Detachment is the feeling that you have of not being personally involved in something or of having no emotional interest in it.

"I don't want nothing from him. I just want him to be a good father. However the business will remain under the both of us for Ivy. That's for her once we've lived our life." I stated as Shawn sat across from me along with his lawyer. He nodded in agreement with my statement

"I'll always be a good dad, Bey. I also want you to keep the main home in Los Angeles. I know much you loved it there." He said as the mediator wrote down what he said. Shrugging I took it as his bitch ass way of apologizing again.

"Is that it?" My lawyer said.

I stared into Shawn's eyes watching his every move realizing that this would be the last time I will be able to call this man my husband. Thank God.

"I just wanna say that Beyoncé Giselle Knowles, I apologize for being a failure of a husband and friend. I look at you know and i've realized that I've sucked the pure innocence from your eyes that I seen the first time I met you. I've betrayed you worse than anyone on this world when I vowed to never do much. I hope one day that you could forgive me for what I've not only done to you but your heart, body, this family, and Ivy. I've been an embarrassment and horrible example to our beautiful daughter. I would never want her to marry the guy you were married to. Beyoncé i'm sorry." Shawn poured out.

He slid the paper to him and signed off on each page and once he was finished, he slid it to me. Picking up my pen, I quickly signed under him and dated everything I needed to. I was taken back by his apology but my forgiveness was not given in this moment. God was working on me and that stage hasn't been on my mind.

"I hear you Corey and one day I will forgive you. However this isn't that day. Just be a good father to Ivy and never treat a woman like you did me. Thank you for your sperm." I bluntly said as I rose from my seat.

"Alright you should get the final from each of your lawyers soon. However, you two are technically and lawfully officially divorced. Thank you." The mediator said collecting all of our documents and placing it in his suitcase.

Flashing my smile I shook my lawyers hand and turned to Shawn. "You know how to reach me." I said before exiting the office. My feet couldn't move fast enough to get outside. Pushing the doors open, I was greeted with my friends and Family Megan, Robyn, Solange, Onika, and of course my heart Ivy.

Watching Ivy walk up to me, I grabbed her hand tightly. I've never felt so free In my life. Having the "separation" talk with my baby was the harder than anything. However, I thank the Lord for giving me such a smart and strong daughter. She took it so well and realized that a good mother has to come from a Happy woman. She was now my rock and I was hers. Ivy was young but never dumb and just like me.

"So mommy does this mean I get two Christmas'" Ivy asked granting a laugh from me and everyone around. I nodded and walked up to everyone

"I mean technically yeah you do. One with me and daddy." She smiled and I shook my head at her spoiled tendencies. Turning around I watched as Shawn left the office with his head down.

I knew he would hurt in the long run.

"Can I go with daddy," Ivy surprisingly asked.
