Filed to story: My Husband Regrets Divorcing Me (Audrey & Cornell)
Anger flashed in Cornell’s reddening eyes as he forced out each word, “Answer me.”
Her patience fraying, Audrey lashed out, “Have you lost your senses?
Haven’t I made myself clear today? We’re divorced. My life is no longer your concern. You are nothing but my ex-husband!”
“It’s none of my concern?”
Cornell’s mind was in a mess.
He had been in the car downstairs, staring at the light in her room, telling himself that Henley was just paying a brief visit and that he would leave shortly.
Cornell knew he shouldn’t act rashly, or Audrey would scorn him.
He consoled himself for an agonizing half-hour, each moment stretching on like an eternity.
But Henley’s casual remark shattered his fragile calm.
In a flash, his heart splintered.
He still saw Audrey as his, off-limits to any other man.
The mere idea of her with someone else in the intimate moments…
Cornell felt his sanity fray at the edges.
Swallowed by jealousy, he craved the truth.
Cornell’s grip tightened on Audrey’s chin.
“Audrey, I will ask you one last time. Did you sleep with him?”
The pain brought tears to Audrey’s eyes, her rage fueling a defiant resolve. She straightened her neck, her voice firm.
“That’s not your concern.”
“Is that so?”
Cornell’s scoff was a dark omen as he hoisted her up and flung her onto the bed.
“Since you won’t confess, I’ll find out myself.”
A wave of dread washed over Audrey’s features, a foreboding chill settling in.
After taking a shower, Audrey put on a conservative ankle-Length nightgown.
But since Cornell threw her onto the bed unceremoniously, her nightgown was lifted up more than half, revealing her straight, long legs.
The soft might light shone on her delicate skin, making her look extra charming.
Cornell’s eyes darkened. As he knelt on the bed and stared at Audrey, his tailored suit pants instantly tightened.
Audrey felt her heart sank to the bottom. She reached out, pushed him away, and said in a trembling voice, “Cornell, what are you doing? Are you out of your mind? We are divorced. I can sue you for rape…”
Before she could finish her words, her wrists were restrained by Cornell, and he raised her hands above her head.
“Yes, I must be crazy.”
Indeed, when his manic depression attacked, he was almost no different from a madman.
In the past two years, he had a satisfying life and a good career.
There was no trigger, so he got his illness under control.
But recently, there were so many trigger factors that made his condition worse. And in most cases, the medicine couldn’t immediately suppress it.
Cornell continued in a voice as cold as ice, “Audrey, you know what I care about the most. Don’t drive me crazy.”
Suddenly, Audrey’s mind went blank. She didn’t want to anger him, so she tried to explain in a trembling “Cornell, no… Henley and voice, I didn’t do it… Don’t touch me.
When she finally decided to tell him the truth, it was already too late.
The seed of suspicion was already planted in his heart, and it was growing bigger and stronger. It was difficult to convince him to believe unless that seed was dug out.
Cornell knew in his heart that he should stop. But he couldn’t control himself. He stretched out his hand and said, “Audrey, just let me have a look. I won’t touch you.”
Audrey’s heart sank.
She didn’t say anything. Her hands were restrained by him, and she could not struggle. So, she tilted her head and bit his arm hard until the taste of blood filled her mouth. However, it still didn’t help.
Cornell was so strong that he could deal with ten of her.
Audrey’s eyes suddenly turned red.
She frowned and said through clenched teeth, “I hate you.”
Her face flushed, and tears streamed down her face.
Now that Cornell got the answer he wanted, his anger dissipated a lot, and his expression became relaxed.
He held her cheeks as if it was a treasure and kissed her tears.
“Audrey, I’m sorry. I’m really crazy.”
Audrey was tall and lean. At this moment, her body shrank, revealing only a pair of feet. It made her look like a small child.
For some reason, her wrinkled nightgown made her look even more charming.
While looking at her like this, Cornell felt aroused. His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down. He hadn’t had sex with her for a long time, and he badly wanted to do it now.
He almost lost control of himself.
Cornell did his best to restrain himself. He couldn’t do what he wanted since it would only disgust Audrey even more.
So, he just held her gently and said, “Does it hurt? Do you want to go to the hospital?”
Audrey curled up in bed. She was trembling not only with pain but also with anger.
He said he wouldn’t touch her. But what he did to her was even more humiliating and painful.
She did her best to remain calm and said in a trembling voice, “Get out.”
“Audrey, I’m so sorry. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have let myself be provoked by Henley.”
“Cornell, didn’t you hear me? I said get out of here!”
At this moment, she was still trembling, and her voice sounded weak.
But there was an apparent trace of disgust in her words.
Even her body in Cornell’s arms was stiff.
Cornell thought for a while. Then he let go of her and said, “I’m leaving now. But if you feel uncomfortable, let me know.”
But Audrey just ignored him. She buried her face in the quilt, not wanting to look at him.
Cornell seemed to have said something about coming back tomorrow, but Audrey didn’t hear it clearly. And she was not in the mood to listen.
After the door was closed, she slowly got up from the bed and tried to walk. It was painful for her to walk a few steps.
Cornell was so rude just now that she felt the same pain as their first time.
She called Nicole. As soon as her call was connected, she said weakly, “Nicole, can I stay at your house for a few days?”
“Yes, of course! You don’t even need to ask,” Nicole readily agreed.
But she sensed that something was off with Audrey’s voice. She couldn’t help asking, “”Audrey, what’s wrong with you?”
“Nothing. Don’t worry about me. By the way, can you help me contact a reliable agency to sell my apartment? The sooner, the better. I need money.”
Nicole knew there must be something wrong with Audrey. But she couldn’t find it out on the phone, so she could only wait and ask Audrey later.
After hanging up, Audrey started packing up.
While packing, her heart felt heavy.
She thought she could live a peaceful life after the divorce. However, Cornell didn’t want to let her go.
Audrey didn’t believe Cornell loved her. He was just obsessed with her body.
He even treated herself as his own possession. And he didn’t allow others to touch her.
