Dangerous Obsession

2

Ava looked at him. "Say something."

William responded, "Let's eat first."

He gently pushed her away and walked to the dining table, placing the breakfast on it.

Ava's heart sank deeper into despair as she stared at his back, pain evident in her eyes.

She had stopped him from saying the word "divorce," but his attitude was clear. He was distancing himself from her, not even offering a false promise.

He never used to be like this!

In the beginning, he just followed her everywhere, clinging to her. Later, when she decided to take him in, take care of him, she taught him everything. His gaze on her became more focused.

No matter what she did, his eyes were always on her, as if she were his whole world.

"William, you didn't give me my good morning kiss."

Ava walked over and said, reminding him of the promise they made after they got together.

William pushed the milk toward her. "Let's eat first. I have something to tell you later."

Ava clenched her fists. "If I don't eat, will you not say it?"

William's blue eyes fixed on her. "You heard everything."

He was referring to what he said in the private room yesterday.

Ava closed her eyes and asked, "Why?"

No matter how much she tried to hold back, everything was out in the open now. She couldn't deceive herself anymore.

William replied, "She's important. I have to take responsibility for her."

"What about me?" Ava looked at him with a bitter smile. "What does our time together mean?"

As if she realized something, she walked up to him. "You got your memory back, didn't you? You remember who you are, right?"

"Yes." William nodded. "Ava, I'm very grateful for the time you spent with me. I'll repay you. Whatever you want, just ask, and I'll make sure you get it."

"I don't want a divorce," Ava said, looking at him, enunciating each word.

William's expression grew cold and distant, his handsome features losing their warmth. "We must divorce."

At that moment, an unapproachable, icy aura surrounded him—something Ava had never seen before.

Her nails dug into her palms as she met his gaze. "I won't divorce you!"

Compensation? How could he compensate for the time's worth of love and effort?

William's brow furrowed with apparent impatience. "Ava, if we continue like this, neither of us will be happy."

Ava heart-broken sat down and began eating breakfast without saying another word. She was determined not to divorce him.

William watched her with a complex expression.

He stood up and said coldly, "I'll have someone send over the divorce papers later. You can name your terms."

Then he left immediately.

"Bang!"

Ava kicked over a nearby chair, her eyes brimming with tears as she bit her lip in anger.

Asshole! He was such an asshole!

Ava struggled to control her emotions, taking several deep breaths, her resolve hardening.

Sure enough, the divorce papers arrived soon after. She had just finished breakfast and was heading to work when a man in a suit showed up at her door, handing over the documents. Ava didn't even look at them. She took the papers and tore them to pieces.

"Divorce is out of the question!"

Without paying attention to the man's reaction, she went straight to work.

When Ava arrived at the office and sat down, a colleague immediately came over and said, "Ava, have you heard? Our company has been acquired! The person who bought it is William Wright, Frederick Wright's second son, who mysteriously went missing."

Ava froze. "What's his name?"

Ava thought. "Why this man has the same name as her beloved Will?".

"William Wright. I saw his photo, and he's really handsome! They say he disappeared for one and half year and just recently returned to the Wright family. As soon as he got back, he started making big changes to the subsidiary companies here. Our company was directly acquired. Oh my, having such a handsome man as a boss-I'd be smiling even in my dreams!"

Ava pulled out her phone and saw the first notification: news about William, a member of the Wright family who had been missing, returning.

In the photo, the man wore a black suit, his short dark blonde hair neatly parted, his features sharp and handsome, with piercing blue eyes that carried a cold glint. His entire demeanor exuded noble aloofness. William belonged to the Wright family, Chester City's most prominent elite family!

Ava couldn't even describe her feelings at that moment. It felt incredibly ironic.

She should have been happy-her husband was a wealthy elite, and the big house she dreamed of was within reach.

However, she couldn't feel any joy because her wealthy elite husband wanted to divorce her.

He was going to leave for another woman.

Ava clenched her phone, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Meeting! Meeting in the main conference room!" the manager called out loudly. Everyone grabbed their things and headed to the large conference room.

The massive room, capable of holding five hundred people, was noisy at first. However, as someone clapped their hands, the room gradually quieted down. "Now, let's welcome our new president, Mr. William Wright!"
