Semua Bab MY EX'S FATHER THE MAN I CHOSE TO MARRY: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Arabella Rose Montgomery had always believed that love was supposed to last forever.Not the kind of love people talked about in fairy tales, where everything ended with a perfect wedding and a happily ever after, but the kind built on honesty, loyalty, patience, and promises kept even when life became difficult.She believed that when two people genuinely loved each other, they would never intentionally do anything to destroy what they had built together.Unfortunately, she was about to discover how wrong she could be.Standing in front of the enormous mirror in her bedroom, Arabella carefully adjusted the delicate silver necklace around her neck. Her long, chestnut-brown hair fell in soft waves over her shoulders, complementing the elegant cream-colored dress she had chosen for the evening.She was twenty-five, young, and hopeful about the future.Tonight was supposed to be special.Alexander Blackwood, her boyfriend of three years, had invited her to dinner at one of the most exclu

The next morning, Arabella Rose Montgomery woke up feeling hopeful.Despite the uncertainty surrounding her relationship with Alexander, she refused to let her doubts control her happiness. She believed that every relationship had difficult moments, and she was willing to work through them.After finishing breakfast, she picked up her phone and sent Alexander a message.Arabella: Good morning, Alex. I hope you slept well. I miss you.She waited for his reply while getting ready for the day.Several minutes passed before her phone finally vibrated.Alexander: Morning, sweetheart. I'm already at the office. I'll call you later.Arabella smiled at the message.Arabella: Don't forget to eat lunch. Take care of yourself. Love you.Alexander: Love you too.She placed her phone inside her handbag.Those three words were enough to make her smile, even though she wished he had more time for her.Meanwhile, inside Blackwood Corporation, Alexander was reviewing several business documents when hi

Arabella Rose Montgomery barely slept that night.Every time she closed her eyes, the same painful image returned—Alexander kissing Vanessa beside his car.She had spent three years believing she was the only woman in his heart. Now, she wondered how many times he had lied to her while pretending everything was perfect.The following morning, she stood in front of her bedroom mirror, trying to gather her courage.Today, she would face him.She would no longer accept excuses.After breakfast, Arabella picked up her phone and called Alexander.He answered after several rings."Good morning, sweetheart."Hearing his familiar voice made her chest tighten."Alexander, we need to talk.""Can it wait? I'm busy.""No. It's important."He sighed impatiently."Fine. I'll see you at the office this afternoon.""Promise?""Of course, Bella. I love you."Arabella closed her eyes.Those words no longer comforted her."See you later," she replied before ending the call.At Blackwood Corporation, Ale

Arabella Rose Montgomery had barely slept that night.Every time she closed her eyes, the image of Alexander and Vanessa together returned to her mind. She remembered the promises, the romantic dinners, and the engagement ring she had once treasured.Three years.Three years of believing she was the only woman in his life.Now, everything felt like a carefully constructed lie.The following morning, Arabella stood in front of her bedroom mirror, trying to compose herself. She had decided that she would no longer allow Alexander's betrayal to control her life.Her phone suddenly vibrated on the bedside table.It was an unfamiliar number.She hesitated before answering."Hello?""Arabella, it's Alexander."Her expression immediately hardened."What do you want?""Please, Bella. We need to talk.""There's nothing left to discuss.""Just give me fifteen minutes. I owe you an explanation."Arabella closed her eyes.She wanted to refuse, but there were questions that had been haunting her s

Arabella Rose Montgomery stood before the mirror, carefully adjusting her blouse. She had barely slept the previous night, but she knew there was something she needed to do.She needed to face Alexander one final time.For three years, she had imagined spending the rest of her life with him. She had believed his promises, defended his mistakes, and sacrificed pieces of herself to keep their relationship alive.But everything had changed.She picked up the small velvet box containing the engagement ring and slipped it into her handbag.Today, she would return it.Her phone suddenly vibrated.Alexander: We need to talk. Meet me at the restaurant where we first celebrated our anniversary. Three o'clock.Arabella stared at the message.A bitter smile crossed her lips.How ironic.The same man who had once made her feel special was now the reason she struggled to recognize herself.Arabella: Fine. But this will be our last conversation.She put down her phone and took a deep breath.There
