Her Biggest Regret

For five years, Lucas Hale devoted his entire life to his wife, Isabella Sterling, one of the most powerful female CEOs in Aurelia. He abandoned his promising career, sacrificed his ambitions, and became the perfect husband and father, believing that one day Isabella would finally love him as much as he loved her. But he was wrong. On their fifth wedding anniversary, Lucas prepared a romantic candlelit dinner, expecting to celebrate the woman he had loved for years. Instead, Isabella chose to spend the evening celebrating her first love's birthday. Worse, their twin sons stood beside her, treating another man like their real father. When Lucas confronted her, Isabella accused him of being jealous and unreasonable. That night, something inside him finally died. After five years of fulfilling an arrangement made with Isabella's mother, Lucas decided he had suffered enough. He would divorce his wife, walk away from the family, and reclaim the life he had abandoned. Isabella thought he was merely throwing another tantrum. She believed he would eventually come crawling back, just as he always had. But she underestimated the man she had spent five years overlooking. The moment Lucas left, he returned to the world of technology, where his extraordinary intelligence and unfinished dreams quickly attracted attention. He became a name powerful corporations could no longer ignore. Then Isabella began to realize what she had lost. The husband she once dismissed was now a man she could barely reach. Her first love was not the perfect man she remembered, and the family she had tried to build without Lucas was slowly falling apart. But when she finally begged him to return, Lucas had already found a reason to smile again. She had five years to love him. Now she would have to live with losing him.
