Todos los capítulos de Six Years Into Our Secret Marriage, He Brought His First Love Home: Capítulo 1 - Capítulo 9

It took me all night to pack my things.The house that had felt lived-in was half-empty by the time I finished.Six years of marriage, and a few hours to erase myself from the place.I don't hate Sebastian as much as you'd expect.The marriage was a mistake from the first day.Back then, both the Grant and Ashford families were in trouble.The Ashford company's cash flow had dried up, and it needed capital from the Grant family.And the Grant family was caught in a business scandal and could only repair its reputation with the Ashford name.The elders of both families immediately agreed that we should marry.Nobody asked whether I wanted it.And nobody asked him either.He didn't dare defy his family, so he took all his anger and resentment out on me.On our wedding night, he didn't touch me once.In the middle of the night, he stood at the window and looked at me without a trace of warmth in his eyes."Vivian, are you satisfied?"I didn't understand. My fingers tightened around the fa

Once Cara moved into the main bedroom, Sebastian barely left her side.I said nothing more and moved my things to a friend's place.Neither of them seemed to believe I would actually go.One evening, I was heading out.She looked at the suitcase in my hand and gave me a cold little smile."Packing again, Vivian?"Don't think this will get Sebastian's attention."I looked up at her."I'm not trying to get his attention.""That's a lie!"Her voice rose sharply, and her eyes burned with jealousy and hatred."What you're doing is so cheap that it's embarrassing."First you ask for a divorce, then you start packing. It's all just to hold on to him, isn't it?"Too bad. I'm the only one in his heart."I looked at her steadily."You're reading too much into this. I've never wanted to fight with you over him."That caught her off guard.She hadn't expected such a direct answer.A moment later, she laughed at me."Do you think he won't sign because he can't let you go?"Don't flatter yourself.

[Vivian's POV]After I left the Grant house, I went abroad.Joyce Reed, a friend from university, met me at the airport the day I landed.She looked at the bandages on my hands but didn't ask about them.She just took my bags.As I walked out of the airport, everything inside me felt lighter."Vivian, what are you going to do now?" Joyce asked.I looked out at the unfamiliar city and didn't answer for a long time."First, I need to find myself again."After college, I devoted nearly all my time to Sebastian.I'd done it for so long that I'd forgotten what I even liked.Joyce didn't push. She took me back to her apartment.I spent that time recovering and looking for work.It didn't go well at first.My education and abilities were never the problem. Six years of marriage had cut me off from the world.I was like someone who had been kept under glass.When I stepped out of it so suddenly, even breathing felt unfamiliar.Then Joyce showed me the project she'd been building."Let's do it

Sebastian didn't come after me.I thought he'd finally decided to let me go.But first thing the next morning, a large bouquet of white roses arrived.I took one look at them and asked the front desk to send them back.Joyce stood beside me with her arms folded and raised an eyebrow."Is Sebastian planning to win you back?"I kept my head down, focused on the project files."His plans are his business."I'm not playing along anymore."He clearly had no intention of stopping.He showed up near the office each day for the next few days.I never once looked back.Then, on the fifth day, Cara came.She looked exhausted, a suitcase in hand.The front desk called me while she was downstairs causing a scene."I want to see Vivian!"If it weren't for her, Sebastian never would've left me back home alone."He can't do this to me!"When I came out, Sebastian immediately stepped in front of me."What are you doing here?"Her voice trembled as she asked, "Sebastian, you chased her all the way abro
