For three years, Eric kept his identity as “Nexus,” a top-tier avionics engineer, a secret, working as an ordinary airline captain—all to help his aloof CEO wife, Madeline, keep the airline afloat.
But after three years of sacrifice, all he received in return was his wife’s blatant disdain: “You’re nothing more than a pilot who can fly a plane. How can you possibly compare to a tech genius like Kevin?”
To protect her first love’s reputation, she even went so far as to pin the blame for a major system failure entirely on Eric, forcing him to surrender his pilot’s license!
“Since my sincerity has only earned me humiliation, I’m done playing the savior.”
He hurled his captain’s epaulets and the divorce agreement right in the face of that heartless woman. Eric finally shed his disguise and returned to the top!
When the code he casually wrote saved the world’s paralyzed navigation system, and when the discarded draft he’d thrown in the trash became the pride and joy of his former flame, Madeline finally realized with horror—the mysterious “god of avionics” she’d spent hundreds of millions of dollars on and begged for help from all over the world was none other than her ex-husband, whom she’d kicked out of the house!
Just as Madeline, with tears welling in her eyes, begged Eric for forgiveness, her younger sister-in-law Eve—whom Madeline had always been afraid to cross—flashed the diamond ring she’d just slipped onto her finger and interlaced her fingers with Eric’s. Eric looked calmly at Madeline, who was clinging to him desperately, his tone completely unruffled: “Madeline, we’re very happy now. Please don’t come bother us anymore.”
