His Sweetheart, My Exit

Synopsis

The sensual, intimate sounds from the bedroom finally died down. I stood outside the door, waiting for whatever command might come next. Charles Hughes pushed the door open, the woman in his arms still trying to catch her breath. I just watched quietly, my gaze lowered, pushing down the storm inside me. I had once been a noble lady of the Empire of Avia, but after traveling through time, I became the wife of the CEO of Hughes Corporation. After ten years of shared life and companionship, I had slowly fallen head over heels for Charles. I thought we'd be together forever. But everything changed the moment his sweetheart, Emily Blue, returned to the country. For her, Charles threw caution to the wind and after repeatedly trying and failing to hold onto him, I finally realized that some things just weren't meant to be. Later, when he flaunted his affection for her in front of the entire world, I offered my blessings. He humiliated me repeatedly for Emily, yet I never uttered a word of complaint. He thought I had come to terms with the situation—that I was willing to be the stepping stone of their romance. He had no idea that I had been preparing to walk away from him for good.
