I'm Sorry
Last Updated:
2025-04-06 15:45:13By the time everyone finished eating, night had fully settled in. After reluctantly bidding farewell to Cynthia and Lucien, Pearl and Gina got into Hogan's car together.
The moment Gina sat down—barely settling into her seat—she couldn't help but steal another glance through the window at Cynthia and Lucien standing outside. Her voice was filled with awe, as if she were still in a dream.
"I actually had dinner with my Lucien tonight… I still can't believe it! I even spoke to him. And—oh my god—I shook his hand!"
As she spoke, she slowly lifted her left hand, gazing at it with an expression of pure infatuation, as if Lucien's warmth still lingered on her skin.
"I don't think I can ever wash this hand again…"
Pearl, sitting beside her, rolled her eyes at Gina's near-delirious state and nudged her lightly.
"He's Cynthia's now, you know. Big C herself. You might wanna snap out of it."

Cynthia dragged her weary body home. The moment she opened the door, she was greeted by Georgia's anxious face. Her eyes were filled with worry—Lucien, in her mind, was nothing short of a devil who brought nothing but pain."Cynthia, are you okay?" Georgia asked, her voice laced with concern.Cynthia forced a small smile and replied softly, "I'm fine. Don't worry." She didn't want her sister burdened by her own troubles, so she chose to downplay the conflict with Lucien.Georgia gave Cynthia a once-over. Seeing that her expression was relatively calm, she finally relaxed a little. After a brief hesitation, she said, "Cynthia, I've thought it over. I've decided to move back home—and it's time I returned to school, too."Cynthia was taken aback for a moment but quickly nodded. She didn't try to stop her. Looking at Georgia now felt like looking at a younger version of herself. After everything that had happened, Georgia had learned to tell right from wrong—and that was its own kind of g

Cynthia hadn't brought anyone with her. She wandered alone through the vast, silent house, her footsteps echoing through the empty halls. When she entered one particular room, the decor immediately caught her attention—an array of furnishings in a distinct medieval style.Drawn in, Cynthia stepped further into the room, her eyes carefully taking in the aged, timeworn furniture. As she studied a carved cabinet, a shadow suddenly flickered at the doorway like a ghost.She turned instinctively and saw a familiar figure—it was Lucien. But she didn't linger on him. She cast him a fleeting glance, then calmly returned her gaze to the furniture, continuing her quiet exploration.Lucien, however, appeared at her side without warning. His brows were slightly furrowed, a glint of irritation flashing in his eyes. His voice was cold, laced with hostility."Still haven't figured out how to make a phone call?"The accusation sparked a flicker of annoyance in Cynthia. She picked up a vase, turning i

After saying goodbye to Anders, Cynthia stood still, hesitant to get into Lucien's car. Deep down, she still felt a trace of resistance to being alone with him.But before she could make up her mind, Simon had already walked over and respectfully opened the car door for her, his posture quietly urging her to get in. With a quiet sigh, she finally stepped inside.The car started slowly. Inside, neither of them spoke. Cynthia instinctively turned her head and looked back. She saw Anders still standing where they'd left him, waving enthusiastically. A warm feeling bloomed in her chest.Whether or not Anders genuinely wanted to be her friend, at least on the surface, he had treated her with care. He had welcomed her warmly, introduced her to his people—providing her with a solid support system.Lucien glanced sideways at her, lips pressed into a thin line. His tone was cool as he spoke."You seem to like him quite a lot."Cynthia turned to look at him, responding calmly, "We're friends. H

The next day, the sky was overcast, the heavy clouds threatening to spill rain at any moment.The moving company Cynthia had booked arrived right on time. The workers moved efficiently through the apartment, carrying furniture and boxes. Cynthia stood to the side, calmly giving instructions, her eyes sharp and composed.She hadn't really expected Lucien to show up. But when that familiar figure appeared at the doorway, she couldn't help the flicker of surprise in her eyes or the small jolt in her heart.Lucien walked in, dressed in a dark, fitted shirt with the sleeves casually rolled up to his elbows, revealing strong, toned forearms. His gaze swept over the room, assessing the situation, then he made his way toward Cynthia. Their eyes met briefly—neither said a word.Without so much as a comment, Lucien joined in, helping without hesitation.He moved with effortless precision, reaching for items stored up high and handling heavy objects as if they weighed nothing.

