Gabriel's gaze at Jane was calm and emotionless.

Jane's heart clenched, and in a burst of anger, she hurled the remote control at him.

"Gabriel, I told you, I won't agree to a divorce! Forget it!" she shouted, her voice rising.

Dodging the remote with ease, Gabriel smirked and spoke slowly, enunciating each word. "Jane, whether we get divorced or not was never up to you."

He had tolerated her behavior for the sake of their child in the past, but recently, she had become increasingly irritable and aggressive due to the company. He was no longer willing to pretend.

"You think you have the final say?" Jane sneered, her face twisted with fury. "Gabriel, you have no power or influence. Without my approval, you're dreaming if you think you can leave."

Gabriel raised an eyebrow and replied, "Don't worry. Within a week, you'll be the one agreeing to the divorce. And if you don't want Wilhelm, I'll take him with me."

With that, he turned and walked toward the door.

"Gabriel! Stop right there!" Jane shouted, her voice shrill. "If you walk out that door, I swear I'll make you regret it!"

Her threats fell on deaf ears. Gabriel didn't even pause as he left, leaving her seething and smashing anything she could get her hands on in the living room.

Upstairs, Wilhelm had been startled awake by the noise. He left his room to find the living room in disarray.

Frightened, he huddled in a corner, unwilling to approach.

His mother was terrifying now. He had never seen her like this before.

Jane caught sight of Wilhelm from the corner of her eye and snapped, "Wilhelm! Get over here!"

Shocked by her terrifying gaze, he instinctively backed away. "No... I don't want to."

"I said, get over here! Don't make me repeat myself!" Jane growled.

She stormed toward him, her steps heavy with frustration.

Wilhelm, looking scared, tried to run for his room.

Unfortunately, Jane grabbed the back of his shirt before he could get far.

Soon, though, she would see it. Everything he hadn't been able to give her back then, he would give her now.

Gabriel didn't return to the villa for the next few days.

On the third morning, his phone rang. It was Wilhelm.

"Daddy, when are you coming home? Mommy's been so scary... She hits me every day... I'm scared..." Wilhelm cried.

Gabriel frowned. He hadn't expected Jane to take her anger out on their child.

"Don't worry. Daddy's coming back right now," he reassured him.

When he arrived, he found Wilhelm cowering in the corner of the living room, his eyes filled with fear, while Janesat calmly on the couch

She smirked when she saw Gabriel. "If I hadn't made Wilhelm call you, were you planning to stay gone for good?" Gabriel's gaze was chilly. "Our divorce is between you and me. But taking it out on Wilhelm? That's low, even for you." Upon seeing Wilhelm's state, it was clear what had been happening these past few days.
