The moment Ava saw the word "DIVORCE" printed in bold letters, her stomach twisted into a painful knot. For a second, her brain refused to process it. "You... you're joking," she managed to say, her voice barely above a whisper, her throat dry like sandpaper. "I'm not."
Lihat lebih banyakWith a burning curiosity, Ava knew she needed to dig deeper. She wanted to understand the root of Alexander's disappointment and why this all felt so urgent. This moment was not just about the two of them but also about uncovering the truth that had long been buried.Ava tried to express her feelings, even though fear still enveloped her. She knew that only by talking could they untangle the mess obstructing their relationship. And with that, a small hope of understanding each other began to grow within her.Ava felt perplexed by the situation she faced. "But why are you disappointed? I truly don’t understand you, Alexander," she said innocently, reflecting her confusion.Alexander, on the other hand, appeared frustrated. He exhaled loudly, opening his clenched fists in irritation. His facial expression showed how difficult it was for him to express all his feelings. They were both trapped in increasing tension, with
Ava felt anxious, suspecting that Alexander had discovered all the secrets she had kept, including the lies she had repeatedly told. Now, in this difficult situation, she felt trapped and confused.With no direction in front of Alexander, Ava experienced a deep sense of helplessness. She worried about what would happen if Alexander truly expressed his emotions. Although this was the first time she faced such a situation, the uncertainty of how Alexander would react made her even more anxious.Ava realized she had to prepare for the consequences of her actions. Fear and confusion loomed over her thoughts, making it hard to think clearly. Each heartbeat felt like an alarm reminding her of the urgency of the situation."Answer me, Ava! I just want your little mouth to speak the truth," Alexander's voice echoed, his high tone adding tension to the room. Ava felt as if she were caught between the desire to speak and the fear of wha
Ava sighed, feeling mixed emotions. "So, is this all in vain?" she asked, trying to hold back her disappointment. "Is there any other information you can gather?" "There are still a few details to follow up on, but for now, that's all I can report," he replied, his tone remaining calm even as Ava felt increasingly anxious. "What do you mean? Is there someone else involved?" Ava asked, surprised. "Yes, I think so, because if it were just someone being nosy, he wouldn’t be operating so systematically and organized. He seems like part of an organized syndicate, possibly more than that," her subordinate said, sounding anxious and hesitant. "Wait! What do you mean? I don’t understand, I have no idea what you're implying. What does 'more than that' mean? Please explain it to me!" Ava asked, her curiosity piqued. "Well, ma'am, I find it very difficult to confront him.
Ava suspected that the mysterious person was a subordinate of Logan or Sophia. This suspicion stemmed from the belief that they felt there were unresolved matters involving her. She instructed her subordinate to find the mysterious person who had fled the previous day, as well as to spy on the movements of her ex-husband and his fiancée. Her goal was to carry out a mission of revenge and dig deeper into their hidden relationship behind Ava’s back. She believed there must be a reason that Logan and Sophia had reached such a serious stage in their connection.Ava felt that the decision to command her subordinate was a crucial step. Her curiosity about the secret relationship between Logan and Sophia only strengthened her resolve. She knew that to carry out her mission, she needed sufficient information to uncover all the hidden secrets.“Find that mysterious person!” she ordered firmly. “I want to know who he is and what he kno
Ava felt compelled to do so, hoping that it would prompt Alexander to talk to her again. But Alexander didn't answer her question at all. This didn’t discourage Ava, she asked him again, trying to think positively that perhaps he hadn’t heard her or was preoccupied with something else. Ava rephrased her question in a different way. "Do you have a meeting with your business partner today?" she asked, raising her voice slightly so that Alexander could hear her clearly."Yes, of course, why?"Alexander replied, turning the question back on her.This made it difficult for Ava to respond to his question. After Alexander finished getting dressed and preparing to leave, he quickly said goodbye to Ava without much ado. It felt like a cold wind had just passed by her face.Ava's heart sank when Alexander answered her question in a flat tone. She had hoped for a warmer interaction, but it seemed that Alexander was still trapped