What the hell?! Again?! Cynthia cursed inwardly, trying to stay calm. She attempted to break free from Lucien's grip and whispered, "I'm really tired right now."Unbidden, an image surfaced in her mind—maybe other women had once stayed in this place. The thought instantly extinguished whatever spark of passion she had left.To her surprise, Lucien actually let her go this time. Cynthia breathed a sigh of relief and turned to walk away. But just as she took two steps, she felt an arm wrap tightly around her waist—her feet left the ground as she was suddenly lifted."Ah!" she cried out, startled. Before she could even react, Lucien had thrown her onto the bed.The world spun. Cynthia barely had time to process what had just happened before Lucien was on top of her. His eyes bore into hers as he spoke in a low, firm voice, "Did you forget what I said earlier?"Of course she remembered. Panic rose in her chest. "But I really am exhausted..." she tried to explain.Before she could finish,

Cynthia's heart skipped a beat. A sinking feeling swept over her like a wave. She looked up—and there it was. In Lucien's hand, the one thing she had hoped to keep hidden: the framed family photo of her, Harley, and Gerald. The three of them smiling brightly, radiating happiness. But now, that picture felt like a ticking time bomb.Before she could think, she snatched the photo frame back from Lucien's hand, almost on reflex."This your son and your husband?" Lucien asked, his voice low.He had only glimpsed the photo, but that was enough to shatter whatever softness lingered inside him. The man in the picture was tall, handsome, exuding calm and reliability. In his arms was a boy, beaming with innocent joy. Cynthia stood beside them, her arm gently resting on the man's shoulder, her expression gentle and serene—an image of warmth Lucien had never seen on her face before.That smile—so full of affection—was like a cold slap to the face. It yanked him out of the illusion of intimacy th

Cynthia's mornings now came with a new assignment: driving Lucien to work. But on the very first day, things nearly went sideways—they almost rear-ended the car in front.When she finally pulled up in front of the BW Building with a less-than-stellar parking job, Lucien calmly adjusted his cufflinks."Compared to that man," he said suddenly, his voice soft as a feather, "I treat you much better."Cynthia froze, her hands still on the steering wheel."Aren't you leaving?" Lucien opened the door and added, "Don't loiter here showing off that you're my woman."Only then did she notice the crowd of employees sneaking glances their way. Flustered, she slammed her foot on the gas. Two blocks later, she hit the brakes hard—wait a minute. Who was showing off?The realization struck her belatedly. Yesterday, she'd mentioned that Gerald had been too scared to get in a car she was driving. And today, this man was proving with actions that he was braver. That childish need to win...Her grip tigh

Inside the hospital room, Thomas leaned against the headboard, his sharp gaze slicing through Cynthia and Lucien like a blade."Lucien, get out," Thomas said, his tone leaving no room for argument.Lucien remained motionless until Cynthia softly said, "Let me talk to Grandpa alone." She met his eyes. "I know what I'm doing.""I'll be right outside," Lucien replied, turning to Thomas. "The doctor said you need rest." With that, he finally left.As the door shut, a vein throbbed visibly on Thomas's forehead. That boy was afraid he'd be too hard on the woman!"You're very capable," Thomas sneered. "You've got my most prized grandson wrapped around your finger. Six years ago, he rejected every heiress to marry you—a woman who wasn't even worthy of him. And what happened? You made him a laughingstock!"Every word was like a knife slicing through old wounds. Cynthia's fingers trembled slightly—she had never realized how much Lucien had endured back then."And now that he's finally rebuilt h
A One-Night Stand With Her Ex-Husband Visiting Grandpa
Early the next morning, Cynthia woke to find Lucien already gone. He must have gone to the hospital to visit his grandfather.Although yesterday's confrontation had been satisfying, it had only intensified the conflict between Lucien and the Brown family. She didn't believe for a second that Lucien would give up his position as CEO of BW Group just to get back together with her, nor did she want to see Edric and Mandy gain anything from it.Did they really think that a few harsh words could just wipe the slate clean? What about all the humiliation, the pain, and the soul-crushing despair he had once inflicted on her? Was she supposed to just forget all of that?No. She would make him pay—twice over—for everything she had suffered. He would taste it all, and more.She went straight to the hospital. Just outside Thomas's room, she ran into Mandy, who was holding a bouquet of flowers."What are you doing here?" Mandy's face darkened."Visiting Grandpa," Cynthia replied with a smile. "Is

Jay quickly tried to smooth things over."Lucien, apologize. Now!"Leo jumped in to help."The company can't run without Lucien, Dad. Please, calm down...""The company will collapse without him?" Thomas slammed the table."Are you saying there's no one else?! Are the rest of you useless?!"Jay and Leo both fell silent, inwardly cursing Thomas's favoritism. If Mandy really took over, what future would they have?Cynthia stood by coldly, waiting for Lucien's decision. His grip on her wrist was so tight it hurt—but then she heard him speak, calm and steady:"I only brought her here to let everyone know—I'm remarrying her. As for the CEO position... it's just a title." He gave a faint smile."There's no shortage of talent in the world. Grandpa can replace me anytime."With that, he turned and walked out, dragging Cynthia behind him—leaving behind a room full of stunned faces.Cynthia stumbled to keep up, her heart swirling with complicated emotions. Did this man truly just give up his fa

