Leon's POV

When I found out that Isabella was back I was so happy. She was my first love and I hoped that she would also be my last love. But unfortunately, I had to be paired with Ariane. A girl I never loved. I was also just her partner because of destiny. I treated Ariane coldly hoping that she couldn't stand it and would divorce me.

I was shocked when Ariane asked for a divorce. I thought my hopes had come true but it turned out that I just found out that she was pregnant with twins. I also didn't want her to leave me just like that. I reminded my descendants. I regretted treating her badly.

Isabella also knew that Ariane and I were in the process of getting a divorce.

"Leon, shouldn't you be happy because you will soon divorce Ariane? We can get married and announce to the world that we are a happy couple?" Isabella said. For some reason, Isabella's charm was not the same as before Ariane asked for a divorce. She was no longer beautiful in my eyes.

"Sorry, Isabella, I can't."

"What do you mean I can't, Leon? Didn't you say you were going to divorce Ariane? Even Ariane was the one who asked you to be cheerful without you bothering to divorce her?" Isabella looked annoyed because I didn't follow her request.

"Well, that's what I wanted before. But after I found out that she was pregnant with twins, I regretted it and wanted to maintain our marriage, Isabella."

"Why, Leon? If you marry me, I can have lots of children for you. I also don't mind if I only get pregnant and give birth after we get married. You will have lots of descendants after this."

I took a deep breath. How could I explain to Isabella if that wasn't what I meant? Especially when Isabella left me for a long time, making me doubt her.

"I'll think about it again, Isabella."

Today is my first court date for my divorce from Ariane. Honestly, I don't want to leave this marriage. Indeed, regret will always only appear later. If only I was sure that Ariane could give birth to my child, of course, from the start, I would have learned to love her. Now I realize that all this time I also loved her but it was hidden from Isabella because I felt that she was the best woman in the world.

It turns out I was wrong, I have loved Ariane for a long time. Even now I feel tight in my chest because of Ariane's statement asking for a divorce from me. I am not willing and I do not want this divorce to go well.

I approached the man who was Ariane's lawyer. "Where is Ariane?"

"She will not be here today. I will be her representative," the lawyer replied.

"Why?" I asked.

"This is none of your business, sir. This is Mrs. Ariane's privacy. So I hope you can also cooperate."

I snorted in annoyance. Until like that Ariane already wanted to divorce me. Maybe she felt very hurt by me.

I went through the first trial and the judge will postpone the trial today because Ariane was not present. The judge asked to postpone to carry out the mediation process. I have never been through a divorce process so I don't know. I can feel the pain in my heart right now. Why was I late in admitting that I love Ariane? Maybe I will try to meet her after this. I will convince her that I can change for the better.

I was already in front of her apartment. Then I pressed the doorbell.

"Who?" The voice was my wife's voice.

"Ariane, it's me. Can we talk together?"

"Oh, sorry. I don't accept guests. I thought you were the food courier who delivered my food order. Go away! I'm not accepting guests for now. Until our divorce process is complete I won't see you."

Ariane hung up her call from the door. I sighed. She could be that indifferent to me. In the past, she was the one who whined to be able to sit alone with you, but I always refused because I was uncomfortable being next to her. Now everything is the opposite. I am the one who whines to be with her but she refuses. She doesn't even allow me to enter her apartment. If I force my way in, of course, I will be the center of attention by many people here.

I'd better get out of here and watch the young wolves training.

“Why is your face so gloomy?” Harley asked. He was my partner in training the young wolves while I was more busy with my activities in the city.

“I’m going to divorce my wife,” I replied.

“Oh really? Don’t you not love your wife?” I didn’t know why he knew about my problem too. Did I hate my wife so much that I told him about this problem?

“Yeah, I know. I regret it now.”

“Ah, regret always comes at the end. Do you have a girlfriend too? Oh yeah, I heard yesterday that your girlfriend had been to a witch’s house.”

“What do you mean?”
