Kate's POV I sat back in the chair, trying to gather my thoughts. Erlan's presence, the conversation with Darwis, and the confrontation with Kayra all replayed in my head. I have to stay strong and focused, both for myself and for my future with Erlan.Because living with people who love us is better than living with people we love but don't love us. When I tried to refocus on my work, my cell phone rang. Message from Erlan, "Is everything okay, Kate? You seemed a little disturbed earlier." I smiled faintly and typed a reply, "Yeah, just a little disturbance at the office. Thanks for asking. Can we talk tonight?" A quick reply came from Erlan, "Sure, I'll come to your apartment. Take care of yourself." Feeling relieved, I tried to focus back on work, knowing that Erlan was always there for me to provide the calm and support I needed. Today may be full of drama, but I know that I'm not alone in facing it. That afternoon, I went home with mixed feelings. My steps felt heavy w

Kate's POV After talks with Erlan, we developed a plan to deal with this situation. I tidied myself up and got ready to go to the office, but this time with stronger determination. Before leaving, Erlan gave me a comforting hug, making me feel more ready to face a challenging day. In the office, the atmosphere was tense from the moment I entered the room. My coworkers had heard about the rumors circulating, and they seemed worried. I immediately held an emergency meeting with the management team to discuss the steps to be taken. "Erlan has found evidence that Kayra is behind this rumor," I said firmly in front of the team. "We will take legal action against the reporter involved, and we will not allow this to damage our company's reputation." The management team nodded in agreement, and we began discussing strategies to resolve the situation. Company lawyers joined the meeting, providing advice on legal steps we could take. "The first step is to issue an official statement

Kayra's POV Ryan smiled faintly. “As for Kate, we will make sure that she takes the blame for all of this. We will make her look incompetent and corrupt, so that the board of directors and investors lose confidence in her.” I smiled with satisfaction. “This is perfect, Ryan. When do we start?" “We've started, Kayra. My people have started working at Branch Group, and bad news will soon appear in the media. In a few weeks, you will see the results,” he said confidently. I felt relieved and excited at the same time. This revenge will finally be realized. Kate won't know what hit her, and I will make sure that she feels the same agony she made me feel. With this plan in motion, I felt a little more at ease. I know this is only the beginning, but the first step has been taken. The time for revenge has come, and I won't stop until Kate is destroyed. Over the next few days, anxiety and fear haunted my mind. Ryan kept me updated on our plans, but each new development worrie

Darwis's POV I sat in my work chair, staring blankly at the files spread out on the table. The sounds of the office starting to become quiet could be heard faintly, but my mind was full of confusion and dilemmas that never subsided. All this time, I was sure that Kayra was my future. However, the unexpected presence of Kate, with all her success and power, has shaken the foundations of my beliefs. Remembering Kate who stood strong in front of reporters this morning, my heart was shaken. I didn't expect that the woman I once loved had become so strong and powerful. I took a deep breath, trying to push the image of Kate from my mind. "This isn't true," I muttered softly, "I'm with Kayra now." However, those words felt hollow and unconvincing even to me. Memories with Kate came flooding back to her. Her sweet smile, cheerful laugh, and the way she always supports me in every step I take. We once shared the same dreams and hopes, before everything was destroyed due
Divorce Agreement 38
Darwis's POV We chatted briefly, and without much thought, I asked her to dance. Our bodies moved to the beat of the music, getting closer and more intimate. Under the flashing lights, the world seemed to only consist of me and her. Time passed without me realizing, and before I knew it, we were in a quieter corner of the club. The woman looked at me with a seductive gaze, and in my half-drunk state, I felt swept away by her charm. "Darwis, let's go to a quieter place," she whispered in my ear. I almost agreed to her invitation, when suddenly the image of Kate and Kayra came back to haunt my mind. Feelings of guilt began to creep into my heart. I was silent, trying to gather the remains of my consciousness. "I... I can't," I muttered, even though the sound of the music almost drowned out my words. The woman looked disappointed, but I immediately left, leaving her and returning to John's table. My friends were still having fun, but I knew I had to go. "Where are you going
Divorce Agreement 39
Kate's POV Today, I have to travel out of town to attend an important meeting with a partner company. I had everything ready the night before, making sure my documents and presentation were ready. When I was checking my bag back in the apartment, suddenly my cell phone rang. Erlan. “Hello, Erlan. What is it?" I asked with a small smile. “Hi, Kate. I thought maybe we could go to this meeting together. I've prepared the car and am ready to pick you up," he said in a cheerful tone. I smiled wider. “That's a great idea. I'll be ready in five minutes.” Five minutes later, Erlan was in front of my apartment. He got out of the car and opened the door for me, as usual, attentive. “Thank you, Erlan. You're always considerate," I said as I got into the car. “For you, always,” he answered with a smile that made my heart feel warm. The journey to the meeting location was quite far, around two hours. In the car, we talked about various things, from work to light things that made us

