Winning Back the Husband

After graduation, I struggle to find a job, while my girlfriend easily lands a position at a major company. She has been with me for two years, and to cheer me up, she even lets me hold onto her payroll card. Once I finally start working, she worries about my long commute and immediately buys me a car. Everyone around us envies me for having such a thoughtful girlfriend. To save up for a house, I secretly deposit my salary into her account. A year later, we decide to get married. Excited, she grabs my hand and says, "I know you don't have much saved. I don't need any wedding gift. All I want is your love." I am deeply touched by her consideration. But on our engagement day, she pulls out photos of me with a dozen women and accuses me of cheating. I look closely and realize I have never even met any of them. Then she shows me my card's transaction history, filled with charges at the notorious Solara Club. "You had my payroll card, and you used my money to indulge yourself!" she cries. "I'm not marrying you. Return my car and all the money you spent over the years. It adds up to 800 thousand dollars." I calmly place the payroll card she gave me on the table and say with a smirk, "Fine, let's settle this properly." When I present the detailed account prepared by my top lawyer, she is stunned.

Chapter 1
"Charles York, congratulations! You must have done something great in your past life to end up with a wonderful girlfriend like Stella Smith!" one voice spoke."Seriously. She's gorgeous, has a steady career, and is completely devoted to you. We're all insanely jealous," another said.At the engagement banquet, my college roommates crowded around me, passing me one drink after another. I kept smiling, but a wave of bittersweet warmth rose in my chest. They were right. Getting engaged to Stella felt like the greatest luck of my life.A year ago, I had just graduated. I was full of ambition, yet every resume I sent out sank without a trace. I spent most days sinking into discouragement in my tiny, rented apartment.Stella, who worked as a team lead in a major company, stood firmly by my side through it all. She never complained. Instead, she pressed her payroll card into my hand."Charles, don't stress out. Take this card. The password is your birthday. A man trying to build a caree

The guests immediately burst into murmurs. I stared up at the screen, completely stunned. I had never seen these women or those places in my life."Who are they? Do you want to explain this?" Stella demanded, gritting her teeth."I don't know them! That isn't me!" I protested, my voice shaking with panic."Not you?" She let out a sharp, bitter laugh. She grabbed a thick stack of bank statements and threw them onto the table.She said, "Then take a look at this. These are the spending records from the payroll card I gave you. For the past year, every big transaction has been at the Solara Club or Golden Palace. Each visit costs thousands of dollars. "Charles, do you know how much I earn? You really used my hard-earned money to entertain these women?"The Solara Club had a reputation as the sleaziest place in the entire city, the kind of place any respectable man avoided.The room erupted with judgmental whispers. "My Goodness, you really never know someone.""After everything S

My calmness caught everyone completely off guard."Settle accounts? How are you even going to do that? Can you pay? Don't think you can bluff your way out! If you don't have the money today, we'll call the police and report you for fraud!" one of her friends shouted."Exactly! A man living off a woman sure has the nerve to argue here!" another added.The crowd's laughter and jeers kept rising, but I ignored them. I pulled out my phone and made a call. "Mr. Reid, you can come in now."Moments later, the banquet hall doors swung open. A poised, sharp-looking middle-aged man walked in. Owen Reid, my layer, walked straight to my side and placed a document on the table, sliding it toward Stella."Ms. Smith, regarding the financial dispute between you and my client, we've prepared a detailed account. Please review it," he said.Stella froze, staring at the papers, hesitant to even touch them."First, the car. Its value was 230 thousand dollars," Owen said as his assistant projected a

I followed Stella's gaze and saw her direct superior, the company's vice president, Lucas Moore. He was standing there, face pale, eyes wide with shock."Mr. Moore, you have to help me!" Stella stumbled toward him, clinging to him like a last lifeline. Lucas instinctively tried to step back, but she grabbed his arm tightly."Mr. Moore, this was all your idea! You told me to get rid of Charles, this useless man, and take money from him. You promised…" she said."Enough! Stella, have you lost your mind? You mismanaged your own private life, slandered your ex-boyfriend, and now you're trying to drag me into this?" Lucas yanked his arm free, panic flashing across his face before he forced a harsh tone.He turned to Owen and me, forcing a smile. "Mr. York, Mr. Reid, this is purely a personal issue with Stella. It has nothing to do with our company."No one in the room was fooled. Seeing this, everyone understood immediately."So, it was a setup between the two of them! How cruel," som

