CEO Regrets Divorcing Me
Four years into her marriage, when the dazzling woman from her husband’s past returned, Alyssa Jones finally understood the truth.
Her husband, Justin Scott, was not cold by nature; he had withheld both affection and intimacy, saving them for his first love.
He gave Alyssa a monthly allowance of six hundred dollars yet spent six hundred thousand dollars on research for the woman he truly cherished.
The difference between being loved and being ignored was revealed in the most humiliating way.
Justin claimed he couldn’t bear to let his “true love” be worn down by the trivialities of marriage.
Yet he demanded that Alyssa quit her one-thousand-a-month job and settle into the role of a full-time housewife, willingly fading into obscurity.
What Justin never knew was that Alyssa was no ordinary employee.
For four years, she had been in charge of a nationally classified research project. Her clearance was so high that even the woman he idolized was qualified only to work under her.
What he also never realized was that the document he signed so casually was the divorce agreement that ended their marriage.
One month later, Alyssa’s identity as a leading scientific authority was made public and the finalized divorce certificate was delivered to Justin.
The CEO who had always been gentle and composed tore it apart, disbelief turning into red-eyed fury.
“Other than me, who would want a divorced woman like her?”
Yet the one who spoke so harshly was also the one who later knelt, begging for reconciliation.
When they met again, Alyssa appeared with her arm lightly linked through the hand of Lucien Wells, the man in control of one of the most powerful elite families.
She looked at her ex-husband without the slightest trace of emotion.
Lucien raised an eyebrow and calmly produced a marriage certificate.
“Mind your manners, Mr. Scott. You should address her as Mrs. Wells.”
