Alex POV

I stopped the car at the airport, Vini's flight was a bit delayed today. The first thing she wanted to do after arriving here was to see me.

"Alex..." She stood in front of the car. I barely had time to step out before she wrapped her arms around me in a tight embrace.

"We would have missed the party if you come an hour late," I told her as we got into the car.

"That won't be possible. I am a daughter of Weber, it's the first event of the Weber family. How could it start without me?" She said blowing her nails.

"How was your vacation?" I asked her, she was excited about her trip before leaving.

"Yeah! I enjoyed it but I missed you." She folds her arms into mine. I smiled.

Tonight, we were heading to a party at the Weber house- a rarity in itself. The reason for the party has not been revealed yet. But something might be special. Even my engagement with Vini was low-key.

"Where are you taking me?" Vini asked.

“Not just yet. We’re stopping by my place first to pick up Mom and Andy,” I said.

"Oh..." She sounded disappointed, perhaps because she wanted more time to spend with me.

"Don’t worry. Mom and Andy are excited to see you. They will help you to get ready." I asked, and her face lightened up again.

Once everyone was ready, we headed to Weber's house. She was their only daughter, so marrying her would be beneficial for me and my company.

"Wow... Thanks to Vini, we're going to be family members of the Webers. Alex is going to be their only son in law " My mom praised her. My mom and Vini's mom had arranged this marriage two months ago, and now I was engaged to her just a day after my divorce from Diana.

"Yeah, unlike that bitch!. She didn't deserve to be the daughter-in-law of our family," Andy said.

"Andy, please," I asked her to stop. "Stop bringing her every time," I said.

The car stopped in the large parking area of the Weber house. We stepped out, and Vini wrapped her arm around me. She loved to show me off. The last time when we were at the exhibition, she was not tired of telling everyone about our engagement.

"I'm excited to show everyone that my fiancé is so handsome.," Vini said. As soon as we got inside, she literally tagged herself as "Alex Harper's fiancée." She didn’t miss a chance to flaunt the ring on her finger.

Vini and I walked into the party, greeting guests and making small talk. Everything seemed normal until my eyes landed on someone across the room—a woman in a red satin gown. My heart stopped. It couldn’t be… but it was. Diana.

I blinked, unsure if I was imagining it. Six months. Six long months since she’d vanished from my life, and now she was standing here, at Weber’s party of all places. It didn’t make sense. Was I hallucinating? Was the emptiness I’d felt since she left playing tricks on me? I was expecting her to disappear, but she didn’t.

"Isn't she Diana?" Vini pointed at her. "What is she doing here?" Vini asked me.

"I don't know. She knows no one here besides me." I said.

Ashley POV

I stood at the bar counter. My throat felt dry. Smiling at everyone around me, I tried to blend in. This was my welcome party, after all. But the smile faded the moment I heard a familiar voice behind me.

“What are you doing here, Diana?” I turned around slowly. My heart sank when I saw Alex. Of all the people, I didn’t expect to see him here. Our last meeting was when he divorced me.

Worse, Vini was right beside him, her arm wrapped possessively around his elbow. My hands clenched into fists the moment I saw her. Vini was the reason I lost my baby. The reason I miscarried. The murderer of my unborn child.

Alex’s face looked confused. Seemed he was trying to figure out why I seemed so different now. I could almost laugh. He never did understand me.

“It’s none of your business,” I said. I did not want to cause a scene, especially not at my own party. I turned to leave, but Vini wasn't done. She grabbed my wrist and stopped me.

“Business? First, tell us how you even got in here. There's no way they invited you.” Her fingers dug into my skin. The same way she had yanked me before—right before she pushed me that day.

I took a deep breath. I was fighting back the surge of anger rising inside me. “If they hadn’t invited me, I wouldn’t be here,” I said coldly and yanked my hand out of her grip.

“You have lost your memory. Who even brought you here? This expensive dress, that diamond necklace. It looks like you found another rich man after divorcing Alex.”

