Kindly Sign the Divorce Papers Curt by Miles of Scenery

The heavy bass from the club downstairs vibrated through the thick Persian rug, traveling up the stiletto heels of Coralie Hyde's shoes and settling deep in her bones.

She walked down the dimly lit VIP hallway of the exclusive Manhattan private club. The air smelled of expensive cigars and spilled secrets.

Coralie rounded a massive marble sculpture. Her eyes locked onto the frosted glass door of Suite 88. It was slightly ajar.

Cale Montgomery leaned against the walnut-paneled wall of the corridor. His broad shoulders relaxed. His tie hung loose around his neck.

Hayleigh Burns stood pressed against him. Her body was poured into a tight red dress. Hayleigh's manicured fingers toyed with the second button of Cale's crisp white shirt.

Cale did not push her away. Instead, he looked down at her with a lazy, indulgent smirk playing on his lips.

Coralie's stomach dropped. A sharp, physical pain radiated from her sternum, making it hard to draw a breath.

Three years of marriage. Three years of telling herself he was just busy, just cold, just reserved. The perfect filter she had placed over her life shattered into jagged pieces right there in the hallway.

She sucked in a sharp breath. The cold air hit the back of her throat. The tightness in her chest hardened into something solid. Ice cold.

Coralie lengthened her stride. She stopped trying to walk softly. Her heels clicked sharply against the marble border of the rug.

Cale's head snapped up at the sound. His dark eyes cut through the dim lighting.

When he recognized his usually compliant, quiet wife, his pupils dilated. A microscopic flinch tightened his jaw.

Hayleigh felt him tense. She frowned, turning her head to glare at the woman interrupting them.

Coralie stopped exactly two feet away from them. She kept her spine perfectly straight. She tilted her chin up.

Hayleigh rolled her eyes. She let out a loud, mocking scoff and pressed her breasts harder against Cale's arm.

A waiter in a black vest hurried down the hallway. He carried a silver tray loaded with freshly poured, ice-cold martinis.

A memory of last week's anniversary, when he hadn't even come home, flashed in her mind. That, combined with the sight of them right now... it was enough. The three years of silent submission finally reached its breaking point. Coralie did not hesitate. She reached out with her left hand-the hand wearing the massive Montgomery diamond ring. She grabbed a full martini glass off the tray.
