“What? Tatiana?” Camilla shouted in disbelief.The atmosphere instantly froze. Silence gripped the air as everyone digested the shocking truth that had just been revealed.The ladies' eyes were clear and sharp, their gazes unapologetic as they glared directly at Tatiana, daring her to do her worst. After all, they had only spoken the truth.And if she tried anything foolish, two things were certain—one, the group would seriously deal with her, and two, she would only end up tarnishing her own image. After all, she was the public figure, not them.Tatiana remained mute, her lips trembling. Shame weighed so heavily on her that she couldn’t muster a single word.Desmond stood calmly, arms folded, watching the entire scene without flinching. He wasn’t surprised—Tatiana had done worse in the past. This was nothing new to him.Camilla, on the other hand, stood stunned. She couldn’t believe what she had just heard. Her childhood friend?

CHAPTER 1"Kra kra kra!"The sound of papers, lipstick, and other small items echoed in the room as they tumbled onto the tiled floor. Desmond Ashford had accidentally struck the bedroom shelf with the thick broom he was using to sweep.At the top of the shelf sat his wife’s bag, its zipper wide open. The force sent its contents falling out. Desmond bent down to pick them up, but as his fingers grazed over the scattered items, his breath hitched.His eyes landed on something, it made his vision blur for a split second.What?His fingers trembled as he picked up the objects, staring in utter disbelief."What???" He shouted, his voice laced with shock.He blinked. His mind raced. Was he seeing correctly?His pulse pounded as he rushed to the bed."Pa pa pa!" He tapped his wife, Tatiana Lancaster, on the back of her ankle, not daring to touch her elsewhere. She was still deep in sleep, not knowing what was happening around her."Pa pa!" He tapped again, more insistently.Tatiana stirr

CHAPTER 2As Desmond packed his few belongings, he opened his small shelf, letting everything spill onto the floor.Distress weighed on him like a heavy chain, each link forged from shattered memories. His heart clenched at the thought of leaving the only person who had once cared for him.Not long after, the doorknob turned, and a woman in her 40s appeared, it was Helena Lancaster, Tatiana’s mother.“How did it go? Did he accept?” Helena asked her daughter.“Why wouldn’t he? He has no choice.” Tatiana smirked.Desmond paused his packing and turned. Helena stepped toward him.“How’s the compensation my daughter gave you? That should be enough for your entire life.” She sneered.“Compensation? You knew about the divorce? You supported it? I never did anything wrong to her.” Desmond's voice was laced with disbelief.“Ki ki... What do you think a trash like you can do?” Helena scoffed. “You’ve been feeding under the Lancasters’ roof for years, yet you think you can do something?”“Is t

CHAPTER 3Zenith Lux is the supreme business body, with its net worth increasing every day. Its assets are over seven hundred billion dollars at the moment.This is where all elite and booming businesses must register and pass through before they can thrive. It was the gateway to power, the validation of true success.Then, Helena left the room to excuse her.After she left, Tatiana thought of both Desmond and Alexander. The former was nothing compared to the latter. Alexander was wealthy to a fault, and Desmond was as poor as a church rat.Tatiana couldn't believe she had dated such a man for years. There had been many wealthy suitors lining up for her. Is it Kingsley Wellington we should talk about? The eldest son of a well-known millionaire family group, the Wellingtons.The Wellingtons were one of the top wealthy families in Halcyon City, although not as wealthy as the Zacks. Kingsley Wellington had once wanted to marry Tatiana a few years back, but with the intervention of

CHAPTER 4At Zenith Lux, the most prestigious business empire in Halcyon City, luxury was the standard, and power dictated influence. The towering glass structure gleamed under the city lights, a symbol of absolute financial dominance. It was the kind of place where only the wealthiest dared to step foot.As Tatiana and Alexander stepped out of the grand establishment, their presence exuded elegance and power. They had just concluded an important meeting, one that only proved Alexander’s family's dominance in the business world.At that moment, a fleet of luxury cars pulled up to the front of Zenith Lux, their engines humming smoothly, radiating wealth and status. Among them, a single car stood out—sleek, black, and commanding attention like a swan among ducks. From it stepped Desmond Ashford.Dressed in a fitted dark suit that outlined his lean yet strong frame, Desmond exuded quiet confidence. Yet, unlike the men who flaunted their wealth, his presence carried an air of myster

