LAUREN'S POV

“I’ve divorced him,” I whispered to myself as though saying it aloud could make it feel more real, more justified. “I’ve divorced him. I don’t owe him anything anymore.”

But that excuse felt paper-thin. It was all still so new, the reality of being separated, of living without Ethan by my side. My life felt like an empty house I was still trying to walk through without bumping into walls.

“Stop thinking about Ethan in every sentence,” I muttered with a forced laugh. The sound was hollow in the quiet car. That was something Tessa would have told me if she were sitting beside me now, rolling her eyes and teasing me for being so dramatic.

But she wasn’t here. It was just me, my thoughts, and the echo of last night.

Would Elena be okay with what I did?

Her name brushed across my mind like a whisper, and my chest tightened. She always believed in me, always thought I was stronger than this. I wanted to be the woman she could look up to, not the one drowning in regrets.

    LAUREN'S POV “So in short, Ms. Lauren, I suggest you head back home today. Tell whoever you want to tell, give them a farewell goodbye, pack up and get ready, because you’re leaving as soon as possible,” the manager said with a stiff, professional tone that carried no room for argument. I blinked, my lips parting slightly as if I had misheard her. “If you don’t show up at the airport tomorrow,” the other guy seated beside her added, his voice sharper, “we’ll take it that you do not want to go, and that you’ve dropped your position as Business Development Manager.” My mouth fell open. “But…” I was immediately cut off by the manager, who didn’t even give me the courtesy of completing my sentence. “That would be all,” she said firmly. “Any further information will be sent to your email. Thank you.” The finality in her tone was like the slamming of a door in my face. Then, as if my presence in the room was now a burden, she tilted her head toward the door, gesturing for me to leav

    LAUREN'S POV “Wait… so what are you saying now?” I asked, my voice carrying more disbelief than I intended. My mind struggled to process what the manager had just said, as though the words had been spoken in a foreign language I didn’t quite understand. “Exactly what you heard,” the manager replied, her tone calm yet firm, as though this was a simple matter of business. “You’re being transferred to Italy to work for one of Hale Industries’ branches.” For a moment, all I could do was stare at her, then let my gaze shift toward the men seated across from her, their expressions unreadable, their silence almost oppressive. It felt like they had delivered a verdict, one that they expected me to accept without question. Italy. Did she really expect me to leave everything behind, to cross an ocean just for a job I had barely started? My chest tightened at the thought, my pulse racing as a wave of resistance surged through me. “Ma’am, with due respect… I don’t think that would be possib

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 073

    LAUREN'S POV Waking up today felt entirely different — lighter, calmer, far better than the way I had woken up yesterday with that hammering headache pounding behind my eyes. At least today I could open them without wincing, without the sharp sting of regret for a night I couldn’t remember. No confusion about how I had gotten into a strange room, no unfamiliar ceiling above my head. Just my own space, my own bed, and the fresh clarity of morning. Tessa had already left for work, her absence noticeable in the apartment. She was always up early, full of energy that I honestly envied. I was about to head out myself. It was my first day at the new job, and the nerves crawling beneath my skin were almost unbearable. The memory of what Tessa had told me last night replayed in my head like a chant, a small comfort to my anxiety: You won’t be seeing your boss all the time. He’s the CEO, but he doesn’t hover over the employees. That was all I wanted — distance. If her words turned out to be

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 072

    LAUREN'S POV We walked toward the couch and slowly sank into the cushions. My legs felt heavier than usual, and even though I tried to appear calm, my mind was buzzing like a swarm of restless bees. Tessa sat beside me with her arms crossed tightly against her chest, her brows furrowed in that way she always did whenever she was about to interrogate me. She looked less like my best friend at that moment and more like a mother waiting to scold a reckless child. “Where were you last night?” Tessa finally asked, her tone sharp and filled with curiosity. It wasn’t an innocent question, it carried weight, expectation, and the promise of judgment. I rolled my eyes and tried to ease the tension, though deep down, I was dreading this exact conversation. “Relax, I’ll explain that too,” I said with a forced calmness. My voice wavered slightly, betraying me. “I don’t know if you remember this, but you got completely drunk last night and stumbled straight to the dance floor.” I pushed forward

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 071

    LAUREN'S POV “Now tell me, do you have any questions?” he asked, rolling a silver pen over his knuckles with an ease that spoke of long practice. About his business life? No. About what happened yesterday? Yes. But I couldn’t ask that now. Not here, not with the sharp fluorescent lights humming above me and his calculating eyes fixed on my face. I just shook my head lightly and pressed my lips together. Best to keep my mouth shut. “Does that mean I’m hired? If so, when do I start work?” I asked finally, trying to keep my tone neutral, almost casual “Tomorrow,” he said, setting the pen down with a quiet click. “You can use today to get yourself prepared — iron your clothes properly and take care of your hair a little better than this.” His gaze lingered on my hair for a fraction too long, and his voice, though calm, felt like a slap. My breath caught. I closed my eyes for half a second, not wanting to show the heat that was rushing up my cheeks in embarrassment. My fingers twitch

  • No Second Chances, Ex-husband   CHAPTER 070

    LAUREN'S POV “You want me to purposely refuse you this job opportunity without even getting to know if you’re fit for the job because you think I might take revenge on you for how you spoke to me last night?” he asked, his voice firm and steady, while leaning back in his chair like he had all the time in the world. His eyes locked on me, sharp but unreadable, and that casual confidence in his tone made me shift uncomfortably in my seat. “I don’t think so, I know so,” I replied, refusing to break eye contact. My words came out harsher than I intended, but my chest was already tightening with nerves. His lips curved into the faintest smile, one that didn’t quite reach his eyes. “You speak like you’ve known me forever when we only just met yesterday. And I’m not as childish as you think. I’m disciplined, Lauren. I know how to separate my personal life from my business life. I don’t mix them, no matter what. So I wouldn’t take any sort of weird revenge you think I would. Relax.” He re
