After seven years together, Zane Vance never once told Darcy Gale he loved her. When his first love Zora returns, he gives her everything Darcy was promised—including the vice president role. Hearing Zane admit she was only a habit, Darcy walks away and accepts a CEO position at a rival company. As she rises in success, Zane returns too late, begging for her to come back—only to find her already claimed by someone who never let her go.
Zane Vance’s childhood crush, the one he’d held in his heart for over a decade, had returned to the country after finishing her studies. First, he forgot about their appointment to pick out her wedding dress. Then, without a second thought, he gave the Vice President position at his company to that same woman. Darcy…
Kaia couldn’t hide her disappointment. After hanging up, Darcy went downstairs for breakfast, then prepared to get a taxi home. Just then, a WhatsApp message popped up. “Ms. Gale, have you considered my proposal from yesterday?” The sender was Jethro Blackwood, heir to the Blackwood Group. Before Darcy could reply, another message followed. “My offer…
Ione patted her head. “Don’t push yourself too hard. If it’s too much, talk to Zane. He’s going to be your husband soon. It’s his job to look out for his wife.” Mentioning it was like opening the floodgates. The tears Darcy had been holding back threatened to spill over. How could she tell her…
That wasn’t like her. Is she angry? He pulled out his phone and searched for her name on WhatsApp. He rubbed his temples and called her. At home, Darcy heard her phone vibrate. She picked it up. It was Zane. She paused, not answering immediately. Ione looked puzzled. “What’s wrong, dear? Why aren’t you answering…
Mostly, she was afraid of disturbing Alistair and afraid to see disappointment on his face. In her current state, she couldn’t face him. He seemed to see right through her. “No, you have to come. Prof. Reed mentions you often. He’d be happy to see you.” As if afraid she’d refuse, Bram quickly added, “It’s…
She’s a founding employee. Everyone’s seen how hard she’s worked all these years. Is he sidelining her now? Faye was furious, fuming and wanting to fight for Darcy. Other colleagues quickly pulled her away. Outside the conference room, a senior colleague tried to calm her. “We know you’re close to Ms. Gale, but now isn’t…
Rex was taken aback. It was rare to see this more approachable side of his boss. In such a hurry… a date? But with whom? Dr. Moss? Or Darcy? Rex sighed inwardly. Whoever it is, it’s none of my business. Zane took the elevator to the underground parking garage. The lights of his Maybach flashed.…
“What? Called off?” Zane was stunned, his heart beginning to pound. “Yes. The engagement with the Blackwoods is off. I’ve verified it from multiple sources. It’s true.” “Why was it called off?” Olena snorted, “Why else? The Blackwoods’ second son is a known playboy. The Moss family has outgrown that sort of match now. He…
“How do you think she landed the CEO spot here out of the blue?” “How else? Must be because Mr. Blackwood likes her.” “Tch. I wonder what he sees in her. She’s not even that great-looking. Nowhere near as beautiful as my goddess, Dr. Moss. Dr. Moss is a rare beauty in our field.” “Don’t…
Darcy mentally reviewed Stratagem’s organizational chart and recalled the name. “Oh, Cindy!” “Yes. She grew up overseas and is very… free-spirited. Stubborn, with a mind of her own. No one in the family can control her.” Speaking of his rebellious, unpredictable sister, Jethro looked utterly helpless. Even Darcy was amused. “Actually, Stratagem was originally set…
