Rejected No More: I Am Way Out Of Your League, Darling!

Chapter 1048:

What Carol chose to withhold was that, while Daniela lay in a coma for three years, turmoil had spread among Elite Lux’s executives. Believing she would never regain consciousness, they seized the opportunity to claim a substantial share of the company’s resources.

Outwardly, Elite Lux still projected an image of success, but those within the company knew the truth—without Daniela, it was merely an empty shell. It stood like a skyscraper with crumbling foundations, one tremor away from collapse.

Carol kept her concerns to herself. Life was unpredictable. After three years of separation, there was no guarantee that Cedric’s love for Daniela had remained the same. Would Cedric see this as a chance to exploit Elite Lux’s downfall? After all, in business, profit often outweighed sentiment. There was no room for further losses.

On top of that, Carol wasn’t sure where Daniela’s heart stood. In Daniela’s mind, she had only just divorced Alexander, and traces of emotion for him still lingered. Did Alexander stand a chance at rekindling the past? Carol wasn’t sure, though she silently wished against it. Affairs of the heart were anything but predictable.

“That’s all for now,” Carol said to Cedric with polite finality. “Daniela has a follow-up exam this afternoon. We should get going.” With that, Daniela walked away with Carol.

Just before stepping into the car, Daniela hesitated and glanced back. Amid the endless stretch of flowers, her gaze sought out Cedric from a distance. She couldn’t explain it, but something about seeing her old classmate stirred a feeling of familiarity. Yet, his eyes held a sorrow so deep it unsettled her.

A strange ache settled in Daniela’s chest, as if an invisible hand was closing around her heart. The sensation left her breathless.

“Daniela, let’s go,” Carol urged, noticing her sudden pallor.

Daniela nodded faintly and stepped into the car. The vehicle drove off, disappearing into the endless field of blooms.

Overcome with excitement, Alexander grabbed his phone and dialed his secretary. “Drive to the flower field!” This time, he wouldn’t let Daniela slip away—he would fix the mistakes of the past.

Cedric remained motionless, lost in thought.

Just now, Daniela’s gaze had felt so unfamiliar, as if their love had never existed. It was as if the deep affection they once shared had been completely erased over the past three years.

The pain was sharp, but beneath it, a strange sense of relief settled in Cedric’s heart. Only those who have endured deep loss understand that love isn’t everything. What truly matters is knowing that the one you cherish is alive, breathing, and thriving beneath the same sky. That, in itself, is a blessing from fate. Regardless of everything, he just wanted Daniela to be happy.

That fleeting smile was all the reassurance he needed.

Alexander shoved his hands into his pockets and smirked. “Cedric, this time, I’ll compete with you fair and square.”

He wasn’t the same man from three years ago. Now, he sat at the top—president of the commerce association, commanding unmatched influence.noveldrama

He had the looks, the wealth, and the power, while Cedric…
