All Chapters of Divorce Agreement: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Kate's POV I opened my laptop and started writing a personal statement. I knew that this was an opportunity to show that I was more than just the daughter of a conglomerate that disappeared without a trace. I have to prove that I am a leader who is able to face challenges. When I finish writing, I send the draft to the PR team for review. I know that this is an important first step. I have to face my past and show the world that I will not run away from my responsibilities. That afternoon, we held a press conference. I stood in front of the camera with Erlan beside me. I could feel the camera glares and the curious gazes of journalists. I took a deep breath and started talking. "Good afternoon. I'm Kate, President Director of Branch Group. Today, I want to explain a few things regarding the article that recently spread in the media," I said in a firm voice. "I am aware that there has been much speculation about my past and my role as leader of this company. I would like t

Kayra's POV When I opened my cell phone screen this morning, a piece of news appeared in front of me that made me shocked and angry at the same time. The headline is striking: "President Director of Branch Group, Kate, Is it Really the Ex-Wife of Darwis, President Director of Dawson Group?". I don't believe it. How could everyone know about Kate and Darwis's past? Only a few people know about their relationship, and I'm sure one of them is Lia. Angrily, I immediately called Lia, waiting a few seconds before she finally picked up the phone. "Hello, Kayra," Lia's voice sounded cheerful on the phone. "Don't 'hello' me like it's nothing, Lia," I said sharply. "What are you doing? Why is there news about Kate being Darwis' ex-wife?" There was silence for a moment before Lia answered in a confused voice. "What do you mean? I don't know about that news." I gritted my teeth. "Don't pretend you don't know, Lia. Only a few people know about their past, and you are one of them. Ho

Kate's POV When we arrived at the office, I felt stronger and ready to face the day. Erlan helped me get out of the car and we walked together towards the entrance. I could feel the curious eyes of the employees, but I didn't care. What's important is that I'm not alone. Erlan was by my side. When we got into the elevator, Erlan was still holding my hand. "So, what are your plans for today?" he asked in a light tone. I smiled, feeling calmer. "I have to attend some meetings and review some reports. Today will be very busy." Erlan nodded. "Okay. If you need help or just want to take a break, don't hesitate to call me. I'll be here." I felt warmth in his words. "Thank you, Erlan. I will remember that." The elevator arrived at my office floor and we exited together. I feel stronger and better prepared to face whatever comes. With Erlan by my side, I know that I can get through all these obstacles. That day, I worked with enthusiasm. I know that there are many things I have

Kate's POV "Thank you for tonight, Kate. I really enjoyed our time together," he said softly. "Me too, Erlan. Thank you for making tonight so special," I answered, reluctant to part. Erlan smiled and nodded. "See you tomorrow, Kate. Rest well." "Erlan, how about you come in and dry your clothes here? I can give you dry clothes temporarily," I offered when I realized his clothes were still soaking wet. Erlan looked embarrassed. "I don't want to bother you, Kate." "It's not a hassle at all. Come on, I won't let you go home wet like this," I insisted with a confident smile. After a moment of hesitation, Erlan finally nodded. "Okay, thanks, Kate." We went into my apartment, and I gave Erlan a towel and dry clothes. "You can change clothes in the bathroom," I said, pointing in the direction. After a few minutes, Erlan came out of the bathroom wearing the clothes I gave him. We sat in front of the TV with a cup of hot tea that I made. At first, we were silent for a long time

Kayra's POV I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself, but the emotions raging in my heart were difficult to suppress. I looked at Darwis with eyes full of worry and confusion. "Darwis, I need more than just promises. I need real action," I said in a voice that was starting to rise. "I told you, I will try, Kayra," he answered in a firmer tone. "But you also have to give me time." "Time? How much longer? I've been waiting and being patient, but every time there's a problem, you always come back to thinking about Kate!" I started to feel hopeless and frustrated. "What really happened, Darwis? Why can't you let go of your past?" Darwis sighed and looked at me with a look that was difficult to interpret. "It's not about me not being able to let go of the past. It's about me trying to keep everything under control." "Controlled? What about us? Do you feel that we are insignificant?" I became increasingly angry, feeling that all my feelings and efforts were not appreciated.
