Roxanne believed her love could transform Lucian, her selfish and abusive husband.
However, despite her efforts to salvage their relationship, he continued mistreating her and being unfaithful.
Frustrated with his indifference and infidelity, Roxanne made the decision to end their marriage. She orchestrated a passionate encounter before serving him divorce papers the following day.
Six years later, Roxanne has flourished as a successful doctor and is now raising twin boys. Meanwhile, Lucian is filled with both anger over her sudden departure and remorse for his actions towards Roxanne.
The story unfolds below as we explore the progression of their relationship.
Roxanne set the table for the kids before she went to answer the door. As expected, Lucian was waiting outside. Roxanne opened the door, and he gave her a curt nod. “Where is Essie? I’m here to bring her home.” He looked in the direction of the living room. When the children realized Lucian was…
Lucian never looked away from her, so he naturally noticed the change in her expression, which increased his fury. “What do you think, Ms. Jarvis? Essie was diagnosed with autism at a young age, so I believe you’ve seen her when she was sick. What do you think someone like her would be like?” Roxanne…
“No longer related?” The sarcasm in Lucian’s eyes intensified. “This is all wishful thinking on your part.” Roxanne’s frown deepened. I’m stating the facts! Why is that wishful thinking? It was Lucian who used me all the while, and now he’s with Aubree. How are we related to each other now? As though reading her…
Roxanne opened her mouth wordlessly. She felt sorry for Estella and looked up at Lucian, signaling for him to comfort Estella. The moment she did so, she spotted the blazing fury in his eyes. When their eyes met, Roxanne felt her heart skip a beat. “That’s it. Essie, come. Let’s go home.” Lucian looked away…
The sound of the door downstairs being opened and closed was heard. Roxanne froze where she stood as she glanced at her empty hands. Lucian is gone just like that… She rushed out to the balcony and looked down and managed to catch a glimpse of Lucian carrying Estella to the car before their car…
Upon hearing her father’s words, Estella pursed her lips tightly as she desperately held back her tears. I can’t cry! If Daddy and Ms. Jarvis have fallen out with each other, I will definitely not be able to see her anymore. It’s up to me alone to help them reconcile. In that instant, Estella remembered…
The more she thought about it, the angrier she was. Taking in Estella’s expression, Lucian was all the more confused. It seems Essie harbors a deep grudge against Mom. Having finally decided on what to say, Estella said in a piping voice, “Because… Grandma is very fierce!” She couldn’t have sounded any more pitiful. The…
Lucian sized her up silently for a long while. Upon learning that she had sought a psychologist over the incident, Lucian looked a lot less hostile. His tone, too, softened when he said, “That’s very thoughtful of you.” Detecting the change in his voice, Aubree felt her heart go wild in ecstasy. “It was my…
Immediately, her eyes lit up. She darted past Aubree and sought refuge in Lucian, wrapping her small arms around his thigh. Lucian looked down at the child clinging to him and thought of Aubree’s apologetic words earlier. “It won’t take just one night for Essie to forgive you, so there’s no need for you to…
Yet, regardless of what they did, the girl remained the same. In the end, Aubree’s attitude toward Estella became worse and worse. It’s all that girl’s fault! Gina did not know how to answer Aubree’s question. “I… Essie treats me almost the same as she does with you. You were brought up by your nanny.…
