Love Again? Never!Chapter 1

At a friend's wedding, I accidentally noticed that the new male assistant my wife had hired was wearing a ring, the very one I personally designed and custom-ordered just two days ago.

The ring, which was meant to appear on our wedding anniversary, was now adorning another man's ring finger.

I asked Kate what was going on, but she mumbled evasively, "Maybe it's just a coincidence?"

The male assistant looked at me with a playful smile.

I tugged at the corner of my lips and smirked mockingly, "That's quite the coincidence."

When we got back, I prepared the divorce papers. Later, I told her, "If you like him so much, then marry him."

Her eyes turned slightly red and her voice trembled, "You're my man."

Not anymore. The moment you gave him that ring, you stopped being mine.

At the wedding, as I was chatting and laughing with the groomsmen, a commotion stirred in the crowd.

"Isn't that Kate Bogart, the CEO of her own company? She's so beautiful. I wonder who's lucky enough to marry such a woman."

"I heard she's a staunch advocate of not getting married. Apparently, she's still single."
