# Chapter 1: When the Stars Forgot to Return My Wishes
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 1 of "REMARRIED AFTER I SECRETLY DIVORCED THE CEO" – a story that cuts deep into the heart of betrayal, resilience, and the quiet fury of a woman who decides she’s had enough.
---
The hospital room was sterile and cold, smelling of antiseptic and forgotten hopes. The doctor’s voice came through like a distant echo: “Ms. Lewis, your follow-up results are in. It’s stage 2 stomach cancer. Are you sure you don’t want to inform your family?”
“No need.”
Autumn Lewis slipped the report into her bag, her face a little pale as she stepped out into the hot autumn wind. The world outside seemed indifferent to her crumbling universe. She was twenty-seven, married for three years to Julian Carter – the man she had loved since she was five years old. And now? He had an affair. She got cancer. What a lousy script life had handed her.
But Autumn was afraid of dying – especially from a disease born of bitterness, festering because of a man who couldn’t keep his promises. Yet as the wind tangled her hair, a strange clarity settled over her. If she couldn’t hold the sand, then let it scatter. She had decided. She would let it all go.
After making every necessary arrangement in her mind, Autumn drove to the office. She walked through the familiar halls, a stack of documents clutched in her hands. Her steps were steady, but her heart was a stone sinking deeper with each second. She knocked on the door of the 17th-floor office.
“Come in.”
She pushed the door open. Julian Carter looked up, his handsome face sharp and composed. Years in the business world had carved him into a man of authority – steady, commanding, and utterly detached from the woman who stood before him. She handed over the papers, her voice gentle.
“This is from the check-up last week. The hospital sent it over. It needs your signature.”
She placed the report in front of him, clicked open the pen, and placed it in his hand. Julian rubbed his forehead tiredly, didn’t even glance at the document, and signed.
“Don’t bother me with trivial things like this in the future.”
“Alright.”
Autumn complied and tucked the papers away. But as she turned, her eyes caught a sliver of white fabric peeking out from under the massive office desk. She recognized that skirt – it belonged to her stepsister, Luna Lewis.
Autumn lowered her gaze, masking the mockery flickering in her eyes. She strode away. A few seconds later, a faint click echoed behind her as the door was locked.
*They were that eager, huh.*
Her heart plummeted like a stone into a deep, cold lake, swallowed whole by its weight. The air turned thick, suffocating. She looked down at the remaining two sheets in her stack – pages Julian had never bothered to read. If he had just glanced a little closer, he would have seen not only her follow-up diagnosis of stage 2 stomach cancer, but also the final page: a divorce agreement.
Autumn thought back to the day she met Julian when she was five. That same year, her father had an affair, her mother filed for divorce. Her two older brothers went with their father, and she was given to her mother. Then the mistress moved in, bringing her illegitimate daughter, Luna. Autumn and her mother moved to a new neighborhood – next door to Julian.
They grew up together. He once broke three ribs fighting for her. Whenever she had a fever, he’d worry himself sick. His social media was filled with nothing but pictures of her. He had promised to love her for a lifetime.
And yet, he was the first to break that vow.
Now, standing in a hallway that held ghosts of their past, Autumn clutched the divorce papers – the only thing she had left to grant herself freedom.

**Reader’s Impressions & Star Rating:**
This chapter hit me like a freight train of raw emotion. The contrast between Julian’s careless signature and Autumn’s quiet devastation is masterfully drawn. You can feel her pain, her resignation, and her fragile resolve. The metaphor of sand slipping through fingers is both heartbreaking and empowering. I’m gripping the edge of my seat, wanting to see how she navigates this mess. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.9 / 5 Stars
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
Autumn will likely serve the divorce papers in a dramatic way – perhaps when Julian least expects it, shocking him out of his complacency. Luna, the stepsister, might try to sabotage the process, but Autumn’s cancer diagnosis will add an urgent, ticking-clock tension to her escape.
