Ditch Him and Start Again

My husband chooses to stay in a honeymoon suite with his secretary during a company teambuilding event.

"I'm in poor health, so I need Mr. Lowe by my side to care for me when I'm taking a dip in the hot springs. I'm sure Elaine won't be mad because she's so generous, right?"

My husband wraps an arm around her waist, sounding displeased as he says, "Ignore her. I'd have wasted my time on her if she's so petty!"

Our colleagues chime in. "Exactly! It's best to get a divorce if your wife gets jealous so easily! Now, Ms. Klein is gentle and considerate. You're a lucky man, Mr. Lowe!"

I'm the one who recruited all of these people into the company, yet they all now despise me. Since none of them like me, there's no need for the company to exist anymore.

I text my parents. "Don't bother investing in the company anymore. I no longer want it."

Hand-in-hand with Anna Klein, Zachary Lowe approached me and snapped impatiently, "Give me the card to the honeymoon suite. I'm going to soak in the hot springs with Anna."

Anna was clutching Zachary's arm affectionately as she gave me a taunting look. Those who didn't know our situation would've assumed that she was his wife, not me.

Isaac Hudson, the head of the sales department, eyed me and said, "Anna has been under a lot of stress because of this project, and we finally managed to close the deal. She has made a huge contribution to the company, so it's only right for Mr. Lowe to treat her well."

It sounded as though he was warning me.

And yet, I was the one who went through multiple rounds of negotiations with the other party to convince them to sign the contract.

I even promised to provide numerous additional benefits through my parents' company, Stellar Group, before they agreed to it.

All Anna did was serve coffee at the meetings. How was she the one who contributed to the company?

Even Sean Campbell, the head of the technology department, stood up for Anna. "That's right. She's exhausted and needs rest, so don't disturb her, Elaine. You should prepare a nice dinner for her tonight!"

My heart grew cold when I saw the way both Isaac and Sean were now sticking up for Anna. They used to be on my side before she joined the company.

No longer in the mood to eat, I went back to my room. As soon as I got there, I received a call from Zachary.

"Anna has a
