Chapter 5

Auteur: Sarah Lane
Lucius was just about to bolt out the door when a loud crash sounded behind him. Planette collapsed to the floor, her face as pale as paper, bright red blood rapidly pooling beneath her.

“Shit! Is she having a miscarriage?”

Lucius cursed under his breath, his brow furrowing in frustration. Without hesitation, he scooped her up and rushed straight to the hospital. The sharp, sterile scent of disinfectant made his head throb as the doctor delivered the diagnosis. Planette was diagnosed as a thre

  • The Ring She Tossed Away   Chapter 13

    Lucius lingered in the hospital for three agonizing days, yet Amara never once graced him with her presence. When the alcohol finally wore off and clarity returned, he found the desperate message had never been sent. His memories were a hazy blur, and he found he could barely even recall what Amara had looked like in his previous life.Upon checking out, Lucius returned to his company, only to find it was no longer his. Standing outside the gates, he stared at the newly replaced brand name. A heavy sigh escaped his lips. He had never imagined his story would end in such absolute defeat.Since the custom yellow roses from Argentina had already been flown to China, Lucius decided to present them to Amara as a congratulatory gift for her business triumph. A colossal sea of yellow roses engulfed the entire building, drawing a massive crowd of onlookers. With no other choice, I made my way downstairs. At the first sight of the suffocating floral display, a cold sneer curled my lips."Luciu

    “Yes.” The word tore from Lucius’s throat, heavy and jagged. “Amara, I surrender. You win.”Cassiel sneered, his eyes cold. “Lucius, don’t you think it’s a little late to surrender? You were so stubborn and arrogant just days ago. Now, only when you’ve been completely drained of your strength do you finally bow your head. Isn’t that a little too opportunistic?”Lucius didn’t refute him. He had harbored a sliver of hope during those agonizing days, foolishly believing that a cold-blooded man like Cassiel would never go this far just for a woman. But he had underestimated Amara. She truly possessed the power to bring him to his knees. Standing before them, he felt utterly wretched. With no other choice, he stammered out a clumsy apology.“I’m sorry, Amara. I know I’ve been pathetic. It’s all my fault. I’ve thought about it a lot these past few days. I don’t want us to end up as enemies… I’ll give you everything you want.”My fingertips brushed lightly along the edge of the contract res

    Lucius’s chest tightened, a suffocating pressure that left him barely able to draw a breath.I continued, my voice as cold and detached as ice. "The truth doesn’t matter. Planette doesn’t matter. And of course… you don’t matter anymore, Lucius. I don't have an endless supply of love and patience. Once they’re squandered, there’s no second chance.”I lowered my gaze to the acquisition contract resting on the desk, my fingertips brushing lightly over the crisp ink. “Sign it, Lucius.”A memory from his previous life suddenly surfaced in his mind. That day at the hospital, I had said the exact same words, in that same light, indifferent tone. And in the end, I had handed him a divorce agreement. Clenching his fists until his knuckles turned white, he stubbornly refused. “Amara, I won’t agree.”I had known he would refuse. Without another word, I turned and walked toward the door. “It doesn’t matter. You will sign it eventually.”“Because Cassiel will help you?”“Maybe.”Lucius felt his

    Lucius returned to the sprawling estate he had once called home. He ordered every trace of Planette’s existence to be burned to ashes, refusing to let a single item remain. Only after the entire house had been meticulously cleaned and disinfected did he allow Amara’s belongings to be brought back. Slipping their wedding ring back onto his finger, he paced the empty halls, rehearsing his apologies to Amara in his mind, over and over again.The sudden, urgent ringing of his phone shattered the silence. His assistant’s panicked voice crackled through the speaker. "Mr. Corleone, please come to the office immediately. Someone is attempting a hostile takeover of the Group. They…"Lucius clicked his tongue in sheer irritation, complaining someone had the audacity to ruin his carefully laid plans to win his wife back. "Got it. I'm on my way."Yet, even as he spoke, his fingers danced across his phone screen. He calmly contacted a florist to order 9,999 yellow roses. When his assistant called

    Lucius fell into a heavy, suffocating silence. Only after the door clicked shut behind her did the fragmented pieces of the truth finally snap together in his mind. He dialed Planette’s number, his voice a harsh, unforgiving blade. "Was it really Amara who sent people to harass you that night at the bar?"Her silence was all the confession he needed. A low, feral roar tore from his throat. Raising his hand, he slapped himself across the face with a sickening crack. He was nothing but a complete, irredeemable bastard. Snatching her by the throat, he pinned her against the wall, his eyes burning with venom. "Aren't you afraid of retribution for what you've done?"Planette squeezed her eyes shut in agony, but a twisted, defiant smile crept onto her lips. "Lucius! If retribution really exists, you should be the first to burn."Lucius was instantly paralyzed, the breath knocked out of his lungs. He had no defense."You cheated on Amara for two years, and she never knew a thing. You liv

  • The Ring She Tossed Away   Chapter 8

    The warm, balmy breeze of Argentina wrapped around me as I stepped out of the massage parlor. I rubbed my fingertips together and turned to the man standing beside me. "Mr. Angelini, when shall we discuss the details of our cooperation?" I asked, my tone professional and steady.Cassiel cast a cool, appraising glance in my direction. "At the office."In my previous life, I had seen Cassiel on the news, hailed by the media as an unparalleled business genius. Brought back to his family at thirteen, he had carved out his own business empire by sixteen, eventually becoming an untouchable titan in the business world. But at twenty-eight, a tragic sabotage during a business trip to Argentina had left him half-paralyzed and permanently infertile. That was exactly why I had flown to Argentina the moment I had the chance. I intended to stop this tragedy before it could unfold.I was absolutely certain that a man of his stature valued his own life above all else. Whether he believed my warning
