The Divorce Prescription

"When are you planning to leave for the Capitol?" Perry asked.

"I haven't decided yet," Celine replied.

Perry took out a gold-embossed invitation. "Don't wait, Celine. Leave tomorrow. The Capitol is about to host an Apex Gala, inviting the top 100 individuals from the Summit Index. Everyone attending is a powerful figure in high society. This is your invitation."

Celine took the invitation and opened it. Inside, her alias-Linny-was elegantly printed.

"The world's most influential pharmaceutical conglomerate, Alpite Pharma, will have its mysterious boss, Linny, attending this Apex Gala. The news has already spread, and your presence will be the event's highlight. This is the perfect opportunity for you to return to the Capitol."

Linny was Celine's alias, known only to a select few. She was the true power behind Alpite Pharma, the most prestigious medical corporation in the world.

Celine didn't refuse the invitation but hesitated, glancing at Bella, who was happily drawing with her nanny.

"But if I go to the Capitol, what about Bella? She's never been apart from me. She's really clingy," Celine said, clearly worried.

Perry raised an eyebrow. "Celine, aren't you bringing Bella with you?"

Celine shook her head. "No."

"Why not? Are you afraid of Bella meeting her father?"

Celine looked into the distance. "Adam and I are over. He's going to marry Carly, the heiress of the richest family. I don't want Bella and Adam to meet.
