Well, she doesn't need to pretend to be his wife anymore. That's when he buys over all the paparazzi and falls to his knees before her in the snow. He begs her to return to him. Unfortunately for him, she shows up arm-in-arm with another man. Her new man tells the whole world about their relationship.

Riley knew that no explanation would help right now, so he simply placed Aspen's file on the desk in front of Colin. "Mr. Fuller, it's definitely the same person."His detached, professional tone felt like a slap to Colin's face. As Colin stared down at the documents, he instinctively resisted. He couldn't accept that the woman he believed to be manipulative and ruthless was also genuinely talented.He snapped, "If she's that capable, then why go through all that trouble just to marry me? And why work so hard to win over my grandfather just to get him to hand over everything to her?"Colin slammed his fist down on the papers, his frustration pouring out as he ranted. He had been hit with blow after blow lately—more than he had ever experienced in his entire life. As someone born into privilege, he had never had to deal with this level of emotional chaos, and it was starting to crack his composure. Watching him unravel, Riley wisely kept quiet. Sometimes, the best thing he coul

Gwyneth never expected her little performance today to completely fail. She stood there frozen, looking awkward and clueless, while Aspen found it hilarious. Spending more time around Gwyneth had made one thing clear—her tricks weren't anything special; it was Colin's affection that made them work. After all, when a man was in love, he would play along and pretend he didn't see anything. But today, Gwyneth had chosen the wrong stage. This was the workplace, and no matter how juicy the gossip or messy the drama, nothing came before a paycheck in a corporate office. Faced with everyone's silent judgment, Gwyneth felt unbearably humiliated. She clenched her jaw and tried to give herself a graceful way out. "Since you're busy working, I won't bother you. I bought coffee for everyone, and it should be arriving soon. Thanks for all your hard work."She thought she was making a dignified exit. However, everyone in the room saw it for what it was; they knew it was nothing but a desper

Aren let out a deep sigh. Since Aspen had already walked off and he couldn't catch up, he figured he might as well deal with the person still standing in front of him.He explained, "It was my decision to study abroad. I left without saying much, and even though we had feelings for each other, there was never a promise between us. She didn't owe me loyalty or anything else."And if you saw me upset or heartbroken back then, that was all on me. It had nothing to do with her, right?"Eric had met love-drunk people before, but Aren was on a whole other level of delusion. Eric knew better than to try waking someone pretending to sleep. And as for curing lovesickness? It was hopeless. All he could do was sigh. He said, "Your personal life is none of my business—just like whether I hate her is none of yours. But I expect you to stay professional. We built this company from nothing.""You still owe her an apology," Aren insisted.Eric studied Aren for a moment, then finally gave in. "F

Aren had unexpectedly run into someone from work while grabbing a seafood boil. Normally, that wouldn't have been a big deal. But this wasn't just any coworker; it was Eric, who was so fed up that resentment was practically oozing off him.Aspen was amused by Eric's expression. She felt caught, like she had just been busted cheating, even though nothing was happening. Glancing at Eric cautiously, she lowered her voice and said, "I invited Aren to join me for some seafood boil. If you're free, why not join us?"Join then? Eric had only come to the restaurant to meet a client, but the guy had bailed on him at the last minute. That was how he had ended up here—and now, seeing these two together, he couldn't believe what he was looking at.Moreover, the fact that a CEO had sneaked off during work hours to cozy up with a married woman was not just unprofessional—it was scandalous. Crossing his arms, Eric said with righteous indignation, "Mr. Jefferson, the company was just launched

When Zac saw how Aren gently held Aspen and how she didn't resist, it sent him into a frenzy. He thrashed violently as guards struggled to hold him down, screaming, "Aspen, you whore! You're already screwing around, and you still won't give up the title of Mrs. Fuller? Women like you deserve to die. You should've died!"Aren instinctively covered Aspen's ears, shielding her from the filth pouring out of Zac's mouth. "Let's go.""Yeah," Aspen replied, cheeks slightly flushed as she tugged on his sleeve to lower his hands.Back when she lived in the Fuller residence, she had heard things ten times worse. Her skin had long since thickened—she didn't even register Zac's words anymore. They were not insults—they were just background noise.Seeing her so calm made Aren's heart ache even more. He gripped her hand firmly and led her out of the building without another word. He asked, "Pen, you said you wanted Colin to pay. But what's your real plan?"He looked at her with worry in his

