After that, while dealing with the divorce proceedings, I also returned to work at my family’s company.
Fortunately, when my parents learned of my decision, they were very supportive.
During the day, I threw myself completely into work, gradually familiarizing myself with the company’s management alongside my father.
At night, I picked up some of my old business administration courses.
I admit, sometimes just a momentary distraction or a gap in time would allow negative emotions to creep in, threatening to drag me back to my old self.
But I ran, worked out, learned instruments, never stopping.
Finally, I began to heal.
Meanwhile, Alexander, who had been silent for a while, appeared before me again.
He set off fireworks all over the city for me.
Used the biggest billboard in the CBD to profess his love.
Gave me all the gifts he had missed for those overlooked days – our wedding anniversary, my birthday, Valentine’s Day, Christmas…
And reported his whereabouts to me 24/7, whether he was on a business trip or working overtime, not missing a single detail.
In the past, my heart would have melted into a puddle.
But now, I felt only impatience and annoyance.
It turns out, after completely letting go of someone, no matter how much they do, it’s just interference.
Standing on the balcony, I spoke coldly to that figure who had been standing outside the gate for days:
“Go away, don’t make me call the police.”
But he looked dejectedly at the lawyer standing beside me and spoke hoarsely.
“Olivia, I’ve already punished Chloe.”
“I’ve cut off all ties with the women outside.”
“That’s why I dare to come see you now.”
“Now, I just want to ask for your forgiveness.”
I turned away indifferently, instructing security to drive him away.
