"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!

Julio said with dissatisfaction, "Uncle, stop having conspiracy theories about everyone in this world, how many people know my real identity?"


Julio’s identity was special, with a bloodline shared between the Dumont and Delucca families, and also the third generation's eldest grandchild of both families.


But with this kind of status, it was natural to be watched by many people.


And of course to exercise and cultivate him.


Magda had sent him abroad since he was a child, and he lived as an ordinary person.


He only came back for a few days a year during festivals or on the birthdays of his elders.


And his visits never appeared on the media.


All but a few people in his circle knew his name and who he was.


The media was even less likely to have anything to say about him.


Inside the capital circle, not many people knew his identity, and even fewer had seen him.
