LOGINIn the glittering world of New York’s elite, Genevieve Vaughn once believed her marriage to billionaire Desmond Vaughn could become something real. Born from a scandal and sealed by family obligation, their union started as duty—but for a fleeting moment, it felt like love. Until the blame for their childless marriage slowly poisoned everything. Shunned by her husband and his powerful family, Genevieve watched Desmond grow cold and distant. Then came the ultimate betrayal: his pregnant mistress, Olive, whom he planned to install as his second wife. On what should have been their anniversary, Genevieve is banished from the lavish celebration while Desmond publicly claims Olive across town. Humiliated and heartbroken, she quietly erases every trace of herself from their mansion, ready to disappear forever. But when a relentless reporter corners her for a statement, Genevieve makes a shocking decision. In one calm, devastating sentence, she announces their divorce to the world—turning her pain into headlines. As the news explodes across the city, Desmond abandons his triumphant night and races home… only to find his wife gone. She walked away. And this time, she’s not looking back. You Lost Me, Desmond Vaughn.

I’m not announcing our marriage tonight.”Alain tightened his cufflink as he stood in front of the mirror, his phone pressed against his ear. He had been getting ready for the gala for nearly twenty minutes, but the conversation with his mother had turned into an argument he had no intention of losing.“You cannot be serious,” his mother replied. “Your father has already spoken to the Sterling board, and Victoria’s parents are expecting the announcement. What exactly do you want us to tell them when you walk into that ballroom and say nothing?”“Tell them I changed my mind.”“Alain.”He closed his eyes briefly.“I said I’m not doing it.”His mother’s voice hardened. “You and Victoria are married. You agreed to this arrangement, and tonight is simply the first time both families intended to acknowledge it publicly. Why are you suddenly acting as though something has changed?”Alain said nothing.There were some things he could
Desmond had been sitting in the chair beside the bed for what felt like hours.He had changed out of his work clothes after they returned from the hospital, but he had barely moved from the room since then. His phone rested in one hand while his attention shifted between the screen and Olive, who had been lying quietly beneath the covers.The room had been silent for so long that Olive had almost convinced herself he would stay there without saying another word.Then Desmond finally locked his phone and stood.Olive watched him take a step toward the door.Something inside her tightened.“Desmond.”He stopped.She reached out and caught his hand before he could walk away. He looked down at their hands, then back at her.“Please don't go.”There was something in her voice that made him pause.“I’m not going anywhere. I’m still around the house. If anything is wrong, you can let me know immediately.”“Do you even care about me?”Desmond's expression changed slightly.Olive slowly pushed
Standing upright seemed to take far more effort than it should.Ethan frowned.“Are you okay?”His voice made Olive turn toward him. She forced a small smile.“It’s just morning sickness,” she said softly. “I’m pregnant. I’ll be fine.”As she spoke, Ethan’s eyes drifted to the glass of water in her hand. Her fingers were wrapped so tightly around it that her knuckles had turned white. She tried to take another step. Suddenly, the hallway seemed to tilt beneath her feet. The walls blurred together, and a wave of dizziness hit so hard she couldn’t tell which way was up. She froze, clutching the staircase railing with one hand while the other instinctively tightened around the glass.Ethan’s smile disappeared.“Olive?”He moved toward her immediately.“Are you sure you’re okay? Is it that bad? I can call Desmond or take you to the hospital.”She shook her head weakly.“No… I’m okay…”The words had barely left her mouth before her knees gave out. Her fingers loosened. The glass slipped fr
The footsteps stopped a few feet behind her.Genevieve’s fingers tightened around the sleeve of her coat. She didn’t dare assume who stood behind her. Yet somehow… she already knew. Slowly, she looked over her shoulder. Her breath caught.Desmond.He stood a short distance away, dressed in a charcoal overcoat over a black shirt, one hand tucked into his pocket while the other held a bouquet of fresh white lilies. The morning breeze stirred his dark hair, and for a fleeting moment, neither of them moved. Neither of them spoke. Time seemed to stand still as they simply stared at one another.Genevieve had imagined this moment countless times over the past few weeks. The hospital. The club. Twice fate had placed them within arm’s reach, yet somehow they had never exchanged a single word. Sometimes she imagined telling him everything — telling him the truth and wondering if, after hearing it, he would still choose her. Then she would remember the woman he had brought into their home.
