When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 1219 I Want A Divorce

Meredith had finally had enough. After years of enduring in silence, she was done with the marriage and everything that came with it.

The only reason she had stayed so long was due to pressure from her family. Her parents, worried about the lack of a male heir, had forced her into this union with Zeke, hoping it would benefit the Seiler family.

But she was done sacrificing her happiness for their expectations.

Zeke stared at the divorce agreement in disbelief. He couldn’t process what was happening. “You want a divorce? You’ve got to be kidding.”

He couldn’t understand it. After all, when he had been off with other women, even fathering an illegitimate child, Meredith had never once brought up the idea of divorce.

So why now?

Meredith’s eyes were cold as she looked at him. “I’m not joking. Read the agreement. If you find nothing wrong, we’ll get the divorce.

She was nearing thirty, and she had spent far too many years wasted in the Turner family,

Meredith dreamed of finding someone who would truly cherish her–or maybe even raise children on her own terms, free from the chains of this loveless marriage.

“Are your parents aware of this?” Zeke asked, clearly shocked. He knew her parents were her weak spot. She had always listened to them, even when it came to her marriage.

But Meredith remained calm. “I’m an adult, Zeke. I don’t need my parents‘ permission to decide the fate of my own marriage.

Zeke’s face twisted in anger. “You-“He raised his hand, ready to strike her.

Meredith didn’t flinch. She met his gaze with unshakable resolve. “Go ahead, hit me,” she said. “I’ll go straight to the hospital, get an examination, and then report you to the police. Let’s see how well that goes for you.”

Zeke hesitated, his hand trembling before he lowered it, unable to comprehend the sudden change in her.”

“Fine!” he spat. “You want a divorce, we’ll divorce. But you’ll regret this.”

Regret?

Meredith found his threat almost laughable. The only regret I have is not leaving sooner. If anything, I would be celebrating my newfound freedom.

With his pride wounded, Zeke reluctantly skimmed over the divorce agreement. Finding no issues with it, he signed his name. “We’ll go to City Hall tomorrow,” he muttered.

“All right,” Meredith replied coolly.

Wasting no time, she called her assistant to arrange for movers to come and pack up her things.. dowry into the marriage, and now she intended to take every last bit of it back.

Zeke watched, convinced that she would soon come crawling back, apologizing to her parents for her rash decision. But this time, he was wrong.

As her belongings were packed up, Meredith made one last call to her parents. Her voice was calm but firm.

“Mom, Dad, I’m divorcing Zeke, I want a husband who values me and children of my own. Don’t you want grandchildren related to us by blood? Besides, I’m fully capable of running the Seiler family business now. You don’t need to worry anymore. Also, don’t try to persuade me or seek out anyone from the Turner family. I’ve made up my mind and no one can change it

To her surprise, her parents, Brett and Anais, didn’t argue as they usually did.

“Meredith, we’ve held you back all these years, they admitted, finally realizing their mistake.

For years, Brett and Anais had pushed her into a marriage with the Turner family, hoping it would save their business.

But the Turners failed to help them, and Zeke even fathered an illegitimate child, forcing their daughter to take care of the boy. As a result, Meredith had been childless until now.
