Evan stood before Aubrey, his heart heavy with remorse and regret. He looked into her eyes, filled with pain and the remnants of the hurt he had caused her. His voice quivered as he spoke, seeking her forgiveness."Aubrey, I... I don't even know where to begin. I am so sorry for everything, for not believing in you, for hurting you every day with my doubts and insecurities. I can't even fathom the pain I've caused you."Aubrey's tears flowed freely as she listened to Evan's words. She had longed for this moment, for him to acknowledge his mistakes and to genuinely seek forgiveness. But her heart still carried the scars of his betrayal."I will divorce you, you are free to go anywhere, and punish me as much as you want" Evan's head is down. Aubrey always look this man looking proudly now he is standing in front of head down. They both suffer equal. Evan never show but his heart his wounded.

"Aubrey," she exclaimed, her voice filled with both astonishment and pain, as she gingerly examined her burnt finger. Startled by a sudden shout, she had unintentionally touched the scorching hot pot while preparing breakfast for everyone. Without hesitation, she abandoned her cooking and hurriedly rushed out of the kitchen.Outside, Aubrey's gaze fell upon Grandma, Mrs. Cooper, the matriarch of the esteemed Cooper family, seated at the head of the dining table, surrounded by her kin.In an effort to present herself in the best light, Aubrey adjusted her delicate light blue floral dress and tucked her hair behind her ears. She fidgeted nervously with her fingers before mustering the courage to approach the dining table, positioning herself near Grandma's chair."Grandma," she spoke in a voice trembling with apprehension. Grandma raised her eyes momentarily before shifting her gaze to the wall clock, her face etched with bitterness."Is your breakfast ready, Aubrey?" Grandma inquired, h
Under the radiant noon sky, Aubrey immersed herself in her work, diligently attending to her tasks. Suddenly, the mellifluous ring of the telephone resounded through the air, instantly capturing her attention. In the household, only Aubrey and her grandmother resided, making her the sole recipient of the call.As she hurriedly reached for the phone, Aubrey's voice resonated with warmth and curiosity, "Hello?" Her gentle tone carrying a hint of anticipation."Hello, Aubrey. It's John speaking," a familiar voice emanated from the other end. John, Evan's trusted chauffeur, a person known to Aubrey."Yes, John?" Aubrey responded, her voice brimming with intrigue."Aubrey, Mr. Evan accidentally left his important meeting file at home. Could you kindly deliver it to him at the office?" John requested with a sense of urgency in his voice.Aubrey found herself hesitating, as she had never been to Evan's workplace before. Seeking guidance, she voiced her concern to John, "But John, how can I po
Fifteen years had passed since that fateful day when Aubrey, a mere five-year-old girl, experienced a life-altering event. Clutching tightly onto her small bag of groceries, she trudged homeward with her mother, their routine trip from the store taking an unexpected turn. Out of nowhere, a stray ball struck Aubrey on the head, causing her to stumble and drop the oranges she held. Overwhelmed by the sight of the scattered fruit, tears welled up in her eyes. But in that vulnerable moment, a young boy named Evan appeared, coming to her aid. With gentle care, he picked up each orange, returning them to her one by one. As Aubrey looked up at him, her face flushed crimson, and her heart raced. From that day forward, whenever she encountered Evan, her heart fluttered, and her cheeks blushed, causing her to seek solace behind her mother's protective embrace.Now, jolted awake by the sound of Evan's car pulling into the driveway, Aubrey sat up in bed, instinctively touching her head. It was dif
A week had passed since Cassie's unexpected return. Aubrey found herself immersed in her work, trying her best to remain focused and ignore the lingering presence of Evan in her thoughts. Deep down, she knew that Evan's heart still belonged to Cassie, their high school sweetheart. Together, they had been an iconic couple, the envy of their peers. Aubrey had been in the same high school, a silent observer of their seemingly unbreakable bond.In the kitchen, Aubrey grappled with a persistent leak from the tap that had plagued her since morning. With a determined effort, she managed to temporarily fix the issue, halting the incessant flow of water. Wiping her forehead, Aubrey heaved a sigh of relief, realizing that she needed to call a plumber to address the problem properly. Leaving the kitchen, she headed towards her room to retrieve her phone.Suddenly, a thunderous shout jolted Aubrey, causing her heart to skip a beat. Rushing back to the kitchen, she was taken aback to find Evan, cla
"What on earth is happening here? Why haven't we received our land yet?" Evan bellowed at his assistant, Alex, his frustration evident in his voice. "Director, Mr. Anderson is refusing to grant us the land," replied Alex. Evan stared at him incredulously and asked, "Why? We already signed the agreement." "Director, our rivals, the Patterson, have offered him double the amount of money we did. He is now wavering," Alex explained. Fueled by determination, Evan exclaimed, "I don't care. I want that land at any cost. Warn him that we will take legal action." Alex nodded and left the office, leaving Evan to his own thoughts. Seated in his chair, Evan rested his head on the headstand, closing his eyes. Today had been the worst day for him, with the land issue weighing heavily on his mind. Furthermore, he knew that when he returned home, he would have to confront his father.Twenty years ago, Evan was just a five-year-old boy filled with excitement as he earned the top rank in his class. He c
Aubrey found herself standing in Evan's room, where he sat nonchalantly upon a plush chair. A perplexed expression adorned Aubrey's face as she inquired, "Why do you claim that I am your wife in front of everyone?" Her words carried a tinge of confusion, stemming from her sudden acceptance as his life partner. Evan's gaze met hers, his hands clasping a bundle of documents."Well, I haven't exactly spoken a falsehood," he retorted, a faint hint of mischief playing on his lips. Aubrey furrowed her eyebrows, puzzled by his response. Sensing her bewilderment, Evan stepped closer, extending the documents toward her. Aubrey's eyes darted to the papers in her hands, seeking answers."These are contractual agreements," Evan explained, his gaze fixed upon her. His demeanor was cool and detached, devoid of any discernible emotion. Aubrey stared back, her countenance conveying a mixture of disbelief and amusement. The question lingered in her mind: Why was he orchestrating such a charade?"If you
DinnerThe entire Cooper family gathered around the dining table for a formal dinner, and this marked the first time Aubrey found herself seated among them, right next to Evan. As the dishes were being served, Mr. Davis Cooper, the patriarch of the family, turned his attention toward Aubrey and initiated a conversation."So, Aubrey, what do your parents do?" Mr. Davis inquired, his tone filled with genuine curiosity. Before Aubrey could respond, Evan interjected, cutting off her opportunity to answer."She's an orphan," Evan declared abruptly, not giving Aubrey a chance to speak. Aubrey's shy smile instantly vanished, replaced by a hint of discomfort. She glanced at Mr. Davis and simply nodded, not wishing to delve into the subject further. Mr. Davis, noticing the sudden change in her expression, smiled kindly at her and shifted the conversation."And where did you graduate from university?" he asked, attempting to continue the dialogue. Evan, however, seemed disinterested in the topic
