The morning sun streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the CEO's office, casting long shadows across the polished marble floor. Yet inside, the atmosphere was anything but warm. Helena stood with her back straight, her hands clenched at her sides, facing the man who had once been her husband—and who now stared at her with eyes as cold as winter ice.
"Why did you come back?" Lucas's voice was flat, devoid of the warmth that had once colored every word he spoke to her. He didn't even look up from the documents on his desk.
Helena's heart ached. She had hoped—foolishly, perhaps—that after all these months, he might have softened. That the divorce papers she had signed in secret, the annulment she had pushed through without his knowledge, might have been forgiven. But his demeanor said otherwise. He was a fortress, and she was an intruder.
"I came to talk about the merger," she said quietly, her voice steady despite the storm inside. "The board is concerned about your sudden shift in loyalty. They think you're planning to sell the company to your father's old rival."
Lucas finally raised his head. His gaze was piercing, unreadable. "You think you know what I'm planning? You, who walked away without a word? Who erased our marriage as if it never existed?"
The accusation hung in the air like a blade. Helena swallowed hard. She had expected this—resentment, anger, mistrust. But the raw hurt in his voice caught her off guard.
"It wasn't like that," she whispered. "I had my reasons."
"Reasons." He laughed bitterly, standing up and walking around the desk to tower over her. "You had reasons to divorce me in secret. To leave me a letter and vanish. To make me believe you never loved me at all."
Helena's eyes stung with unshed tears. She wanted to tell him everything—about her father's medical bills, the blackmail threats, the impossible choice she had been forced to make. But the words stuck in her throat. How could she explain that she had divorced him to save him? That his own family had threatened to destroy his company if she didn't disappear?
Instead, she said, "Lucas, there are things you don't know. Things I can't tell you. Not yet."
"Then don't waste my time." He turned his back on her, a clear dismissal. "If you're here for the merger, fine. Stay out of my way. But don't pretend we have anything else between us."
Helena felt the world tilt. She had come to warn him—to tell him that his father's hidden debts were about to surface, that the rival company was planning a hostile takeover. But he wouldn't listen. He was too blinded by pain to see the truth.
As she turned to leave, her gaze fell on a photograph on his desk. It was an old picture of them, laughing together at a charity gala, their faces bright with happiness. A sob caught in her throat. She had loved him so fiercely. She still loved him. But love, she had learned, was not always enough.
Outside the office, she leaned against the wall, struggling to breathe. Her phone buzzed. A message from an unknown number: *"He knows about the child. Be careful."*
Helena's blood ran cold. There was only one secret she had guarded more fiercely than her divorce—the pregnancy she had hidden, the baby she had given up for adoption to protect Lucas from scandal. Who could possibly know?
She hurried down the hallway, her heels clicking a frantic rhythm. The chapter ended with her racing through the parking lot, desperate to uncover the person who was threatening to expose her deepest shame—and wondering if Lucas could ever forgive her if he found out.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
Wow, what a heart-wrenching chapter! I felt every ounce of Helena's pain and frustration as she tried to protect Lucas from a truth he wasn't ready to hear. Lucas's coldness broke my heart, but I also understand his anger—he was left in the dark with no explanation. The cliffhanger about the child is absolutely shocking! The pacing was perfect, with just enough tension to keep me on edge. I'm so invested in their story now. I give this chapter **⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.7 / 5 Stars**.
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
I predict that in Chapter 109, Helena will discover that the mysterious blackmailer is someone inside Lucas's own family—perhaps his mother, who never approved of their marriage. Lucas will confront Helena with the truth about the baby, and their confrontation will finally force them to talk openly. Meanwhile, the merger deal will take a dangerous turn, and Helena will have to choose between staying to fight for Lucas or running away again.
And now, my dearest listeners, if you want to continue this gripping tale of love, secrets, and second chances, I have to tell you something very important:
