Her quiet behavior caught Alexander's attention. He began to notice the change in Ava's demeanor, sensing that something was off.

Alexander, who usually had no hesitation in expressing his feelings, now felt worried about Ava's state. He wanted to get closer but didn’t want to force himself, leaving him confused about how to act.

    "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

    "This is a joke, right?"Ava's voice trembled under the weight of disbelief. The cheap hotel room smelled of stale cigarettes and cleaning chemicals, the flickering neon sign outside casting an eerie red glow over the divorce papers in front of her.Her fingers tightened around the edge of the document. "Irreconcilable differences." That’s how he had reduced their years together—two cold, detached words that felt like daggers piercing her heart.Her phone buzzed on the nightstand. She glanced at the screen. No new messages. No apologies. No explanations. Nothing.“How did it come to this?” she whispered to the empty room, her voice echoing back at her, mocking her solitude.She had believed in him.She remembered their first tiny apartment—the peeling wallpaper, the broken heater, the way she used to wake up shivering in winter because the blankets were too thin. But none of it had mattered because they had love. Or at least, she had thought so.Ava had dreams, and she had believed in

    "Well, well, look who decided to show up."Ava barely had time to steady herself before that smug, insufferable voice slithered into her ears like a snake, evoking memories she desperately wanted to forget. She turned, her stomach twisting at the sight of Logan Prescott, her ex-husband, standing near the entrance of the conference room. His familiar arrogance radiated off him, and right beside him, looking effortlessly poised and pleased with herself, was Sophia Ellis—the woman he had left her for.Sophia’s red lips curled into a smirk. "I didn’t think you’d actually come. Must be hard, seeing all of this and knowing it’s no longer yours."Ava exhaled slowly, steadying her breathing. She had prepared herself for this meeting, knowing she would have to face Logan at some point, but she hadn’t expected him to bring her. How typical, she thought, to flaunt the new trophy right in front of her.Logan adjusted his tie, his eyes flicking over her like she was nothing more than an inconveni

    "This is insane."Ava paced back and forth, gripping the edges of the contract in her hands. The words blurred together, but the meaning was clear: a legally binding agreement. A marriage in name, but something far more complicated underneath. The weight of the decision pressed heavily on her shoulders, and the air crackled with tension.Alexander sat across from her, perfectly composed. His dark hair was neatly styled, and his tailored suit accentuated his lean frame. "It’s practical.""It’s absurd." She spun around, her heartbeat hammering against her ribs. "I don’t even know you."He didn’t blink, his expression betraying nothing. "You know enough."Ava exhaled sharply, frustration boiling within her. "Why me?""Because I need someone who understands how this world works. Someone who knows what it means to sacrifice. And you need a fresh start."Her laughter was short and bitter. "Oh, so this is charity?"Alexander’s expression didn’t change. "This is an opportunity."She stared at
