It's considered public knowledge that the CEO of Nextronics, Spencer Ford, is totally and utterly smitten with his wife, Nikita Young. Case in point: the very first digital voice assistant that Nextronics launched was called Nikki. Nextronic's newest launch, a smartphone that would revolutionize the tech industry, was to be named the Niko Ultra. Spencer seemed born to be a perfect husband—loving, devoted, and affectionate towards her. That was until she caught him in bed with his assistant. Nikita snapped out of the haze and realized a startling truth—promises could be broken, no matter how sincere the person who made them appeared. "I want to terminate this pregnancy. I don't want to bring this child into the world." "Give me ten days, and I will leave him."
View MoreNikita and Fabian finally got married three years later. Fabian's company underwent steady growth, expanding its headquarters to many countries around the globe. Nikita was placed in charge of the foreign branches. The two of them were known as the golden couple. On Nikita's birthday, Fabian gave her an unforgettable gift—10 percent of his company's shares, but that was not the only surprise he planned.He got on one knee and gazed lovingly at Nikita. "Ms. Young, now that I've gotten to this part of my life that I'm proud of, will you do me the honor of marrying me?"Nikita giggled. She extended her hand to him and said, "I do!"They were surrounded by all their friends and family, who cheered for them just as they had for Nikita and Spencer's engagement, but Nikita was certain that this love story would not end the same way.She knew that Fabian would not turn out like Spencer, and she was willing to take a chance on love again. At the same time, she learned a valuable lesson—th
Nikita became far busier as time passed. Like other office-goers, she had to work overtime on some days to catch up on her progress, but she was happy about this. Everyone around her thought that she would wallow in the grief of losing her marriage for some time, but in reality, Nikita barely had time to even think about the divorce. She worked so hard that within six months, she was promoted to project leader. On this day, her hair was tucked into a neat bun, and her makeup was immaculate. She carried herself with such poise and elegance that it was hard to take one's eyes off her. Aside from good looks, she was also the team's most valuable member. In the short time that she began working for Fabian, she nailed down many important partnerships and expanded the team tremendously. Fabian made the right choice hiring her. "Pass on this completed report to the production line. There's an exhibition this afternoon, so I'll need two of you guys to attend alongside me."All of a sudd
Nikita rounded the corner and approached the parking lot, where Fabian was already waiting for her. Seeing that she was in such good spirits, he suggested, "Shall we go for a meal to celebrate?"Nikita did not turn him down. The two of them found a quaint little restaurant, got a private booth to themselves, and ordered a full five-course meal. Nikita was ravenous. To be more specific, she did not have much of an appetite recently, not only because of the stress of dealing with the divorce but also because work was extremely hectic. She was so engrossed in the research and development of an upcoming project that she barely ate, and lost quite a bit of weight. Fabian felt extremely happy watching Nikita nibble on her food. After their meal, Fabian asked, "Nikita, would you ever consider remarrying again, even after your divorce?"Nikita, who was wiping her mouth, froze when she heard this. She did not answer immediately, but instead considered this for a moment. Finally, she repli
Three days after that, Nikita finally met up with Spencer once more. To be more specific, Spencer had to call in a favor to every mutual friend they had to convince her to see him. Spencer showed up, looking disheveled and unshaven, a stark contrast to his usually impeccable appearance. Not only that, but he even appeared wearing a face mask. The truth of his affair came to light for days now, and both he and Queenie became the laughingstock of the town. They were jeered, booed, and scorned everywhere they went, and even the stock prices of Nextronics began to plummet. Many of Nextronics' customers returned their products, for one simple reason—they could not tolerate the idea of buying a product that belonged to a liar, a man who hoodwinked the public for so long into thinking he had eyes only for his wife when the truth was the opposite.Nextronics was, quite frankly put, in chaos at that point. The shareholders were demanding his resignation, and many of his female employees were
The next day, Nikita went to work earlier than usual. The moment she slid her SIM card back into her phone, it overflowed with messages within minutes. Most of the notifications were from her social media platforms, but some of them were messages to her phone number.A majority of these messages were apologies from the female colleagues who doubted her a few days ago. [We're sorry, Nikita, for questioning your integrity. We shouldn't have slandered you without knowing all the facts. We're ashamed of ourselves and we hope you will forgive us.]Some of them were supportive messages from her friends and family. [No matter what happens, Nikita, we'll be right by your side.]Some of them were not very friendly. [Nikita, you're an idiot! You shouldn't have let him go! Everyone cheats, so you should've held onto him. What matters is money, of course, not true love!]Nikita responded to the former message with kindness. As for the sender of the latter, she blocked the number without he
