She Left Without A Goodbye Chapter 01

Yvette found his husband Elliot had a mistress four years ago.
The grand gala for their fourth wedding anniversary was a spectacle of excess.
The venue was lavishly decorated, and the guests murmured in open admiration.
"I heard Mr. Lawler announced he'd spare no expense to secure whatever piece Mrs. Lawler wanted for their anniversary gift."
"God, Yvette really has it all. She has neither power nor status, yet Mr. Lawler dotes on her like she's royalty."
The words sank into Yvette's heart like honey-dipped needles—sweet on the surface, but piercing underneath.
She looked toward Elliot as he approached, surrounded by a crowd.
The last time they'd actually seen each other face-to-face was two weeks ago.
For those two weeks, the tracker showed him on a business trip in Houston, yet in the video sent by a private investigator, he was in this very city, accompanying his secretary to pick out a wedding dress.
So, the tracker was a lie.
And their marriage had long since become a hollow shell.
"Happy anniversary, Vette."
Elliot reached out, fastening a heavy, brilliant emerald necklace around her throat.
As the icy stones touched her skin, Yvette looked up, meeting a gaze that still simmered with feigned devotion.
This man had once occupied every corner of her youthful heart.
At eighteen, she had fled her home to escape an arranged marriage.
When she had nowhere to go, it was Elliot who gave her a home.
When her father's men dragged her back again, she struck a bargain with the old man. She would work in the shadows and make Elliot a billionaire without relying on her family within five years.
If she won, the Jimenez Group would be hers, and her family could not stop her from being with Elliot.
If she lost, the marriage would end, and she would submit unconditionally to whatever union the family chose next.
For the chance to be with Elliot without shadows hanging over them, Yvette had bet everything.
She socialized with him, drinking until she was hospitalized with gastric bleeding 99 times.
She schemed and fought for his business, braving difficulties and humiliation to beg for opportunities.
By twenty, she had saved up the seed money to launch Elliot's business.
When he was nearly killed protecting her, she went to church every day to pray for him.
He said, "Vette, I'll give you the best of everything in the world."
And he truly did value her above everything in his life.
For these five years, they had practically emptied their souls to love one another.
But when Elliot's group was founded, his assistant made a mistake that he spelled "Ellyette" as "Ellyetta."
To make it up to her, Elliot risked his life to pluck a thousand rare gemstones for her.
She had once firmly believed he was madly in love with her.
But a month ago, a woman named Loretta Cahill became his secretary.
Elliot said she was his life-saver, and he only kept her by his side to repay the debt.
Yvette tried her best to believe him. But one day, she accidentally overheard Elliot's friends teasing him.
"Elli, are you really giving the 'Ellyetta Group' you two built to Lori? If Yvette ever finds out, you'll be screwed."
For a long moment, there was silence.
Then Elliot's voice sounded. "Lori saved my life four years ago. Without her, I'd be dead. Besides, over the past four years, she's helped me plenty from the shadows. The 'Ellyetta Group' doesn't even begin to cover what she deserves. As for Vette, she broke ties with her family for me. As long as I want it, she'll stay by my side for the rest of her life."
In that moment, Yvette finally realized that Elliot and Loretta had known each other all along.
And the so-called "stake" that created the name Ellyetta Group... was never a spelling error at all.
