Too late for regret: Ex-husband and his son wants me back

On the other end of the line, Victor Powell's father, Albert Powell, asked, "Seri, are you sure you want to terminate the agreement and divorce Victor .

Serena Powell held her phone calmly. "I'm sure." 

"Even if Leon's custody goes to the Powell family, you're still leaving?" 

"Yes. I believe Leon would rather stay with his dad. The Powell family can give him the best education. He doesn't need me anymore." 

Albert's voice was low. "Alright. As for the divorce agreement, you can talk to Victor yourself." 

"Okay," Serena replied. 

Albert didn't hang up right away. "To be honest, I've been satisfied with how Victor's been these past few years with you around. 

"So, as a reward, I'll arrange for you to join the design team in Glonia you've always wanted. In a week at most, you'll be out of the Powell family." 

Serena thought, 'A reward? Rich people really do live in a different universe. In their world, even feelings come with a price tag! 

She agreed. After she hung up, her phone screen was still frozen on a recent Instagram post from her husband, Victor. 

Victor had never posted anything before. Not even their wedding. He'd said it was private, no outsiders needed to know. But for a month now, he'd been posting every day.

In the newest video, their son Leon Powell was playing happily with another kid around his age. The ironic part was, everyone in the comments thought Serena was the one who filmed it. 

Someone commented: [Your wife's really good with the camera. Your son looks so happy.]

Victor's reply stood out like a slap: [Yeah.]

Serena thought, 'Yeah? Is he praising Eliza Stone, his childhood sweetheart, for her camera work, or is he just letting people assume she's his wife now?'

Serena grew up in an orphanage. Seven years ago, when she was still in college, Albert suddenly approached her and offered her three million dollars- to buy seven years of her life.

To pay for surgery for the orphanage director who had been kind to her, Serena reluctantly agreed.

Back then, she had already heard the story of Victor and Eliza. Both of them came from powerful families, grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and were deeply in love. But the year they graduated college, Eliza vanished. When Victor found out she'd gone abroad for an arranged marriage, he lost it. Started drinking, smoking, pushing himself to the edge.

The psychiatrist said only emotional healing could cure a wounded heart. So Albert found Serena- a girl who looked strikingly similar to Eliza- and had her care for Victor.

From then on, Serena began to get close to Victor on purpose, relentlessly pursuing him. And with a face that looked just enough like Eliza's, she made sure to stay in Victor's sight every single day.

When he was down, she would cheer him up. When he got sick, she stayed up all night to look after him. And when his depression hit, she
