I omitted the minor detail that our entire marriage had been a contractual transaction from day one. I hastened to add the good news, hoping to soften the blow. ‘But I’ve got a new job with a big company, Velos Capital. And I’ve just been promoted.

Too full of dreams she no longer believed in. Her gaze shifted. Florence. Quiet. Anonymous. Far from Ethan’s reach. Her heart thudded painfully as she booked the ticket. One-way. That evening, Ava sat on the edge of her bed, staring at the confirmation email. Her life had become a series of irreversible decisions. Divorce. Silence. Escape. Her phone buzzed again.

By using her feminine traits, her hard work paid off and she rose through the corporate ranks at an incredible pace. But despite her outward success, Irene felt unfulfilled and empty inside. She had sacrificed her personal life and relationships for her career journey, and now she felt lonely and disconnected. Her marriage, in particular, had suffered. Her husband, Richard, was a successful entrepreneur who shared her drive and ambition. But their relationship had become more of a business partnership than a romantic one. They rarely had time for each other, and when they did, their conversations were often strained and superficial or revolved around their 5years old daughter Mia.

You can’t keep living together like this forever, can you?” I smiled. Of course I had no intention of continuing to live this way.

His shoulders sagged. "No. You aren’t." I shook my head, stepping back. "Thanks for considering this divorce. I really do deserve someone better."

"Okay," I continued, forcing steadiness into my tone. "Since we’re getting divorced, I have a small favor to ask." "A favor?" His brows drew together faintly.

They always did. She had grown used to whispers over the years, but tonight had been different. Tonight they had not even bothered lowering their voices. A CEO divorcing his “ordinary” wife in front of the city’s elite was entertainment. And Victor Hale had delivered it perfectly. Aurora felt her fingers tighten slightly in her lap.

The car loan had just been paid off the year they got divorced. During those few years, Rosaline could not save at all. She had to calculate every penny they spent and think about how to save money every day, but Shaun was the kind of person who spent money lavishly and cared a lot about his ego. The two often quarreled about these things. But even so, her marriage to Shaun was still vulnerable in front of that rich woman. After the divorce, Rosaline felt that her life was not so tiring anymore. She did not have to calculate money all day long, and she felt relaxed, both mentally and physically. Silvia even said that she looked younger and more beautiful.

he began, but she cut him off. "Do you have the slightest idea that I am recently divorced? And not just from anyone, but from Logan Steele? What will people say? That I broke up with him to be with CEO Caspian Michaelson!" She scoffed, running her fingers through her hair as she pondered. This was one thing she was avoiding: more troubles, but now, they had actually come to her. “Listen, Julia…” Caspian said softly, taking a step closer and gently placing his hands on her shoulders. His touch was firm yet comforting.

“Then we can dig further. Right now, she is meant to be working at her company, but she is working from home, and attending virtual meetings. She is also back with a man who never loved her and staying in his room? Why? Have you not thought of it? Everything is so weird.” “Their marriage or relationship together will benefit them, and I am sure they both know it, so that is why they are probably back together despite getting a divorce.
