LOVED BY MY EX HUSBAND

It was a happy night. Flickering stars adorned the night sky. Invited guests filled the poolside engagement party venue of a five-star hotel. After the private proposal Jake gave three months ago, finally tonight Jake would announce the engagement party publicly. There were many guests from the upper class, especially colleagues and business partners of the Awan Company.

Caroline's face looked radiant. Her eyes emitted a huge twinkle of happiness. Caroline had loved Jake all her life. She gave everything she had, thinking she would receive as much as she gave. The sleeveless red dress wrapped around her body made her look so sexy. Her chest and ass had perfect curves, and the fat gathered where it should be.

Caroline stared at Jake with a sweet smile gracing her lips. She couldn't tear her gaze away from the 25-year-old man who had spoken in front of her. Jake looked very authoritative in his black suit.

"On this blessed night, I would like to introduce a woman who has stolen my heart. A woman who has accompanied me all these years. A woman with whom I decided to have a new family. I feel so blessed to be the man she loves. We have a simple dream: to have two children and watch them grow up together." Jake said without turning to Caroline at all,

Caroline felt so nervous; her heart was beating erratically. Her chest was pounding, and her legs were trembling slightly. In all her life, she had never felt this nervous. She was finally going to marry the man she loved, recognized, and wanted to live with forever. She felt like the luckiest woman in the world.

"Emily, once again, let me ask. Will you marry me?" Jake asked with a sweet smile on his lips. He looked at the woman in the maroon dress, standing not far from him.

Emily smiled shyly, gave a small nod, and stepped up to Jake. They looked so good together. Although not as beautiful as Caroline, Emily looked so charming and mesmerizing.

Caroline was petrified on the spot. All she knew was that Jake was going to propose to her tonight in front of everyone, but why was the other woman's name called forward? For a moment, Caroline felt her heart stop beating.

"Jake, what about me?" After trying to brace herself, Caroline was finally able to say the words. Her eyes heated up at the man in front of her.

"What's wrong with you?" Jake made a face as if he didn't understand.

"You said you were going to marry me. What are you doing now? Is this a joke? Why did you propose to another woman at our engagement party?" Caroline's voice sounded shaky, a sign that the pain she was receiving was so great. Her eyes glazed over at the man in front of her.

"Are you kidding me? How could I possibly marry a woman from a poor family? You think I don't know that your family went bankrupt last month. There's only a pile of debt left. I don't want to spend my life helping pay off your parents' debts."

"You can't dump me just because my parents are broke."

"Of course I can. There are many women who want to marry me. Look at you; you came here even in your cheap clothes!" Jake pointed arrogantly.

Caroline laughed slightly. She did not expect that Jake would be that cruel to her. All this time, Jake has treated her with great tenderness. She knew Jake as a gentle and responsible man. Who would have thought that she would be abandoned so easily just because her family is now poor?

"Ah yes, give me back the ring I gave you." Jake stepped closer, and he grabbed the diamond ring on Caroline's ring finger. "I've repeatedly asked you to return this ring, but you never wanted to. You want to keep it because you know it's an expensive ring, right? It's a family heirloom ring worth $10 million. It's a good thing it wasn't lost in your hands. You wouldn't have been able to redeem it even with your life." Jake said it harshly, then moved towards Emily.
