The Night I Asked for Divorce, He Lost Control Chapter 1

The night I asked for a divorce, I walked into his room wearing lingerie.

He didn’t hesitate—one hand pinned my wrist above my head, the other slid slowly down my waist, deliberate, possessive.

I was forced against him, fully aware of how his body reacted, unmistakably.

He lowered his head and bit my earlobe.

I hooked my leg around his ankle and pulled him closer.

Then he stopped.

He looked at me, desire bare in his eyes, and said,

“Do you know what this means?”

0I had been in a contract marriage with Noah Thorne, the incubus CEO, for three years without any real relationship.

The day I proposed divorce, he calmly agreed, but suddenly pop-up comments appeared above his head:

"Bro’s already got the custom-sized handcuffs in the basement and still playing gentleman? Sure."

"Girl, the second you sign, you’ll wake up next to that creep you hate."

"The kidnapping arc is here! With all that pent-up rage, it’s gonna be wild. Aren’t incubuses supposed to have barbs? Little villainess is about to pass out…"

"Smh. If you’d been even slightly nice to him, this yandere would’ve worshiped you. Now love’s twisted into obsession…"

My hand trembled as I was about to sign. I looked up at the expressionless man before me:

"Um, maybe we shouldn’t get divorced after all."

"What?" Noah’s thin eyelids flickered slightly, his tone indifferent.

His nonchalant attitude made me wonder if I had imagined those pop-up comments.

I took a deep breath, put down the half-signed pen, and scrambled for an explanation:

"I suddenly don’t want a divorce anymore. We’ve been together for three years, we’re used to each other’s presence. To be honest, I think I’d miss you…"

As I trailed off, the man’s expression grew increasingly confused. I lost my confidence and my voice got softer and softer.

My marriage to Noah had been an accident.

Five years ago, ever since a poor intern named Tina Sterling joined the company, my smooth-sailing life had fallen apart.

My childhood sweetheart, who had promised to take care of me for life, fell for her instead. He publicly broke off our engagement, humiliating me.

Even my usually doting parents inexplicably took Tina’s side.

Consumed by jealousy, I impulsively married Noah Thorne, the rumored cold and vicious incubus CEO that everyone avoided, just to prove I wasn’t unwanted.

For three years after the wedding, I kept trying to get back at Tina but failed miserably each time.

Either Noah would find out and stop me in advance, or my schemes would backfire spectacularly.

Recently, my attempts to frame Tina were exposed. I became a social pariah, with many friends cutting ties.

I knew Noah had always despised my vicious behavior and favored Tina.

I figured I might as well dump him first before he could abandon me like the others. It would at least make me look more in control.

When I texted about wanting a divorce, Noah was in the middle of an important meeting.

But he called back almost immediately.

"Reason?" His voice came through the phone.

I laughed maliciously: "Last time I accidentally saw your tail when the bathroom door wasn’t closed properly. It was all slimy and gross."

So now when I said I "couldn’t bear to leave him", it was so unconvincing that even I didn’t believe it…

"You’re sure you don’t want a divorce?" Instead of the expected cold laughter, the man’s deep voice snapped me back to reality.

"I don’t want to divorce for now."

I studied Noah’s expression, but saw no trace of joy on his face.

"As you wish." After a few seconds, he took the half-signed divorce agreement on the table and put it through the shredder.

The pop-up comments appeared again:

"What’s with the villainess? Did she finally gain a brain cell?"

"Is Lila finally scheming to use Noah? Might be too late though—his hatred’s already rooted."

"Did you see his smirk when he shredded the papers? Dude was terrified she’d change her mind!"

"Keep it up girl, don’t stop! Go all in! Noah’s a yandere incubus with no morals, and you’re the villainess. You two are perfect match. If you win him over, taking down Tina will be a piece of cake!"
