Drunk and Daring I Kissed a Tycoon novel Chapter 1

Luke Munoz cheated.

Vespera Gildon stood outside the president's office, her body stiff as if encased in ice. Her black stilettos seemed to merge with the dark marble floor beneath her. 

After a long pause, she finally raised her hand and knocked on the door. 

A deep, familiar voice responded from inside. "Come in." 

Vespera tightened her grip on the documents in her hand and pushed the door open with the other. As she stepped inside, she forced a faint smile onto her face and approached Luke. 

"Are you busy? There are a few urgent documents that need your signature." Even as Vespera asked, she had already placed the papers before him, flipping them open to the pages that required his signature.

Luke had just returned from a business trip to Shawford earlier that morning. He had come straight to the office to tackle the mountain of work waiting for him. His desk was cluttered with files, and his handsome, well-defined face bore traces of exhaustion. 

Without even glancing at the documents, he signed them quickly. "Thanks for your hard work."

Vespera gathered the signed papers and asked, "Will you be home for dinner tonight?" 

"I have plans tonight. You don't need to wait for me," he replied without looking up. 

"Okay. I'll head out then." Vespera turned and walked away, clutching the documents. As she did, her smile faded into a cold, mocking expression.

As Vespera passed the restroom in the office, a faint sound reached her ears. It seemed like a small animal jumping off the bed and landing on the floor. 

Her gaze swept over the couch area, where a few snack wrappers and a half-finished milk tea lay on the coffee table. On the floor, a pastel pink high heel lay tipped over.

Everything became clear instantly. Her heart turned cold, crumbling into ash.

Vespera returned to her office. The short walk back drained all her energy. When she finally sat down, she let out a long, weary sigh.

She pulled one document from the stack in her hands. It was a divorce agreement.

Flipping to the last page, Vespera traced the lines of his signature with a mocking expression, her mind flashing back to memories. 

Luke vowed to marry Vespera back then. However, Vespera's mother-in-law warned her not to get too comfortable, as no man could stay loyal to one woman forever.

Vespera was naive enough to believe they were different. But what difference was there?

Luke had cheated on her with a young woman. He was convinced he was hiding it well, indulging in the thrill of his affair. He had even brought her along on his business trip to Shawford. And now, he had brought her back to the office.

Vespera withdrew her finger and snapped a photo of the signed divorce agreement. She then sent it to her mother-in-law, Fiona Reeds, with a simple message. "He signed it."