That single sentence hit the banquet hall like a bomb."Son? Charles… is Benjamin's son?" Stella stared at me, then at Dad, as if trying to find some sign of deceit on my face."No… No way… This can't be! He told me he was an orphan! His parents died in a car accident when he was little!" she screamed, hysterical.I looked at her coldly and spoke for only the second time since all this began. "Yes, I said my parents died, because the day I chose to live on my own, the identity of the Shine Corporation heir was already dead to me," I said deliberately, word by word."I wanted someone who would love me for who I am, not for my family or money. I thought I had found that," I continued.My gaze swept across her pale, terrified face, full of disappointment and scorn. "Now I see… I was the one who was blind."Her knees gave out, and she collapsed to the floor, muttering, "The heir… You're the heir… How could this be…"She suddenly remembered something. She scrambled to my feet, clutch

The day after I returned to Shine Corporation, Dad summoned me directly to the CEO's office. He said it was time for the heir to step into his role. I looked at the mountain of files and the packed schedule in front of me and felt completely overwhelmed."Dad, I just got back. I don't know the operations yet," I said."Then learn," he replied simply, pointing to the door. "You have a capable assistant. Ask her if you need anything."The door opened, and a woman in a sharp professional suit stepped in. She had an air of quiet authority. Gold-rimmed glasses framed her sharp eyes, and her long hair was neatly tied back."Mr. York. I'm Larissa Hewitt, the Chief Executive Assistant assigned to you by the Chairman," she said. Her voice was calm and precise, just like her appearance. There was no extra emotion.I nodded. "Hello, Ms. Hewitt."From that day on, almost every day was spent under Larissa's guidance.She was like a perfectly tuned machine. She anticipated problems before I e

I attended the banquet as a representative of Shine Corporation. Amid the clinking of glasses, I noticed someone I did not expect.It was Stella. She had lost a lot of weight, and the innocent look she once had was gone. Her makeup was heavy and striking. The tight red dress she wore highlighted her curves, but it carried the faint scent of a life gone astray.She was linking arms with a stout middle-aged man, laughing with exaggerated charm. He was a well-known real estate tycoon in the city, named William Short, notorious for his womanizing ways.When she saw me, her body stiffened, and her smile froze. William followed her gaze, noticed me, and immediately forced a flattering grin."Well, well, if it isn't Mr. York. What an honor," he said.I nodded faintly in acknowledgment."Mr. York, let me introduce my new companion, Stella," William added, lightly patting Stella's hand with a lewd tone.Stella's face paled, but she did not dare to argue. I could only feel the irony. The

"I didn't expect to see you here," I said to Larissa."I'm in charge of promoting this project, so I need to follow it all the way," she replied with a smile and handed me a bottle of water. "Looks like you drank quite a bit. Here, have some water.""Thanks," I said, taking it. We stood side by side by the lake."You did really well. This deal wouldn't have been possible without you," I said."You gave me the opportunity," she said softly, looking down.We were quiet for a moment. The air between us felt slightly charged."Oh," she said suddenly, as if she had remembered something. She reached into her bag and took out a small gift box. She handed it to me. "This is for you. Consider it congratulations for the successful deal."I opened the box and discovered a beautifully crafted pen, engraved with the initials C.Y."I designed it myself. I hope you like it," she said, scratching her head a little and looking shy.I held the pen in my hand. It felt cool, yet it carried a stra

After that day of honesty, my relationship with Larissa grew naturally. It was not dramatic, just steady warmth and understanding that deepened over time. She could read every glance I gave, and I had grown accustomed to her quiet care. We worked together, ate together, and discussed the future.Six months later, I proposed. It was a simple moment in the office where we often stayed late. No flowers, no diamond ring, just my sincere heart. She looked at me, eyes shining with tears, and nodded.We scheduled our wedding for early autumn. The day was bright and sunny, with friends and family gathered. I stood at one end of the red carpet, watching Larissa walk toward me in her white gown, escorted by Dylan. Her smile radiated happiness, and she looked breathtaking. This time, I knew I had made the right choice. Just as the priest was about to announce the exchange of rings, chaos erupted.A disheveled woman in torn clothes broke past security and ran onto the stage. It was Stella. Sh
