After i left my ex-husband Ch 2

That had been the happiest time of her life.
After graduation, she turned down the chance to study abroad, choosing instead to work as Javon’s secretary in the Bradford Group.
She poured herself into his world, helping him secure his place as heir, dreaming of marriage, children, and a lifetime together.
Then, Shayla appeared.
In that moment, Jaelynn understood.
She finally saw why the boy who had once promised to marry her never brought it up as a man.
His feelings had changed.
“Jaelynn, come cut the cake with me,” Shayla said with a sweet smile, walking over.
Jaelynn stepped back from her touch, her eyes cool, her voice colder.
No need. Your cake has nothing to do with me.”
Shayla’s gaze dropped, her eyes beginning to glisten.
It wasn’t long before Javon appeared, irritation in his tone.

Jaelynn’s eyes were rimmed red, her voice trembling.
Javon’s expression hardened. He frowned, irritation lacing his words. “Jaelynn, you were the one who wanted to get married, and now you’re the one asking to break up.
“Are you seriously jealous over something so small? I can’t keep spoiling you. Fine, you’re the one who mentioned breaking up. Don’t come back regretting it.”
“Okay. Her breathing steadied, the calm in her tone belying the storm inside.
Behind her, Shayla’s cheerful voice called for a group photo. Javon ignored Jaelynn and strode away.
Outside the hotel, Jaelynn’s phone buzzed with a notification.
It was an Instagram post from Shayla, “Today is the happiest day of my life because I met the most important person.”
In the photo, Shayla sat surrounded by gifts. Front and center was the diamond ring from Javon.
In the comments, Shayla had even tagged Jaelynn to thank her.
Jaelynn glanced at it once, then tapped “like” without a word.
