Chapter 1 Her Marriage On The Brink.
The soft ticks of a grandfather clock filled the silent air of a rather huge kitchen. Ariadne was just about done with preparing her anniversary dinner.Dusting her hands of any food crumbs, she reached for the device when the melodic sound of her ringtone broke the silence.It was the call she had been waiting for.Beaming brightly, she answered the phone. “Yeah, hello?”“Mrs. Ariadne? We’ve called to inform you that the custom order you made a few weeks ago is now ready. Would you like us to deliver it to you?”“No!” She instantly objected upon instinct, one could almost call it an everyday routine.Although she had been married to Lucien Albrecht, a big shot in the business industry, for years- five years. But to be precise, no one in the outside world knew she was his wife.In other words, she, being his wife, was on papers alone.After so long of marriage, Lucien had never for once shown her the love she wanted. Not that she expected him to; after all she was just a woman he had

“I’ll send home the divorce paper, so let’s get divorced.”Huh?Ariadne stared at Lucien, dumbstruck. Her whole world seemed to have stopped, coming to a stand still as her brain found it hard to process her husband’s very words.‘Divorce? Just how much had he drunk to be spilling such nonsense.’ The brunette thought and tried to dismiss Lucien’s words.“You’re tired and exhausted as of now, how about I take you up and get some rest then we can… talk about this in the morning.” She affirmed and forced a smile onto her lips, about to resume her previous mission when Lucien firmly gripped onto her arm.She suppressed the surprised gasp that was about to leave her lips. Raising her gaze, she was surprised to see Lucien’s face so close to hers.The look of distrust and disdain clear in his blue-ocean like orbs, almost made her core flatten.“Let me repeat myself once again. I’ll send home the divorce documents, so you sign them and don’t kick up a fuss.”Ariadne felt her heart sink. Her g

In an enraged and bitter state, Ariadne drove straight to Albrecht Empire, Lucien’s company and stormed inside.If he wanted her to sign those documents so badly, he needed to tell her to her face. By himself.She ignored the calls of every employee and stormed straight towards Lucien’s office, pushing the door open without so much as a knock.“Lucien are you really…?”Her speech was silenced as the scene in front of her shook her mental state.Sitting on the office couch was Lucien and right right beside him… was Octavia, his so-called first crush, cuddling up to him like smudged chocolate .They were enjoying a freaking happy meal together, as if they were the real couple who's fates have already been predetermined by the universe.And that scene never happened between Ariadne and Lucien. She could only ever picture it in her daydreams.Even more hurtful, Lucien’s face, which held an emotion akin to blissfulness and inner peace, hardened up to his usual stoic one upon noticing the in

Later that day, when Lucien returned at night, the first thing he noticed was how quiet and ghost-like the house’s surrounding.He couldn’t quite place a finger on what felt out of place at first, but the moment his eyes landed on the divorce documents sprawled out across the table, it all clicked.A certain person was absent.Strolling over, he picked up the document and gazed at it, an unexplained feeling he couldn’t quite describe played around in his heart, causing the redhead to blink his eyes in confusion.‘She signed it?’ Lucien thought and looked around the living area, confirming her departure, but yet the scent of her usual lavender perfume still wafted through the air, making him feel her presence even though the female herself was nowhere to be seen.Lucien finally placed away the documents, a sigh escaping his lips as his fingers reached up and undid his tie.This was what he wanted, but why…?His train of thought dwindled as his eyes caught sight of a shiny gift box. Luci

After successfully taking back the ownership of the company, Alexandra was on the way to somewhere.As her phone beeped, a news poped up before her eyes.The signal of engagement?!It was said that the rising actress Octavia Barrette would get engaged with a mysterious CEO in a week, as someone had witnessed they were picking engagement rings at the shop.Though the photo didn't show the full face of the man, Alexandra could also recognize his identity at once.It was the man who she had called husband for 5 years, Lucien Albrecht.Barely a week after she signed their divorce papers, her so-called ex husband was flaunting his new relationship.‘See, Ariadne. Your marriage really meant nothing to him, didn't it?Her gaze was hurt at first but soon darkened with disdain, a new emotion that she had only recently discovered, an emotion that she never thought she could have for the man who she loved for years before.Well, they were nothing but mere strangers now. She was Alexandra, and no

