A One-Night Stand With Her Ex-Husband Dropping the Bomb
The lights in the room suddenly went out. A spotlight cut through the darkness, illuminating the spiral staircase.A red carpet lined the stairs, and fresh flowers were wrapped around the banisters. Mandy descended slowly, wearing a dazzling red mini dress, a glittering crystal crown atop her head, and sky-high red heels that clicked delicately with every step.Edric stepped forward and offered his hand to guide her down. She flashed him a flirtatious smile. Edric gently held her hand."My princess, happy birthday," he whispered, before planting a soft kiss on her cheek.They looked like a prince and princess straight out of a fairytale. The scene was picture-perfect, and the applause thundered through the room.Cynthia watched the whole display. Watched the man who had been part of her entire youth now smiling so happily while holding another woman's hand, walking toward Thomas. Even though she had long considered Edric nothing more than trash, she couldn't stop the rush of emotions.

Cynthia's red lips had barely left his when the air in the grand hall froze solid. Stacey's face turned a deep shade of fury, her nails digging into her palms as though she were about to leap forward and tear Cynthia apart.Just then, Marcus appeared at the perfect moment, bowing respectfully."Young Master, Sir requests you and the lady in the study."Thomas's long-time assistant looked utterly composed, as if Cynthia had never left—still one of the rightful mistresses of the house.Lucien took Cynthia by the wrist and led her through the crowd. At the center of the ballroom, Mandy stared at their retreating figures with such intensity that her dance steps fell out of rhythm."That bitch's got you this distracted?" she hissed, her nails digging sharply into Edric's shoulder. "Don't forget who helped you get where you are."Edric tightened his grip on her waist, pulling her in during the spin. His voice was low against her ear."This arrangement was your idea. As for the BW position…"

Jay quickly tried to smooth things over."Lucien, apologize. Now!"Leo jumped in to help."The company can't run without Lucien, Dad. Please, calm down...""The company will collapse without him?" Thomas slammed the table."Are you saying there's no one else?! Are the rest of you useless?!"Jay and Leo both fell silent, inwardly cursing Thomas's favoritism. If Mandy really took over, what future would they have?Cynthia stood by coldly, waiting for Lucien's decision. His grip on her wrist was so tight it hurt—but then she heard him speak, calm and steady:"I only brought her here to let everyone know—I'm remarrying her. As for the CEO position... it's just a title." He gave a faint smile."There's no shortage of talent in the world. Grandpa can replace me anytime."With that, he turned and walked out, dragging Cynthia behind him—leaving behind a room full of stunned faces.Cynthia stumbled to keep up, her heart swirling with complicated emotions. Did this man truly just give up his fa
Last Updated : 2025-04-17A One-Night Stand With Her Ex-Husband Visiting Grandpa
Early the next morning, Cynthia woke to find Lucien already gone. He must have gone to the hospital to visit his grandfather.Although yesterday's confrontation had been satisfying, it had only intensified the conflict between Lucien and the Brown family. She didn't believe for a second that Lucien would give up his position as CEO of BW Group just to get back together with her, nor did she want to see Edric and Mandy gain anything from it.Did they really think that a few harsh words could just wipe the slate clean? What about all the humiliation, the pain, and the soul-crushing despair he had once inflicted on her? Was she supposed to just forget all of that?No. She would make him pay—twice over—for everything she had suffered. He would taste it all, and more.She went straight to the hospital. Just outside Thomas's room, she ran into Mandy, who was holding a bouquet of flowers."What are you doing here?" Mandy's face darkened."Visiting Grandpa," Cynthia replied with a smile. "Is

