"Ms. Shaw, your resignation has already been signed off by Mr. Frey, but it seems like he doesn't know it was from you.

"Ms. Shaw, Mr. Frey still cares about you. A lot of people here think you two will end up together. Maybe you should think this over."Hearing that, Lexi lets out a bitter laugh. What the others don't know is that she and Jeremy Frey are already married—just secretly.Three months ago, she was in a car accident and fractured her spine.

A man like that belongs in the trash. Now that she's mostly recovered, it's time to move on.Snapping out of her thoughts, she replies calmly, "People change. I stood by him through the toughest three years of his life. That's enough."Jeremy has only ever loved her best friend, Tricia.

Billionaire's Regret, Too Late!
"Lucien, let's get a divorce," I said in a peremptory tone that was long overdue, the most decisive farewell to this absurd marriage.We had been married for exactly three years—three years that, for me, were filled with nothing but endless loneliness and torment.For three years, the husband who should have stood by my side through every storm, Lucien Sullivan, had completely disappeared from my life as if he had never existed. He vanished without a trace, leaving me alone to endure this empty, desolate marriage.Today, I finally received his message:"I'm back. Come pick me up at the airport."When I read his words, my heart leapt with joy, and I raced to the airport, thinking that he finally understood my love and was coming back to me.

Even if these wounds will remain with me for the rest of my life, I refuse to have anything to do with him ever again.He should know that it was his own hand that trampled our love underfoot, that his coldness and betrayal created this irreparable situation. But when he heard those words, he desperately clung to this broken, crumbling marriage, unwilling to let it end—almost as though doing so could rewind time and return everything to how it used to be."Aurora, come back. I regret everything!"Regret? Those simple words stirred no emotion in me—only endless sadness and fury. My heart let out a frantic, desperate scream: It's too late for any of this!