I saw Alex's brow furrow. I could see the doubt creeping into his eyes. The same doubt that had poisoned our relationship for years. He turned to me. His voice was low and uncertain. “Diana, is it true? You disappeared for six months. Have you found someone?” Alex asked me curiously.

I almost laughed. The man who didn’t believe a word I said for three years suddenly cared about what Vini thought. How pathetic.

“Even if it were true, it has nothing to do with you.” I met his gaze with cold steel in my eyes. “Now, if you’ll excuse me.”

I turned to leave again, but just as I took a step, I felt Vini’s foot hook around my ankle. Before I tried to get away, I lost my balance and crashed forward. I was headed straight for the pile of wine glasses stacked on the decorative table. My heart raced as I

but then—suddenly a warm hand gripped tightly around my waist. I was halted just an inch before the glasses. I turned back, and my breath caught in my throat—Dylan. How is this man always there to save me? His face was as cold as ice.

"Thank you, Mr. Dylan," I said, straightening myself and taking a deep breath. I could see Vini's face twist in bitterness as she watched us.

"Are you okay?" Dylan's voice was steady, and I nodded in response. I was still shaken but trying to regain my composure.

I noticed Alex out of the corner of my eye, and he didn't seem to like the way Dylan was holding me.

"Mr. Dylan, did you bring her here? Do you even know how conniving she is? She played with Alex for three years, and now that he's stopped supporting her, she's latched onto you." Vini's voice dripped with venom, her words deliberately cruel.

Dylan's expression darkened, his face growing even more chilling as he turned to Vini.

"Miss Vini, if you truly knew her, you wouldn't say this at all," Dylan said, leaving Vini shocked. Slowly, people began gathering around the party. Melissa and Andy both stepped forward.

"Mr. Dylan, you have no idea. Her job is to seduce Rich men. She's a gold digger who's been using you. For three years, she lived lavishly off my son's money," Melissa declared in front of everyone.

"Mr. Dylan.. Just kick her out. This bitch doesn't deserve to be in this party." Andy went and wrapped her hand around Dylan.

Dylan looked at me.

"So, this is how you were treated for three years?" he asked. I pressed my lips together. At my own welcome party, I was literally facing such a mess.

"I have nothing to say.. I am leaving." I said and took a few steps. Suddenly Grandpa arrived there with a disappointed face.

"Who is trying to bully my Granddaughter? Who doesn't love his life anymore?" He asked angrily, People might be scared of him. Everyone turned pale as soon as he arrived. Vini didn't waste time and approached Grandpa.

"Grandpa.. This girl.. She really tried to bully me. You were right. She didn't know whose granddaughter I am.." Vini wrapped her hand and smirked at me. What happened next was stunned me.

    You're just a stepdaughter. I wasn’t talking about you." Grandpa snapped. He jerked his hand away from hers with a scowl. It clearly showed Grandpa didn't like her. "Grandpa, it's okay. You don't need to be worried now." Alan approached and placed his hand on the grandpa's shoulder calmly. He whispered something in Grandpa's ear, and Grandpa nodded in agreement. "This party," Grandpa began, "was held to introduce the new managing director of Weber Group." Grandpa called me on stage. I smiled and approached the stage. He held my shoulder and watched me with pride in his eyes. "Miss Ashley is our new managing director. She is very capable and deserving of this position. I hope our business partners get an opportunity to introduce themselves," Grandpa said, and everybody seemed shocked. Alex and Vini appeared dumbfounded. I had never seen Vini's face this displeased before. All the staff and other people gathered around me and started pestering me. A tall and handsome man approached m

    Dylan Marcov: It was just a few years ago that the research center staff informed me they had found the body of a fifteen-year-old girl whose DNA matched Ashley's. In that moment, I lost all hope. I believed she had died, she would never return, and I almost gave up on her getting back. I accepted the fate that we would never meet again. That night, after my meeting with the Harper Group at the Blue Hilton Hotel, I stepped into my Rolls-Royce. As soon as I turned on the headlights. a figure appeared in front of me. I froze.