Inside the hospital room, Thomas leaned against the headboard, his sharp gaze slicing through Cynthia and Lucien like a blade."Lucien, get out," Thomas said, his tone leaving no room for argument.Lucien remained motionless until Cynthia softly said, "Let me talk to Grandpa alone." She met his eyes. "I know what I'm doing.""I'll be right outside," Lucien replied, turning to Thomas. "The doctor said you need rest." With that, he finally left.As the door shut, a vein throbbed visibly on Thomas's forehead. That boy was afraid he'd be too hard on the woman!"You're very capable," Thomas sneered. "You've got my most prized grandson wrapped around your finger. Six years ago, he rejected every heiress to marry you—a woman who wasn't even worthy of him. And what happened? You made him a laughingstock!"Every word was like a knife slicing through old wounds. Cynthia's fingers trembled slightly—she had never realized how much Lucien had endured back then."And now that he's finally rebuilt h
Last Updated : 2025-04-18A One-Night Stand With Her Ex-Husband A New Morning Routine
Cynthia's mornings now came with a new assignment: driving Lucien to work. But on the very first day, things nearly went sideways—they almost rear-ended the car in front.When she finally pulled up in front of the BW Building with a less-than-stellar parking job, Lucien calmly adjusted his cufflinks."Compared to that man," he said suddenly, his voice soft as a feather, "I treat you much better."Cynthia froze, her hands still on the steering wheel."Aren't you leaving?" Lucien opened the door and added, "Don't loiter here showing off that you're my woman."Only then did she notice the crowd of employees sneaking glances their way. Flustered, she slammed her foot on the gas. Two blocks later, she hit the brakes hard—wait a minute. Who was showing off?The realization struck her belatedly. Yesterday, she'd mentioned that Gerald had been too scared to get in a car she was driving. And today, this man was proving with actions that he was braver. That childish need to win...Her grip tigh

Cynthia had barely taken two steps into the parking lot when she froze in her tracks.A woman in loose lantern pants was leaning against her car. The brim of her baseball cap was pulled so low that only half of her pale face was visible. When the woman turned her head, Cynthia almost laughed out loud—Jacqueline, again.Since her scandal blew up online, she had practically vanished, leaving behind nothing but rumors.Those once-vacant eyes suddenly gleamed with venom the moment they locked onto Cynthia."Come to admire the gift from your ex?" Cynthia strolled forward and met her gaze. "It's mine now. You want a look? Ten grand per glance. That's generous, considering all those peeks you took before—those were free trials."Jacqueline suddenly lunged closer, a chill radiating off her. "You think you've won?" she sneered, then let out a manic laugh. "Haven't you noticed? We look so alike..."Cynthia studied the face that shared a st
Last Updated : 2025-04-19A One-Night Stand With Her Ex-Husband The Price of a Face
Cynthia glanced at the nearly untouched carrot dishes still sitting on the dining table and let out a bitter smile. Lucien hadn't come home all night—not a single call, not even a text.Standing in front of the bathroom mirror, she stared at her tired reflection and suddenly found it all laughable."What was I expecting?" she murmured to the woman in the mirror. "This was just a transaction."She had agreed to become his mistress for five million. Who knew how many other women he'd "collected" the same way? Taking her to the Brown estate... maybe that was just part of some elaborate revenge plot—to make her witness Edric, the man she once loved, now playing family with his cousin.Icy water splashed against her face as she scrubbed hard, as if trying to wash away the restlessness gnawing at her chest.Jacqueline's words echoed in her ears—"Once the real one shows up, you're just a knockoff."Maybe that was the key. Maybe sh

A One-Night Stand With Her Ex-Husband What Good Is the Truth?
