On their third anniversary, Allison’s husband coldly asks for a divorce solely because his first love has returned. After three years of loyalty and sacrifice, she’s cast aside without hesitation. But Colton doesn’t know the truth: Allison isn’t a simple housewife, but a hidden genius. And walking away may bring the biggest loss to his life.
“And why, on our wedding day, did you send my parents to a hotel?” she continued, her voice rising. “Couldn’t you have prepared one of your family’s properties for them? They traveled a great distance, and yet you let them stay at some hotel. What will people think when they hear about this? How could…
“Kinslee, let me take you back. It’s dangerous out here.” “‘Back’? Back where?” Kinslee asked, her voice tinged with childlike bewilderment. “And who are you? I don’t know you, do I? Why do you know my name?” She clung to Allison’s hand, her brows furrowing as she struggled to remember. Suddenly, she stopped and stared…
Nearby, a group of fans buzzed with excitement. “Onyx Jimenez is amazing! He’s the hottest comic artist out there!” one of them exclaimed. “Yeah, and I heard he’s young – barely in his twenties – and really easy on the eyes. Plus, his stories are killer!” another added.

Behind her, the computer screen displayed line after line of complex code,…
Just then, Marc’s phone buzzed with a new message. “Use any method you need to get Allison out of the company. Once you do, there’s a handsome reward waiting for you, plus a chance to join the Stevens Group.” The message, sent by Melany, came with an extensive dossier. Marc had crossed paths with Melany…
Yet there was no reply from Allison. When they glanced up, they saw she had already left the restroom, as if nothing had happened. The tension in the air only heightened. Damn, they were even more on edge now. After all, no one knew when Allison might fire them. When Allison returned to the lab,…
“I took the reins on this one,” he declared confidently. “Mr. Lloyd, we appreciate the recognition. It’s simply part of our role. Honestly, I felt the pressure when we first reached out to Mr. Carman, and I’m equally relieved we nailed it. Supporting the company is our responsibility, so there’s no need for bonuses.” His…
When he caught sight of his favorite tea, his eyes sparkled. “Miss Clarke, how did you know this was my favorite?” “Last time you visited our company, you were wearing a fragrance that had this tea as a top note.
