Chapter: Chapter 4: Cut ties with her“Anna!” Liam called out, his voice carrying an unmistakable panic she had never heard before. He pulled her into a crushing hug that knocked the air out of her lungs. She stiffened at his touch, unable to react as his unique scent—a mix of woodsy cologne and pheromones—flooded her senses. Every cell in her body screamed, urging her to reciprocate his hug, but she summoned the little willpower left in her bones and pushed him away. She refused to fall for his charm again. “Well, well, well. Would you look at that,” Anna started, her voice laced with sarcasm, “it only took a divorce for you to come running into my arms. I would have done it sooner had I known it would yield such an amazing result.”“Anna, please don’t do this to us,” he pleaded, trembling in his voice, betraying his true emotions. “I do not want you to go. Let’s talk things through. Babe, we can make this work.”“No.” Anna crossed her arms on her chest, refusing to be swayed.Liam pressed his lips into a straight line

Chapter: Chapter 3: I have my limitsInside the opulent Parker mansion, Anna stood by her bedroom window, her gaze fixed on the manicured gardens outside. The flowers in full bloom swayed in the gentle breeze, so full of life, unaware of the turmoil in her heart. Her eyes traveled to her favorite spot in the garden: the fountain. The water still flowed as usual, and she could almost hear the gurgling of water as it meandered through the intricate man-made stream before rejoining the fountain spout to start the cycle again. On any other day, this never-ending cycle of water would amuse her, and the gurgle sounds would soothe her soul. But not today. That therapeutic sound flooded her heart with unimaginable sorrow. Her eyes watered, too, but unlike the fountain, her tears streamed down her face and formed a droplet on her chin before dropping on her chest. She tore her gaze out the window and drew the curtains, unable to bear looking at things that wouldn’t be part of her life anymore. She looked around the massive mast

Chapter: Chapter 2: Love is for the weakThe CEO’s office at Parker Enterprises gleamed with sophistication: glass walls, sleek furniture, and wide floor-to-ceiling windows that offered a panoramic view of the city. Liam Parker, the CEO of Parker Enterprises, sat at his table, his torso leaning casually into the leather swivel chair. The natural light streaming in from the window illuminated his office, adding a bit of life to the otherwise cold office. Today, Liam wore a rare captivating smile, paired with a dark, buttoned-up shirt, the sleeves casually rolled to the elbow. Despite his carefree appearance, he excluded poise and precision. He leaned forward to pick up a photo frame at the far end of his table, causing his black, slightly curly hair to frame his forehead, right above his bushy eyebrows. His tanned skin and polished demeanor added to his charm. He traced his fingertips along the beautiful image of his wife in the picture as his smile widened, exposing a neat row of pearly white teeth. He admired his wife’s i

Chapter: Chapter 1: It's over“He is not coming,” a disdainful voice sounded from the other end of the phone as Anna braced herself for more to come. “It seems your husband hasn’t had any time for you lately. There’s nothing about you scheduled in his planner, and he didn’t mention anything about meeting you today.”The phone slid out of Anna’s ear as the mechanical beep of the call ending echoed in the corner of the café, sounding unbearably grating in her ears. Her heart squeezed painfully as the weight of that call sank. Her husband, Liam Parker, stood her up again. She glanced at her barely touched coffee on the table and furrowed her brows. She should have known he had no time for her. This had already happened so many times that she’d lost count. Tears pooled in her eyes, and a hard lump formed in her throat as she tried to contain her emotions, albeit with little success. Eventually, a lone tear managed to escape her eye before she quickly wiped it away with the back of her hand and gently placed her phone