Lucien grabbed her wrist, his grip so tight it nearly crushed the bone. "I told you—I don't need any damn test! Harley is my son!"Cynthia tilted her head up, her amber eyes almost translucent in the sunlight. "Just because I say so? Aren't you afraid I'm lying to you?""Of course I'm fucking sure!" He yanked her closer, his breath scorching her face. "Even if you told me Harley was someone else's kid, I'd still raise him as my own—because he came from your body!"His words landed like a punch to the chest. Cynthia's lashes trembled violently. She hadn't expected his obsession to run so deep."What? Calling me disgusting in your head again?" Lucien gave a hoarse laugh, his voice like sandpaper. "You said Harley would rather have a stranger as his dad than me. That almost made me kill someone. You'd rather claim he's a bastard than admit he's mine…" His fingertip brushed over her pale lips. "Am I really that repulsive to you?"It felt like an invisible hand clenched around her heart. C
A One-Night Stand With Her Ex-Husband Daddy's Cold War
Outside the door, Harley and Vicky were pressed up against it like two little mice sneaking oil, but no sound came through."Vicky," Harley whispered anxiously, lowering his soft little voice, "Is Mommy still mad at Daddy?"Vicky quickly reassured him, "Don't worry, Harley. I'm sure sir will make it up to ma'am." She'd sensed a shift in the air—Harley had started calling Lucien "Daddy." It looked like Mr. Lucien was well on his way to becoming the rightful head of the household.A sudden shiver ran down her spine. If sir caught them eavesdropping…"Sigh, I really worry about those two," Harley said with the maturity of an old man. "Vicky, make sure to get Daddy an extra blanket tonight.""Why's that?" Vicky whispered."Because Daddy's so clueless!" Harley threw his hands up, clearly exasperated with his father's lack of tact."What are you doing here?"A cold, sharp voice cracked through the hallway. Vicky nearly screamed in fright. She turned around and saw Simon glaring at them. Pan
A One-Night Stand With Her Ex-Husband A Father's Place
"Daddy, you must've made Mommy mad," Harley crossed his arms and sighed like a little adult. "She's ignoring you." He added with a worried look, "Gerald never dares to upset Mommy. The last time he did, she didn't let him through our front door for a whole month. Do you think she'll kick you out too?"Lucien crouched down to meet his son's eyes, catching a key word with razor-sharp precision: "Gerald… Daddy?" His voice sank, and his knuckles unconsciously tightened. That title pierced his chest like a thorn."He's been around since Mommy was pregnant with me!" Harley blinked, then leaned in mysteriously, curling a finger for Lucien to come closer. When Lucien obliged, the little boy's warm breath brushed against his ear. "He really likes Mommy, but she says he always brings around ugly weirdos." Then, tugging seriously on Lucien's tie, he warned, "If you act like him, Mommy won't want you either—and then I won't have a daddy again."Lucien's pupils constricted. He gently cupped the ba
A One-Night Stand With Her Ex-Husband A Father's Name
The sound of the door closing finally faded, and Cynthia opened her eyes in the darkness. Her lashes trembled, her gaze full of conflict and struggle piercing through the night.She knew Lucien's history with Jessica came before their reunion—but the sudden appearance of a child, that line about "peaceful coexistence," and his proposal for Jessica to get an abortion all pierced her heart like thorns. In the dark, she clenched her fists so tightly her nails dug into her palms.Twenty hours of being confined to the bed had left her legs numb. As she propped herself up against the headboard, she spotted a neatly folded dress nearby—its fabric carrying an unfamiliar warmth. The night outside was ink-dark, and then a child's voice suddenly pierced the silence:"Mommy! Mommy!"Staggering, Cynthia gripped the cold metal doorframe. Harley's voice, thick with sobs, crashed through the quiet. She fumbled the door open—and his small figure flung itself into her arms with such force they both tum
A One-Night Stand With Her Ex-Husband Only You
