[BL] Dear Hushand, I want divorce

"Do you love...me?" My eyes stung as I asked my so-called husband. "No," he said quietly. "I don't love you. I don't need to love you. I just need to take care of you as I promised your father before he died." My world crumbled down on me. His words hit me like a physical blow. I staggered back, the world spinning around me. "S-So that's it? This whole time, you've been with me out of some sense of duty?" Elijah looked away, unable to meet my gaze. "Your father asked me to look after you, to make sure you were happy and safe. That's what I've been trying to do." "Fine then. Let's get a divorce!" I announced, loud and clear. ___ Ash always believed he could make his cold and vicious hubby fall in love with him. However, after three years of marriage, Ash received only betrayal from Elijah. Elijah never loved him and was only with Ash because he promised Ash's father that he would take care of him after his death. Ash, heartbroken and sorrowful, decided to quit his marriage. However, when he handed Elijah the divorce papers, he ripped them pieces and pushed Ash against the wall. "You have lost your mind if you think I will ever divorce you." Elijah glared, but Ash was unaffected by his rage. However, once Ash had left him for good, Elijah realised how deeply he loved him, and not just because of his responsibility to Ash. So he resolved to go after Ash and bring him back. Amidst this, he came to know that Ash was the one who caused the accident four years ago in which Elijah lost both of his parents. He had investigated this case for years but now that he found out it was Ash, he was devastated. "Come back before I lose my mind and do something you will regret." But can an emotionless and frigid man who has never learned to express affection or feelings approach the love of his life while he conflicted between taking his revenge and loving Ash?

Where is he?

Elijah's pov ;

I drove around the block and parked a few streets down.

The pain of the loss of my parents still throbbed in my chest. They were killed 7 years ago, and it was the worst thing I'd ever experienced.

I was there.

I saw their car crash into that expensive car, their lifeless bodies mangled beyond recognition. It was the most horrific sight I'd ever seen.

Ever since that day, I've been living in a fog, a haze, a cloud. I feel like I'm constantly swimming underwater, the world around me muted and distorted. I can't seem to break the surface.

It's not a feeling I want to revisit.

So, I've done my best to move on, to put the past behind me, but the wound is still fresh, the pain still raw.

It was a terrible tragedy, one that's haunted me every day since. I've tried to make peace with it, to accept it, but the truth is, I couldn't.
