He Loved Her Too Late to Matter

On her 28th birthday, Chelsea Schneider gave herself a very special gift.

“Alaric, can you help me draft a divorce agreement? I want to cut all ties with Magnus.”

Alaric Malcom looked at her seriously. “Chelsea, are you sure about this? I’ll do everything I can to help, but Magnus loves you. He won’t let you go that easily.”

Chelsea paused for a moment and wondered, 'Does Magnus really love me?'

“I’ll find a way to make him agree,” she said firmly.

That evening, she wore the most stunning gown she owned and walked into her birthday party with quiet confidence.
