After The Divorce, He Regretted Everything Chapter 1 The Day He Asked For A Divorce

I stood in the living room of our villa, holding a warm cup of soup in my hands.

The clock on the wall showed seven in the evening.

This was the time Adrian usually came home.

The soup was his favorite. I had learned to cook it during our first year of marriage.

Back then, he once said it tasted good. Just once. That single sentence stayed with me for three years.

The front door opened.

My heart jumped.

I turned around quickly, a small smile forming on my lips. "You are back."

Adrian Blake walked in with a cold face. He was tall and handsome, wearing a black suit that looked expensive even without trying.

His tie was neat. His hair was perfect, he did not look at the soup in my hands, he did not look at me either.

He loosened his tie and walked straight to the sofa. "We need to talk."

Those four words made my fingers tighten around the bowl.

I nodded. "Let me put the soup down first.

You must be tired, you did not eat lunch again, right?"

He finally looked at me, his eyes were calm, too calm.

"No need." He said

He took a brown envelope from his briefcase and placed it on the table.

The sound it made was soft, but it felt loud in my ears.

I looked at the envelope. My heart started to beat fast.

"What is that" I asked quietly.

He leaned back on the sofa, his posture relaxed. "Divorce papers." He said

The word divorce hit me so hard.

For a moment, I could not breathe. I stood there, frozen, the soup slowly cooling in my hands.

I had imagined many things in this marriage,i imagined him coming home earlier, I imagined him smiling at me, I imagined us having a child one day but I never imagined this.

"Why" I asked.

My voice sounded strange, like it did not belong to me.

Adrian crossed his legs. "This marriage has no meaning anymore."

I laughed softly, without humor.

"Did it ever have meaning to you" I said

He frowned slightly. "Do not make this difficult."

Those words hurt more than I expected.

For three years, I had tried my best to be a good wife.

I woke up early every day to prepare breakfast even though he never ate at home.

I waited for him late at night even though he rarely came back before midnight.

I endured his silence, his distance, his cold eyes.

I told myself he was just busy, I told myself love could grow with time but now he was telling me our marriage had no meaning.

I walked slowly to the table and put the soup down.

My hands were shaking.

"Is it because of her" I asked.

His eyes darkened for a second, that was enough.

I smiled bitterly.

So it was true, everyone in the city knew Adrian Blake had a white moonlight in his heart.

Her name was Sophia, she was his first love, the woman he could never forget.

She had returned three months ago. After that, Adrian started coming home even less.

"She is sick," he said suddenly.

"She needs rest. I cannot let her be disturbed by rumors."

I looked at him in disbelief.

"So you divorce me to protect her reputation" I asked.

"This is the best solution," he replied calmly. "You will get compensation."

He pushed an envelope toward me.

"There is a house and money. It is enough for you to live well."

I stared at the envelope. So this was what our three year marriage was worth.

I sat down slowly on the chair opposite him.

"Adrian," I said, trying to keep my voice steady.

"Do you remember why we got married" He did not answer.

I continued, even though my chest felt tight. "Your grandmother liked me.

She said I was gentle and suitable to be a Blake wife, you needed a wife, I needed a place to stay. It was a deal."

"Yes," he said. "That is why we should end it now."

I nodded slowly.

Yes, It was a deal, so why did my heart hurt like this I picked up the divorce papers and flipped through them.

Every word was clear and clean He had prepared everything.

He must have thought about this for a long time.

"When do you want it done" I asked.

"Tomorrow." He said

''Tomorrow? So fast'' l asked then smiled faintly

"Alright." That single word made him look at me.

He studied my face, as if he was surprised. "You agree?" He asked

"Yes," I said. "I agree."

For a moment, there was silence between us.

Maybe he expected me to cry, beg or ask him to reconsider but I did none of that.

"I will sign it," I continued. "But I have one condition."

His eyes narrowed slightly. "What condition"

"After the divorce," I said softly, "we will have nothing to do with each other. If we meet again in the future, we will be strangers."

He stared at me for a long time.

Then he nodded. "Fine."

I picked up the pen on the table.

As I signed my name, memories flashed through my mind.

The day we got married, the empty wedding room, the nights I waited alone, the mornings I woke up to silence.

When I finished signing, my hand felt numb.

I pushed the papers back to him. "Done."

He took them and stood up.

"I will have my assistant contact you tomorrow," he said.

He walked toward the door, just before leaving, he stopped. "You can stay in the villa for tonight."

Then he left. The door closed softly behind him.

The sound echoed in the quiet house.

I sat there for a long time.

The soup on the table had gone cold. I looked at it and suddenly laughed.

Tears fell into the bowl, I covered my mouth, afraid of making a sound.

I had loved Adrian Blake, even though he never loved me back.

That night, I packed my things.

I did not take much, just clothes, documents, and a small box from the bottom of the drawer.

Inside the box was a certificate, a medical license.

I touched it gently.

Three years ago, I gave up my career for this marriage.

Three years later, I was leaving with nothing.

Tears gently rolled down from my eyes I looked around the villa one last time. "This is goodbye," I whispered.

The next morning, the divorce was finalized.