    Ashley POVThe noise outside drew us out of the room. As I stepped out, I was shocked to see Alex being stopped by Dylan's bodyguard."Let me go inside! Do you know who I am?" Alex threatened Fred, but Fred didn't even move. He seemed loyal to his master, Dylan, and was only waiting for his unspoken command. Dylan's mere nod made him release Alex's hand."Alex, why are you making such a scene?" I demanded. I was frustrated. There were still many things I wanted to discuss with Mr. Dylan, and any interruption was the last thing I expected.“And what are you doing here with Mr. Dylan?” Alex countered, his face darkened with suspicion. “And that too, alone?”“That’s none of your business,” I replied while Folding my arms tightly across my chest. “We’ve been divorced for six months now. You’re engaged to Vini, remember Alex? Maybe focus on her instead of me.”"What happened?" Alan appeared, his brows arching in surprise as he took in the tense scene: Alex, Dylan, and me—a precarious trian

    The file felt heavy as it weighed on my new responsibility. Dylan Marcov's name seemed to jump off the page in bold, commanding letters. As I began reading it, my eyes widened in disbelief. Three hundred billion. It was one of the largest deals I’d ever heard of, perhaps one of the biggest in the history of our business."Why is this deal still pending?" I demanded while glancing at Lucy. The proposal had been made over a year ago, yet there hadn’t been any movement."They have not accepted yet. Perhaps we got a silent rejection," Lucy replied in a low tone, implying it was unlikely to be accepted.I had heard about Dylan Marcov from Alan and seen his name all over the internet—described as a ruthless, selfish man with no room for kindness. But I felt a little kindness in his heart when I was in the hospital. The challenge seemed immense, but not impossible."I have decided. I will secure this contract," I said, and Lucy's eyes widened. I could almost hear the unspoken mockery in her

    My mind screamed at his womanizer image. The way his intense gaze traced over me, my skin like a flame. Even though he appeared calm, I could feel the heat radiating from him. He had already trampled my private space. I pushed him back with my hand."Sorry, Mr. Dylan. But I’m not the kind of girl who jumps into bed for a deal. I’m a woman with dignity," I stated firmly.His eyes narrowed as a flicker of disappointment crossed his face."No one has ever dared to touch me, let alone push me." He stared at my palms with a sharp gaze. Even though he appeared scary, I still resisted. Perhaps he thought I was the kind of woman who would throw herself at anyone just because I married Alex. But he was wrong. He stared at me closely, as if he were trying to find something hidden beneath my defiance."Miss Ashley, nothing in this world comes for free. I don’t engage in anything that doesn’t profit me. And considering your company’s current situation..." He continued, sliding the paper across th

    As Alan went for the test drive, I excused myself to the restroom. When I stepped out, Vini was already standing in front of me.Her gaze immediately fixed on the sapphire bangle around my wrist. Her eyes widened as if she recognised it."It's Weber's ancient bangle, isn't it? How did Grandpa give it to you?" she demanded. Clenched her teeth.Grandpa had handed it to me right after the party ended, and I decided to wear it today. Who knew I would bump Vini here?"Why? What's your problem?" I asked her, squitting my eyes. "It looks better isn't it." I fixed it and was ready to make my exit. Vini grabbed my hand and tried to yank the bracelet off. "Give it to me. It's mine. You can't have it. I deserve it," she hissed. Her fingers dug into my skin.I pushed her, my head began aching. She troubled me so much already, including my miscarriage. Even though it was an accident, for some reason I didn't want to see her face. "You think you can have a legacy of Weber just by climbing onto me

    The day had finally arrived. The deal I had kept on hold for over a year, waiting for the perfect moment, was here and now. I had hoped that one day she would return, and I would use this deal to get her. And everything happened as I expected. I could have stopped the news of her slapping Vini Weber from spreading yesterday, could have steadied the Weber Group’s shares with a single phone call. But I wanted more than a simple “thank you” from her. I wanted her. I'd sacrifice a fortune for her—three billion, thirty billion—it didn’t matter. But she was blind to see how much I needed her, how desperate I was to make her mine. "Did you hear that?" she asked again, her voice slicing through my thoughts. I opened the drawer and pulled out the contract I had prepared weeks ago, the paper cool against my fingers. I pushed it across the desk. Her eyes widened when she read the term contract on the papers. "What is this?" “Read it,” I replied, keeping my tone measured, hiding the

