Alice stood outside her ex-husband\u2019s mansion, still reeling from the shock of being kicked out by the man she had once thought she\u2019d spend the rest of her life with. She never imagined that her fairytale marriage to Lucas, a billionaire, would end in such betrayal and deceit.<\/p>\n
As she stood there, clutching her son\u2019s hand tightly, she couldn\u2019t help but feel a pang of bitterness at how Lucas had manipulated her for his own selfish gains. All those years of marriage, all those promises of love and devotion, had been nothing more than a facade to him.<\/p>\n
But just when Alice thought things couldn\u2019t get any worse, she received an unexpected summons from Lucas\u2019s parents, who had always treated her like their own daughter. They urged her to return to the mansion to try and salvage what was left of her marriage.<\/p>\n
Reluctantly, Alice agreed, hoping against hope that maybe, just maybe, there was still a chance for her and Lucas to work things out. But as she approached the mansion, her heart sank at the sight of her ex-husband\u2019s panicked expression and the presence of a mysterious stranger standing behind him.<\/p>\n
Before Alice could even process what was happening, the stranger stepped forward, his handsome features softened with concern.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlice, I can\u2019t believe I\u2019ve found you!\u201d he exclaimed, his voice filled with urgency. \u201cThis man is not worth your time. Let\u2019s get outta here!\u201d<\/p>\n
Confusion washed over Alice as she stared at the stranger, her mind racing to make sense of the situation.<\/p>\n
\u201cWait, hold up\u2026 who are you?\u201d she demanded, her voice tinged with disbelief. \u201cI don\u2019t even know you.\u201d<\/p>\n
The stranger\u2019s expression softened as he took a step closer to Alice, a glimmer of recognition flickering in his eyes.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust hear me out, Alice,\u201d he pleaded, his voice gentle yet insistent. \u201cWe\u2019ve actually met before. You just don\u2019t remember.\u201d<\/p>\n
As the stranger\u2019s words hung in the air, Alice felt a shiver run down her spine. Who was this man, and what did he mean by saying they had met before? As she searched his face for answers, she couldn\u2019t shake the feeling that her life was about to take an unexpected turn, one that would lead her down a path she never could have imagined.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
