one million dollars on this card. Take it and file
for divorce.”
Millie's eyes flicked between the card and Celeste’s sneering face, and she
responded with a disdainful curl of her lip.
“Isn't that enough for you?” Celeste snapped. “You should know your place. You
don't even deserve half of what I'm giving you!”
Celeste’s hand began to tremble as she held out the card, growing frustrated by
Millie's refusal to accept it. Her disdain for Millie deepened, convinced that Millie
must be holding out for more money.
What a greedy woman!
Millie's voice was firm as she said, “Whether I'm worth it or not is irrelevant. I
won't take your money. Take back your card.”
Her eyes were resolute and cold.

Millie maintained her silence. Her posture was neither subservient nor defiant.
She didn’t even address the topic of divorce.
