Foring Bill's desperate pleas, my mother set down her yarn and crochet hook. Slowly, she stood and retrieved the large glass jar from the table.

"Darling, what are you doing?" Bill asked, his voice tinged with confusion.

My mother looked at him, her voice calm, almost detached. "Every time you disappointed me in the past, I would put a coin in this jar. I told myself that if this jar ever filled up, I would leave you"

She opened the lid and said. "Now, there's only one con left before the jar is full. Bill, can you promise me that in the years to come, you won't disappoint me again?"

Bill seemed not to hear her words, his eyes glued to the coins in the jar.

He knew he had wronged Philippa, but he didn't realize how deeply the accumulated disappointments had hurt her.

A flickering flame might cause brief pain, but when that flame turns into a raging fire, Philippa had already been burned, scarred, and shattered.

Bill wanted to assure her that he wouldn't let her down again, but such a promise would seem unrealistic, even to a child.

"Bill" my mother continued, her voice softening, "I appreciate your efforts to help my family. It's proof that you want to make up for what you've done. But the hurt between us, whether from missed opportunities or misunderstandings, has become too deep to erase. I once thought of letting everything go and being a good wife to you, but on that day itself, I learned Monica was pregnant. After that, your actions-whether they were meant to provoke or control me-made the hurt feel like a constant. It became a habit, and you thought it was normal."

"But Zoey, my Zoey... She was only 20," she said, her voice breaking. "After years of emotional distress, she chose to end her life. Bill, this shouldn't have happened.

She wasn't referring to me, but to the real Zoey, who had passed away.

Tears streamed down her face as she spoke. "Bill, let's stop torturing each other. No matter how much you try to make amends, I'll never love you again." Zoey would never forgive Bill for her death.

"Please, don't cry, Bill pleaded, desperation in his voice. "There has to be a way. Just give me one more chance, and I'lI...

Philippa rarely cried in front of him. When she did, it was usually after he left.

In his presence, she'd long ago learned to keep her emotions tightly controlled.

Bill was frantic now, wanting to hold her hand, beg for forgiveness, but there was nothing but silence and. despair in her eyes.

Rather than dropping that last coin to fill the jar, Bill, can't you just do this one thing for me? Let me go, for my sake-and for your own."

Bill stared at the full jar of coins, his eyes reddening 1 voice was hoarse. "You really want to divorce me?"

"Yes," she replied without hesitation. "If it's for the children, we can discuss that later. But if you refuse to sign the papers, I'll have no choice but to file for divorce and expose everything about you and Monica online," "Philippa, you're not this cruel," Bill protested, his voice breaking.

"I wasn't before," she said, her tone cold. "But now, I have nothing left to lose. Bill, let's get divorced."

"Is it for Nicholas? His face twisted with disbelief. "You want to divorce me just to be with him?"

"No," she said firmly. Tm doing this for myself. For the sake of the child inside me, I can't let the past repeat itself.

"What if I don't agree?". Bill's voice dropped.

"Then I'll provide all the evidence of you supporting your mistress and get the court to grant the divorce," she answered flatly.

Bill stared at her, seeing the unshakable determination in her eyes. She was no longer the timid, indecisive woman he once knew.

He didn't want to let her go-not at all.

But the sight of that jar full of coins stung his eyes.

For years, he had tried to control her, his possessiveness like chains, binding her to the marriage.

But he had forgotten that you can't lock a heart away.

"If we divorce, I won't interfere with your family anymore," Bill said, hoping she would soften. Maybe for the sake of the family she had once cared about, she would show him some mercy.

But Philippa's expression remained cold. "The Wilchers gave me life, but I've already repaid their kindness in full. What happens to them from now on-whether they live or die-has nothing to do with me." "You really are heartless," Bill muttered, stunned by her resolve.

She was prepared for this divorce, no longer swayed by his pleas.

Bill realized he couldn't stop her.

Even though he could use forceful methods, now she had Carter behind her. In the end, it would only lead to more trouble, and she would still get the divorce.

By then, she would only hate him even more.

Philippa's exterior was resolute, but inside, she was anxious. She didn't have the strength to believe Bill would actually agree.

Then, in the next moment, she was suddenly pulled into a tight embrace.

I was startled, thinking Bill might have decided to do something harmful to Mom. But to my surprise, he

simply held her tightly and sighed in resignation.

Philippa," he whispered, his voice breaking. "This time you've won

My mother trembled in disbelief, her lips parting as she whispered, "You agreed?"

"I don't want to disappoint you. If a divorce is what you want, I'll give it to you," Bill replied.

With that, I saw the man, once so domineering, shed tears that fell onto Mom's neck.

"Darling, let's get divorced," he said quietly, finally accepting the end.
