My Ex Became a Gangster and Regrets It

My husband, Lucas Gabriel, and I were on our way to sell paintings when we got robbed.

I used all my strength to fight off the robbers. I wanted to keep Lucas’s hands safe so that he could keep painting.

However, he failed to escape. He threw his paintings on the ground and yelled at me, “This is all your fault, Aria!

“If I had married Chloe instead of you, I would be the leader of the Lenza Group in Ros Aegeles by now! I wouldn’t be some poor, helpless painter!”

Right before the robbers killed me, I finally realized that he never got over his childhood sweetheart, Chloe Lionel.

That was why he never wanted to have children with me while we were married.

When I opened my eyes again, we had both returned to a time before our marriage.

This time, we went our separate ways.

I cut ties with him and left Ros Angeles to focus on medical research.

Seven years later, I returned.

Lucas was already the boss of Cosa. He had Chloe in his arms and mocked me. “I know you’ve loved me in both lives, but did you really have to stay single for me?”

I ignored him and held my son’s hand.

He lost it. His eyes turned red with anger as he demanded, “Whose child is that?! Didn’t you say you would only have my children?!”

Lucas was at a grand villa that belonged to the Lenza Group’s boss. He stood at the center of the crowd with Chloe in his arms. Her flawless makeup and beautiful dress highlighted her beauty while Lucas enjoyed the admiration of his subordinates and fellow branch leaders.

“Lucas is amazing! He became Cosa’s boss in just a few years! This year, he was even invited to Mr. Lenza’s private party!”

“That’s right! Under his leadership, Cosa has become the most promising Eastern branch! Even Mr. Lenza thinks highly of him! The bosses of the Western branches are all eager to get close to him!”

“Lucas, our branch also does business in the East. We’d love to work with you!”

Lucas smiled proudly and pulled Chloe closer as she gently leaned against his shoulder.

One of the branch leaders curiously asked, “Lucas, when are you and Chloe getting married?”

Lucas looked at the shy Chloe with a gentle gaze and said, “Next month, on the 20th. It’ll also be Chloe’s birthday. We’re here today to personally invite Mr. Lenza to our wedding.

“I want to introduce Chloe to him and let everyone in the Lenza Group know she’ll be my wife.”

His romantic words sparked cheers and applause from his subordinates.

No one noticed me when I returned to the villa.

One of the branch leaders was unimpressed, and
