A Decade’s Betrayal Chapter 11By Novel7s / May 1, 2026 A Decade’s Betrayal Chapter 11Lucian came in a hurry that day and left just as quickly.I didn’t know what he had come for, but through former colleagues, I gradually learned what had happenedafterward.After leaving my wedding, Lucian went straight to the hospital.He spent a full six months there before resurfacing at Vance Enterprises, a quieter, more subdued version of the man he’d once been.No one knew what illness he had been treated for.However, Victoria had already been fired by Lucian before my wedding.It was even rumored that, perhaps under his orders, she was unable to find a single job after leaving thecompany.After hearing that gossip, I quickly put it out of my mind.From the day Christopher and I got married, Lucian became a complete stranger to me.After marriage, Christopher and I lived an ordinary but happy life.Sometimes I asked him whether he minded my past with Lucian.Christopher would only smile gently and rub the top of my head.“The only thing I feel toward that chapter of your life,” he said, his eyes warm and steady, “is gratitude. His loss was my greatest fortune.”A year later, Christopher and I welcomed a daughter.She was incredibly adorable, and we named her Sophie.When Sophie was two, I took my hard–won experience and launched my own media company.The company wasn’t large, but it still earned tens or even hundreds of thousands a year.That’s when the final lesson crystallized for me–the most enduring fairy tale is the one you write for yourself.Don’t wait for a prince; become the monarch of your own destiny.Don’t chase a glass slipper; forge your own crown.