Lucien nearly crushed the steering wheel when he got Vicky's call. By the time he arrived, the scene in front of him made his blood run cold—Erica gripping a kitchen knife, dragging Cynthia behind her, Harley charging ahead with a broom, and Vicky chasing them in a panic. It looked like a total madhouse.Just as he got out of the car, he heard Harley's sharp little voice shout, "You big meanie!"A piercing screech of brakes tore through the air.A scooter came speeding from the side. Harley stood frozen in the bike lane, the broom falling from his hands with a clatter as he squeezed his eyes shut in fear."Harley!" several voices screamed in unison.Lucien moved on pure instinct. He lunged forward and scooped the child into his arms at the last possible second. They both crashed into the roadside bushes, dry branches tearing jagged scratches into his skin.Cynthia rushed over and grabbed Harley, her fingers trembling as she checked him all over. "Tell Mommy—does anything hurt?"Harley
A One-Night Stand With Her Ex-Husband The Last Straw
Cynthia raised her hand to hail a taxi to Erica's place, but before she could, a strong hand clamped around her wrist. Lucien was suddenly there behind her, his eyes a storm barely contained."You hate me that much?" he said hoarsely. "You can't even stand to stay one more minute?""Stay?" She let out a cold laugh. "What, to talk about how many mistresses you have? How many illegitimate children? Maybe we should count now, just so your grandfather won't have to bring them home one by one. That way, I'll know how many people I'm supposed to share you with!"Lucien's temple twitched with rage. "I told you, no one but you is worthy of having my child! You're the one who wanted her to keep it!""Oh, so now it's all my fault?" Cynthia's eyes turned red with unshed tears. "Should I thank you for giving me the exclusive privilege of bearing your children?"Her voice trembled. "You think an abortion makes it go away? And when the next one comes along, you'll have her abort it too, all for me?
A One-Night Stand With Her Ex-Husband Shadows of the Past
Back at the apartment, Cynthia walked straight to the bedroom without so much as glancing at Hogan."I'll find you some clean clothes,"she said."Um…"Hogan rubbed his nose, a sheepish smile spreading across his face. "If you've got any... new underwear..."Cynthia paused. "Take a shower first. I'll bring it over when I find some."Throughout the exchange, neither of them acknowledged Lucien, even though his shirtfront was just as soaked.Sensing the tension radiating from Lucien, Hogan raised his voice deliberately. "Lucien, I'm going to shower now~ Where are the slippers?""Let Stephen bring the underwear,"Lucien said coldly. "The only ones I have are ones I've worn."Hogan blinked. "There's a supermarket downstairs. They probably sell them—"Before he could finish, someone grabbed the back of his collar. Lucien was already dragging him toward the door."Go dry off outside.""She's
A One-Night Stand With Her Ex-Husband Blood and Betrayal
Lucien's expression shifted subtly as he stepped toward her. "We do have a son. His name is Harley."His gaze never left Cynthia's face, but she wouldn't spare him even a glance."Impossible!"Janet shrieked, springing to her feet. "You've been divorced for six years! That bastard could be anyone's—""Janet."Cynthia's glare was sharper than any knife. "You'll regret saying that."She turned to Lucien, her tone calm as if speaking of someone else's life. "I found out I was pregnant after the divorce. I gave birth to him alone… raised him alone..."Her voice finally trembled. "I never planned to let you know."Lucien recalled the strange sense of closeness he'd felt when he first met Harley. His heart was struck like a gong. She had borne all of this—alone."I know."He pulled her into his arms, his voice hoarse. "Harley is my son."Mandy approached slowly. Cynthia immediately noticed the brui
A One-Night Stand With Her Ex-Husband The Ultimate Betrayal
Cynthia had just stepped out of the kitchen when she nearly collided with Marcus, who stood at the doorway with a frail-looking girl. The girl kept her head down, her steps hesitant."Come in,"Marcus said, stepping aside. But when he looked up and saw Cynthia, his expression shifted dramatically.The girl slowly lifted her head, and the moment their eyes met, both she and Cynthia froze in place.That face—it looked so much like hers. Even more than Jacqueline ever had. Put them side by side, and no one would doubt they were sisters."Dinner's ready..."Lucien's voice came from behind, but at this moment, it sounded sharp and jarring."Lucien..."Tears welled up in the girl's eyes as she stared longingly at the man behind Cynthia, yet she didn't dare take a step closer.Cynthia turned and saw Lucien's face clouded with dark fury. She said softly, "She's here for you."His pupils contracted. He reached out for her,
