"Lucien, let's get a divorce," I said in a peremptory tone that was long overdue, the most decisive farewell to this absurd marriage.
We had been married for exactly three years—three years that, for me, were filled with nothing but endless loneliness and torment.
For three years, the husband who should have stood by my side through every storm, Lucien Sullivan, had completely disappeared from my life as if he had never existed. He vanished without a trace, leaving me alone to endure this empty, desolate marriage.
Today, I finally received his message:
"I'm back. Come pick me up at the airport."
When I read his words, my heart leapt with joy, and I raced to the airport, thinking that he finally understood my love and was coming back to me. But his cruelty was far worse than I could have ever imagined—he was accompanied by a pregnant woman, and that woman was Carla, my closest and most trusted friend.
In that moment, all of my previous excitement, all my hope, and all of our shared laughter and tears turned into the sharpest of daggers, stabbing into my heart and leaving me gasping for air.
Now, all I want is to escape from this place that has left me so broken—to lick my wounds in solitude. Even if these wounds will remain with me for the rest of my life, I refuse to have anything to do with him ever again.
He should know that it was his own hand that trampled our love underfoot, that his coldness and betrayal created this irreparable situation. But when he heard those words, he desperately clung to this broken, crumbling marriage, unwilling to let it end—almost as though doing so could rewind time and return everything to how it used to be.
"Aurora, come back. I regret everything!"
Regret? Those simple words stirred no emotion in me—only endless sadness and fury. My heart let out a frantic, desperate scream: It's too late for any of this!

Billionaire's Regret, Too Late!

Isobel knew that Alberto would never agree to this which was why she made the first move to approach Hannah first.


Fortunately, Hannah would not blame her, even if she would be a little upset, she knew that in the end, Hannah would definitely comply with her.


Because Hannah felt guilty and sad about the way Isobel had lived since she was born.


She felt she owed Isobel a lot for being absent in her life for so long and so Isobel was always using that against her.


On the surface, Alberto was the head of the family, but in reality, he listens to Hannah in almost everything.


In a small voice, she begged, "Mom, so many people are watching, just say yes, not to mention, she’ll be just your goddaughter, there's nothing to lose, mom, this is my birthday wish, as long as you fulfill my wish, I'll be very happy. You know that I’ve been so sad for the most part of my life." Looking at Isobel’s pitiful appearance, Hannah felt bad.