    I was clenched in one corner, feeling a little uncomfortable. I huddled myself further into the corner and tried to put as much distance as possible between us. The driver felt more like a robot; he did not blink or shift his gaze for the entire ride, as if Mr. Dylan had given him strict orders about it.Dylan's fragrance was strong, yet undeniably attractive. He wore a white shirt and black trousers, his sleeves rolled up to his elbows, revealing muscular arms with greenish veins throbbing. I couldn’t help but stare. No wonder women went crazy about him.Suddenly, I felt hands gripping my waist, and a wave of discomfort washed over me. I shifted slightly."Mr. Dylan, I already told you, I'm not the kind of woman who sleeps around with men," I tried to set my boundaries once again. His expression darkened."What do you think of me, Ashley? Do you think I'm close to you because I want to fuck you?" His words were blunt, hitting me like a punch to the gut. I swallowed hard.

    Ashley POVI crumbled the pregnancy report that I was hiding inside the quilt. The conversation I had with Alex in the morning echoed in my mind. The question put me in another haze. "Do you know who was behind the fire that occurred in the Weber group factory?" Alex asked me. My eyes tapered at his words. How can I forget that fire which almost burned the factory and led to the injury of many employees and the death of one?"You won't believe it was Dylan Marcov behind it," Alex smirked. "Shut the fuck up. You said enough." I said while holding my gown. I almost stumbled upon it after listening to his nonsense."You might not believe it now, but you will come to know the truth. Your husband was full of revenge that he would not see what's wrong and what's right.” I didn't want to believe anything he said. Our last meeting already caused a nuisance in my life. I could not think Dylan would be the one who set fire when I was dying to set up the new factory. I had worked hard for it

She fumbled and rushed to her cabin.I sat on my chair back and gathered her stuff. She had no idea that I was always watching her, no matter what. The glass partition between us was see-through from this side. On the days when she changed the measurement of the floors in the structure of towers, I sent another mail to Chinese investors and advised some changes in it."Come and sit here." I gestured at the chair, Ashley walked inside and did as I said. I smiled at her obedience. "What do you want me to do?" She opened the file and asked me. "Develop another structure against the raw one?" I said. Her brows raised. "What? It will take almost a week to develop it again. Are you taking revenge on me?" She muttered.It wasn't revenge but she would work with me for one week and I was excited abo

    I pulled the curtains of the window and found him standing at the corner of the road. He leaned over his Rolls Royce and lit a cigarette in his mouth. His eyes continuously tried to gaze at the balcony. My heart pounded at his sight. How his single gaze had a tendency to move my heart this fast. I pulled the curtains back and went on the bed. I lay back and tried to sleep."Why is he here? What was he trying to prove?" I muttered and slept back. "Will it change everything he did?"I thought he would leave if I ignored him. But as the time passed I found him standing at the same place. Almost tens of cigarette buds lie beside it. I got back to my bed, it's been three hours. But Dylan was still standing on the road. "Just leave. Why are you here?" I texted him back. "I won't leave until I see you." He sent me several emojis followed by it. I walked into the balcony, My body was chilling. The autumn winds are blowing faster than they should be. I rubbed my elbow, and stood there. "

    Ashley POV"Why did you come back?" Grandpa asked me, I breathed heavily. Alan was standing there too. "Grandpa, please trust her. She is not someone who acts recklessly. It must be something serious." Alan said. I speechlessly stood before them wearing the same wedding outfit. I didn't know how to explain, but whatever Dylan did was not worth forgiving."Serious? What is she doing seriously? She ran away from her wedding night. She did not even think about the reputation of both families. It would ruin everything in both houses." Grandpa coughed, he almost trembled, Alan held his shoulder tightly. I was scared, I didn't want to give any more pain to Grandpa."Alan, please take Grandpa back to his room and give him his medicine," I said, worryingly. Alan nodded and did as I said.I knew whatever we did could ruin everything, but what about everything he did before? What if Marrying me could also be one of his plans? I recalled everything he did and the extent he went to destroy our

