Continue Regular Chapter Reading Below **Chasing Light, Finding Peace** - by Rohan Verma "Why are you trying to take what's Autumn's?" Deep within his heart, Mars was acutely aware that Cloudbreak Corporation still relied heavily on Autumn.

Her departure was merely a temporary pause, a brief intermission in the grand play of their lives. He had no doubt that when the company truly needed her expertise, she would inevitably return to her rightful place. After all, Autumn's absence was solely due to the baby; she hadn't formally resigned. Yet, a nagging thought crept into his mind: what if Lydia's reckless actions stirred doubt in Autumn's heart? Autumn remained his wife, a title that carried weight and consequence. If he were to dismiss her so callously, what would the world think of him?

And how would they perceive his relationship with Lydia? Was Lydia incapable of exercising even a modicum of common sense? Why did she persist in her selfish ways? Mars recalled the incident with the alarm clock, a moment of impulsivity that he now regretted deeply. He had foolishly promised Lydia a position in the company, fully aware that she was ill-equipped for such responsibilities. He had given her chance after chance, and now he was left to wonder if that was a grave mistake. The last blunder she had committed was monumental.

If she dared to pull another stunt, Mars was uncertain if he could clean up the mess that would ensue. Lydia had not anticipated Mars confronting her so directly once he uncovered the truth. Her instinct was to adopt a cute demeanor, to pout and play the victim, but with so many executives in the vicinity, she felt restrained. "The chief secretary is supposed to work in the chief secretary's office. I didn't realize I was meant to leave my sister's office untouched," Lydia retorted, her tone laced with faux innocence. Her voice took on a wounded quality.

"Besides, some of her things were already packed when I arrived. I wasn't the one who did all of it." Mars scowled at her flimsy excuse. "That doesn't give you the right to just move her belongings. You should have at least waited to discuss it with her." From her corner, Autumn observed Mars feigning support for her, her expression utterly devoid of emotion. She understood him all too well. His actions stemmed from guilt and a desire to keep her content. If it weren't for that, his selfish nature would have led him to defend his precious mistress without a second thought.

He had never truly stood up for her. If this man had even an ounce of love for her, he would never have cheated, nor would he have used her as a vessel to bear a child for him and Lydia. "I..." Lydia hesitated, wanting to argue, but Mars had already moved beyond the topic. He shot her a disapproving glance, lightly chastising her. "Alright, you didn't mean it. Just remember to think before you act next time. Now that you're going to be working at the company, you need to be more cautious.

You can't afford to make this kind of mistake again." "Once you step into the professional world, people won't be as forgiving or genuine as your sister and I have been," he continued. "If you create chaos out there, there won't be anyone to rescue you." With that, Mars walked over and gently patted Lydia's head. "We'll let it slide this time since you're new to this. Just apologize to your sister, and we'll call it even. She's generous; she won't hold it against you." "I'm sorry, sister," Lydia said, her tone cooperative, though her insides were boiling with resentment.

If Autumn still harbored any feelings for Mars, that display of mock camaraderie would have turned her stomach. But now, with love extinguished, witnessing Mars and Lydia's charade was nothing short of pathetic-like watching two clowns vying for attention. In front of everyone, they brazenly exchanged glances, as if they believed the world was oblivious to their deceit. "It's fine," Autumn replied coolly, her voice barely above a whisper. With those two icy words, she strode purposefully into her office. Mars cast Lydia a reassuring glance before turning on his heel to follow Autumn.

........... As Autumn walked away, she heard the footsteps trailing behind her but chose not to look back. Instead, she found a cardboard box and began methodically packing her belongings. Mars approached and seized her wrist, but she effortlessly shook him off. Stunned, Mars suddenly grasped the gravity of the shift in Autumn's demeanor towards him. "Autumn, are you still upset?" After a moment of contemplation, Mars concluded that his previous actions had wounded her deeply, explaining her current resistance. "I'm not mad," Autumn replied, her expression as placid as still water.

But Mars didn't buy it. In a few swift strides, he closed the gap between them and enveloped her in a firm embrace, resting his chin atop her head much like he used to during their courtship. "Autumn, I know I acted impulsively before. I was wrong. Please don't hold a grudge against me, okay?" "We've been at odds for over two weeks. You moved out and haven't returned even once.

