After the Divorce, My Ex-Wife Regretted It

The previous plot idea got stuck, so I've changed to a new blurb. The entire novel is written in advance, with plenty to read, and there will be no missed updates.

Please add it to your collection. Once there are enough saves to get it on the rankings, I'll start posting.

[Marriage First, Love Later | The Ex-Wife Chase (A Raging Fire) | Bittersweet, Angsty Romance]

[Steady, Reserved Lab Assistant Alpha X Sharp-Tongued, Soft-Hearted CEO Omega]

Lu Xu fell in love with her wife, Jiang Yun Zhen, whom she had married under an agreement.

Jiang Yun Zhen was refined, aloof, and highly capable. She was the new head of the Jiang Pharmaceutical Group.

Lu Xu, by contrast, was merely the leader of one small team among dozens of research teams at a pharmaceutical research center under the Jiang Group.

Their status was worlds apart.

Everyone in the group knew that their CEO had gotten married, but no one knew that she was Jiang Yun Zhen's wife.

Register the marriage but keep it secret. Divorce after three years.

That was the first clause of their prenuptial agreement.

Knowing Jiang Yun Zhen had married her only because she had no choice, Lu Xu kept her feelings to herself and didn't get close, even though she was attracted to her.

She had always kept her distance, but Jiang Yun Zhen was the one who came to provoke her.

During her heat, Jiang Yun Zhen knocked on Lu Xu's door. A faint blush tinged her usually cool face. “I forgot to buy suppressants. Could you help me?”

Everything that followed came naturally.

Countless nights later, the reserved and self-controlled CEO Jiang, so abstinent during the day, would wrap her arms around Lu Xu's neck and whisper her name again and again. “Lu Xu.”

Jiang Yun Zhen remembered Lu Xu's preferences and helped her make up for things she'd missed out on as a child. Their intimacy was no longer limited to the night, and they increasingly seemed like a loving married couple.

Lu Xu thought Jiang Yun Zhen loved her too.

Until the night before Lu Xu planned to confess her feelings, Jiang Yun Zhen left the country without a word.

To look after her ex-girlfriend, who had been injured in a car accident.

The love Lu Xu had believed in was nothing but a joke she'd made up in her own head.

Before their three-year agreement was up, Jiang Yun Zhen's ex-girlfriend came back.

She could get the usually low-key Jiang Yun Zhen to reserve an entire hot spring resort for her birthday.

She could also summon Jiang Yun Zhen with a single phone call, even if Jiang Yun Zhen had been leaning against Lu Xu's shoulder and breathing softly just a moment earlier.

No matter how much Lu Xu tried to fool herself, her heart still hurt.

After being disappointed again and again, Lu Xu finally said, “Let's go to the civil affairs bureau sometime.”

*

Their friends all thought Jiang Yun Zhen didn't love Lu Xu, and that the only reason she hadn't divorced her was that Ning Yan had yet to return from abroad.

But instead of seeing Jiang Yun Zhen get back together with Ning Yan, they saw the usually aloof Omega with red eyes, clinging to the Alpha's hand and refusing to let go as she begged softly, “Lu Xu, could you give me one more chance?”

P.S. The Omega doesn't cheat; there's a misunderstanding.

The Alpha is biologically female and has no extra parts. This is my take on ABO, and there will be a baby in the bonus chapters.

Theme: Treasure what you have now. Don't wait until it's gone to regret it.
