lover–but I wasn’t ready for a new relationship.
Not yet.
That night, Marilyn and I drank ourselves into a stupor.
When I woke up, Lucian was in the kitchen, wearing an apron and making breakfast.
He smiled warmly at me as I walked in. “You two were just as wild and drunk as when you were kids,” he said, his eyes crinkling.

“I made waffles. Your favorite.”
After breakfast, I sank into the couch, full and content. Lucian handed me a small bag.
“Your welcome gift.”
Inside was a dark gray, casual yet professional outfit, obviously made of fine fabric.
I was about to thank him when my mother’s call interrupted me.
“Wynter, don’t come back just yet. Jason’s waiting at the door.”
I could hear the panic in my mother’s voice. My parents were getting older, and if Jason went wild, he could hurt them.

I waved goodbye to Marilyn, still half–asleep, and was about to leave when Lucian grabbed the car keys and followed me outside.
“I’ll drive you. At least with me there, you’ll have someone to help.‘
I didn’t object. The worry in my mother’s voice had me concerned.
When we arrived at the neighborhood, I saw Jason and Zara waiting near the entrance. Jason’s face lit up when he saw me.
But Zara stepped in front of me, sizing up Lucian.
“Wynter, do you know Jason waited downstairs for you all night? You didn’t come home, and now you show up with some other
guy with you! How low can you go?”
I let out a scoff, pulling the corner of my lips into a slight sneer. “Same goes to you.”
Seeing that I ignored her insult, she directed her anger at Jason. “Jason, look at her!”
Meanwhile, Jason’s bloodshot eyes were fixed on Lucian.
“You again! You’ve been circling Wynter like a fly for years. Now that she’s about to divorce me, you’re happy, aren’t you? Can’t
wait to take over, huh? How pathetic for a VP of a listed company to be after someone else’s wife! You’re shameless! I’ll expose
you and ruin your reputation!”
I slapped him hard across the face.
Jason stared at me in shock, his eyes wide with disbelief and pain.
“You actually hit me for someone else?”
I massaged my sore palm and sneered. “A renowned heart surgeon should be saving lives, not sleeping with their patients. Jason, you’re an animal. What right do you have to judge anyone?”
Hearing the truth come from my own lips, Jason swayed, his face filled with profound sadness.
“Honey, I was wrong. You’re the only one I love. The others, they’re just at hotels. You’re my home! Please, give me another chance. I’ll make it up to you. I don’t want anything else, just you.”

He reached out for me, but I pushed him away.
“Don’t touch me. You’re filthy.”
His expression shattered, full of regret. “I’m begging you, okay? Please, just-‘
As he prepared to grovel, Zara stepped in between us, holding him back.
“Jason, what do you think you’re doing? You’re just letting her manipulate you!”
Jason looked at her, his face contorted in fury. Without warning, he raised his hand and slapped her
“It’s all your fault! You seduced me! You ruined my family! I was only trying to treat and care for you, and this is how you repay
me?”
Zara fell to the ground, stunned, her face twisted in disbelief and humiliation.
