Report
Julian Seibert and I had been stuck in a divorce battle for six months. We'd gone from Auremont City's favorite young couple to the couple everyone knew was at each other's throats. Thirty minutes before our third hearing, Julian asked to meet me. He rubbed his forehead, unable to hide the exhaustion on his face. "It's time to end this. Winnie can't wait any longer. "Name your price. Whatever you want, I'll agree to it." Before I could answer, his phone rang. Julian picked up, a soft smile crossing his face without him even realizing it. "Don't worry. It's no big deal. I'll just give her a little more money. I'll be done soon. Be good and wait for me at home." I looked at the face I knew so well, yet barely recognized, and suddenly had no fight left. "Forget it. "Julian, there's no point dragging this out. I agree to the divorce."

His messy hair stuck to his forehead.His eyes were sunken.His face was pale, like he'd just gotten over a serious illness.His lips were cracked, and dark stubble covered his jaw.Panic flashed in his eyes.He quickly raised a hand to hide his face.Too late.People nearby stopped."Isn't that Julian Seibert?""I think it is. Oh my God, what happened to him?""Quick, get a picture! That's the cheating CEO from Lumora Corp!"The whispers spread fast.More and more people pulled out their phones to take pictures and record.A crowd closed in around him.A few content creators had already pulled out portable gear and started livestreaming.I smiled."Now you know what it feels like to get torn apart online."Then I stepped back and blended into the crowd.Airport security and patrol officers rushed over.Reporters came out of nowhere, shoving microphones in his face."Mr. Seibert, what are your plans now that Lumora Corp has filed for bankruptcy?""Are you and Winni

I went home and started packing.Seven years of memories disappeared into cardboard boxes, one piece at a time.My wedding veil had yellowed with age.The dinnerware we'd picked out together was missing a piece.I didn't want the rest.The honeymoon souvenirs were covered in dust.I left almost everything behind.There wasn't much worth taking.But I still remembered so much.The good.The bad.The sweet.The painful.It didn't matter.One day, I'd forget it all.***The day of my flight was unusually clear.The sky was bright blue, and sunlight poured through the terminal.I rolled my suitcase toward security.My steps felt so light, it didn't feel like I was leaving Floravia for a new country.It felt like I was finally putting down a weight I'd carried for way too long.Then I stopped.Someone I recognized stood near the hallway to security.Julian leaned against a pillar, his cap pulled low.He wore a black hoodie.Nothing like the polished executive he use

Several major partners rushed to cut ties with Lumora Corp.Banks tightened its credit lines.Suppliers packed the entrance, demanding payment.The once-untouchable Lumora Corp empire was starting to crumble.Winnie panicked and posted several long, emotional statements overnight.On social media, she wrote:[Julian is too kind. He always takes the blame for everything.][He made those statements under pressure. They're not true.][Please don't let the internet fool you. Don't destroy a good man.]But the posts vanished soon after.The platform said they'd been removed for false information after a complaint.The reporting party?Lumora Corp.Not long after, I received a video of Winnie storming into Julian's office.She screamed like she'd lost it, kicking over the trash can by the door."Why did you report my posts? I was trying to help you! Have you lost your mind? Do you even know what you're doing?"She grabbed Julian's sleeve, her nails digging into his arm.Juli

He stood in the doorway, his face dark as a storm.His grip on Winnie's wrist was so tight, she cried out."What are you doing?"His voice was low, every word forced through clenched teeth.His eyes were ice-cold.And this time, they were on Winnie.She flinched, all that attitude disappearing instantly.Tears welled in her eyes as she pressed her lips together."I just couldn't stand watching everyone attack you online..." Her voice shook. "Do you know how much that hurt me? I got so angry, I came here to confront her..."Her voice was soft and tearful.Nothing like the woman who'd been trashing my place seconds ago.Julian let go of her wrist and rubbed his forehead."This has nothing to do with you. Go home."His tone left no room for argument.Like he was dismissing a stranger.Winnie froze.Tears streamed down her face."But, Julian—""Go home."This time, his voice was even colder.Winnie shot me one last glare.Jealousy.Resentment.And fear she couldn't h
