The CEO’s Regretful Pursuit of His Wife

On the eve of her best friend’s wedding, she was caught in bed with the bride-to-be’s fiancé. Her reputation in ruins and her family bankrupt, she had no choice but to beg the man she despised, offering to marry him. On their wedding night, she listened to the “show” from outside his door all night, only to learn that he had orchestrated the whole thing. He tormented her with near-cruelty, and she could only endure it in silence. Over the next six months, his shifts between tenderness and cruelty gradually drew her in. She thought he must love her, at least a little... Later, she learned that he didn’t love her. He loved a pair of eyes that weren’t hers. When his mistress appeared, three months pregnant, she discovered that he could be tender after all. Both women were pregnant, but he left divorce papers behind so his mistress’s child could have a name, while she lay on an operating table, forced to watch as her six-month-old baby was taken from her. She thought they would never be entangled again, but then he appeared like a god. “You haven’t paid your debt yet...” Despair and anguish overwhelmed her. On that dark night, she threw herself into the sea, seeking release.
