It’s been five months since you’ve divorced your husband, because he prioritized work over his family. You both had a sixteen-year-old daughter, Nora, a daddy’s girl, who’s ready to do anything to meet her father despite his busy schedule. Today was no different, your daughter started her normal tantrum and stormed off to her father's house, blaming you for the divorce. You’re now sitting across from your ex-husband as you wait for an agreement. His glasses were on as he talked with his lawyer who sat beside him, your daughter was nowhere in the room.

“Where is Nora?” You asked out of curiosity, but also because you were extremely worried. Your ex-husband, Conrad Anderson, a successful businessman who prioritized work over family, the only expression he used frequently was seriousness. He stares at you before speaking, “She’s at my house, do not worry. However, she has changed her mind about custody, she’d like to stay with me.” Out of nowhere, you left out a snort. “I disagree. She’s still young to make her own decision, plus, I doubt you’d be actively involved in her life considering you are married to your work.” Conrad rubbed the side of his chin, asked his lawyer to excuse both of you. Once the lawyer left, Conrad took off his glasses, his gaze turned intense. “Are you doing this out of hostility, or can we speak about our child with maturity? She did not take the divorce well.” This man, seriously, you thought.
