Amanda asks, noticing my reaction. I quickly, shake my head. “ No, just surprised.” Three years since our divorce, and now he is a top model, his face plastered everywhere. I had kicked him out of my house like stinking trash. At the time I never thought he was someone capable of attaining his own success. He was such a committed house husband who never seemed passionate about achieving anything else. Which is why it's difficult to believe that he is the super talented model that every that every brand and modeling agency now wants.

It’s why I always try to tone it down at any school event. Getting a job at the prestigious Arborheight University was my fresh start. I got the job while going through a nasty divorce. It’s the only thing I have that isn’t connected to my ex-husband, and it led to me having things that belonged only to me: my apartment, my car, my life.

I said. "First we get you a job. Something good, something that starts rebuilding your financial independence quietly. Then when you have enough to stand on your own two feet — you divorce him. You build from there. And when you are ready, when you are strong enough, you come back for your share of that business. It was willed to both of you by your grandparents. He cannot erase that. But you need to be in a position of strength before you go after it." I sat with that for a long moment.

I interrupted him softly, my tone resolute, leaving no room for discussion. The answer had been clear from the beginning—there was no need for further questioning. The steel stamp came down, and everything was over. After the divorce, my career progress soared. My business expanded rapidly, and I was on track to rival Simon Group. Carter’s father attempted to persuade him to reconcile with me, but he refused. He knew I would never turn back. From that point onward, I cut off all contact with Carter. Even at business events, I never saw him again.

“Victor it's alright, let's be happy our baby is back with us safe and sound.” My dad leaned forward. “You know what comes next, your position in the company…” “Dad, I'm barely myself, I just got divorced, I can't think about…” He interrupted me. “Don’t you think you owe your mother and me? It would be damaging to our reputation if you appear unmarried till and now that you’re taking over a part of the company, don’t you think it’s okay to settle with someone better?” Can’t I get a break from men? I’ve had enough.

“I choose Maria; let’s end our engagement.” She managed to not just get everyone on her side but actively made them see her as the victim and me as the big bad bully who was jealous of her. She kept up this act, even now. “You must be a complete mess, going through all that you're going through.” She pulled away to take a better look at me. I smiled, knowing she expected me to affirm her secret prayers that I wasn't doing well. “I'm actually feeling the best I've ever felt in the longest time. The divorce was a blessing; now I'm focused on work, and even Dad wants me back.”

Abigail whined. "Oh, the complexity of love," Diane said sarcastically. "So he's not giving you the attention you deserve or what?" "That's just a part of the problem, the main thing is, I think he's still into his ex-wife." "You married a divorcee?" Diane asked, her tone laced with judgment. "You've been divorced three times, Diane, and besides, he buys all my jewelry," Abigail rolled her eyes at her. "Okay, fair point. Anyway, what do you want to do about it?"

"Not anymore. You see, when you so helpfully signed our divorce agreement, you also signed over full ownership of the company to me." "What?” Melanie asked weakly. “That can’t be right." There was a hint of a smile on Hardin’s face as he answered. "Surprised? This company is mine now, Melanie. You signed it over along with everything else." Melanie staggered backwards in shock. Dear God, what has she done? How could this be happening? "Here, darling sis, take a good look.” Natalia slid the divorce papers from yesterday across the table. Shakily, Melanie picked them up, and her eyes scanned the fine print rapidly, then landed on the highlighted clause at the bottom of the last page.

“But I do now.” “I'm happy to hear that regardless,” Nathan replied. “Do you have a girlfriend yet then or do you still not believe in things like that?” “There's a woman in my life, the mother of my daughter who is also the love of my life but we're not formally dating yet,” I replied. “You know that ex-wife I told you about, she's the one.” “Wait, your ex-wife had a kid while you were divorced?” Nathan gasped. “And then you've fallen in love with her again, that's really crazy and intense, man.”
