Chapter 1

I dropped the resignation letter and divorce papers onto Rian’s desk.He finally looked up from his files, his gaze landing on me."We've been together for ten years, spent every anniversary together. It was just one missed dinner. Is this really necessary?""Chloe’s kid had a fever that night. She’s my subordinate; I couldn't just ignore her.""Besides, her baby is so young. Sending someone to help her out now and then is just the right thing to do. You're a mother too; you should understand.""I don't think you've thought this through. If you insist, I’ll sign.""But you’ll lose the family's protection. You’ll be on your own."He delivered the warning with his usual boardroom detachment.Expecting me to back down.I pushed the two documents closer to him."Then sign them."Rian scrawled his signature in one fluid motion.As he tossed the pen aside, he said casually, "Davina, we’ve been together for ten years. You know I have no intention of leaving you.""I admit I’ve looked out for

Rian ran New York. There was no way he hadn't heard the rumors.He just didn't care enough to shut them down.Just like now, knowing I'd be hurt, he still spoke up."Davina, if you have nothing else, go help me handle..."My phone suddenly buzzed.The word "Mother" flashed across the screen.I nodded at him."Actually, I have something to take care of. I'll leave you two to it."With that, I turned and walked out, not giving the man a second glance.Eleanor was a sharp yet kind woman. She raised Rian and, after his father—the former Godfather—died unexpectedly, used her own iron-fisted methods to stabilize the turbulent family.I had always respected her deeply, and she treated me like a daughter.When I spotted her standing by the elevator, sporting her usual sunglasses and vintage silk scarf, I smiled."Mom, over here."The woman, serious just a second ago, immediately beamed.She pulled a shimmering necklace from her designer handbag and held it up against my collarbone."A perfect

I took a deep breath."I can call your private doctor, or call an ambulance if you prefer."This was probably the first time Rian had offered me an olive branch only to be rejected. I could hear him gritting his teeth."Didn't you say you'd always do it yourself, that no one else was allowed to touch you?"I had said that once.Rian was more sensitive to pain than a normal person, but injuries were unavoidable in syndicate conflicts.Every time I treated him, he would break out in a cold sweat from the pain.It hurt me to see it, so I always did it myself, meticulously controlling the pressure to keep his pain to an absolute minimum.But now...I glanced back and gave him a faint smile. "It's just a scrape. Anyone can do it.""Like Chloe right there. She looks more than willing.""The meeting is about to start. I need to prep. Please hurry up."As I walked away, his cold voice trailed after me."Davina, I am your boss. I'm giving you an order, not the other way around."I reminded him

On the road, my phone buzzed again.I checked and saw that Rian had deployed his hackers to scrub the keywords I had just posted.But in our world, there are no secrets.Back at the Long Island estate, I played Legos with Leo as usual, then went out to the garden to chat with Eleanor.She looked a bit apologetic. "Davina, I was just so impulsive..."I squeezed her hand to comfort her. "It's okay. I know you just wanted to stand up for me."Half an hour later, Rian walked through the door.It was one of the few times in the last six months he'd come home this early.Ever since Chloe was transferred, she had used every possible excuse to keep Rian away from home.During critical moments of turf wars, he was busy helping her deal with a petty thief.When Leo was rushed to the ER with stomach pains in the middle of the night, Rian was dropping Chloe off at her apartment and going up for "tea," leaving his private phone in the car.Even on Leo's birthday, he was with Chloe.That day, Eleano

"No, no, Rian is just drunk. I don't want you to get the wrong idea...""I don't have the wrong idea. He's a free man. He can sleep wherever he wants. You don't need my permission.""If that's all, I'm hanging up. Have a good night."The line went dead quiet.Just when I thought the call had dropped, I heard a man's voice gritting his teeth."Davina, you're really that fine with me sleeping at another woman's apartment?""I am your husband. You should fulfill your duty as a wife and come get me."It seemed Rian was incredibly drunk.Otherwise, how could he have forgotten the exact thing I reminded him of just a few hours ago?I sighed softly, having zero desire to argue with a drunken madman."It's late. Leo is asleep. Don't come back tonight.""I'm not leaving the house either. If you're not comfortable on her couch, have Chloe book you a suite.""Chloe is your personal assistant. She should know how to handle logistics.""And don't call again. I'm turning my phone off. Whatever you h

Eleanor and I had made a spur-of-the-moment decision last night to go on a vacation to clear our heads.Three hours later, we landed on a private beach in Miami.They say the ocean breeze cures all exhaustion. They weren't wrong.At least out on the yacht, Eleanor looked much more vibrant than when we first took off.But by evening, her peace was shattered by the relentless ringing of her phone.Unable to reach me, Rian had apparently resorted to blowing up his mother's line.Seeing the caller ID, Eleanor’s face darkened, and she simply ordered her security detail to block the signal.That night, in the penthouse suite of the beachfront resort, I had just finished reading Leo a bedtime story and tucked him in.My laptop suddenly started pinging with incoming emails.My inbox, once strictly reserved for syndicate financials, was now flooded with personal messages.Most of them were from Rian."[Image attached] Davina, I didn't agree to this divorce. What is the meaning of this?""My mot

Chapter 7

Did I still love Rian?I had spent countless nights staring at the ceiling, pondering this exact question.I had tortured myself with hypothetical scenarios:What if Chloe had never come into the picture?What if he had actually been there for me when I was sick?What if he spent just a little more time with Leo?What if he had just shown up for one anniversary dinner?...At first, those scenarios kept me anchored.Because hypotheticals give you false hope.But once the disappointment piles high enough, none of it matters anymore.Through the speaker, his heavy breathing sounded like a caged animal trying to maintain control.I waited for a good while, but he didn't say another word.I had no desire to drag this out, so I moved to end the conversation."Alright, I'll bring Mom and Leo back to New York in a few days.""As for Chloe staying at the house, you don't need my permission, and tell her to stop sending me her sob stories.""Just one thing: if she moves into the estate, I'm kee

When he reached me, he almost looked hesitant."You've been drinking. I'll have my driver take you."I smiled faintly."No need, I can hail a cab."The crisp New York breeze hit my face, mixing with the lingering scent of champagne. It was refreshing.I took a deep breath and looked at him."What are you doing here?"He stared down at me, his eyes hiding a storm of emotions I couldn't read."I wanted to see you. So I came."I didn't press him on how he found me.For the Godfather of New York, tracking down which investment bank I had signed with was child's play.I looked at him, feeling absolutely nothing."You've seen me. Was there something you needed to discuss?"He nodded, a desperate edge to his voice, almost like he was begging for credit. "I didn't let Chloe set foot in the estate.""I know.""So... will you come home tonight?"I laughed softly."That's your home, Rian. Not mine."He was rendered speechless for a moment before forcing out, "Before I left, my mother was so furio

Chapter 9

The luxury log cabins at the resort were private, but the walls were far from soundproof.When a woman's shrill voice drifted through the timber from the adjacent suite, I instantly recognized it."...You used to clean up all my messes without a second thought! And now, all you care about is your heir and your ex-wife!"The person on the other end of the phone must have said something cold, because her voice spiked into hysterics."I willingly hid in this freezing wasteland just to be with you! I sent my own baby out to the countryside! What more do you want from me?!""...What do you mean he's just my child? Didn't you swear you'd treat him like your own?! Were you just playing me?!""...You've been divorced for half a year, and now you're suddenly realizing the only woman you love is that boring, stiff bitch?!""Rian! Do you even have a heart?!"Sitting by the fire, I froze, my mug halfway to my mouth.So it was Chloe.It seemed her grand plan to become the next Mrs. Ruthven had spec