Cynthia's red lips had barely left his when the air in the grand hall froze solid. Stacey's face turned a deep shade of fury, her nails digging into her palms as though she were about to leap forward and tear Cynthia apart.Just then, Marcus appeared at the perfect moment, bowing respectfully."Young Master, Sir requests you and the lady in the study."Thomas's long-time assistant looked utterly composed, as if Cynthia had never left—still one of the rightful mistresses of the house.Lucien took Cynthia by the wrist and led her through the crowd. At the center of the ballroom, Mandy stared at their retreating figures with such intensity that her dance steps fell out of rhythm."That bitch's got you this distracted?" she hissed, her nails digging sharply into Edric's shoulder. "Don't forget who helped you get where you are."Edric tightened his grip on her waist, pulling her in during the spin. His voice was low against her ear."This arrangement was your idea. As for the BW position…"

The lights in the room suddenly went out. A spotlight cut through the darkness, illuminating the spiral staircase.A red carpet lined the stairs, and fresh flowers were wrapped around the banisters. Mandy descended slowly, wearing a dazzling red mini dress, a glittering crystal crown atop her head, and sky-high red heels that clicked delicately with every step.Edric stepped forward and offered his hand to guide her down. She flashed him a flirtatious smile. Edric gently held her hand."My princess, happy birthday," he whispered, before planting a soft kiss on her cheek.They looked like a prince and princess straight out of a fairytale. The scene was picture-perfect, and the applause thundered through the room.Cynthia watched the whole display. Watched the man who had been part of her entire youth now smiling so happily while holding another woman's hand, walking toward Thomas. Even though she had long considered Edric nothing more than trash, she couldn't stop the rush of emotions.

"Well, well, look who we have here…"A middle-aged man's voice cut through the noise.Cynthia turned and saw two men who closely resembled Lucien—his uncles, Jay and Leo. With a composed smile, she greeted them politely, "It's been a while."Jay and Leo both flashed knowing, meaningful smiles when they noticed Cynthia standing beside Lucien.Unlike Janet, who would start screaming the moment she saw Cynthia, these two were all charm and civility, as if greeting an old friend after many years. Jay spoke first, voice layered with implication:"Cynthia. What a surprise, seeing you here."Unfazed, Cynthia casually tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, glanced at Lucien, and replied,"I'm just as surprised to be back here seeing you all again. Life's full of surprises, wouldn't you agree?"Jay paused, then let out a hearty laugh."Well said, Cynthia. You're right—life is full of surprises!"Leo cut in, "Lucien, are you two… getting back together? You never mentioned it."Jay quickly jump

In the parking lot, Janet finally broke down, sobbing uncontrollably."He actually threatened to send me to Black Island—for her!"She stomped her feet hysterically. "I'm telling Grandpa! He'll kick her out for sure!"Selena clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug into her palms. Lucien's words still echoed in her mind, stabbing like knives. All her hatred found a new target—Cynthia. It was all that bitch's fault."She's your brother's ex-wife?" Selena asked, barely keeping her fury in check."That's her!" Janet gritted her teeth. "She cheated on him back then—everyone knew! And now she dares come back?"A flicker of malice flashed in Selena's eyes, though her face remained composed with concern."Lucien is completely under her spell. Bringing her here tonight… he must be serious about getting back together."Janet's face turned pale. Lucien held the reins of power in the family now. If he insisted..."No way! I won't allow it!" Janet grabbed Selena's hand. "You have to help
A One-Night Stand With Her Ex-Husband The Game Begins
Lucien chose May 16th—Mandy's birthday—to bring her home. It was no coincidence.Birthdays in their family were never just celebrations. Grandfather Thomas held the reins of the family empire, and every birthday marked a subtle yet significant power reshuffle.Real estate, land, business ownership—anything could change hands on a whim. Behind the facade of cheerful gatherings, blades were drawn in the shadows.Among all the heirs, Mandy—daughter of Thomas's deceased eldest daughter—was the most beloved. Her birthday was always the grandest, the rewards most extravagant: private jets, luxury cars, dazzling jewels—far beyond what others could hope for.By comparison, when Cynthia and Lucien got married, all they received was a pair of matching watches, which were later reclaimed after their divorce.Lucien bringing her back on this particular day was anything but thoughtless.The phone rang. Lucien's voice was curt and cool. "I'm downstairs.""I'm coming."Hanging up, Cynthia looked at
