Mr. Ceo Wants Her Back After Divorce
Episode 001
Liam had forgotten that today was their second wedding anniversary.
Emerald had meticulously fitted her slim figure in a velvet sapphire gown and styled her long blonde hair into an intricate chignon. Yet, the man she had done her best to impress barely glanced at her.
Emerald
“Liam, do you remember what today is?”
His piercing blue eyes locking with hers before they flitted away to something else.
Emerald
“No, Liam. It's our second wedding anniversary.”
A flicker of realization crossed his dashing countenance. But it fades, replaced by a vacant expression.
Liam
“I’m sorry. I've been so busy with work and stuff, it slipped my mind.”
Emerald
“I have given you numerous chances, remained loyal, stood by your side, and made efforts to be a devoted wife.”
Emerald
“But why do you need to treat me like an outsider?”
Liam
“Stop acting like an emotionally battered wife! You’re well aware that I had no love for you before we tied the knot. Mother's illness is what compelled me to marry you.”
Emerald
"Do you think I wanted this either? I am trapped in a family tradition, and marrying you was the only way to prevent my adoptive father from disowning me!"
Emerald clenched her fists.
Emerald
“All I'm asking for is to be treated as your wife, to be shown respect, and for you to remember our anniversary. Is that too much to ask?”
Liam's sharp gaze pierced her.
Liam
“I refuse to pretend that everything is fine when it's clearly not. If you're willing to pretend that our marriage is happy, that's your choice, but I will not partake in that charade.”
Emerald and Liam fought gaze.
Emerald
“So, that's why you're seeing someone else behind my back?”
Liam didn't even look surprised nor did he make an effort to deny it.
Emerald
“Are you seriously asking me that? You've been cheating on me, and you have the audacity to act like it's no big deal?”
Liam
“I had made it clear to you before we got married that I will marry you but I will never be faithful.”
Liam
“I thought you understood and accepted that.”
Emerald
"I can't believe you!"
Emerald
"I gave you everything, and yet I'm still nothing for you?"
Liam
"You were never enough for me, and you never will be, Emerald.”
Emerald
“Why? Is it because of Victoria?”