By afternoon, I was gone.

Adrian did not know, he did not know that the woman he divorced that day was no longer the same woman he once ignored.

And he definitely did not know that one day, he would regret signing those papers more than anything else in his life but that was a story for later.

For now, I walked out of the civil office alone, holding the divorce certificate in my hand.

The sun was bright.

I lifted my head and smiled.

Behind me, a black car stopped slowly.

Adrian stepped out.

When he looked up and saw me smiling, something strange stirred in his chest.

For the first time, he felt it.

A feeling he did not understand, and he did not know yet that this was the moment his regret began.

The heavy thud of the release stamp was the only goodbye I got from the warden after five years in federal prison. I stepped out into the blinding sun, expecting the same flash of paparazzi bulbs that had seen me dragged away in handcuffs, but there was only a single black limousine idling on the shoulder of the road. Inside sat my mother and sister, clutching champagne and looking at my frayed coat with pure disgust. They didn't offer a welcome home; instead, they tossed a thick legal document onto the table and told me I was dead to the city. "Gavin and I are getting engaged," my sister Mia sneered, flicking a credit card at me like I was a stray dog. "He doesn't need a convict ex-fiancée hanging around." Even after I saved their lives from an armed kidnapping attempt by ramming the attackers off the road, they rewarded me by leaving me stranded in the dirt. When I finally ran into Gavin, the man who had framed me, he pinned me against a wall and threatened to send me back to a cell if I ever dared to show my face at their wedding. They had stolen my biotech research, ruined my name, and let me rot for half a decade while they lived off my brilliance. They thought they had broken me, leaving me with nothing but an expired chapstick and a few old photos in a plastic bag. What they didn't know was that I had spent those five years becoming "Dr. X," a shadow consultant with five hundred million dollars in crypto and a secret that would bring the city to its knees. I wasn't just a victim anymore; I was a weapon, and I was pregnant with the heir they thought they had erased. I walked into the Melton estate and made an offer to the most powerful man in New York. "I'll save your grandfather's life," I told Horatio Melton, staring him down. "But the price is your last name. I'm taking back what's mine, and I'm starting with the man who thinks he's marrying my sister."

For two years, I was the invisible force behind tech billionaire Kieran Douglas, convinced that our "private" romance was his way of protecting us from the tabloid spotlight. I managed his mergers, warmed his bed, and waited for a future that didn't exist. The illusion shattered at 6:00 AM when a Page Six alert debuted Kieran’s "real" romance with socialite Aspen Schneider. Before I could even process the betrayal, Kieran sent me a cold, professional text: "Order flowers for Aspen. Pink peonies. Her favorite." When I tried to walk away, my own mother called me a disgrace and threatened to lock my inheritance forever unless I married a sixty-year-old businessman to save her failing estate. At a high-society gala that same night, Aspen intentionally crushed my burned hand in front of the cameras, while Kieran stood by and dismissed me as a "mediocre assistant" who had overstayed her welcome. I stood in the cold New York rain, drenched in champagne and humiliation, realizing that every sacrifice I made for Kieran was a joke. I was a ghost in a penthouse that was never mine, discarded the moment his "soulmate" returned. To the world, I was just a placeholder whose time had run out. But Kieran forgot one thing: my father’s multi-million dollar trust fund unlocks the moment I legally marry. I didn't need love; I needed a signature and a shield. I walked into a discreet law firm and signed a marriage contract with a man I believed was the city’s most notorious, scandal-ridden playboy. I thought I was marrying a degenerate "beard" to buy my freedom and secure my revenge. I didn't realize the man who signed that paper wasn't a playboy at all, but Gaston Collins—the most powerful and dangerous man on Wall Street—and he had no intention of letting our fake marriage stay fake.

I arrived at the hotel with Julian's favorite takeout, ready to surprise my fiancé before our big merger. But the moment I swiped the keycard, the silence of the hallway felt heavy and wrong. Inside, a red-soled stiletto lay on the marble floor-the same one I'd watched my best friend Lila try on at Saks last week. Through the cracked bedroom door, I watched Julian's back arch as Lila looked me straight in the eye and smiled, wrapping her legs tighter around him to mock my heartbreak. I fled to the penthouse to hide, only to find Grafton, Julian's "crippled" brother, waiting in the dark. To my horror, the man who was supposed to be paralyzed stood up from his wheelchair, gripped my chin with cold fingers, and forced me to sign a contract that gave him control of my family's shares. He knew about my mother's secret medical bills and used them to buy my silence, effectively turning my life into a calculated game of corporate chess. The betrayal tasted like acid, and the injustice of it all burned in my throat. My fiancé was a liar, my best friend was a thief, and the man now controlling my fate was a predator who had been faking his disability for years. I couldn't understand how everyone I trusted had turned out to be a monster. I was trapped between a man who cheated on me and a man who wanted to own me, with no way out and no one to turn to. But when Julian came looking for me, Grafton didn't hide; he stood tall, looming over me with a possessive glint in his eyes. "Help me destroy Julian," I rasped, realizing that to survive the Faulkner men, I had to become the most dangerous player of them all.