    Dylan POV"Ashley.." I rushed to the car but she was already gone. She didn't give a glimpse of me but left. I dug my phone out and called Ashley several times."Please, pick up my phone. Ashley. Please." I muttered under crushed teeth. I didn't know our wedding would begin with such trouble. I had no idea that I had to spend my wedding night regretting something I did in the past. "The number you have dialled is currently switched off.." She turned her phone off. How could I explain it to her? But what's there to explain? I did it and it was true. I must say it was one of my acts when I was not thinking with my heart but fully thinking with my mind. Twelve years ago, when I was just an orphan and met Ashley, I didn't even know it would be my last time to see her.**Flashback"Are you going to miss me?" I asked Ashley, I heard she was heading to her Grandpa's birthday party on the cruise and probably would see me after three days. I was crazy about her and three days would be mor

I was annoyed with Dylan at first but later Alan explained everything to me. Dylan didn't punish Alex because of Divorce but his intention. Alex began laughing loudly. "So he made up another story. You are still very naive Ashley. I thought you were changed, you became a powerful woman but you are still someone who can get fooled by anyone."Alex taunted me, I gritted my teeth and grabbed the flair of my gown. Initially, I felt pity for him but I realised some people deserve no mercy. "If you just came to congratulate me, then I will thank you. You can leave now." I said and started leaving the corridor. "Dylan Marcov, the tycoon of Markov Industries. Top-ranked billionaire in Forbes list. A major invisible shareholder of Weber group. Who bought 97 per cent of shares till now." Alex said and I

    Ashley POV"Can't I come to see my wife? I have been missing her since morning?" Dylan said, I raised my brows."You promised me that you would let me stay here until the day of our marriage. So what happened?" I was puzzled but then I laughed to see him confessing that he missed me. I want to stay here and cherish my childhood memories. I didn't have many but still, they were enough for me to spend a week recalling them. But I was stunned to see Dylan in my room."I didn't come to take you back, You are going to stay with me for the rest of your life. So I think I can bear the pain of the week." “So why did you come here huh?” I asked folding my hands. “Come and sleep with me.” He patted on my bed, and his expressions were quite naughty.“No, I said no sex until we get married. Can you?” I asked him. He first refused but then he agreed. He got up from my bed."Alright, I came here for some important work.

People might call me desperate for that and ask me to wait for a few months, but I was. I was desperate to call her officially mine. She was the only person whom I was not ready to lose and I wanted to tie her with that sacred bond.The night suit was still wrapped around her waist as she hugged me from behind. "When did you wake up?" She asked me, it was a holiday and I thought she would sleep late."When you were sleeping like a baby," I said, she started leaving and I held her hand."Do you forget anything?" I gestured at my cheeks. She looked around. My bodyguards were behind me and Fred was sitting on the chair before me. Aunt Angela and a few relatives were around."What?" She hesitated a little bit as her eyes went around the crowd. "We are in the living room."She said, embarrassing.I wrapped my hand around her waist and pu

I asked him while holding his hands. He nodded as he took a sip of tea."Thanks to you, I can sleep well." He said, his hands rubbing the back of my palm."You know, Fred managed to get the footage from the ship where Grandpa celebrated his birthday. But it was too blurry to find out anything."He said with an upset tone. "What?" My brows furrowed. "Yes, and I want to accompany you every moment. I regret that I wasn't with you back twelve years ago."Dylan said with a regretful tone. Seemed he was guilty of that. And that's the reason he wanted to keep me with him every time. "When you were with me every time, why didn't you board a ship?"I asked him. That's what puzzled me the most. I handed him the invitation, I wanted him to come with me.
