On their second-year wedding anniversary, Emily stood before her husband clutching a positive pregnancy test. But her world shattered when Alexander Stratton, the cold-blooded billionaire whose heart seemed impenetrable, uttered the words that would change everything: 'I want a divorce.' In the aftermath of Alex's callous declaration, Emily vanished from his life without a trace. Yet, unexpectedly, Alex's heart stirred with a newfound urgency to find her, his once-dismissive attitude replaced by an insatiable quest to locate the woman he had unknowingly driven away. Months turned into a relentless pursuit. Then, one fateful day, amidst the bustling city streets, Alex's determined search led him to a heart-stopping encounter: Emily, with a child at her side. 'Whose child is this?' Alex's voice reverberated with a mixture of disbelief and longing as he confronted the unexpected sight before him...
Leaving the board room, Emily walked down the long hallway toward her office, each step feeling heavier than the last. The atmosphere was thick, not just with the echo of her footsteps but with the weight of betrayal that pressed against her chest. The corridor, once a familiar and welcoming path, now felt cold and distant, stretching out endlessly. The fluorescent lights overhead buzzed faintly, casting a sterile glow that seemed to drain the life out of the space around her. Ed followed behind her, his footsteps faster and filled with agitation as the tension of the recent meeting lingered in the air.
"Miss Johnson, are you really going to let her get away with that?" Ed's voice broke through the heavy silence, his words sharp with frustration. His face was tight with anger, his hands still clenched from witnessing the sham vote that removed Emily from her position.