Kate's POV He brought his face closer to me, his eyes radiating sincerity. “Kate, you are the light of my life. I want to always make you happy.” I felt tears of emotion start to well up in my eyes. “Erlan, you are also the light in my life. I don't know what I would do without you.” We looked at each other in silence, feeling deep love and happiness. Without any more words, Erlan brought his lips closer to mine, and we shared a kiss that was soft and full of love as if time had stopped for a moment. When we finally broke free, Erlan looked at me with a warm smile. “Kate, how about we make an appointment?” "What promise?" I asked curiously. “Promise to always support each other, no matter what happens. To always find happiness in simple moments like this.” I nodded firmly. “I promise, Erlan. I will always be there for you." He smiled and held my hand tighter. “And me too, Kate. Always." We sat there together, enjoying a romantic moment on the beach, feeling that this

Kate's POV After enjoying a beautiful evening at the beach, we decided to go home. Erlan opened the car door for me, and I got in feeling satisfied and happy. During the journey, we talked about many things, but eventually, fatigue began to get the better of me. "Tonight was truly amazing, Erlan," I said, leaning my head against the car seat. Erlan turned his head with a gentle smile. “I feel the same way, Kate. It's nice to spend time with you.” Not long after, I felt my eyes start to close. Erlan's soft voice and the vibration of the car driving down the road made me even more sleepy. “You can sleep for a while, Kate. I'll wake you up when we get there," he said in a soothing voice. I nodded slowly and let myself fall asleep. In my sleep, I felt calm and safe, as if all the world's troubles had disappeared. When I opened my eyes, we had arrived at my apartment. Erlan carefully turned off the car engine and gently touched my shoulder. "Kate, we're here." I woke up sl

Kate’s POV Erlan nodded, a wide smile still on his face. "Yes, Kate. I have prepared everything. We will get married in a week, at the place we talked about before. I just need one more thing..." He looked at me deeply, his loving eyes making me feel like the luckiest person in the world. "What is it?" I asked softly, almost whispering, while my heart was full of hope and happiness. Erlan reached out his hand, held mine gently, and then asked, "Will you marry me, Kate?" Tears began to well up in my eyes, but this time they were tears of unstoppable happiness. I had never felt love this great before, and I knew that Erlan was the right person for me. "Of course I do, Erlan," I answered in a voice full of emotion. "I want to marry you, and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you." Erlan smiled happily, and in an instant, he pulled me into his arms. I could feel his strong heartbeat, accompanying my own. We hugged each other tightly as if we didn't want to let go
Divorce Agreement 105
Kate's POV I stepped out of the office, the cool night air touching my skin as I walked to the car. The thought of having dinner with my father tonight made my steps feel heavier. Over the past few months, our relationship has begun to improve after the previous tension. My father, who was initially so against my relationship with Erlan, had slowly begun to soften. However, for some reason, something felt different. My father, who used to be stiff and rarely showed his emotions, was now more attentive. He often invited me to dinner, talking about little things that had never been a topic of conversation before. Although I was happy with this change, there was still a little worry that was bothering me. Was this a sign that he had finally accepted my relationship with Erlan? Or maybe there was something else he was hiding? I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself before finally deciding to leave. The restaurant my father had chosen was located near his house, so I decided to stop
Divorce Agreement 104
Kate’s POV I sat on my bed, letting the reality of this message sink in completely. All the loneliness, all the patience, it was all about to pay off. It felt like a dream come true, a dream I had been waiting for so long. In a rush of enthusiasm, I typed a reply quickly, trying to channel all the feelings that were pressing to come out. [I'm so happy to hear that, Erlan! I can't wait to see you. I miss you too, and I'll be waiting with great enthusiasm. See you in a week, honey.] After sending the message, I smiled widely. The thought of the coming week began to fill my mind—the thought of the two of us walking together, having a romantic dinner, and all the warm conversations I had missed. Just imagining it made me feel happy. I stared at the ceiling of my room while hugging my pillow tightly, imagining the moment when I could finally hug Erlan again, feeling his warmth and calmness that I had only been able to feel from afar. This happy feeling was like sunlight shining on my

