Chapter 1
Alberto was helped onto the car by Bryce and, upon seeing me, he paused for a moment.
His dreamy eyes instantly became clear, and he reached out and palled me into his arms, saying, “It’s just a party, Bryce can come pick me up.”
“You were not feeling well, so don’t keep nonning around.”

I forced out a smile and said, “I was just worried about you.”
He affectionately touched my face and said, “The company’s new mall will open tomorrow, and I may be busy until late before I can come back. You should obediently go to sleep at home and not wait for me.”
“The weather has been changeable recently, you should pay more attention to your health.”
Late at night, I tossed and turned unable to fall asleep, remembering that my headphones were left in the study.
In the study, a few comers of paper were peeking out from under the drawer of the desk.
Normally, this drawer was locked.
I pulled it down inexplicably and unexpectedly opened the drawer.
It was Alberto who had developed and was developing all the new plots and shops in the past few years, along with the design blueprints and a black velvet box.
I opened the drawings and carefully looked through each page, and suddenly I realized that without exception, the names and floors of these plots and shops even had the word “Lexie” on them: Lexie Mall, Lexe Apartments, Lexie Jewelry…
Although my profession was an architect, after marriage Alberto said he was afraid I would work too hard, so he never let me get involved in the
company’s affairs,
Originally, every corner of his business empire was painted with endless love for Lexie.
I opened the velvet box, it was empty, but the certificate of authenticity was still there.
A few days ago, the Heart of the Sea diamond necklace was sold online for a staggering price of 300 million.
I really like this necklace. However, Alberto said, “Frida, this necidace doesn’t match your style. If you want a necklace, Herines or Chanel would be
suitable, and I’ll buy it for you.”
I remembered that yesterday on Instagram, Lexie was wearing the Heart of Sea necklace around her neck.
Walking to the terrace, the night was deep, and the wind messed up my hair.
I wiped away the tears from the comers of my eyes with force, but the more I wiped, the more there were
The
ephone screen lit up, and a message popped up: “Ms. Hensley, are you sure you have thought it through?
“I have decided.”
It was time to leave.
The next day, when I was leaving in the morning, I called out to Alberto, “Tonight, I’m going to Valedge”
He was somewhat surprised, “Why so sudden?
I felt a tinge of bitterness in my heart and pretended to be casual, “I made plans to go beauty shopping with a friend in Valedge, and I’ll be back in two or three days.”
He gently kissed me on the face, unaware of my sadness. “Alright then, let’s go for a walk and buy a few handbags.”
I couldn’t help but sigh, a person can disguise their deep affection to the utmost perfection.
Since everything was fake, I should also completely withdraw from this farce.
I remembered the address of this newly opened shopping mall on the blueprint, so I took a taxi directly there.