That night, Nikita unblocked Spencer's number. This was a serious issue at hand, with not only her reputation but Fabian's at stake. Therefore, she had to get to the bottom of this. To her surprise, before she could confront him, Spencer called and explained desperately, "Nikita, I saw the news article as well. I guarantee you that Queenie was the one behind all this. Just this afternoon, I warned her to stay away from you, but I didn't think she'd resort to something so drastic! "I've already come up with a solution to all this. Nextronics is hosting a press release in two days If you agree to show up, I can explain everything to the consumers and the shareholders who will be there. This will clear things up in no time."Even without Spencer mentioning it, Nikita could understand immediately what was going through his mind. As the star of the show, if Spencer were to step up and explain everything, her name would certainly be cleared, and no one would ever dare to insinuate her
Spencer was no match for Fabian at all. Fabian picked up martial arts in his youth and was an avid gym-goer. It was a no-brainer who would come out on top in this fight. Poor Spencer got the shorter end of the stick. Even whilst being attacked by Fabian, Spencer kept shooting pleading glances in Nikita's direction, hoping that she would feel bad for him, but Nikita only had eyes for her father.The light dissipated from Spencer's eyes. All of a sudden, a scream rang out from the hallway, "Spencer! What happened?"The next moment, Queenie stormed into the room. She sprinted over to Spencer and shielded herself between the two men, positioning herself so that her pregnant belly protruded proudly. Fabian would never lay hands on a woman, much less a pregnant one. He immediately stopped, then turned to glance at Nikita. Nikita tucked the covers around her father, then stood up and said solemnly, "Spencer, you already showed up at my door with your mistress and landed my father in t
"Ding dong!"The next afternoon, Andrew was in the middle of whipping up a delicious lunch for his wife, who was off at her book club. Having just finished cooking, he removed his apron and was just about to call Felicia when he heard the doorbell ring."Coming!" he trotted to the door. He thought it was the mailman. Ever since their retirement, Felicia picked up online shopping, so they grew quite friendly with their mailman now. One could only imagine his surprise when he opened the door and discovered it was Spencer, who looked disheveled. Andrew scowled. When Nikita broke the news to them that night, Andrew refrained from cursing Spencer in front of her, when in reality he wanted nothing more than to throttle him. Nikita was his only daughter and the apple of his and Felicia's eye. They would not let anyone touch even a hair on her head. Who would have thought she would be betrayed by the one she loved the most?The memory of Nikita's tear-stained face made Andrew clench his
Nikita and Fabian sat down in the wicker chairs on the balcony. Gazing out at the mountain skyline beyond, Nikita did not feel the slightest bit rejuvenated. If anything, she felt worse. "Fabian, do you think I'm useless?"Fabian replied without thinking, "Of course I don't."Nikita felt her breath catch in her throat. She stared at him incredulously. "Are you so sure?"Fabian nodded. Nikita chuckled and said, "Do you know what the public thinks of me?"In the public's opinion, Spencer is a successful man and a devoted husband. The perfect man whom any woman would die to marry. Do you know what they say about me? That I'm the luckiest woman alive to get to marry Spencer Ford."I was on the phone with Spencer just now, and he was certain that I wouldn't be able to earn my living without him. He's confident that without him, I cannot even survive. How did I end up like this? I graduated from an Ivy League school, for God's sake. I'm so well-educated that I could send an ordinary man
"Ms. Young, are you certain that you want to proceed with the termination?"Nikita Young, clutching the medical report tightly in her hands, nodded in determination. "Yes, doctor, I've made up my mind."The doctor sighed wistfully but did not attempt to change her mind. "Very well then. The best time frame for a pregnancy termination would be between thirty-five and fifty-five days after conception. Out of concern for your current health, I've scheduled your procedure to be carried out in ten days.""Thank you, doctor."Nikita found a spot on the bench in the waiting room. With one hand lightly stroking her still-flat tummy, she booked a flight ticket back to her hometown in 10 days.At that very moment, the little television screen in the waiting room was broadcasting a livestream of Nextronics' product launch.Nextronics was a company that rose steadily to fame over the past few years, not only because it boasted an impressive array of state-of-the-art digital devices, but also...
