Years Accompanied by Demons

Chapter 11 Divorce

Lawrence's POV

It's been a very bad day. I guess I should have left sooner, but I couldn't leave Stella alone with the pain she was feeling now. I went to Stella's place to look for her, but she was not there, nor was Logan. The door to their house was locked, and the car parked in front of the door was missing. The weeds in the garden had grown tall, the leaves at the door were not swept, and even the mailboxes were piled up with no one to receive them.

A neighbor told me that Stella hadn't been home for the past few days. I was worried about Stella, where could she have gone? I entered Stella's house, and on the table in the living room, I saw a stack of information that Logan had left behind for Stella. Logan's name was already written on it, but Stella hadn't signed it yet. 

I took a cursory look at the contents of the agreement, Logan said he no longer had feelings for Stella and filed for divorce. To compensate Stella, he could give Stella all the property in his name, including the house, car, and savings, because all he wanted was freedom.

I thought it was funny that the Beta, who never dared to disobey Stella and me before, suddenly had the courage? I had to say, the woman named Eleanor seemed to have a special magic, so Logan was willing to give up everything for her. I should be angry, but not knowing why, I was a little jealous. But the worry about Stella overwhelmed this jealousy.

I had to go to Logan's company to look for her. I thought that if Stella was not at home, she would probably go there to wait for Logan.

When I arrived at Logan's foreign trade company, it was the company's lunch break, and I heard Logan's colleagues talking about the news I needed. "I heard that Mr. Christopher is married, and his wife is now waiting for him at his office door."

"Mr. Christopher? Isn't that Eleanor's boyfriend? Then again, Eleanor seems to have resigned too."

"What? Eleanor resigned? I thought she and Mr. Christopher were out of town on a business trip. That's surprising."

I was standing in the office corridor, and the woman was gone. Only Logan didn't seem to be there either. Wait, had he left with the woman? My anger rose suddenly. If Logan had gone away with that woman, it meant that she had lied to me because she hadn't separated from Logan at all.

I decided to go to Stella first. My sister was sitting in front of Logan's office, and she didn't look too good. Her hair was messy. She had heavy dark circles under her eyes, her face looked very lean, and she had lost a lot of weight after a few days of torture. She sat with her arms in the doorway, looking at the people coming and going, who seemed to be accustomed to her presence and did not cast her a strange look.

Logan's office was unlocked, with a reminder posted that he was temporarily away. I guess he hadn't resigned but was just temporarily out of here.

"Stella." I walked over and called out to her, feeling very sad to see Stella in this state.

Stella looked up and gave me a very embarrassed smile, "Lawrence."

She was shedding tears, and I knelt to hug her and suggested to her, "Let's get out of here, okay?"

Stella, however, shook her head. "No, I don't want to leave. I want to wait here for Logan. Logan, he's gone. He doesn't want to go home. But I'm sure he'll come back to the office. I'm going to stay here and wait for him."

Looking at how spineless Stella was, I stretched my left hand and slapped her, "Open your eyes! He is with his mistress now! He doesn't love you! If you still wait for him, you'll lose me." I said those words with a quivery voice. "I swear."

But Stella shook her head, "No, that's not something I want to hear anymore. I must wait for Logan to come back."

The staff around saw us and cast curious glances. I sank my face and looked at them. After meeting my eyes, they walked away in fear. I asked Stella, "Stella, it's better we leave here now."

Once thinking Logan was with that woman, my heart ached. How come that woman be my mate? I tried my best to calm down and forget Eleanor.

As Stella's brother, I couldn't really leave her here.

"Stella, you know he will hardly come back."

I took out the divorce papers that I had taken from their house, put them in front of Stella, and said, "This agreement, you've seen it, right? He wants to divorce you. He likes that woman, and he wants you to set him free."

Stella froze as she looked at the divorce papers, which I'm sure she had read, but subconsciously refused to acknowledge it was from Logan. Every day, she convinced herself that Logan loved her, could not have left her, and that he would surely come back even though we all knew that this was impossible.

Stella covered her face in pain. "No, that's not it. It must have been sent to me by that woman. Logan is under her control, he won't divorce me!" 

"Stella!" I couldn't believe that Stella's situation had become so serious that she was making up such lies to herself just to convince herself that Logan loved her. I reminded her, "Logan's name is on the bottom of this divorce papers. You should be able to see it."

Stella suddenly screamed, "No! I don't believe it! Logan will come back!" She broke down, grabbed the divorce papers on the table, and tore them to pieces in front of me.

The people around her were shocked by her action, and all looked over, making small murmurs. With tears streaming down her face, Stella said, "Please help me get Logan back, or else you'll never come back to me."

I couldn't show her any gentleness now, which would give her a bubble dream.

Stella left the company at the end. I stood there still with an empty mind. I was Stella's brother, and protecting was my responsibility. But looking at her now, all of this was ridiculous. I wouldn't let you two go, Logan and Eleanor, especially Eleanor.

When I was about to leave, the picture of Eleanor in Logan's office stabbed into my eyes, and it seemed that I skipped a heartbeat. That woman had a beautiful face but an ugly character. My revenge couldn't be stopped. Eleanor, let's fall down together till the end of the world!

I called my assistant Mayer. "Mayer, have you got the results of what I asked you to investigate earlier?"