Sitting in Lucien’s office, Octavia scrolled through her phone to get some social media she usually did.It hadn’t been more than one week since Ariadne had signed their divorce paper and moved out, yet it was said that she was already taking over the Albrecht household as their future new madam.The sound of the study door opening drew the noirette away from her phone. Raising her gaze, her eyes landed on Lucien as he stepped in, looking stressed, she could tell.Lucien was a wrapped walking present, a gift given from God to bless this world, a magnet for women and money, and envy to men.With Auburn long hair, Deep Ocean blue orbs, perfect natural lips, broad shoulders that Octavia found the most attractive, and with a height that towered above most men. A best choice that any women could dream about.Watching him walk towards his work table without sparing a glance her way- probably caught up with producing a new business idea that will most definitely skyrocket Albrecht Empire’s p
Read moreChapter 7 Too Much Of A Coincidence.
The next day at Albrecht Empire, inside the dark exterior of Lucien’s office stood the head manager of the PR team, the woman cowering in her booth under Lucien’s piercing gaze.“My question was simple; under whose order were those posts made?”“M-Ms. Barrette, Sir. She informed us that you were aware and had given full permission to allow it air.”‘Octavia?’ The redhead squinted his eyes.What was her intention by releasing such a post?“Get out.” He ordered and in less than seconds, the manager was scrambling out, happy to be out of the intimidating man's presence.Just as the door closed, Lucien picked up his office phone and dialed the HR number. On the first beep, as expected, the line was answered.Without a second to spare, he commanded. “Fire the PR manager and have someone take over immediately.”After that, he hung up and was back to work, scrambling through letters and files until a certain one caught his attention.He peeled it open and read through what was written, the c

Alexandra had a dream. She couldn’t quite figure out the details as all was blurry, but she remembered the incidents transpiring in her dream.In a flash, her fifteen years of love-filled and peaceful life was destroyed.And In the darkest moment of her life, when everything felt like it was about to end, that’s when he showed up and tore into her dark space, brightening it up.The man who gave her hope once more.Lucien Albrecht.…..At the sound of her alarm, Alexandra’s eyes fluttered open, giving way for a captured tear to slip out.For the first time in a long while, she had dreamed about that day.Gently silenced her alarm, she moved to her bathroom, getting dressed for her work. But among all, certain thoughts lingered in her mind, disrupting the peaceful flow of her day.Why… Why now of all days had she dreamt about her ex husband?That man she had decided to forget.The dream left the pit of her stomach tingling with uneasiness, which somehow kept her foot rooted to the floor

Why was he here?What was he doing here?In the briefest seconds of their encounter, these questions kept playing in Alexandra’s mind.And as quickly as she could react, she pulled away from Lucien’s hold, almost stumbling back as she did so.The action, however, made Lucien’s heart clench, something he was only experiencing for the first time since his knowing her.The woman before him looked exquisite, very little of anything resembling Ariadne.But without a doubt-when he held her in his arms, he could tell the female was his ex wife.Her once brown hair flew freely around her shoulders, instead of her usual meek dressing.The blonde adorned a crimson red one piece suit and a pair of matching heels. Her face had little to no makeup, but her tanned skin looked lovelier than ever. Lucien was genuinely stunned by her glow up.In the short time since she had disappeared, she had glown up like a real life princess. Even Lucien, the man who she had lived with for almost five years, could

“Ariadne!”On hearing his call, Alexandra harshly yanked her arm free, taking cautious steps back, and her assistant Michael taking several forward to serve as a protective shield.How dare he call her that name after all the things? The name he forced her to abandon.However, seeing Michael shrinking under the stern eyes, Alexandra finally waved the innocent assistant away.Why should she avoid it? She is Alexandra Grey, not his wife Ariadne Albrecht anymore.“Mr. Albrecht, please mind the way you behave in public.”Discarding her warning, Lucien charged on, plummeting her with questions. “Ariadne, what sort of a joke are you playing now?”“I wish I could ask you the same question, but sadly I don’t have time to waste now. Leave me, Mr. Albrecht.” Alexandra coldly retorted, once again surprising Lucien.“Answer the question, Ariadne!”“Alexandra.” She deadpanned. “My name is Alexandra not Ariadne. Ms. Grey to you or better, President Grey would suffice, Young Master Albrecht.” She pu