CHAPTER 5After the two were done with their drama, Desmond gently tried to leave them. If he continued to prove anything, they still wouldn't believe him and would only continue to lash out at him.Seeing his silent treatment and indifferent reaction angered Tatiana even more. As he tried to move away, she stepped in front of him again, blocking his path.“How dare you leave just like that?” she snapped. “We ain't done.” She shouted. “What else? The last time I checked, everything was totally concluded this morning.” Desmond responded.Tatiana frowned. “You think you can go scot-free? I need compensation.”“Compensation?” Desmond exclaimed.“Yes, for being your wife all these years.”“No! You mean compensation for cheating on me the whole time we were married.”“Excuse me?” Tatiana scoffed. “Why not compensate me if you feel the letter from Nicholas Everstone was true?”Desmond was taken aback. He remembered leaving some of his belongings behind, including the letter addressed

CHAPTER 6“Now your wings have grown.If you aren’t a liar from the pit of hell, then explain the letter! Where did you get the pendant?“It’s truly a pity that I once married you. You were never my match, it was just an unworthy mistake.”She scoffed, her voice dripping with disdain.“It only proves that you’re not just a penniless orphan but someone whose common sense is completely derailed.”“Again, Desmond, I demand compensation. If not, you’ll regret this.”Desmond, drained of his last bit of energy, barely reacted.He had no interest in her theatrics anymore. They were divorced now and that was all that mattered. And to top it off, she wasn’t even the person he had believed her to be.What else was left? He just needed to leave.“What do you want?” he asked calmly.If giving her what she wanted meant ending this drama once and for all, Desmond was ready. He had more important things to focus on—like finding the right girl.Tatiana’s eyes widened slightly at his response.She

CHAPTER 7The slight scar on Desmond’s head was the result of hitting his head on a rock-like stone at the orphanage home. He had pushed Tatiana away from danger that year, saving her life. After receiving treatment, only a faint mark remained.Oh my God! The very person he had nearly lost his life for, risking everything to rescue her, enduring the pain of the injury, and suffering through the treatment, had not only betrayed him but had also laughed at what she caused. If fate had been unkind, it could have been her life lost instead.He had shielded her from death, yet she showed nothing but ungratefulness. The cheating, the divorce, and now this? Laughing at him, mocking his efforts, belittling him as if he were worthless?Desmond instantly shook off the thought. It was all in the past and no longer mattered. What mattered now was finding the one who had been there for him in his darkest times."Since all your big talk has led nowhere, it only proves that you’re just an empty

CHAPTER 14
How could the Frederick Group, a company of such caliber, have reached that stage without assistance?Impossible!She must be lying about doing nothing. She just doesn’t want anyone to know. That way, the masses wouldn’t see them as weak. But the truth is obvious, no one even needs to say it out loud."Okay, fine. Do you remember this?" Tatiana pulled out a golden pendant, shaking it slightly. It was the one Desmond had forgotten while packing away from the Lancaster villa.Just then, a man dressed casually appeared on the scene.It was Desmond. He spotted Camilla from afar and walked over to check on her."Oh! Is this yours? Of course, I do. We both had it when we were kids," Camilla said.Instantly, Tatiana turned to Desmond, her eyes filled with disdain."What the hell are you doing here? Does this place look like somewhere cheap people like you are welcome?" she scoffed in irritation."What I do here is none of your business." Desmond exhaled, his voice was sharp and nonchalant.
CHAPTER 13
“Uhh... what..” Alexander was about to speak before his father abruptly ended the call.It felt like a dream. His father hadn’t finished his sentence, but Alexander already knew something cruel had happened.As the call disconnected, his phone screen lit up with various notifications. The first one he clicked on was from the Zenith Lux page, where a bold statement glared back at him:“The Zack family group has been completely removed from its partnership with Zenith Lux.”“What!” His eyes widened in disbelief.His chest tightened, his pulse quickened, and within seconds, his once-immaculate suit was damp with sweat.Frantically, he lifted his head, his gaze darting around the hospital walls as if searching for answers.Could this mean the Fredericks had finally gained the upper hand?Power strong enough to bring down the mighty Zack family?Oh, shit.It was high time Alex swallowed his pride and apologized to Camilla.It seemed like she was the key to all of this.“I have to stay calm
CHAPTER 12
Meanwhile, as Camilla rested on the sleek metallic chair, she slowly glanced through her phone. What she saw was astonishing.She squinted her eyes, reading again to be sure she wasn’t imagining things.“How?” she whispered in surprise.“Just now, the Zack Group has been completely canceled from partnering with Zenith Lux.” Her voice trembled with disbelief.“Has the new president found them unworthy? Or did Mr. Harrison just decide this out of the blue?” she muttered to herself, trying to process the situation.She kept thinking about how everything had shifted so drastically—from Zack Group being at the top to getting demoted, and now vanishing completely.How was this even possible? She couldn’t fathom it.“See this,” Camilla turned her phone towards Desmond, urging him to take a look.Desmond already knew what she wanted to show him. He took a quick glance and nodded with a knowing smile.“Are you sure you saw what I just showed you? They’ve been dismissed by Zenith Lux!” she said
CHAPTER 11
Moments later, Alex and Tatiana entered Zenith Lux, heading straight to Harrison’s office.Just then, they spotted Camilla in front of the elevator, waiting for it to arrive. She was on her way to finalizing Fredericks' documentation, securing the top spot on the ultra-exclusive list.Without hesitation, Alex moved toward her, his anger boiling. If looks could kill, Camilla wouldn’t be standing upright with the way Alexander looked at her while approaching. Alex was burning to the core. If water were poured on him, it would sizzle away instantly.“You… just tell me how.”Camilla stiffened. “Excuse me?”She knew what the Zacks were like, but she hadn’t expected an attack this early.Alex smirked, giving a slow, mocking clap. “Tell me, how does it feel to climb to the top overnight?”“What’s with all this embarrassment? Are you here to fight me or…” Camilla responded.“Oh, don’t play innocent,” he sneered. “We both know your family isn’t worthy of that position. So, tell me, what e

