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 knoAva 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 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
With 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 was so hurried that she didn’t realize Alexander was trailing behind her. She jumped into her car and drove off on her own, and Alexander didn’t want to be left behind, moving quickly as well.Ava drove at high speed to reach the place she wanted to get to before Logan and Sophia left. She arrived at her destination in a short time and immediately entered the recreational area, searching for Logan and Sophia. Meanwhile, Alexander rushed to keep up with Ava, worried about losing her track. Ava moved quickly, and he followed suit to avoid being left behind.Ava began checking her phone, looking at the latest posts from both Sophia and Logan to confirm their last location. Finally, she found a clue to their whereabouts through a post on Sophia's account. Ava moved quickly and eventually reached the place. Her heart trembled at the sight of the two lovers who had betrayed her.Ava's eyes filled with tears as she witnessed the intimacy b
"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

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,