Aspen picked up the phone and said calmly, "Zac, you're an adult, and adults face consequences. I came here today to say this to your face—I will never forgive you. Based on what you did, you'll spend at least five New Years here. I'll make sure to send you some leftovers from our New Year celebration."Her tone was steady, almost gentle, like she was explaining a schedule.Zac, on the other hand, had clearly been through hell. His face was bruised, his body was thinner, and he seemed constantly on edge. He had been beaten more than once, and no one had stepped in to stop it. But now, looking at Aspen's face through the glass, it all suddenly clicked in his head.He snarled, "It was you! You're the one who sent them after me, right? Aspen, you worthless bitch—I should've finished you off that day! Gwen's the one Colin really loves! She and Colin will get me out! Just wait!"The second he realized pleasantry wasn't working, Zac completely lost it. However, Aspen remained eerily c

Aspen stepped forward and slapped Gwyneth across the face without hesitation. Then, she grabbed a fistful of her hair, yanking her head back hard. With her other hand, she tapped lightly on Gwyneth's lips and hissed, "If you say Sophie's name one more time, I swear I'll sew that filthy mouth shut, stitch by stitch. Try me.""You wouldn't dare." Gwyneth scoffed, glaring defiantly at her. In her mind, Aspen was still just a helpless housewife who couldn't even stand up for herself. Watching Gwyneth's clueless, desperate expression, Aspen suddenly realized how pathetic it was to even engage with her. It was beneath her. So, she shoved her to the ground without mercy and sneered, "Go ahead. Crawl back to Colin and whine. Let's see if he'll divorce me for you."Once upon a time, Aspen would have been terrified of divorce. She had wanted to give Sophie a complete family more than anything. However, Sophie was gone, and Aspen had nothing left to fear. If anyone should be afraid of di

Even if Colin dropped to his knees and apologized that very second, Aspen wouldn't forgive him. After all, Sophie was gone, and no amount of regret or compensation could bring her back. Sophie, her precious daughter, was never coming home.Every time Aspen thought of Sophie and the way she left this world, her heart twisted with unbearable pain. She shoved Colin away with all the strength she had left, then took a deep breath and spoke with chilling calm. "Colin, there's no going back for us. If you're willing, we'll keep playing this little surface-level marriage game. If not, then let's get a divorce. Either way, you know better than anyone what your options are."She continued, "I get that everything you're doing right now is for Zac. But instead of trying to guilt-trip me with cheap apologies, why don't we sit down and talk terms like adults?"Aspen smoothed out her clothes, walked over to his desk, and sat right on top of it, crossing her legs with elegance and ease.Colin n

Enough was enough, and Aspen finally snapped. She slapped Colin hard across the face, the sound echoing through the office like a gunshot.Then, she yanked him down by the tie, her eyes burning with fury. "From now on, you're not allowed to mention Sophie. Don't speak her name—you don't deserve to. You're not worthy!"The slap, combined with Aspen's sudden outburst, left everyone in the room stunned. Even Gwyneth was frozen in shock. She never imagined Aspen would go off the rails like this, much less raise her hand on Colin. She stopped crying instantly. Her thoughts shifted to Zac, and a knot of dread formed in her chest. Things were about to get far more complicated than she had expected."Gwyneth, leave," Colin growled, eyes blazing.Gwyneth instinctively reached for his sleeve. "Colin?" "I said get out!" He yanked his arm away so forcefully that she stumbled and fell hard onto the floor. Gwyneth looked up at him, pitiful and confused. Once upon a time, Colin would have n

"Ms. Nicholls, didn't you know? Your child's condition is hereditary bone cancer. At most, she has six months to live. If I'm not mistaken, your mother passed away from the same disease. I advice you to get a thorough checkup yourself…"Aspen Nicholls felt like all the strength drained from her body. The doctor's words kept echoing in her mind as she stood there trembling uncontrollably."What's wrong, Mommy?" Sophie Fuller's sweet, gentle voice broke through Aspen's thoughts. The little girl looked up at her mother with concern. "Did I do something to make you unhappy?"Aspen's eyes fell on Sophie, lying frail and pale on the hospital bed. Guilt gnawed at her heart as she stared at her precious daughter's thin little face. She couldn't help but think Sophie didn't deserve such a fate."If it's my fault, I can apologize, okay?" Sophie forced a smile, trying her best to be brave.Aspen's heart twisted in agony. She couldn't believe her beloved child only had six months left. Aspe...
