Chapter 1

Ian's POVMy fiancée, Vivian Leston, tossed her bag onto the couch and looked at me, arms crossed. "Ian, what's with your attitude this time? I spent the entire evening kissing up to Justin just to land him as a client. I'm exhausted. Can you stop making things difficult for me?""A client, you say?" I frowned. All I could think about was how she had walked up to Justin Sullivan and let his hands wander all over her waist. The sight was infuriating. What kind of business meeting needed someone to offer herself up just to win over a client?I rubbed my temples, feeling a throbbing pain. "You know perfectly well how Justin feels about you, but you still resort to something like—""That's exactly why I need to keep him on good terms!" she interrupted without hesitation. "Our company needs funding to expand. Do you even know what Justin's father does for a living? We just need to keep him happy, and we'll have tens of millions in investments coming our way. "I'm making this sacrifi

Chapter 2

Ian's POVAfter five years away, I finally returned home. Everything felt both familiar and unfamiliar.Dad's company, Apex Group, was one of the country's leading business empires. But back then, I had willingly given up everything just for the sake of freedom. Looking back now, my stubborn insistence seemed like nothing more than a childish joke.Dad was surprised by my change of heart, but more than anything, he was relieved. He didn't press for details about what had happened between Vivian and me. Instead, he immediately assigned me to the company's core projects division. He even handed me a challenging overseas merger and acquisition deal to cut my teeth on."If you can pull this deal off, you'll have established yourself within the company." Dad patted my shoulder, his gaze deep and thoughtful.I nodded and threw myself entirely into my work. I had mountains of paperwork, video conferences across different time zones, and meticulous business negotiations. The demanding

Chapter 3

Ian's POVWhen Vivian saw me, a range of emotions flashed across her face, but triumph overshadowed them. She pushed Justin away and smiled triumphantly. "Well? I won, didn't I? I told you he still has feelings for me. One word from me, and he'd come running, even if it means going through hell and back."Justin's expression turned grim. It was obvious he had lost their bet. He reluctantly took out a set of car keys and threw them at Vivian. "Fine, you win."She took the keys, then turned to look at me. "Ian, Mr. Sullivan and I made a bet to see whether you still cared about me. I didn't expect you to actually show up. It's snowing so hard out there. Thanks for making the trip."As she spoke, she even waved the set of car keys in front of me.The cold wind swept snowflakes into the warm cabin, sending chills through me, who had been worried about her.My gaze drifted to her empty ring finger. That was where the matching couple's ring I had given her should have been. I hadn't exp

Chapter 4

Ian's POVA month later, Apex Group held its annual business gala, inviting prominent figures from all walks of life. Dad had asked me to attend it as one of the company's representatives.I was exchanging pleasantries with the other guests when Justin walked into the venue with Vivian on his arm.I glanced in their direction, my eyes narrowing slightly. The Sullivans might have been wealthy, but they were hardly worth mentioning compared to a corporate titan like Apex Group. Justin must have pulled quite a few strings to get his hands on an invitation.Vivian wore an eye-catching red strapless gown, but it did little to conceal the weariness on her face. She must have heard about my resignation by now. I wondered what she thought.Our eyes met across the room. She froze for a moment and instinctively tried to look away, but Justin tightened his grip around her waist. He then led her toward me with a provocative smile."Well, if it isn't Ian! What are you doing here? A banquet

Chapter 5

Third-Person POVJustin's proposal seemed particularly out of place in the chaotic banquet hall. The crowd had just settled down, and many people were now turning their attention to Vivian, eager to see how things would unfold. He kneeled on one knee, his eyes filled with anticipation.However, Vivian still stared intently in the direction where Ian and Isla had just disappeared."Vivian?" Justin's smile faltered. His hands that were holding the ring box remained frozen in midair.Vivian returned to her senses. As she looked at the diamond ring, all she could think about was how Ian had protected Isla as he led her away."No… No, I can't." She abruptly pulled her hand back, as if she had been burned. "Justin, stop fooling around. I don't want to marry you."Justin's expression turned grim in an instant. He had never expected her to reject him, even after Ian had refused to save her when she was in danger."Vivian, what do you mean by that?" His voice turned cold. "You'd rather

Chapter 6

Ian's POVVivian's mouth fell open as she stared at me in disbelief, as if I were a stranger. "A-Are you still holding a grudge over that game I played with him?" She wiped away her tears, and a hint of grievance even crept into her voice. "I already told you it was just a game. Besides, when he proposed to me earlier, I turned him down. I've already given you more than enough consideration. How much longer are you going to keep this up? "Ian, enough is enough. My patience has its limits. Do you really have to be so petty?"Before I could respond, Isla, who was standing behind me, suddenly burst out laughing."I'm sorry, Mr. Gardner." Isla tidied her slightly disheveled hair. "I just found Ms. Leston's logic truly astounding. Wanting your cake and eating it too? That's quite an ugly look.""Who gave you the right to comment?" Vivian yelled, glaring viciously at Isla.I stepped aside, placing myself in front of Isla and shielding her from Vivian's hostile gaze.Vivian narrowed

Chapter 7

Ian's POVAfter finishing my work report in Dad's office, I was preparing to accompany him downstairs to inspect the new research and development center.The elevator doors opened, and I heard a commotion coming from the lobby."I'm Ian's fiancée! I need to see him urgently!"I frowned slightly and instinctively glanced at Dad beside me. His expression didn't shift. He merely gave me an indifferent glance and said, "It seems you still have some personal matters to settle.""I'm sorry. I'll take care of it," I replied quietly.As we stepped out of the elevator, a group of senior executives gathered around us. I immediately spotted Vivian, who was being stopped by the receptionist. Hearing the commotion, she whipped her head around.The moment our eyes met, delight spread across her face.But the next second, the employees greeted in unison, "Good morning, Mr. Adrian. Good morning, Mr. Ian."The respectful greetings left Vivian frozen in place, her eyes wide with disbelief. He

Chapter 8

Ian's POV"How dare you!" Vivian yelled, her face flushed red after Isla's words hit a nerve.I didn't want to waste any more time arguing with her. I opened the car door and let Isla get in first. I turned back and gave Vivian one final look. That single glance extinguished whatever hope she had left."Vivian, I won't interfere with Justin targeting you, but I won't kick you while you're down either—because you and your company are no longer worth anything to me," I said.With that, I slammed the door shut, shutting out the despair in her eyes.Isla watched as Vivian's figure faded into the distance in the rearview mirror. She then suddenly turned to me. "Do you feel bad?"I gazed at the streets rushing past outside the window and shook my head. "I just regret how foolish I was back then."…Later, with no help from me and no new investments, Vivian's company went bankrupt. Believing she had made a fool of him, Justin announced to everyone in their social circles that she