Ava and her subordinate felt the rising tension after the appearance of the mysterious figure. The atmosphere around them became oppressive, with their minds racing about who that person was and what their intentions might be.They tried not to panic, but the uncertainty made their steps feel hindered."We need to stay calm," Ava whispered, trying to reassure herself and her subordinate. "We don't know who he is or what he wants."However, the curiosity was hard to ignore. They both tried to remember everything they had discussed earlier, worried that any information might have accidentally been revealed. Ava realized that the mysterious person might not be an outsider with interests against her but could be someone with their own agenda."Should we find out more about him?" her subordinate asked, his face showing concern.Ava nodded."We need to be more careful, but we can't let fear control us.""Alright then
Ava stood in place, her heart pounding. Every second that passed felt like an eternity. She hoped that the person who was peeking would be caught by her messenger. In her mind, she imagined various bad possibilities. She suspected that the person behind the hiding place was quite a dangerous figure—perhaps a traitor or a spy who could ruin the big plan she had prepared.Worry continued to gnaw at Ava's mind. If that person managed to escape, everything she had built could collapse in an instant. The plan that had been carefully prepared could be threatened, and every step she took might be hindered by an unseen threat.Ava bit her lip, trying to calm herself down. She knew that panicking would not help her. Patiently, she waited, hoping for good news from her messenger.Ava felt anxious as she awaited the return of her messenger. Every second felt more tense, and her mind began to guess the possibilities of what could happen out there. She imagined a fight
This morning, Ava woke up early and chose to leave Alexander alone. She saw that Alexander was still fast asleep, unaware of her departure. With hasty steps, Ava stepped out of the penthouse, her heart pounding.She felt safe now because Alexander was still asleep inside. Memories of meeting the mysterious figure came back to haunt her, but this time she felt more prepared to face whatever would happen. The decision to go out alone gave Ava a little sense of freedom, even though there was a sense of anxiety that enveloped her.She quickly walked along the deserted streets, trying to drive away negative thoughts and focus on her goal. Ava knew that this step was risky, but she felt that she needed to protect Alexander, even if it meant staying away from him for a while.Finally, Ava arrived at the place she had promised the mysterious person. The atmosphere around her felt tense, but she tried to stay calm. As soon as they met,
Ava tried to find the right words, but her voice trailed off. She didn't want to make things worse, but she also didn't want to lose the connection she had.Alexander didn't respond, still lost in his own thoughts. He felt isolated, and even though he wanted to understand Ava, the pain of uncertainty made it difficult for him to open up.Ava took a deep breath, realizing she had to do something."I just want you to know that I appreciate your concern," she said softly, hoping to touch his heart. "I didn't mean to push you away."But Alexander remained silent, and Ava felt the distance between them widen. The desire to get closer and share grew stronger, but the fear of rejection made her hesitate.Ava felt dependent on Alexander's attention and support. Instantly, her heart filled with sadness and anxiety. She didn't know where to start to make Alexander feel valued. Every second that passed made her feel even more alone.
"Is this how you thank me?"Ava slammed the thick file onto the glass table, her fingers trembling from exhaustion and disbelief. The digital clock on the wall read 2:37 AM, its dull blue light illuminating the dimly lit room. Her back ached, her eyes burned, but she had pushed through—because she thought she was doing this for them. For their marriage.But the moment she looked at the man standing across from her, she knew.Logan wasn’t grateful. He wasn’t relieved. He wasn’t even looking at the damn contract she had spent the last three weeks perfecting for him.Instead, his gaze was cold. Indifferent. Like she was nothing more than an inconvenience.He exhaled slowly, then slid a white envelope across the table. "You should sit down for this," he said, his voice too calm for what he was about to do.She didn’t sit.Her fingers hesitated before picking up the envelope. The weight of it felt wrong.Then she pulled out the papers.The moment Ava saw the word "DIVORCE" printed in bold ...
