# Chapter 3: The Quiet Storm Before the Fall
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 3 of "The Breaking Point of Love." If you thought the tension was high before, wait until you see what unfolds now. Our heroine, Celeste, has just handed in her resignation—but not everyone in the company knows the depths of her pain. Let me take you inside that corporate world where one woman's silent suffering finally begins to stir the waters.
When Zeke, one of Trevor's personal secretaries, received Celeste's resignation letter, he was genuinely stunned. You see, Zeke was one of the few people at Fleming Group who knew the truth about Celeste and Trevor's marriage. He had watched from the sidelines for years as Celeste poured her heart and soul into winning Trevor's love—only to be met with cold indifference. She had joined the company specifically to be close to him, to bridge the gap between them. But Trevor refused to make her his personal secretary, and even Arnold's intervention couldn't change his mind. So Celeste settled for a position in the secretarial team, becoming just another face among many.
What amazed Zeke, though, was how Celeste handled herself. She never caused trouble, never abused her position, never sought special treatment—not even during her pregnancy or after giving birth. She worked harder than anyone, rising to become head of the secretarial team, all while hoping to earn Trevor's respect and affection. But love cannot be earned by merit alone, can it? And now, unexpectedly, she was resigning. Something big must have happened, something Zeke knew was not his place to question.
He kept his tone professional. "I acknowledge that I've received your resignation letter. I'll arrange for someone to take over your duties as soon as possible."
Celeste simply nodded and returned to her workstation.
Later, during an online meeting with Trevor, Zeke hesitated to mention Celeste's resignation. He remembered how Trevor had always insisted that all matters regarding Celeste's employment be handled according to company regulations—nothing more. Years ago, when Celeste was up for promotion, the team had nervously asked Trevor for his opinion. He had frowned in annoyance and made it clear: he wouldn't interfere, and they shouldn't bring up her matters again.
So when Trevor noticed Zeke's hesitation and asked, "What is it?" Zeke quickly replied, "Oh, it's nothing." Since Trevor already knew about Celeste's resignation but hadn't mentioned it, Zeke decided to handle everything as usual. Nothing had changed for Trevor. Celeste's presence or absence meant nothing to him.
At noon, a colleague tapped Celeste on the shoulder. "What are you thinking about?"
Celeste smiled faintly and shook her head. She didn't call her daughter, Jordyn, that day—a break from her usual routine of twice-daily calls. Her colleagues knew she had a child, but they had no idea that child was the CEO's daughter.
After work, Celeste went to the supermarket, buying groceries and a few potted plants before heading home. She made dinner, then researched next month's technology exhibition online. Then she made a call.
"Please reserve a ticket for next month's tech exhibition for me."
The voice on the other end was cold. "Are you sure? The last two times you asked me to reserve tickets, you didn't show up. Do you know how many people dream of getting one of those tickets? You wasted them thoughtlessly."
The annual tech exhibition was a major industry event, with tickets incredibly hard to come by. Celeste made a promise: "If I don't show up this time, I will never ask you to reserve a ticket for me ever again."
Silence. Then the line disconnected. Celeste knew he had agreed. A small smile touched her lips, but she didn't tell him the whole truth: she was planning to return to the company she had co-founded. Years ago, she had stepped back during its early days to focus on her marriage and family—a decision that had cost the company dearly. Her colleagues had been furious and disappointed, and they rarely stayed in touch. Now, Celeste wanted to return, but she knew she had been out of the industry too long. She needed time to catch up before making any concrete moves.
For the next few days, Celeste focused on work during office hours and tended to her own plans in the evenings. She didn't reach out to Jordyn or Trevor, and they didn't contact her either. She wasn't surprised. For over six months, her communication with them had been one-sided—she was the only one making the effort.
Meanwhile, in Andostan, Jordyn had developed a habit of calling Wynn every morning. But one day, that call ended in tears. Wynn had told her the devastating news: "I'm going back to the country soon."
Heartbroken, Jordyn called her father. "Dad, did you know about this?"
Trevor was flipping through documents in his office. "Yes."
"When did you find out?"
"It's been a while."
"Dad, you're so mean..." Jordyn hugged her pink stuffed pig and cried loudly. "I don't want Wynn to leave. If she's not here, I don't want to go to school here anymore. I want to go back too!"
Trevor's voice remained calm. "It's already being arranged."
Jordyn didn't understand. "W-What do you mean?"
"We're going back next week."

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
Oh, this chapter was a slow-burning storm, quietly building tension beneath a seemingly calm surface. My heart truly aches for Celeste. She has been invisible for so long—to her husband, to the company, even to her own daughter, who now gravitates toward others. The scene where Zeke decides not to even mention her resignation to Trevor because "it doesn't matter" cut deeply. One can feel the utter loneliness of her existence. Yet, there is a spark of hope in her preparations to return to her own tech company. She is finally choosing herself. And that ending—Jordyn returning home—hints at inevitable collisions ahead. The drama is simmering, and I can't wait to see it boil over.
⭐ **Rating: 4.5 / 5 Stars**
## Next Chapter Prediction
Next chapter, I believe the return of Wynn and Jordyn will force Celeste and Trevor into close proximity again. But now, there is a new dynamic: Celeste is no longer the desperate wife chasing after her husband. She has a plan, a purpose, and perhaps a bit of coldness in her heart. When they meet again, Trevor might finally notice that the woman he always took for granted is slipping away—and that could trigger unexpected feelings in him. Or perhaps Celeste's resignation will finally land on his desk with real weight, forcing him to confront what he has lost. Either way, the breaking point is near!
