Chapter 32 —The Trap
Aurelia crossed her arms, her expression hardening as her voice grew colder. “You will leave with nothing. Not one dollar, not one asset, nothing at all.”A heavy silence spread across the gym as her words settled in. Even Clara looked stunned by the blunt cruelty of the statement.Alexander stared at Aurelia, disbelief flickering briefly in his eyes before it faded.“What did you just say?” he asked quietly.Aurelia lifted her chin, completely certain of herself.“The company belongs to me. The villa belongs to me. The money belongs to me,” she said, emphasizing each point. “You walk away with nothing.”Something inside Alexander finally broke, not because of the money, but because of what her words revealed.For three years, he had given everything he had. He had poured in his time, his effort, his loyalty, his dignity, and even his future.Yet she now stood in front of him as if he had contributed nothing at all, as if he had simply been living off her generosity.A low laugh escap
Chapter 31 —The Woman Who Chose Him
Clara waved cheerfully. “Good morning, Coach.”Several nearby trainees immediately turned their attention toward them, sensing something far more interesting than routine training.Alexander rubbed his forehead. “What are you doing here?”Clara placed a hand over her chest in mock offense. “What kind of question is that?”She lifted a brand-new pair of boxing gloves with a proud smile. “I came for boxing lessons.”Alexander glanced at the gloves, then back at her, and then once more at the gloves, as if hoping they might offer a more reasonable explanation. “You don’t box.”“I can learn.”“You’ve never mentioned boxing.”“I’ve never mentioned skydiving either. That doesn’t mean I can’t try it.”The gym owner burst into laughter at her answer.Clara pointed directly at Alexander. “I specifically requested him.”“That’s true,” the owner confirmed immediately, grinning. “Our handsome new coach has become very popular.”Alexander shot him a warning look, which the owner wisely took as his
Chapter 30 —The Impossible Divorce
The rain from the previous night had stopped, but the chill it left behind still lingered in the air.Sunlight streamed through the apartment windows, casting long golden beams across the living room. From the outside, the weather looked calm and inviting, almost deceptively peaceful.Alexander felt none of it.A dull ache pulsed behind his eyes as he sat alone at the dining table. Although his clothes from the previous day had already been washed and hung to dry, the cold from walking home through the storm seemed to have settled deep into his bones.A cup of tea rested beside him, untouched and slowly losing its warmth.Across the table lay a neatly prepared document—the divorce agreement. Its pages were carefully arranged, waiting in silence, much like the man sitting in front of them.Alexander checked the time again. It was nine twenty-three.Aurelia had said nothing after receiving his message. There had been no call, no apology, and no attempt at explanation. The silence from h
Chapter 29 —The Message That Changed Everything
The taxi screeched to a halt outside the luxury hotel, its tires scraping sharply against the wet pavement. Before the driver had fully parked, Aurelia pushed the door open and stepped out into the cold night air. A gust of wind brushed against her face, but she barely noticed. Her heart was racing too fast, her thoughts too loud.The secretary’s frantic messages echoed relentlessly in her mind—thirty-nine degrees, refusing treatment, possible complications, the risk of losing consciousness. Each phrase pressed harder against her chest, urging her forward. The more she thought about it, the faster her pace became, until walking was no longer enough.By the time she reached the elevator, she was almost running.She stepped inside impatiently and pressed the button, her fingers trembling slightly. “Hurry up…” she muttered under her breath as the numbers climbed at an agonizing pace. Every passing second stretched unnaturally long, feeding her growing unease.When the elevator finally ch
Chapter 28 —The Choice She Makes Again
Aurelia frowned slightly as the phone rang again. Under normal circumstances, she disliked being interrupted during her personal time, especially on a day like this. Today was supposed to be different. Today was meant to repair what had been broken between them.She glanced at Alexander with a hint of apology before answering the call.“Hello?” she said, her tone edged with impatience. “What is it? I’m with my husband. If it’s not important, call later.”Her secretary’s anxious voice came through immediately. “President Aurelia, it’s Mr. Virel.”Aurelia’s brows drew together. “What happened?”The panic in the secretary’s voice was unmistakable. “Mr. Virel has a very high fever. The doctor measured thirty-nine degrees, but he refused treatment. He won’t take medicine, and he won’t go to the hospital.”Aurelia’s expression shifted slightly, though she said nothing.The secretary continued, growing more desperate. “We’ve tried everything. He says he’ll only cooperate if you come.”Alexan
Chapter 27 — The Ferris Wheel Promise
Morning sunlight filtered through the apartment windows, casting long golden streaks across the floor.Alexander woke before anyone else, as he always did. Years of habit had made it impossible for him to sleep in, and even after everything that had happened over the past few days, the divorce papers, the arguments, the incident at the boxing gym, and the emotional strain, his body still followed its usual routine. Almost unconsciously, he made his way into the kitchen.Before long, the apartment filled with familiar, comforting sounds. Eggs crackled in the pan as they fried, porridge bubbled steadily on the stove, and dishes clinked softly as he moved with practiced ease.The rich aroma of toasted bread spread through the air, blending with the faint fragrance of freshly sliced fruit arranged neatly on small plates. A kettle of tea steamed quietly nearby.Without realizing it, Alexander prepared everything exactly the way Aurelia liked.The awareness only struck him once he finished.
