Throughout the following month, I busied myself with work and flew across the world due to the different cases I had been working on.During my free time, I would think about Nicholas sometimes. I couldn't understand what was the point of dragging things out.He had been dragging things out the prev
I hadn't been feeling well lately, so I had been resting at home for the past two days. It wasn't until Douglas called me that I found out that Frances was oblivious to the fact that I wasn't in town and had been visiting the office for the past two days, seemingly looking distressed.To settle eve
France's eyes widened in disbelief as if she couldn't believe I would say such a rude thing to her.I ignored her expression and, before she could say a word, I quickly said, "I only allowed you to join my company because I found you pitiful."I was observing her expression when I said that, and she
Inside the empty white building, Nicholas sat alone by the table as he glanced quietly outside the window. There was a look of calm desperation in his eyes.It had been more than a month. He had listened to his doctor, ate his medications, and took all the necessary injections. Everyone was telling
I froze. I never knew Nicholas had started to enjoy playing such games.There was a trend currently going viral on social media where couples who had just broken up would ask each other if they've ever truly loved each other. Claudia's question was very similar to that question.In the past, my answ
I felt slightly dazed the second I received those divorce papers.After getting into my car, I looked through the papers carefully, examining Nicholas' handwriting. Although the strokes weren't as sharp as before, it was undeniably his handwriting and signature.I wondered what circumstances had cau
I did not stay in Jay Caldwell & Co. for long as I had a dinner that night. The project manager from Hawk Corporation had invited me for dinner. I had purposefully leaked the information to Frances, so I was not the slightest bit surprised to see her sitting at the side of the table when I entered
I mostly stayed home during the days leading up to the divorce. Besides focusing on my body's recovery, I also did not have much to look forward to. Once I settled the cases that I had been working on, I also stopped caring about the company. Instead, I focused on gardening as if I were a director
The next day, I returned to Radiant City, hoping to see him one last time. To my surprise, I was turned away at the entrance.A small note was handed to me by a police officer. On it were Nicholas' strong, determined words."Wait for me to atone for my sins. Wait for me to come to you."Staring at t
"All the mistakes began with me, so today, I will end them."Because of my actions, those who deserved punishment were able to evade justice for four long years. I am willing to cooperate with the police investigation, provide the necessary evidence, and take full legal responsibility for any past a
After hanging up the call, I immediately searched online.Screenshots of Nicholas being taken away were plastered across numerous articles by the tabloids. And the top four trending topics were all about him."Hawk Corporation CEO Publicly Confesses Love""Hawk Corporation CEO Taken Away for Investi
I suddenly received a call from Douglas. He asked when I would need Tabitha's passport back, as it was still with him. I couldn't help but feel that once a person wakes up to the truth, everything starts to fall into place as it was meant to."Send it to Coral Villa," I said, then hung up and went t
In the following days, my schedule was always tightly arranged by Nicholas.He subtly hinted and asked whether I'd consider remarrying him, saying it might make the adoption process for Cory easier. However, I could handle the matter myself, even if it was more troublesome.Rather than discussing re
It wasn't until Leo was wheeled out of the operating room that I finally saw Yasmine and Nicholas in the ward.The two of them exchanged a silent glance when they saw me and turned away in unison, as if by mutual agreement.I couldn't help but feel that the tension between them had somehow lessened.
Nicholas' entire body trembled violently, his mouth opening and closing for a long time without being able to utter a single word."My father… wasn't it because of my mother…""It was your mother who ordered it, and Claudia carried it out!"Nicholas still couldn't comprehend, his voice hollow and di
Nicholas started trembling uncontrollably, anger surging through him almost instantly, consuming every fiber of his being.Although he was aware that there were still some unresolved misunderstandings between him and me, she had already said she didn't mind. He had thought it wasn't something import
The ambulance arrived swiftly, its flashing red warning lights casting Yasmine's pale face in an even starker hue.She got into the ambulance with Leo, while Nicholas and I drove together to the hospital.Nicholas sighed regretfully, "I arranged everything as quickly as I could, but I was still a bi
