Garrett was furious, punching the elevator display screen and shattering it.
The moment the elevator doors opened, he rushed frantically toward home.
“Aria, how are you going to fix this mess you’ve made!”
But the house was empty–the person who used to wait for him at home had vanished.
Everything in the house that belonged to me was gone.
Seeing the wedding rings and keys on the table, Garrett could barely stay standing.
He pulled out his phone to call me, only to discover he’d been blocked.
Willow watched it all with excitement on her face, feeling the thrill of petty victory.
She picked up the wedding ring from the table, turning it over and examining it for a long time.
Finally, she couldn’t resist trying it on.
And it happened to fit perfectly.
“Mr. Montgomery, look–this ring fits me perfectly too!”
Garrett snapped back to reality, and seeing the ring on Willow’s finger, he charged at her like a
madman.
“Who said you could wear that?”
“That’s mine and Aria’s wedding ring! Take it off!”
Willow was startled by his sudden change.
She cried pitifully, her eyes turning red, but the ring was stuck tight and wouldn’t come off.
“Mr. Montgomery, I… I can’t get it off.”
Looking at Willow’s swollen red finger, Garrett’s eyes blazed with fury.

His Secretary ‘Accidentally Rooked Our Divorce Co 1’Aidan
Chapter 5
“Do you know Aria has OCD? If she finds out you touched her ring, she’ll never want it back.”
“Willow, you’re just a secretary–who gave you permission to be so presumptuous?”
“Mr. Montgomery… but… but… I really can’t get the ring off, I’m sorry! I didn’t mean to wear it!”
Garrett tried several times, making Willow howl in pain, but still couldn’t get the ring off.
With no other choice, he had to call 911.
The firefighter took one look and said there was nothing they could do except cut the ring off.
“No! That’s my wedding ring!”
The firefighter frowned. “What’s more important–the ring or the person? You’d rather cut off the
finger than cut the ring?”
“Then take her to the hospital to amputate the finger.” Garrett said expressionlessly, his voice even.
Willow’s suppressed sobs exploded in that moment, and she dropped to her knees begging Garrett:
“Please, no!”
“Mr. Montgomery, I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have coveted Aria’s things.”
‘I’ll pay for it, okay? I’ll compensate you.”
Garrett crouched down, lifting Willow’s chin, his cold stare making her tremble uncontrollably.
‘You’ll pay?”
“That ring cost hundreds of thousands–what are you going to pay with!”
Only then did the firefighter realize this was some rich kid’s kept woman drama, and he shook his head and left after a few words.
Terrified that Garrett would actually take her to amputate her finger, Willow frantically worked at the ring.
Not until her finger was bloody and raw did the ring finally loosen and fall off.
“It’s off.”
Chapter 5
“I’ll clean it right away, Mr. Montgomery…”
Willow stumbled into the bathroom, scrubbing the ring spotless before placing it carefully back in its
box.
Only then did Garrett’s rage begin to subside.
But the next second, he sank into the gloom of not being able to reach me.
“This is all your fault! If you hadn’t screwed up the appointments, Aria and I would have been married already!”
“Go schedule our marriage license appointment right now!”
Willow had naturally seen my social media post and knew this task was impossible to complete.
But she was too afraid of Garrett’s anger, so she could only bite the bullet and agree.
“I’ll do it. I’ll go schedule it right away.”
But Willow wrote her own name and Garrett’s on the appointment form.
Soon after, Garrett received a marriage license notification.
“So Aria was lying to me!”
“I actually thought she’d really married someone else!”
Garrett’s anxious heart finally settled.
‘Aria can’t live without you–how could she marry someone else!”
‘Don’t worry about it, Mr. Montgomery.”
Willow breathed a sigh of relief, but her heart kept pounding.
“Give me your phone. I’ll call Aria.”
Willow’s hand holding the phone trembled.
