Present after two years of divorcement Edmund isn’t at the charity gala for the sake of the cause—it’s all about her. He knows his ex-wife will be there, and he has meticulously planned every detail—from the elegant decor to the handpicked guest list—to ensure that she cannot help but notice him.

Inside an opulent ballroom bathed in glittering lights and a palpable air of exclusivity, Edmund ascends the stage under the guise of delivering a speech on transformation and second chances. Yet, every word he speaks is loaded with a singular, personal message meant only for her.

Throughout his address, his eyes are fixed solely on the spot where she stands, as if she is the only person in the room. His gaze, sharp and unwavering, is accompanied by an arrogant smirk—a silent declaration of his confidence and entitlement.

Each carefully chosen phrase reinforces his belief that his presence is meant to reclaim the bond they once shared. As he reaches the climax of his speech, his arrogance is unmistakable; his smile widens into a self-assured smirk. Then, with his eyes locked onto his ex-wife, he delivers his final line with a haughty flourish.

“And special thank to my ex-wife.”

The media erupts into frenzy, cameras flashing as the audience absorbs the shock. Women in the crowd, once charmed by his allure, now exchange surprised glances at his audacity. Amid all the commotion, his ex-wife remains distant and unresponsive, deliberately ignoring him—a silent yet powerful dismissal of the message he intended for her.
