All Chapters of Love Like the Stars: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

On the night of my 30th birthday, I waited until the early hours of the morning, but my husband, Theodore Hawk never showed up. Instead, I came across an Instagram post from his childhood sweetheart, Emily Gallagher.[What romantic is not the starry night, it's having you by my side.]In the picture, she was wearing a delicate, sky-blue camisole that revealed just enough to charm and seduce. A man stood close behind her, his hand firmly gripping her waist.The scene was set in the seaside villa that Theodore had gifted her, their figures intimately entwined under the soft glow of the night. Someone had commented beneath the post:[I can’t stand you two being this lovey-dovey all the time! Just get married already!]Emily had responded with a shy-face emoji.I had just liked the post when Theodore, who I had failed to reach all night, blew up my phone with calls."Are you out of your mind, Camilla? Emi and I grew up together! If we wanted to be together, we would’ve done so long

As soon as I opened my Instagram, I noticed a post from Emily. [Thank goodness I have you to comfort me.]The accompanying photo showed her in her kitchen, where Theodore was preparing porridge. Seeing the flood of envious comments below, I silently wiped away the tears that gathered at the corners of my eyes. Once, when I was bedridden with a high fever, I begged him for just a cup of hot water, but he refused. Now, he was happily cooking for Emily.I suddenly realized I couldn't wait any longer. I looked at the e-ride app on my phone, which showed the car I had been trying to hail for ages still hadn’t arrived. Determined, I braved the pouring rain and walked toward the bus stop. Although it was only a few dozen meters away, each step felt like miles.Large raindrops hammered down on me, and with every step, a sharp pain surged through my abdomen. I pressed a hand against my belly, my face pale, a bandage still wrapped around my head. Many people on the bus noticed m

“Impossible! I saw her change her sanitary pad in the restroom just yesterday,” he protested. The doctor shot him an exasperated glance, but Denise shoved him aside. She seized the surgery consent form from the doctor and began to sign it. “Don’t mind him, Doctor. He’s a lunatic. Just make sure she’s fine even if you can’t save the baby.” Ignoring Theodore, the doctor hurried off with the signed consent, heading straight for the operating room. Theodore turned to Denise and seized her hand. “Why would you say that? Do you have any idea how long we’ve waited to have a child?” he asked desperately.Without hesitation, Denise delivered a swift kick to his knee, causing him to wince in pain, and followed up with a sharp slap to his cheek. “Why? Because on the Valentine’s Day, you were with your little sweetheart, not her! Because you even dared to lay a hand on her! Listen closely, Theodore: if any harm comes to Camilla, I swear I won’t let you off the hook!”Theodore seeme

Theodore appeared reluctant to let go. Just as we were about to exit the courthouse, he reached out to grab my hand.I shook him off, and he stared at me with wounded eyes. "Camilla, please…" I ignored him and strode out of the courthouse, determined to move on with my life. Once I had almost fully recovered, I took the plunge and applied for a position at the largest rival company to Hawk Corporation: Phoenix Enterprise. The idea of us going our separate ways after the divorce was something I never thought would happen. I had endured too much suffering for it to be for nothing. I aimed to stand in direct opposition to the Hawk family and bring them down! Having graduated from a top university and accumulated several years of experience at Hawk Corporation, I knew my resume looked particularly impressive. This certainly facilitated a smooth interview process, culminating in the final interview where Albus Winters, the CEO of Phoenix Enterprise, personally assessed me
