The college girl I was sponsoring, Yasmine Reed, texted me that she was pregnant. She asked me what to do. She was only a sophomore. I told her to focus on her degree. Before my message was even sent, she blocked me. A few weeks later, I twisted my ankle. My best friend, Clara Barnes, brought me to the clinic. Clara pointed at a young couple standing outside the maternity ward. "If your husband were in town, he would pamper you just like that," Clara sighed. "I still don't get why he insisted on taking that project that faraway." I stared down at my phone. "Julian is doing it for our future. As long as he loves me, I don't mind." As we walked out, the couple turned the corner. The man held the girl close, kissing her forehead. "Be good, Yasmine. Right after this ultrasound, I'll buy you that designer purse." My blood ran cold. My feet froze to the floor. The man holding her was the same man that was supposed to be faraway. He was standing right in front of me. It was my husband, Julian Drake. And the girl in his arms was Yasmine Reed, the student I was funding.

Julian’s eyes lit up. He wiped his hands quickly on his pants and followed me out.We walked up to the clinic rooftop.The night wind was cold, clearing the heavy air around us."Vanessa, you're finally willing to speak to me," Julian murmured, rubbing his hands together nervously."Your father's condition has stabilized. The specialists said…""Julian," I interrupted, pulling a fresh divorce agreement from my bag and holding it out to him."Sign it. This is the last time I'm offering this. If you refuse, a court summons will arrive at your firm tomorrow."The faint hope on his face froze completely.He stared blankly at the pages, the light in his eyes fading into complete shadow."Why?" his voice trembled. "I'm changing. I really am."I gave you all my money. I'm trying to make amends every single day... why won't you forgive me?""Because broken glass cannot be put back together," I said, my voice as calm as if discussing the weather. "And late devotion is completely wort

With Yasmine dealt with, Julian finally remembered me.He started looking for me like a madman. He called, sent endless messages, and ambushed me at my parents' clinic.That morning, I finished walking my mother through her checkup. As I stepped out of the clinic doors, I saw Julian standing in the rain.He had no umbrella. He was soaked through.His hair, usually styled to perfection, hung messy across his forehead. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked entirely broken.The moment he saw me, his eyes lit up. He stumbled forward, reaching out to hug me.I took a step back, looking at him with cold eyes.His hands froze in midair. His voice was raspy and broken."Vanessa... I was wrong... I truly know I was wrong.""I was blind. I was fooled by that wretched woman," he choked out. "I shouldn't have doubted you. I shouldn't have threatened you with your father's medical bills."He pulled a soaked document folder from his jacket and offered it to me with trembling hands."

Julian didn't sign the papers. He assumed I was just making empty threats.The firm's annual gala came up a week later.As a co-founder, I was naturally on the guest list.Julian had assumed I wouldn't show up.When I walked into the ballroom wearing a tailored red evening gown, a flash of admiration lit up his eyes. Then, his brow furrowed.Yasmine was there too, wearing a loose white dress. She kept up her fragile, helpless act.A glint of jealousy flashed across Yasmine’s eyes when she saw me. But she quickly put on a sweet smile, leaning heavily on Julian’s arm as they walked over."Vanessa, you look so beautiful tonight," she purred. "Julian said you hated these events. I thought you weren't coming."I raised my wine glass, took a slow sip, and didn't even grant her a glance.Julian lowered his voice, dropping a sharp warning. "Vanessa, major clients are here tonight. Don't make a scene."I curled my lips into a cold smile. "Don't worry, Mr. Drake. I'm only here to

My mother was rushed into the emergency room. Thankfully, the doctors acted fast enough to save her life.Sitting by her bed, looking at her pale, hollow face, I pulled out my phone and texted Attorney Ford.[Is the agreement ready? I won't compromise on the asset division by a single cent. If he refuses, file a lawsuit immediately.]He texted back shortly.[Your finances are heavily intertwined, but I'll have everything finalized in three days max.]Three days later, holding the drafted divorce papers, I walked straight into Julian's company.From the office space selection to the interior layout, from our very first client to our current scale, my shadow was everywhere in this building.Yet, the receptionist stepped forward to block my path."Mrs. Drake, Mr. Drake is in a meeting. You can't go in.""I am the co-founder of this company," I said, cold and sharp. "Get out of my way."I shoved past her, marched up to the executive suite, and kicked the office door open.Insi
