Synopsis

CEO

Feel-Good Story

Male POV

Substitute

Winning Back the Husband

Awakening

Regret

My CEO wife insists on taking a young, fresh intern under her wing. She wants to train him personally. She says to me, "Don't overthink this. I just value his potential." She's always been stern and stoic, but she starts dressing in pink and pulling her hair back in high ponytails. On our third wedding anniversary, she and the intern even willfully disappear for 48 hours. When others are searching for her like mad, she shares photos of her riding a carousel and holding cotton candy. She captions them, "I found the purest of joys in the most joyful of places—all because of you!" Our company loses a huge project because of this, and I lose my wife. I slip a divorce agreement between the pages of the intern's application to become a permanent staff member. My wife signs it without even looking and says, "Knowing what Elliot can do, he's more than capable of carrying out the role of a vice president." I calmly hand her my resignation. "You're right. That's why I'll make way for him."

Chapter 1
I, Alexander Vaughn, and Kameron Lambert were financially independent.In the divorce agreement lying on my desk, the only thing I asked for was the marital home.I planned to talk about it after getting home.Elliot Gray walked in at the worst possible time."Mr. Vaughn, HR sent me to talk to you about updating my status to a full-time employee."The human resource department sent him to me because they couldn't decide between Kameron, the CEO, and me, the Vice President.I no longer gave him the cold shoulder like I used to, back when he hung around Kameron with questionable motives.I just calmly took the report. "You can leave now."However, Elliot planted himself firmly on the couch. "This office is so big. Mr. Vaughn, don't you think this will soon be my office?"He tapped the backrest of the couch, as if he were certain about it.Ignoring him, I called the security. "Have two of you come here. Someone's refusing to leave my office."When Elliot saw that I wasn't going

Kameron was just about to flip through the documents when the screen of her phone lit up on the desk.Seeing the caller's name, she answered the call hurriedly. "Alright, alright. Everything will be fine. Wait for me in the car."After ending the call, she shot me a glare. "You had security try to throw Elliot out, and now you're telling me it's my decision whether he gets hired permanently?""I—"She raised her hand and slapped me before I knew it. My cheek burned instantly."Can't you even tolerate an intern? Or are you just scared he'll steal what little spotlight you have left?"I let out a bitter laugh.Every time Elliot ran to her to complain, she never cared whether I'd followed the rules—she always sided with him.I had been in the corporate world long enough to know how to handle a guy who seemed naive on the surface.But the more I dealt with Elliot, the more Kameron resented me.The weaker he played it, the more righteous he seemed.I felt a wave of bitterness and

As I brought it up on my own, Ryder was beyond excited."You're up for the role? That's great! Alexander, you're an exceptionally rare talent when it comes to business development and management. If you're interested, I'll have them start arranging everything right away."The salary will be much better than what you're earning now. If Ms. Lambert doesn't want to let you go, I'll speak to her myself. How does that sound?"Ryder was a well-known business tycoon in this city, and his wife used to be one of my university professors.The overseas branch of Ryder’s company was on an upward trajectory but still faced limitations in cash flow and access to top-tier talent.So, Ryder had been trying to recruit me to help expand his business.Naturally, I'd turned him down.After all, my wife and I built Lambert Group together.It was like our child.Looking back, I was too fixated to think clearly. I shouldn't have been so set in my ways to have let go of such a great opportunity."Th

This chance encounter wasn't pleasant for anyone.Kameron was eager to leave, but one of my friends stopped her and said deliberately, "Ms. Lambert, I don't know what's up with Alex today. He's had quite a bit to drink, and he definitely won't be able to get home on his own. Could you drop him off on your way?"As soon as he said that, Elliot turned his head in confusion and annoyance. "He can call a ride. Why should Ms. Lambert take him home?"It was obvious to everyone, including Elliot, that I loved Kameron.Elliot had a scowl on his face. "Besides, they're not even going the same way."My other friend was so angry that he nearly stood up to punch Elliot.Kameron quickly stepped in front of Elliot. "Try it if you dare!"Her protective stance toward Elliot made my friend's blood boil.He then pointed his finger at her. "Kameron, you'd better not force me to say it. Tell this pretty boy what exactly your relationship with Alexander is right now!"Kameron's face turned cold as

