Love After Divorce: His Belated Affection
Modern Lucian was always disgusted by Giselle. Nothing she ever did was good in his eyes. Even though she did everything to win his love, he never acknowledged her efforts for three years.
Giselle saw hell. When she finally decided to leave him, she felt like she had been given a new lease on life.
She decided to stay away from men and focus on her career. Lucian thought she was going to suffer and come back running to him.
But to his greatest surprise, she appeared as the CEO of the company that rivaled his.
Who the hell had he been married to? Lucian was beyond shocked when he found out that Giselle had several secret identities.
All in one, she was a respected lawyer, an ace hacker, and a leading designer!
More than anything, Lucian felt cheated. He cornered her one day and yelled, "Who the fuck are you, Giselle? How much have you been hiding from me?"
"And who are you to ask me such a question? I don't know you, remember?" Giselle yelled back and brushed past him.
Giselle thought he would bury his head in shame after she talked back. Little did she know she was in for a big surprise. Somehow, Lucian fell head over heels in love with her. He used many tricks just to win her back.
"Let's get remarried, Giselle. I love you," he said passionately.
With her hands on her waist, she replied, "Oh, honey. I'm sorry that's impossible."
"But you are the only one for me. I can't live without you. I'm sorry for my past actions."
Giselle had a good laugh and then looked at him. Clenching her teeth, she enunciated each word, "It's too late now to say sorry."
