Scarlett jolted awake, all traces of sleepiness and the sadness she'd been feeling earlier disappearing in an instant. She was so startled that she nearly fell out of bed as she scrambled to get up.Acting Chairman of Meridian Investment Partners. That was the title Darius had left her with before he departed. She was no longer just his wife. She was now temporarily in charge of one of the largest companies in the country, and she was already running late on her very first day.“Damn it, Scarlett! First day, and you're already failing at being punctual!” she scolded herself as she hurriedly lathered up in the shower.The moment she stepped out of the bathroom, she rushed into her walk-in closet and searched for something suitable to wear. She needed to look respectable and capable. After a quick glance through her clothes, she settled on an elegant yet formal power suit, a white blazer paired with matching trousers that gave her a polished, commanding appearance. There was no time for

Scarlett rose from her seat to greet Alfonso Santibañez formally. Greg gave her a nod before quietly leaving the room to give them some privacy.“Good morning, Mr. Santibañez,” Scarlett greeted him, extending her hand. “Have a seat.”Alfonso stared at her hand for a moment before accepting it. He could feel the wall that now stood between them. “You're being too formal, Scarlett. It's not as if we were never boss and employee.”Scarlett smiled, but the expression never reached her eyes. “You're here to discuss business, Mr. Santibañez. Let's talk about business.” She emphasized the last word to make it clear that whatever personal relationship they'd once shared no longer mattered after what he'd done to Angeline.Embarrassed, Alfonso nodded and took a seat. “The construction team will start working tomorrow. I'll go there myself to oversee the site and attend the opening ceremony. I hope you'll have time to join me. They're expecting both of us.”“Of course. On behalf of my husband,

Scarlett sank into the back seat of the car and slowly closed her eyes.She was exhausted. The workload she had tackled today was even more demanding than what she had faced on her first day.She reached into her bag for her phone again, hoping Darius's name would appear on the screen when she turned it on. But there was still no message from him. Not even a single dot. Her lips pursed, and she couldn't help letting out a frustrated sigh."Is Darius really that busy?" she murmured, staring into space like a child sulking because she wasn't getting the attention she wanted.Greg glanced at her through the rearview mirror. "When he was opening branches in America, he was almost as busy as he is now. Sometimes, several board meetings kept him occupied for days, and he couldn't be reached."Scarlett understood. She knew her husband was a workaholic. But ever since she became pregnant, she seemed to have grown more sensitive. It was probably normal to feel a little needy and have her moods

Darius slowly opened his eyes. It felt as though thousands of needles were stabbing into his head, and his entire body seemed to sink into the bed under the weight of his exhaustion. He had just finished his high-dose chemotherapy the day before and had been transferred back to his private room.As his vision gradually cleared, a woman's face came into view. She had long hair, red lips, and eyes that seemed to light up with joy when she saw him wake up. With his vision still blurry and the medication weighing heavily on his system, he couldn't make out the details of her face."Scarlett..." Darius murmured in a hoarse voice. He didn't know why, but that was the only name engraved in his heart and mind at that moment.He raised his trembling hand and slowly touched the face of the woman before him."Darius," Devine exclaimed softly. A bitter smile tugged at her lips when she heard him call her by the wrong name, but she quickly hid her reaction. "Are you alright? Are you hurt? Are you

Scarlett's chest burned with fury as they made their way toward the Aldama mansion. Her hands were clenched so tightly that her nails were nearly digging into her palms.She had always known that Magdalene disapproved of her relationship with Tobias. Back then, she had endured all the insults and humiliation because she loved her former husband. But trying to take her life and the life of the baby growing inside her? That was an entirely different matter. She wouldn't let such a wicked act go unpunished.The guards immediately opened the massive gate when they recognized the approaching vehicle. Before Greg had even brought the car to a complete stop, Scarlett was already out and striding toward the mansion. Each step she took seemed to make the floor tremble beneath her feet."Scarlett—""Where is Magdalene?" Scarlett cut the housekeeper off with a sharp glare before she could finish speaking."S-She's in her room," the maid answered quickly, visibly trembling under Scarlett's intimi