Are you really going to let your husband sleep alone in an empty bed?" "Come back home, please." "This house isn't the same without you, and I can't bear to live without you." "Honestly, with you gone, I can't even remember where my clothes are. It would be mortifying if anyone found out." "Please, Autumn. Have a little compassion for your husband." Autumn realized that she couldn't break free from his grip without risking harm to the baby, so she ceased her struggles, though her heart was heavy. Yet, Mars's embrace felt different now; it lacked the warmth that once enveloped her.

The lingering scent of Lydia's perfume clung to him, assaulting Autumn's senses and making her stomach churn. With a sudden burst of resolve, she shoved Mars away and dashed into the restroom. Mars's expression darkened as she pushed him, but confusion washed over him when he heard the sound of her retching. "Why are you throwing up?" Even though Autumn had long since severed her emotional ties to Mars, his question struck her as absurdly funny. It was a laugh born of pure exasperation. Mars, a grown man, didn't even understand why she was vomiting?

Did he have any room for her in his heart at all? "Morning sickness," she replied curtly. After rinsing her mouth, Autumn grabbed a paper towel to wipe her lips, casting a cool glance at Mars as she returned to her packing. Mars clearly hadn't considered the implications of morning sickness. Realizing how thoughtless he had sounded, he hurried to her side. "I'm so sorry, honey. I've been swamped lately and completely forgot about that. You really need someone to care for you now that you're experiencing morning sickness. You should come home, right?" "Or you could stay at my parents' place.

They miss you a lot, and Mom knows all about raising kids. She'd take excellent care of you." "I'll pick you up today, and we can go home, alright?" Autumn was growing weary of his incessant pleas, so she interjected, "Won't I just be in everyone's way if I come back?" Mars's heart sank. For a fleeting moment, he wondered if Autumn had uncovered something he hadn't anticipated. But she seemed far too composed; it couldn't be. No one remained this calm after learning something so shocking. Perhaps she was simply disillusioned by everything they had put her through recently.

"What are you talking about? How could you possibly be in the way?" "Everyone is eager for your return. You're pregnant now, carrying the son I've always dreamed of. Who would think you're a burden?" Autumn remained silent, only speaking after she had finished packing. "I'll think about it." Mars's brow furrowed in frustration. His patience was running thin, and being rebuffed after pleading with her to return was beginning to grate on his nerves. "Autumn-" Suddenly, an excited shriek from outside interrupted him. "Whoa, who sent this dress?

It's gorgeous!" The sound filtered into the office, and before Mars could voice his irritation, someone peeked their head in, casting an envious gaze at Autumn. "Autumn, it's addressed to you! Come out and see!" Mars's expression soured further, his gaze turning accusatory as he stared at Autumn. "Who sent you something?" Conclusion In the aftermath of the emotional turmoil, Autumn stood resolute, her heart a battleground of conflicting feelings. The weight of Mars's pleas hung heavy in the air, but beneath the surface, a newfound strength began to emerge.

She had spent too long tethered to a love that felt more like a chain than a sanctuary, and with each moment of reflection, the clarity of her worth became undeniable. The allure of returning to the familiar comforts of her old life was overshadowed by the realization that she deserved more than a half-hearted affection, especially when it came from a man who had so easily strayed. As she packed her belongings, she felt a flicker of hope-perhaps this was the beginning of her journey toward true peace, away from the chaos that Mars and Lydia had woven around her.

Meanwhile, Mars grappled with the stark reality of his actions, his heart heavy with regret. The realization that Autumn had grown distant, both physically and emotionally, struck him like a thunderbolt. He had taken her love for granted, and now, as he watched her prepare to leave, a sense of desperation clawed at him. The facade he and Lydia had built was crumbling, revealing the hollow core of their relationship. Mars's attempts to reclaim what he had lost felt increasingly futile as Autumn's indifference pierced through his pleas.

With Autumn's emotional detachment from Mars becoming more pronounced, the stakes are higher than ever. As she grapples with the reality of her situation, the arrival of a mysterious gift adds an intriguing twist. Who could have sent her such a beautiful dress, and what does it signify? This unexpected gesture may bring to light feelings and secrets that have been buried beneath the surface, igniting jealousy and suspicion in Mars, who is already on edge.

Moreover, the chapter promises to delve deeper into Autumn's internal struggle as she weighs the possibility of returning home against her desire for independence and self-respect. Will she allow herself to be swayed by Mars's pleas, or will she stand firm in her resolve to carve out her own path? As the narrative unfolds, readers will be drawn into a whirlwind of emotions, witnessing the fragility of trust and the quest for peace amidst chaos. With Lydia lurking in the background, her motives becoming ever more questionable, the tension is palpable.
