My Flash Romance With the Richest Mogul



Skylar's heart skipped a beat.

"Who's to say who will lose? You're the one who should be getting ready," she replied.

Joe chuckled on the other end of the line.

After hanging up, Skylar immediately started the car again.

The traffic was a mess. The cars barely moved.

But she was lucky-traffic officers had arrived to direct the flow, and the road would likely clear up soon.

As she approached the traffic light, she suddenly spotted Aiken, the man she had just spoken to on the phone earlier, and he wasn't alone. Standing beside him was Wendy. They appeared deep in conversation.

Skylar glanced at the nearby office building, which housed several companies. Wendy likely worked there. Had Aiken come to see her?noveldrama

Their interaction seemed... peculiar. Aiken's gaze held a mix of anger and affection, a complexity Skylar had never seen before.

Her thoughts flashed to something Caleb had once mentioned-Simona suspected Aiken and Wendy were involved. Perhaps it wasn't just idle gossip.

As the light turned green, Skylar forced herself to look away and drove on.

...

Wendy kept her head down, unable to look Aiken in the eyes.

Their time apart had only deepened her longing, making it harder to suppress the ache in her heart.

She regretted their separation more than she cared to admit. Why had she agreed to let him go?

She loved him deeply, and she knew she always would. No one else could ever take his place. But she couldn't afford to be selfish anymore.

All she could do now was cherish the memories of the past two years. The memories he had given her over the past two years were more than enough.

"Have you found a boyfriend?" Aiken asked in a low voice.

Aiken was convinced that if it hadn't

et

been for a new relationship, Wendy wouldn't have ended things so abruptly. At first, he thought it was just a tantrum, a way for her to demand a more prominent place in his life instead of always being kept in the shadows.

Wendy looked up in surprise at Aiken. "I broke up with you because I thought we couldn't continue like this. I want to have my own family. During the time we were together, I

never strayed. I was always faithful."

UMS

Aiken's expression hardened, his eyes narrowing as he studied her. He already knew the answer. He'd had her investigated. Despite the admirers constantly circling her, she had never entertained any of them.

Yet, she had left him.

And now, he couldn't ignore the possibility that someone else might step into the space he once occupied. Perhaps even offering her marriage. "Come back to me," he said in a low voice.

Wendy was stunned. "You..."

She couldn't believe her ears. Her heart raced uncontrollably. She wondered if he was trying to win her back.

After two years of shared intimacy, she knew exactly what his words meant. But... Aiken was likely just used to her presence. He didn't love her.

"I'm sorry," Wendy said, her voice

trembling. "can't come back to you.

I won't accept a relationship that has to remain hidden. It's not fair to you, and it's not fair to me. And I know one thing for sure-I can't change your decision not to marry

With that, she turned and walked away.