CHAPTER 10Camilla walked out of the office, her steps slow and heavy, as if the weight of the world rested on her shoulders. The rejection stung, but she forced herself to keep her head high. She had tried her best, there was nothing more she could do.As she reached the elevator, her phone buzzed in her pocket. She hesitated, pulling it out. An unknown number.“Hello?” she answered, her voice low.“Miss Camilla, please return to Mr. Harrison’s office immediately,” the voice instructed.Her breath caught. Was this another rejection? Another reason to humiliate her? But she had no choice. Turning around, she retraced her steps, her heart hammering with uncertainty.Back in the office, Desmond had already instructed Harrison to accept the Fredericks as new partners.As Camilla got back to the office, she hesitated.“Mr. Harrison?” she asked, her voice guarded.“Yes. Miss Camilla, I need to review your file once again.”For a second, she didn’t understand. Then realization dawned.
CHAPTER 9
CHAPTER 9At that moment, Desmond spoke up.“Why not attend to her, Mr. Harrison?” Desmond said, thinking he could probably recollect better if he fixed his gaze on her for a longer time.However, he wanted to know why she was here and why she was panicking. From her actions, something serious must be happening to her.Desmond would be glad to assist her.If she was the lady he thought, good for him.Otherwise, she would be lucky.“Yes, sir,” Arthur responded. Like a well-oiled machine, he quickly rushed to attend to Camilla.“How may I help you, Miss Camilla?”“Uhm… sir, I’m here to bring to your notice that the Frederick Group has not been placed, but we have passed the five crucial stages. Perhaps there was a mix-up,” she said, her voice trembling.“Oh? Can I have proof of that?” Arthur inquired.“Here it is, sir,” Camilla said, stretching forward the spiral-banded documents in her hand, which clearly stated where the Frederick Group had passed the stages. Her hands were slightl

CHAPTER 8“I can see and appreciate your effort towards getting it done, but you can keep it with you for the meantime,” Desmond said.At the hearing of this, Harrison almost panicked again. He thought Desmond was annoyed, but was only stylishly responding calmly.“Sir, I'm sorry. I'm here to do whatever you command and would not in any way stress you or intentionally do what you would not like. I'm so sorry, Sir. Nothing of such would happen again,” Arthur pleaded.“If you do not mind, I can help deliver it to the owner's doorstep in less than thirty minutes. I promise to meet up this time around, Sir,” he continued, fixing his gaze on Desmond to make sure he read all his body language, trying to understand what it meant.“It’s fine, don’t bother. It’s just not needed anymore,” Desmond said.“Be calm. You don’t have issues with me, I assure you,” Desmond added, his tone cool.“Uhm, I need to ask about something quick” “Yes, Sir,” Harrison replied, leaning closer to Desmond as thoug
