Ditch Him and Start Again Chapter 2
When I woke up, it was already dark outside. We previously planned on having a barbecue tonight. I went to the barbecue area out in the garden to find that my colleagues were already eating. The only spot left at the table was beside Zachary, so I had no choice but to sit there.As soon as I took my seat, Zachary questioned, "Where's your wedding ring?""I threw it away."Zachary slammed his cutlery down and roared, "That's enough! When did you become so unreasonable anyway? You're giving me attitude when all I did was spend the day with Anna! "Her health is frail, so what's the big deal if I help her out a bit more? Why are you so vicious? Don't you have even an ounce of sympathy in you?""Zachary's right," Isaac chimed in. "You should be a kinder person, Elaine. You even refused to get the medication for Anna's headache. She would've been in so much pain if I hadn't had the foresight to pack some just in case."Anna also pretended to be extremely hurt.

I dragged myself back to my room and took a shower before falling asleep right away. In the middle of the night, I woke up to find myself running a fever. I had to muster up the strength to call the front desk for help. After taking the fever medication that was delivered to me, I fell back into a hazy sleep.When I woke up once again, all of the company staff had checked out—no one came to tell me.I called my parents and asked them to send a car for me, but to my surprise, they came in person. I threw myself into their arms, finally feeling a sense of warmth."Mom, Dad, I'm joining Stellar Group. I've also decided to get a divorce. Please help me find a lawyer."Patting my back reassuringly, Mom replied, "Alright. You have our full support. It's no loss to you to leave a broke and penniless man! We can easily make his life a living hell.""I've already prepared an office for you," Dad declared. "Working for our family company is way better than working for someone else!"Afte

Once Anna finished speaking, she slapped me in the face over a dozen times. I did my best to struggle, but I couldn't escape from the clutches of two grown men.As Zachary stood on the side and watched, he even reminded me, "Hurry up and admit your mistakes, or else I won't take pity on you!"The moment he finished speaking, the office door was kicked open, and a group of people rushed in. Mom and Dad showed up with their bodyguards to save me. Freed from my captors, I leaned weakly in Mom's arms.The bodyguards grabbed Anna, Zachary, Sean, and Isaac before forcing them to their knees.Standing in front of the four of them, Dad roared, "Who's the one who injured my daughter's legs?"All of them remained silent, too frightened to speak.I pointed at Sean. He stuck his foot out to trip me!Dad signaled the bodyguards with a nod, and they immediately used the glass shards to injure the four of them as well.Mom helped me to my feet. I brought out the spare divorce agreement I ke

Once the new project was in full swing, I had to work late a lot. Through our constant interactions at work, Gary and I ended up becoming good friends. After learning what I went through before, he became righteously indignant on my behalf. He declared he was going to be my new right-hand man. Isaac and Sean showed up at Stellar Group numerous times in an attempt to apologize, and Gary chased them out each time. When he saw me eating takeout every day, he even started waking up earlier to prepare lunch for me.Thanks to him looking out for me, I slowly forgot about my unhappy past.Gary told me that work-life balance was important. When he offered to treat me to a good meal that day, I gladly agreed to it. After dinner, he said he wanted to go window shopping, so we strolled around the mall for a bit. When we entered a jewelry boutique, he instructed the staff to show us their bracelets and made me try them on for him to see.Each time I put one on, he would say, "You have suc

The next day, Zachary showed up again. As soon as I got off work, I saw a bed of rose petals at the entrance to the office building, along with candles arranged in the shape of a heart. Inside it was Zachary, kneeling on one knee with a bouquet of roses in hand.It reminded me of the day he proposed to me. It was on my 20th birthday, and we were in our second year of college. He decorated the beach to make it look like a garden because I told him I loved flowers.At the time, he used tiny flowers that made the beach look like it was dotted with stars. That was because I'd once told him I didn't like large, bold flowers. I didn't like roses either.The old him seared all of my likes and dislikes to memory, but the current him had long forgotten about everything."I'm here to apologize, Elaine. I was just too clueless in the past. Only now do I realize you've always been the one I love! "We've shared so many memories together, Elaine. You've become a part of me. There's no way I ca

In just a few short months, the project achieved such overwhelming success that the entire industry was floored. Thus, when Gary suggested having a celebration, I agreed. He picked a resort that was near a tourist spot with plenty of good food and fun attractions.We just set off on our trip when I got a call from my assistant, Lyle Upton. He sounded like he was on the verge of tears."Bad news, Ms. Sterling! We've been slandered, and the company shares have taken a nosedive! What should we do?"Lyle sent me a link. Upon opening it, I saw the criticisms and negative reviews the industry insiders leveled at Stellar Group. The projects they mentioned were indeed the ones the company worked on in the past, but none of them were problematic. These were all clearly fake information!Someone even posted my details online, saying I was a corporate spy and that any company that worked with me would end up having their confidential information leaked.All of a sudden, I started getting a

On the day of our new product's launch, I was so nervous that my palms were sweaty. Gary used a tissue to wipe them for me while saying, "Don't be anxious. We must have confidence in ourselves."With his help and support, I slowly calmed down and composed myself. He brought out the food he prepared and gave it to me. "I know you wouldn't have time to eat breakfast, so I made some food for you. Eat up. You'll do better on a full stomach!"I smiled. Ever since he joined me at the company, he had not only been a reliable right-hand man at work but also took great care of me on a personal level too."Thank you," I said as I gave his hand a squeeze.He blushed and walked off to get me some water.Once everything was ready, I went into the conference hall. Just as I was about to go up on stage to give my speech, the doors flew open, and a crowd of people burst in.Zachary, Isaac, and Sean marched in together. Anna was with them too, but she was all tied up.Immediately, the sound of

Anna crumpled to the floor in a pool of her own blood, and someone immediately called 911.Zachary howled like a madman. He made a genuine attempt on Anna's life, which proved he truly didn't love her. From a distance, he watched in indignance and despair as Gary shielded me behind him.Perhaps Zachary did realize he loved me the most, but his feelings no longer mattered to me.Soon, the police arrived, and the spectacle came to an end. While I was giving the police my statement, I could still hear Zachary's voice from time to time.Once I was done, I left the police station, feeling a weight lift off of my shoulders. I saw Gary standing at the entrance, waiting for me.The clouds seemed to clear, and I looked up at the blue sky.

Hand-in-hand with Anna Klein, Zachary Lowe approached me and snapped impatiently, "Give me the card to the honeymoon suite. I'm going to soak in the hot springs with Anna."Anna was clutching Zachary's arm affectionately as she gave me a taunting look. Those who didn't know our situation would've assumed that she was his wife, not me."Thanks, Elaine! Mr. Lowe and I will be sure to enjoy ourselves!"I got to my feet and handed Zachary the card. He snatched it from me and started walking off, but he ended up bumping into me.Losing my balance, I stumbled backward before bashing my waist against the table behind me. Even though I gasped in pain, he didn't even bother turning back to check on me.Isaac Hudson, the head of the sales department, eyed me and said, "Anna has been under a lot of stress because of this project, and we finally managed to close the deal. She has made a huge contribution to the company, so it's only right for Mr. Lowe to treat her well."It sounded as though
