Divorced Dazzling and Desired novel Chapter 26

**TITLE: Raindrops Kissing Silent Streets – by Aadi Sharma**

**Chapter 26**

Renee was not averse to having a little fun; the cruise ship was a veritable treasure trove of entertainment, brimming with activities that promised laughter and joy. Yet, a gnawing worry tugged at her heartstrings, casting a shadow over her excitement. The thought of Alison accidentally crossing paths with Adam and Kayla sent shivers down her spine. With Alison’s notoriously fiery temperament, the potential for chaos loomed large, and Renee couldn’t shake the feeling that a trivial encounter could spiral into something explosive.

In light of all this, opting to stay in and sidestep any possible drama seemed like the wisest choice.

Two days later, the ship docked back in Harborview City, and reality came rushing back like a tidal wave. The Ascend Group, after several days of indulgent vacation, was now buried under an avalanche of work that had accumulated in Adam’s absence. Days turned into nights, and still, Adam remained elusive, consumed by the demands of his job.

Renee refrained from probing into his whereabouts, though she couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief at his absence. He called her occasionally, his voice strained as he explained the overwhelming workload that kept him tethered to the office. “I’m swamped, Renee,” he would say, the frustration evident in his tone. “I won’t be able to come home anytime soon.”

With each passing day without him, an unexpected sense of ease enveloped her.

With some free time on her hands, she decided to channel her energy into something meaningful. She hired someone to shop for children’s clothing and books, and even arranged for a dessert chef to whip up sweet treats. Her heart swelled with anticipation as she planned a visit to the orphanage on September 29th, eager to bring joy to the children with her thoughtful gifts.

Once her preparations were complete, she made her way to Alison’s workplace, Genome Tech.

The company had been operational for over a year, and despite its growth to a team of more than a hundred, it still struggled to turn a profit. The atmosphere buzzed with a mix of ambition and anxiety, and Renee felt a twinge of concern as she entered the building.

She had personally invested two hundred million into Genome Tech, and in return, Alison had granted her twenty percent of the shares. The decision to sign a nominee shareholder agreement was a strategic move made in the wake of her impending divorce from Adam, designed to sidestep complications in asset division. The funds had been meticulously channeled through an overseas account, skillfully maneuvered through several intermediaries before finally landing in Alison’s hands.

Upon joining the company, Alison wasted no time in placing Renee in the R&D Department and appointing her as the Head of the Project Division.
