Kate's POV That morning, sunlight slipped in through the gaps in the curtains, forcing me to open my eyes. After a long night of crying and confused thoughts, I felt tired and confused. “It's only a matter of days, but why are there still problems? As if the sky didn't want to let me end everything well. I just wanted to spend time with her, but that woman kept leaving me behind. It's as if everything was planned well," I muttered and cried again lamenting my very sad fate. My weak body made me reluctant to get out of bed. I just daydreamed looking at the white ceiling of the room. Not a single dust stuck to it. I turned towards the window which was not covered with curtains, letting in the already high sunlight. It used to feel like the warmth of the sun always made me excited to start the day. But now it only makes me feel sicker. I pulled the blanket back and covered my entire face. I didn't want to wake up and face the fact that I would lose Darwis. Even though I
Kate's POV I turned quickly and walked towards the door, but my steps stopped when I heard Darwis's deep voice behind me. “Kate, wait. Don't go like this," Darwis called, his tone full of despair. I turned around slowly, looking at him with eyes still wet with tears. “What else do you want to say, Darwis? You have made your choice clear.” Darwis approached, his eyes full of regret. “I know I've made a lot of mistakes. But believe me, I never wanted to hurt you like this. I'm just confused and don't know how to fix it.” I looked at him with sharp eyes. “Your confusion has ruined my life, Darwis. I don't know if there's a way to fix any of this.” Darwis took a deep breath, looking desperate. “I know you're angry, and you have every right to be angry. I just want us to try to solve this with cool heads. At least, to honor everything we've been through together.” I was silent for a moment, thinking about his words. Even though my heart is still full of hurt and disappoi
Darwis's POV I don't know why I was thinking for a long time, as if something had made my mind go blank so I didn't hear the cashier's call. "Mr. Darwis, this is Miss Kayra's total payment," he said in a loud voice and made me realize. "Ah, fine," I answered while handing him the debit card. Not long after, the cashier gave me my card back and a receipt for payment of Kayra's hospital fees. I sighed again and walked with heavy legs towards Kayra's room. When I entered, I saw Kayra who had changed out of her hospital clothes and was applying make-up to her still pale face. "Kayra, are you ready to go home?" I asked with a small smile even though my face must have looked very tired. Kayra nodded, although her face looked full of anxiety. “Yes, Darwis. I am ready." We walked out of the hospital, towards the car that was waiting in the parking lot. The ride home was awkward, and I could feel the tension between us. I tried hard to stay calm, but I realized that Kayra could
Kate's POVThe night before, after I returned from the Old Residence. Suddenly Erlan called me. Honestly, I'm too lazy to pick up the phone. Even though there is a feeling of longing because of my relationship with Erlan, who is quite close in sharing stories. My heart was in turmoil, and I decided to send him a chat to meet. It's better to meet in person than to talk on the phone. Now I'm at a bar where Erlan and I used to often come. I walked over to the bar table, there Erlan was waiting for me with a glass of whiskey in his hand. “Kate!” he greeted when he saw me coming. I just smiled and sat next to him. “I'll have a beer!” I said to the bartender and it was immediately made. Erlan turned his head in surprise because I don't usually drink large portions of beer. "What is this? Why did you order beer? Do you want to be unconscious in a place like this? Aren't you afraid of being kidnapped by the uncles who have been eyeing your arrival since earlier?" Erlan asked
Kate's POV "Yes, Dad. I'm back," I answered in a flat tone, restraining myself from getting caught up in emotions. Without saying much more, I stepped into the house. The servants immediately took care of my suitcase and belongings. I went to the room I had left a long time ago, a room full of childhood and teenage memories. The moment the bedroom door opened, I felt a wave of nostalgia. Everything is still the same, nothing has changed. Even my dead mother's things were still in their place. I walked over to the dressing table, where the family photos were neatly arranged. I saw my mother's always smiling face in the photo frame. Tears almost fell, but I held them back. I can't look weak. Not now. "I will make you proud, Mom," I whispered softly, keeping all the pain inside. That night, the atmosphere in my father's big house was very calm. Crystal chandeliers hang beautifully in the dining area, emitting a soft glow that creates an elegant atmosphere. The servants h
Darwis's POV I looked straight ahead, even though my mind was wandering somewhere. The silent and tense courtroom was now empty. The judge had banged his gavel, marking the end of my marriage to Kate. After years of being together, we finally officially divorced. It felt like a heavy weight had been lifted from my shoulders, but at the same time there was a feeling of emptiness that I couldn't explain. My steps felt heavy as I left the courthouse. Outside, the world continued to move as usual, as if nothing had changed. People walked by, cars passed by, and the sun was still shining brightly. But inside me, there is a storm brewing. I couldn't ignore the feelings of guilt and regret that gnawed at my heart. I thought about Kate, the woman I had been with for the past 2 years, and how we had gotten to this point. I walked aimlessly for some time, until finally I decided to go to Kayra's apartment. The woman who was my first love, the woman who made me make the decision to end my m
Darwis's POV I walked into the meeting room with mixed feelings. On the one hand, I feel relieved that this big project will finally start. On the other hand, there is an anxiety that I can't explain. After several months of emotional turmoil, I tried to focus on my work. I walked into the meeting room with my head held high, ready to face the challenge. As I sat and waited for the team from Branch Group to arrive, my thoughts drifted back to Kate. It's been several months since our divorce, and even though I've tried to move forward with Kayra, the shadow of my past with Kate still haunts me. I don't know what I would do if I met him again. The meeting room door opened, and in came the team from the Branch Group. In front of her, was a dignified woman who seemed very familiar with the space and situation. My heart stopped beating for a moment when I realized who the woman was. Kate.She walked confidently, her cold eyes looking straight at me. I couldn't believe what I
Darwis's POV After that tense meeting, I couldn't stop thinking about Kate. Her image kept bothering me, even when I tried to focus on my work. I sat at my desk, looking at the pile of documents I had to complete. My mind tried to process everything. Kate, the woman I once knew as a simple and loving wife, now stands as a figure full of authority and strength. Finally I decided to find out what really happened. In one month it would be impossible for Kate to become president of the company if it weren't for anyone else. Or... all the assets I gave her, she immediately bought shares in the company that was collaborating with my company? Meanwhile, I have to survive to be able to keep half of the assets I have because of the wealth that Kate asked for. Really, I don't believe that she can change in one month. I sent a message to my trusted person and found out what really happened. It didn't take long, I got the information I wanted. "Kate, the only daughter of Johan Mark,
