Novel1Chapter 263 Zayn and Josephine first met at a seaside restaurant.
Until then, they had only seen each other's photos.
Zayn had been more than satisfied with Josephine's appearance. She was undeniably beautiful.
For someone of his status, arranged marriages rarely involved such stunning women. So, he had readily agreed to Joe's plan.
But when he saw her in person, he was stunned.
Josephine had worn a red dress. She stood on the deck with the night breeze gently tousling her hair. Under the moonlight, she looked like a mermaid that had just emerged from the ocean.

However, Josephine's first impression of Zayn was just average.
She was a woman who valued good looks. While Zayn was undeniably handsome, he hadn't quite reached the level that captivated her.
She had seen men with good looks who could topple cities. Compared to them, Zayn barely left an impression. She was immune to men like him.
And that was how their contractual marriage began.
As Zayn reminisced, a bitter smile formed on his lips. He let out a sigh.
"Just get to the point. If not, I'm hanging up," he replied.
"You're seriously expectingto tell you what's going on? I should be the one asking you! Why didn't you tellJosephine's a film director?" Joe snapped.
What? Still groggy from sleep, Zayn raked a hand through his hair. "What the hell are you talking about? Who's a film director?" "I'm talking about Josephine! What? You didn't know? You idiot. Open the trending searches right now!" What was this old lunatic on about? Zayn was filled with confusion. He went online and checked the trending topics.
The headline, "Josephine Dunn is actually Director Jo!" appeared on his screen. What kind of joke was this? When he clicked on the news articles, he was met with a flood of familiar yet strangely unrecognizable photos. In that instant, his entire world crumbled.
The woman he had slept beside for the past three years had been living a secret life. No, it wasn't a secret. The entire world had known.
She was the legendary Director Jo. The sdirector he had personally invited for a collaboration, only to be outright rejected.
"You're the biggest idiot I've ever seen. How could you not know who your own wife was? She played you for three damn years! What are you even good for?" Joe's furious voice exploded through the phone.
But Zayn wasn't listening anymore. He kept scrolling through the photos. He stared at the photos of Josephine, smiling so brightly. A bitter and suffocating weigh settled on his chest.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSo, this time, Yvan had known she was Director Jo. Ethan had known as well.
Everyone knew. Everyone but him.
Josephine had kept it from him alone.
And that could only mean one thing.
She never trusted him. She probably never even loved him.
That thought alone made his heart feel like it was being torn apart.
Without a second thought, he hung up on Joe and immediately dialed Josephine Just as he pressed the lal' button, he remembered that she had blocked him long ago.
This time, he didn't hesitate. He grabbed his alternate phone, about to call her again. Suddenly, his phone rang. "Hello, Mr. Forbes. I'm Xavier, a
mediator from Crestwood Court. My employee ID is 3578. I'm reaching out to discuss the mediation process for your divorce. Please feel free to share withany of your requests or concerns." Divorce mediation? Zayn's blood boiled.
"Mediate your damn ass!" he roared. "I'm not getting divorced!"
