“I am sorry but I can no longer do this anymore” And by this I mean this Relationship. You have been too busy for me and I feel you appreciate your work more than you do me and I do not deserve that. So I think it’s best we end this now.
I stared at him while he ripped my heart to pieces throwing all our memories away and goingaway on the basis of “me being too busy” I just want to be the CEO how is that being too busy.
It’s been One Month since Brian left without looking back. It has been hard but yet I have been healing and working through it. Thankful for work that has been a great source of distraction. Everybody has heard of the breakup and although I know they have questions but I like the fact that nobody has choose to say anything about it they are just walking on eggshells around me and I think I actually appreciate that because I am not ready to confront those feelings at all.
Eight years of commitment,8 years of good memories. We have been together since College where we met at business school. Brian walked into the class being the golden boy and all and naturally I was immediately attracted to him because him being the golden boy I had to keep my cool because he will definitely be flocked by different girls and even though I was the daughter of one of the top conglomerates in business still did not take away my shyness.
Was ready to hide my feelings until we were paired for an assignment and then we started talking I do not know if to call it fate or coincidence but it was a beautiful love story from then on till we graduated and started working. I even helped set him up in a position in my dads business and everyone in my family loved him and we were planning for wedding till this bombshell.
I have always wanted to be the CEO of DREAMSPACE. I am currently the CFO but as rights of the only daughter and child to My parents I will say I am the rightful heir but I didn’t want that to be that situation I wanted everyone to see that I worked for that position and it did not just come from being “daddy’s little princess” because they all called me that and I will not deny I was a bit spoilt from my parents but I was still hardworking and also very determined to do it on my own.
For the past few months I will admit I have been quite busy with my job because I feel the time is coming near as my dad (The current CEO) is getting older and wants to retire although I know the main reason is so he can spend more time with his wife ( My mother) such an obsessed man and I love it for them. I want a love like theirs and I love my parents for raising me with so much love In their hearts and doing everything for me. My parents are my role models.
Brian was a dream come true and I thought I will finally get my Happy ending but he comes with “I have been you busy” what does that even mean? And he knows how I desperately wanted ceo position and all my dreams. I really thought he was supportive. I actually been feeling so sad but I refuse to confront those feelings.
It is a new day today and I am off to work to be busy again. I moved back to my parents house because I do not want to be alone and I basically lived with Brian because we all thought it was endgame. Even I thought so too oh well.
Frankly speaking I barely enjoy my interactions at work but I just have to suck up to it. I only have my “work bestie” she is my personal assistant but she has become a close friend and confidant to me also. Angela is such a beautiful soul though i have noticed she also has been walking on eggshells around me since the break up happened and frankly I appreciate it but I just still want her to say something about it probably that will be the breaking point for me to finally let me say all I have been feeling.
I get to work for another gloomy day to catch up and try my best so I can be seen as worthy for the CEO position finally. Less than few minutes I get to work I get a call from my actual Bestie Katy, she is a lifestyle influencer and a traveler. We have not caught up in a while due to my whole ghosting of everyone and trying to “heal”. So it does not come to a surprise when she asks about Brian but this time and first time since it happened I can finally admit “We broke up” and without tears or me breaking down into tears. That is progress I think ? Well she screams a lot of profanity and with various threats of wanting to “kill him” but I know it will be hard on her too because they were very close and she will be having to choose who to submit her loyalty to.
The call goes off after me asking about her work and diverting the whole break up topic and she giving me updates on her new “flavor” for the week during her travels but she ends with a promise to visit soon and I appreciate the call.
Angela comes to call me for a meeting in the boardroom and I am surprised because I was not expecting any meeting so but I pack my things and go either ways.
I step into the room and go take my seat and that is what when I do notice HIM sitting across me. What is He doing here ?

