My eyes fell to the necklace lying at my feet. It sparkled against the cold floor.

Three point eight million dollars, and Leila had thrown it away without a second thought. She didn't care about the money, or the fact that it was a gift from me.

I stood frozen in the middle of the crowd, my breath trapped in my chest.

She was in George's arms. He held her tight against his chest like the most precious thing in the world, and Leila didn't even try to pull away. Their daughter’s small han

    KARLI was halfway through reviewing a stack of documents when the door to my office opened. I glanced up, expecting my assistant, but Ellen walked in instead.Something about her expression made me pause. She looked unusually serious, almost unsettled."Why are you here?" I asked, setting down my pen.She didn't answer immediately. I leaned back in my chair. "If you're here to talk about Jennifer again, I'm not interested.""That's not why I came." Her voice was quieter than usual.I studied her face. "Then what is it?"She walked closer to my desk, her eyes fixed on mine. "Have you seen the news?"

  • THE WIFE HE THREW AWAY: My ex-husband's regret    { THE ACCIDENT }

    GEORGETHE NIGHT BEFORE LEILA'S BIRTHDAYThe steady hum of the engines filled the cabin as I leaned back in my seat, staring out through the small window. Somewhere below us, the lights of the cities had begun to disappear beneath the darkness. We had been in the air for several hours, and the journey had been relatively smooth.I loosened my tie and glanced at my watch. I should have been home by now. If my private jet hadn't needed that unexpected maintenance, I would have been with Leila and Mila hours ago. Instead, I was stuck on a commercial flight, watching the minutes pass while the two people I wanted to see most waited for me.The thought of Leila waiting at home made me restless. I shifted in my seat and looked toward the aisle, briefly considering asking the flight attendant how much longer we had left. There was no point. The pilot had already given us an estimated arrival time, and there was nothing I could do to make us get there faster.A few minutes later, a flight att

    LEILAThe sound of my ringtone jolted me awake. I sat up abruptly, reaching for my phone on the couch. For a moment, I thought it was George finally calling. But when I glanced at the screen, my heart sank. Doreen.I answered, rubbing the sleep from my eyes. "Hello?""Good morning, Leila. Are you still at home? I was wondering when you'd be coming into the office." I glanced toward the staircase. "I haven't decided yet. I don't think I'll be coming in today.""The clients from Switzerland are already here, Leila. They've been waiting to meet with you."I sighed, leaning back against the couch. "Doreen, I really don't think I can make it to the office today. Can you explain the situation to them and reschedule the meeting?""We've already rescheduled twice," she replied. "They've travelled all this way specifically for this meeting, and I don't think postponing it again would leave the right impression."I closed my eyes briefly, wishing I could avoid the office altogether. "Can't you

    LEILAI glanced at the time on my phone as I adjusted the little jacket Mila was wearing. We were running a little late, and I didn't want George waiting for us when he arrived."Mommy, are we going to see Daddy now?" Mila asked excitedly from beside me.I smiled. "Yes, sweetheart. We're going to pick him up."Her face immediately brightened. "Daddy is coming home!"I laughed, taking her little hand as we headed toward the car.I had been looking forward to this moment all day. Knowing George was finally on his way home made everything feel different. I couldn't wait to see him, hold him, and hear about everything that had happened in Canada.The drive to the airport felt longer than usual. I kept glancing at the time, eager to get there before his flight landed.When we finally arrived, I parked and helped Mila out of the car before making our way into the international arrivals terminal.There were quite a number of people waiting. Some held flowers, others stood beside their childr

    GEORGE"That's not what we agreed to."I stared at the documents in front of me, struggling to believe what the government representatives were proposing.I sat at the head of the conference table, with my legal team beside me and several senior government officials seated opposite us. The meeting had been going on for nearly two hours, yet we were nowhere close to reaching an agreement. The room felt incredibly small, the air thick with tension.The Canadian government wanted my company to surrender its controlling stake in the nickel-processing project to a state-backed corporation. In exchange, they would consider lifting the suspension on our operating and export permits. "My company has invested seven billion dollars in this project," I said, keeping my voice firm and level. "We have fulfilled every single obligation outlined in the concession agreement. You cannot expect us to surrender control simply because the government has suddenly decided to change the terms."One of th

    GEORGEI stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows of my penthouse, watching the city lights shimmer beneath the evening sky. The view usually brought a sense of calm, but tonight, my focus was entirely elsewhere. Two days. In just two days, it would be Leila's birthday. I had spent weeks obsessing over the final preparations, absolutely determined to give her a celebration she would never forget. Every single detail had been carefully considered, and I had personally overseen the arrangements to ensure absolute perfection. But the party wasn't the only surprise I had planned for her. Turning away from the glass, my eyes drifted toward the small, deep-blue velvet box resting on the table behind me. I had opened that box dozens of times over the past few days, checking its contents even though I knew very well how flawless the diamond inside was. Each time the lid clicked open, I found myself imagining the exact look on Leila's face when I finally slipped it onto her finger. I coul