Kate’s POV He was tall and dignified, wearing a formal suit that fit him well. From the way he approached me, I could feel the intensity behind his smile. "Kate," he called out in a familiar tone, even though I didn't know him. "I wanted to congratulate you on the success of your project. I've long admired your hard work." I nodded and smiled politely. "Thank you. It means a lot to me." "Not only is your hard work admirable, but also the way you deal with challenges," he continued. "I see you at events like this all the time, and you always seem so strong and independent. Do you always come alone?" The question sounded innocent, but there was something about the way he said it that made me feel a little uneasy. "Yeah, I usually come alone. But I'm not really alone," I answered cautiously. The man smiled wider, his eyes shining with obvious interest. "You know, Kate, I've been watching you for the past two years. And I've never seen you with anyone. I couldn't help but ask..
Divorce Agreement 102
Kate’s POV It’s been two years since that painful goodbye at the airport. Back then, I never imagined how my days would change. But here I am, standing at the grand opening party of a project I’ve worked so hard on. I can feel the admiring gazes of the guests, some of whom are warmly congratulating me, and others even offering to work with me on my next project. The long black dress I’m wearing tonight makes me feel elegant and dignified. I stand tall, looking around the room filled with entrepreneurs, investors, and colleagues who have all come to celebrate this success. But beneath the glitter and the praise, there’s a deep sense of relief. Not just because the project went perfectly, but because I’ve proven something to myself—that I can do it, that I can stand tall even when the world seems to be falling apart. I remember the long nights of hard work, the times when exhaustion almost overwhelmed me. But now, it all feels worth it. I’ve accomplished something greater than I e

Kate’s POV I nodded with a heavy heart, trying to hold back tears. “I believe in you, Erlan. I will wait and support you from here. Farewell, and may everything go well for you there.” As the time for the plane to depart grew closer, we stood there, hugging each other tightly. I felt a deep emptiness and sadness as I watched him prepare to leave. Every second felt like time was ticking away, and it felt like all the happiness that had ever existed was shrinking into deep sadness. “What about the two of us?” I asked, trying to distract myself from my sadness. “What are our plans after you leave?” Erlan smiled softly, though his eyes were filled with pain. “We will continue to communicate well. I will try to come home whenever I have the chance. We will continue to support and encourage each other. I am sure we will get through this.” We talked about our plans and tried to cheer each other up. We tried to keep our spirits up even though we were feeling so heavy. Erlan kept wiping a

Kate’s POVI stared at him with wide eyes, trying to absorb what he had just said. “But, this is a big offer, Erlan. Are you sure you want to take the job? Doesn’t that mean we have to have a long-distance relationship?”Erlan nodded, seemingly undeterred by the challenges that might come. “Yes, I am. I know this is not an easy decision, and there will definitely be many challenges. But I believe that if I accept this offer and prove myself abroad, it will give us great advantages in the future.”“Do you really want to do this?” I asked, my voice shaking slightly with emotion. “Are you ready to face all those challenges?”Erlan smiled softly, then took my hand. “Kate, I don’t just want to prove myself to your father. I also want to prove to myself that I can do something big and significant. And I want to do it while still loving you and fighting for our relationship.”I fell silent, trying to comprehend the big decision that Erlan had ju

Kate’s POV “You look really tired, Kate,” Erlan said as he opened the car door for me.“I am,” I admitted as I got into the car. “I had a lot on my mind today.”Erlan stared at me for a moment, as if considering his next words, then said, “I’m glad you said yes to my invitation. Let’s make tonight a little lighter, okay?”I nodded, grateful for his kindness.We arrived at a restaurant we had been to a few times before. The place was small, warm, and had a calming atmosphere. The waiter greeted us with a smile, and we were quickly seated at our favorite table in the corner.“How about I order for the two of us?” Erlan asked after seeing me staring blankly at the menu.“Go ahead,” I said with a weak smile. I knew he would order something I liked.After the waiter took our orders, Erlan looked at me intently. “How was your day, Kate? It seemed like something was bothering you.”I took a breath, feeling l

Kate's POV My phone vibrated on the table as I was enjoying a cup of coffee on a quiet morning. A message came in from Darwis. "Can we meet this afternoon? There's something important I want to talk about." I stared at the message with a slightly raised eyebrow. Why did Darwis suddenly want to meet? We had agreed to meet the day after tomorrow. But no suspicion crossed my mind. After all, our relationship was much better now—no drama, no pain that used to be between us. I took another sip of coffee and decided to reply briefly, "Sure." That afternoon, I arrived at the cafe we used to frequent. This place held many memories, but it didn't feel like it used to. Now, I come here more often with Erlan. The owner of the cafe recognized us and was used to our presence. I entered and saw Darwis already sitting at the table we used to occupy. When I approached, he turned and smiled. There was somethi