In the name of vows CHAPTER 85
Chapter 85Adrian povAdrian sat at his desk in the quiet of his study. The city outside glimmered faintly, the lights of Adove’s towering building reflecting against the glass like scattered stars. The hum of distant traffic, the occasional honk, and the low murmur of New York city at night created a backdrop of stillness that he almost welcomed. Almost.Tonight, however, the usual comfort of solitude felt different. It wasn’t calm rather it was reflective, tense, full of thought. He had spent days, even weeks, replaying every moment with Christine at the lake house. Her voice, her words, her guarded expressions and all of it haunted him, but not in a way that twisted him with anger. No, it was a sharper, more dangerous feeling it was a mix of awe and fear, respect and regret.For once, Adrian wasn’t thinking like a CEO. He wasn’t thinking about board meetings, profit margins, or the future of Adove. He wasn’t thinking about strategic decisions or corporate dominance. He was thinking

Chapter 84Christine’s povChristine stepped off the train and felt the city swallow her whole. The familiar hum of traffic, the low chatter of people on the sidewalks, the smell of wet sand and early coffee all this should have felt comforting. It didn’t. Instead, it left a hollow ache in her chest. The emptiness she had carried since leaving the lake house felt sharper here, where every building and street corner reminded her of him.She hugged her coat closer around her, though the weather was mild. Her mind replayed every word from their conversation from the confession to the truths, the pain in his eyes, and the weight of her own. She had come seeking answers and had received them. But answers didn’t undo hurt. They didn’t erase betrayal. They didn’t make her trust him again.In thst lake house she has almost let her guard down and wanted them to go back to how they were before everything but she couldn’t still get past the betrayal and the lack of trust in her in not allowing h

Chapter 83AdrianThe door closed behind Christine, soft but final. Adrian stood there long after she disappeared into the early morning darkness, his chest tight and his breath uneven. He didn’t move. He didn’t speak. He just simply stared at the empty doorway where the last piece of her warmth had slipped away.Her words still clung to the air like cold smoke.“You don’t get to buy forgiveness with truth.You’ll have to earn it. Slowly.Without control. Without games.”He had never been spoken to like that not by anyone and especially not by her. Not with such quiet certainty. Christine wasn’t angry. She was resolved. And that terrified him more than her anger ever could.For the first time in a long time, Adrian felt completely powerless.The lake house was silent around him, the kind of silence that made a man confront every thought he had avoided. The faint glow of morning light pushed through the windows, washing the room in pale gold. Nothing felt real. Nothing felt steady.Adria
In the name of vows CHAPTER 82
Chapter 82Christine Christine’s boots clicked softly on the wooden floor as she stepped into the lake house. The place was all too familiar. The walls smelled faintly of pine and old wood, the kind of smell that pulled memories forward before she was ready for them. Her arms were crossed over her chest, not to keep warm, but to keep herself steady. She was here for one reason only that was answers. Not forgiveness. Not reconciliation. Answers.The room was dim, lit by the dying embers of the fire Adrian had carefully prepared. He stood near the fireplace, his posture rigid but his face softer than she remembered. He looked up when she entered, and for a moment, the years they had known each other, the years of friendship and tension and love, pressed into the space between them.“Christine,” he said quietly, almost as if saying her name alone could make everything right.She didn’t answer. Instead, she let her eyes travel across the room, noticing the way he had arranged the chairs,

Chapter 81AdrianThe road to the lake house was quiet. Too quiet for my liking. Adrian drove slowly, his hands firm on the steering wheel, his jaw tight. The sun was already soft and low, turning the sky a pale gold that gently touched the tops of the tall trees. But nothing inside him felt calm. Every turn, every curve of the narrow forest road made his chest feel tighter. He could hear his heartbeat faster than usual.He was not afraid of the road.He was afraid of what waited at the end of it.Or rather, who might not be there.The lake house sat deep inside the woods, a place that held more memories than any other part of his life. A place that once felt safe. A place that once felt like home because she had been part of it. Now he did not know what it would feel like. He only knew he needed to see her. Needed to talk. Needed to finally tell the truth without hiding behind pride, control, or power.He slowed the car when the house came into view. The wooden cabin stood near the e

Chapter 80 Christine The world always seems to find out before I do.By the time I reach my office that morning, the headlines are already everywhere in the company flashing across news feeds, investor bulletins, social media threads that dissect every word like blood in the water.“Brian hale exposed; Financial sabotage within Dreamspace uncovered.”“Whistleblower inside source; Christaina Paige’s husband company Adrian kellerhams Adove protect Dreamspace assets . Is this declaration of love ?”“Christine kellerham formerly Paige ; The woman at the center of corporate scandals.” My name again. Always my name.Angela comes to her office she looks pale as she sets a stack of newspapers on my desk. “I tried to stop the reporters, Christy but they’ve been calling nonstop since sunrise. They’re saying—”“I’ve seen it,” I interrupt softly, fingers tightening around the paper. “Thank you, Angela. You can take the rest of the day off.”She hesitates, worry clouding her eyes. “Are you sur