To avoid drawing attention, we left the company at different times.This time, Kameron really showed up.She adjusted her skirt slightly as she sat down and started chatting with me. "I came here once with a client and fell in love with it."The food was being served one by one.She proactively pushed her favorite seafood bisque in front of me. "This place makes an authentic Falmontian seafood bisque. Try it."Moments like this, when we were relaxed, were rare. In the past, if she had given me even this much attention, I would've been over the moon.Now, though, I just looked at the shellfish bisque I was allergic to, not touching it.Seeing I was unenthusiastic, she looked a little unhappy. "Why aren't you eating it?"It wasn't as if I had never told her I was allergic to this kind of ingredient.Once, I had even forced myself to eat it before just to please her, which ended up with me in the emergency room.Nonetheless, she'd forgotten all of that.Just as I was about to s

The nurse told me that I could be discharged.I picked up my phone and called Kameron."Alexander, I'm still tied up over here and can't leave. You don't need to be there when I meet Mr. Larkin," she said. Before I could respond, I heard another voice from the other end of the phone. "Kam, how's the cake? Since you've eaten it, you need to take me out and show me the world."I felt a wave of nausea.So, she couldn't leave because she was busy with Elliot.Fine. I wasn't in the best state to meet Sebastian, anyway.Elliot could go with her for all I cared."I'll just take a cab back, then," I said, not calling her out.My visa would be ready by next Monday, so I booked a flight for Tuesday.Kameron was also scheduled to fly to Harborview for a meeting that day. It was purely coincidental that we were leaving on the same day.Ever since I decided to leave, I'd been slowly handing over my work to my assistant.When she asked why, I told her I was going on a business trip for

Chapter 7
My work abroad was going smoothly.During the first three months, with limited energy, I intentionally ignored everything back home and focused on adjusting to the current pace of life.I barely even kept in touch with my friends.It wasn't until one day, during a video call with a friend, that I heard about some drama."You know, after getting the divorce papers you sent, Kameron was so furious she couldn't eat for days. She claimed she had no memory of ever signing the agreement. Yeah, right. As if anyone believes that. Wasn't she the one who couldn't wait to get divorced?"She even said HR let you go without permission and threatened to hold them accountable, but HR pulled out the resignation form with her signature on it, including your departure date and the proper procedures. She couldn't press the issue at all."I just laughed it off.To end things quickly, I had used a few tricks to break free, but I had never harmed her interests. The only thing involving shared assets

Kameron had stopped dressing in a girlish way.Her usual professional outfit now looked a little too loose on her thin frame.When I saw her, I said, "If we can get the divorce done quickly, I don't need the house."I had nothing to my name, and I didn't need that bit of money.Kameron's hand paused as she drank her coffee.Looking up at me, she replied, "I don't want to divorce."I chuckled. "Stop joking around. It wasn't easy for me to come back. If it were any other man, he would've either gone scorched-earth with you or destroyed Elliot completely. I didn't raise my hand at you, and I was even willing to walk away without doing any damage. Isn't that enough for you?"Kameron fell silent.She knew I excelled in negotiation. Her odds of winning an argument with me weren't great."My relationship with Elliot isn't what you think. Yes, he's full of energy, and I did feel something. But I know very well that it's not love. I never crossed the line. The person I really love has

My gaze fell on Elliot's wrist.It was indeed wrapped in thick gauze.Well, he had just started living off a woman but had already lost her ticket to free meals.And yet, Kameron still told me she never crossed a line."Elliot, you'd better spend your time improving yourself. With your skills and body, you wouldn't even have managed to live off Kameron if you didn't look like her first love," I commented. When he heard that, Elliot turned vicious and snapped, "What did you say? First love? You're a pathetic loser. She doesn't even want you anymore, and you're still living in delusion."I look like her first love? Don't tell me you think you're her first love. Ha! As if! Who'd want to look like an old man like you?"Honestly, I felt sorry for him for not realizing that he was a substitute for someone else.Not wanting to waste another second, I turned to leave.Elliot suddenly went berserk as he lunged at me and grabbed my throat, catching me off guard."Die!
