Madeline turned, stared at him for a moment, then nodded firmly. “I won’t falter, Nathaniel.”

A faint smile returned to the man’s face. There was an unconcealable pride in his eyes, pride at seeing the woman beside him now standing with her head held high, no longer someone to be protected, but someone capable of standing on equal footing with him.

 He straightened himself and extended his hand to help Madeline out of the car.

Madeline got out first, dressed in an elegant, soft cream-colored work suit. Her hair was neatly styled in a low bun, her face calm yet dignified. Behind her, Nathaniel walked side by side, his trademark cold expression only making everyone even more tense and captivated.

The two of them walked to the elevator, and as soon as the doors closed, the lobby erupted in a clamor. "Oh my God, she's so beautiful! No wonder the President Director is in love!

  • Left by My Fiancé, Loved by His Uncle   49

    Sonia stormed out of the ARS Company building, a cardboard box clutched tightly in her arms, filled with the personal belongings she had just cleared from her desk. Her hair was a mess, her lipstick slightly smeared her face with a mixture of anger, fear, and despair. As she walked down the corridor, whispers followed her, but Sonia didn’t care. There was only one thing on her mind Ethan.The late afternoon air felt heavy as Sonia stepped through the main doors of ARS Corporation. The sun was dipping westward, casting golden light across the glass façade of the towering building, the very place that had once symbolized her pride, and now, the place that had swallowed her whole.Her hands trembled as she tried to balance the box. Inside were fragments of her career achievement photos, her favorite coffee mug, and a plaque that had once filled her with pride. Now, they felt like mockery.Her heels clicked sharply against the marble floor, echoing thro

    The morning sky was still veiled in a thin mist when the black car Nathaniel drove stopped in front of the ARS Corporation building. Madeline gazed at the towering structure through the window, her breath catching for a second. Even after a sleepless night of preparation, tension still weighed heavy on her chest. This wasn’t just another workday, this was the day of reckoning.Nathaniel turned off the engine and looked at her. “Are you sure you want to do this part alone at the start of the meeting?” he asked softly, his tone laced with worry. “I can present some of the data first if you want.”Madeline gave a faint smile, clutching the black folder tighter in her lap. “Thank you, but no. I want them to hear it directly from me. I’m the one who found it, so I’ll be the one to reveal it.”Nathaniel studied her for a moment before nodding slowly. There was something in his eyes a mix of pride and fear of losing

    Madeline frowned. She was certain it hadn’t been there before. Her hand trembled slightly as she picked it up and unfolded the delicate piece of paper inside.The handwriting was elegant, but the message chilled her blood,“Stop digging, or you’ll lose more than just your career.”Madeline stared at the note for a long time. There was no signature, no clue of who had sent it. But the style of the writing felt familiar, too polished, too confident. Sonia. No one else would dare write her a message like that, except someone who knew she was getting too close to something big.Her heartbeat quickened, but she forced herself not to panic. The meaning of the note was clear, Sonia suspected something. But sending a threat? That was reckless. And in Madeline’s world, a mistake like that could become a turning point.She looked at the note once more before folding it back and locking it inside her drawer. Her gaze harden

    The glow of Madeline’s laptop screen was the only light in her office that night. Outside, the city had long fallen asleep, but her eyes remained sharp, fixed on the numbers dancing across the screen. She had opened the financial report countless times since late afternoon, and the longer she studied it, the clearer it became that something was very wrong.Stacks of printed documents crowded her desk, the margins covered in red pen marks. Every piece of data pointed in the same direction of embezzlement. And not just a small amount. What caught her attention most was one name that appeared in every suspicious transaction, Sonia.Madeline frowned, staring at the report again in disbelief. Everything was too neat, too deliberate to be a simple clerical error. Each hidden transaction was buried among old projects, disguised under codes nearly identical to legitimate expenses. If she hadn’t noticed the small inconsistencies in the dates and digital signatures,

    Madeline continued, her tone calm. “But now I think maybe it’s not about becoming whole again. Maybe it’s about learning to live with the pieces that are left and turning them into something new.”Nathaniel smiled faintly, stopping beside the desk. “You always have a way of making complicated things sound beautiful,” he said quietly.Madeline let out a small huff. “That’s because I don’t have much choice but to try and understand them.”She turned fully toward him, meeting his gaze. There was a long pause between them, a distance that wasn’t entirely physical.“And you?” Madeline asked suddenly. “You look like someone who knows exactly what he wants. But… is that really true?”The question made Nathaniel fall silent for a moment. He looked out the window, toward the city slowly brightening under the morning light. “Maybe not,” he

    Madeline turned to look at him, her eyes reflecting the gentle light streaming through the window.“Even thought of something this small?”Nathaniel stepped closer, his voice calm but warm.“This isn’t something small, Madeline. You said you wanted to work. You wanted to stand on your own without depending on anyone. So I wanted to give you the space to do that.”Madeline fell silent, her chest warming. Everything she had dreamed of freedom, recognition, opportunity was now real, right in front of her. She walked toward the desk, brushing her fingertips over the nameplate, as if making sure it wasn’t an illusion.She looked at Nathaniel for a long moment, as if trying to read something hidden behind his composed expression. There was sincerity in his eyes, something deep that left her momentarily speechless.She slowly walked around the room, taking in every detail the file cabinet, the s
