Hannah
"Gemma" "What are you doing here?" She crossed her arms and looked at me, from top to toe. "I'm going to buy coffee for me and Shawn. So if you excuse me, it's my turn to order" I turned around from her to order mine and Shawn's coffee, but Gemma grabbed my arm and pulled me with her out from the line.
"Hey!" "You stay away from mine and Shawn's marriage!" She pointed at me "Excuse me?"
"I'm not going to let you be the reason we divorce" "Well if you didn't know, Shawn is ready for a divorce. He signed the paper as quickly you walked out of his office. He even sent it"
She just let out a sarcastic laugh and shook her head "No he didn't" "Yes he did, I saw him sign that paper" "Oh darling, he didn't. It probably was another paper. Because I haven't got anything that says that he has signed it" "And why would I believe you?" I raised one eyebrow and crossed my arms. "You don't believe me?"
"No, actually I don't. Why would I?" "Because I can prove it to you" she took out her phone from her purse and showed me her mail. "See not a single mail that says that he has signed it" she scrolled down the mail list at a slow pace so I could see where every mail came from. And I couldn't see anything. But I still couldn't believe her. "You could have just deleted it"
She went in on the gallery and showed me a picture "Did the paper look like this?" She showed me a picture of a paper and I nodded "Yeah" "Look in the upper right corner. Do you see that name? Is the name of his company. It's not the divorce paper he signed Hannah. He signed some business papers. And why would he have the divorce paper at his office? I bet that he has it home somewhere"
She shoved her phone back in her purse "I'm sorry Hannah. But he has been lying to you" She turned around and walked out of the coffee shop. Leaving me with a crack in my heart. I can't believe it. Why did he lie to me? Has he been lying about more stuff?

"Here is your coffee," I said and put the takeaway cup on his desk. "Thank you" he smiled up at me but I just turned around and walked towards the door but he grabbed my wrist causing me to turn around. "What has happened?" "Nothing" "Hannah, I can see that something has happened. So tell me" he intertwined our fingers but I slipped my fingers away from his. "Nothing. Everything is fine" I turned around and walked to my desk. I don't want to make a scene here at work. It's better if I talk about this when we get home.
"Hannah for real" Shawn said and walked out from his office and stood on the other side of my desk. Resting his palms on top of the desk and leaning in a little bit closer. "Tell me. I can see that something is bothering you" He said low, to not make the other employees hear our conversation. "We can talk about it when we get home. So if you excuse me, I need to do your schedule for this upcoming month"
He let out a heavy sigh before he walked back to his office and closed the door behind him.
I couldn't work properly that day. Too many thoughts spun around in my head. I told Shawn that I didn't feel very well and he said that I should go home and rest.

Once I was home I walked up to his office room and searched for the divorce paper in the drawers and there it was. The divorce paper. And the line was empty. So Gemma didn't lie to me.
Why did Shawn lie to me then? Why did he pretend that it was the divorce paper he signed when it was a business paper? Why did he do this to me? How could he do this to me? How blind could I be that I didn't see that it wasn't the divorce paper he signed?
Tears started to form in my eyes and not long after they rolled down my cheeks. The phone that was on his desk -that I guess is his work phone- lit up and I couldn't help to look. I grabbed the phone and my heart broke into million pieces.
De l'amour
I hope you are ready for the
next auction tomorrow night.
7 am.

So he lied about this as well. He promised that he wouldn't be a part of De Lamour anymore. He told me that he was going to quit it. But he didn't. He has been lying to me all this time. But why though? Does he even love me? Is he just using me?
As tears streamed down my cheeks I run into our bedroom and threw my suitcase on the bed and started to threw all my clothes in a big pile. I didn't even care to fold them and place them properly in the suitcase. I just wanted to leave as quickly as possible. And this time I mean it. I won't come back to him. Not this time. Not now when he has been lying to me.
When I was done the suitcase was in the hall and I sat down on one of the bar chairs at the kitchen island and waited for Shawn to come home. I had the paper in front of me. Tears in my eyes so I saw everything blurry.
I heard the keys rattle on the other side of the door and he opened. "Are we going to travel?" he chuckled. I jumped down from the chair and his smile dropped when he saw my tears. "No. But I'm going to leave. And I mean it this time. I hope you have a great life"
"What are you talking about?" he shook his head confused. "This Shawn. I'm talking about this" I held the paper in front of me. "How did you get that?" his voice was firm and he had a serious facial expression. "It doesn't matter. Because I'm leaving"

This is just the beginning. So I know that I couldn't leave you guys like this. So why not updating 2 chapters on the row? That's why this chapter is shorter than usual
