Capture Your Heart novel Chapter 205

Stanley is exasperated. “How can you ask us to get divorced? She’s your sister and she loves me.”

Smashing his hands on the desk, Troy rises to his feet. “The only thing you do as her husband is to hurt her. She deserves better.”

After a moment of deliberation, Stanley nods. “Fine. I promise you that I’ll divorce her.”

“Huh! Look at you. You don’t care about my sister but your wealth.”

“No. It’s just because I don’t love her at all. Our marriage is a business trade. I don’t want to sacrifice my father’s company for a boring marriage.”

“You son of a bitch! My sister has sacrificed her whole youth for you, but you’re a monster don’t know how to love her. Get the fucking away from her now! Then there are no connections between you and my family.”

Stanley sneers, “Yes. I don’t know how to love. Do you?”

He turns around before leaving. “Forget to remind of the night when William and Karin got drunk. They were so drunk that they didn’t realize they’ve done something together. As far as I’m concerned, William also likes Karin. Here are the photos.”

Stanley throws a stack of photos to him and walks away with his smug face.

The photos are snapped from all the angles. Two naked bodies are intertwined in the bed. Closing his eyes bitterly, he crumples the photos into a ball and throws them in the trash bin.

Then he set fire to them as he angrily clenches his fists.

When Robert enters Troy’s office and finds the fire, he gets worried. But he figures it out when he sees the photos in the trash bin. He understands how awful a man can feel when it comes to things like this.

Troy gets home late tonight. Karin has been waiting for him the whole evening. Troy sighs as he finds her in front of the door. He walks up to her.

“Why not go to bed early?”

“I’ve promised you I’d wait for you.”

“I’ve got a business dinner. Next time I’ll call you so that you don’t have to wait for me for too long.”

“Okay.”

Following Troy, Karin walks into the house. She feels a bit sad as they used to walks into the house hand in hand.

Troy goes right to his study, and Karin says to him, “It’s too late to work.”

“Well. You can go to bed.”

How can Karin fall asleep if Troy is still at work? She has to talk to him. Then she goes to the study and knocks the door. Here comes a deep voice, “Come in.”

After walking into the study, Karin sits in a chair. “How soon will you finish your work?”

“What’s the matter?”

Troy levels her with an unassuming look.

“I want to talk about the hotel stuff with you. It seems that we haven’t talked about it seriously.”

“Okay.” Troy put aside the files.

“I know you need more time to accept it and get over it. So let’s delay the wedding again. And…you can also figure it out if you want to marry me or not…”

Then she holds her breath to wait for his reply.

After a moment of silence, Troy shakes his head. “No. I only remember that I love you. That’s all.”

“But can you forget it?”

“Time can tell you the answer, babe. As what you’ve said, we’ll forget all the hardships once we come through.”

Karin weeps and holds Troy’s hand. “Thank you, Troie. Thank you for not abandoning me.”

“Okay. Now go to bed. I have to finish my work first.”

Troy is calm as usual. Karin leaves the study after kissing him.

When she returns to the bedroom, she finds she’s got several missed calls from Robert. She hastily calls him back as she thinks that something has happened to Billie.

Robert picks up the phone and asks anxiously, “Are you okay with Troy?”

Karin gets confused. “What’s the matter?”

“Where’s Troy?”

“He’s in the study. What’s wrong with you?”

“Is he abnormal tonight? Like ignoring you, being angry or indulging himself in wine?”

“No. Why do you ask this?”

Robert sighs and says, “He has saw those photos.”

Karin’s heart stutters. “The photos of me and William?”

“Yes…”

The silence spills between her and Robert. Robert asks, “Hello? Are you there? Hello? Hello?”

Karin sadly hangs up and lies in the bed. Looking at the celling, she’s got a lot oh her mind. Why is he so calm after seeing the photos? How is it possible that he still wants to love her?

She can’t figure t out, and she goes to find Troy. Before stepping into his study, she tries hard to put away the sadness on her face, and walks into it with a gentle smile.

“Why don’t you go to bed?” Troy asks.

“I can’t fall asleep alone. Let’s have a small talk on the rooftop, okay?”

He shakes his head. “I’m afraid I can’t. I have to deal with my work first.”

Her eyes flicker. “Fine. I’ll go there alone.”

Her arm is grabbed by him when she is about to turn around. “It’s too late. Just go to bed, okay?”

She nods slowly. “Okay…”

When she leaves the study and closes the door, she looks at him through the crack of the door, only to find him sitting in the chair with closed eyes. His exhaustion hurts her heart.

To save his company, Stanley asks for a divorce with Milan. But Milan’s reaction is beyond his imagination. She questions him in tears, “How could you do this to me? All those years I’ve been putting up with your absurd behaviors. Now you tell me you want to get divorced with me?”

Stanley tells the truth, “Your dear brother forces me to do this. If I we don’t get divorced. My company will be over.”

“You mean Troy? It’s alright. I can ask him to stop ruining your business. Never will I allow him to destroy my marriage.”

She is about to rush to find Troy when stopped by Stanley. “Save it! He has made up his mind to ruin our marriage. Plus, you know I don’t love you at all, so let’s get divorced.”

“Even if you don’t love me, in no way will I divorce you.”
