After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me Still Waiting for Him
ELARA'S POV:I told myself it was just curiosity. Just the normal awkwardness of being stepsiblings. Just the strange dynamic of a blended family.But deep down, I knew the truth. I have had a crush on Alistair Ashcroft since I was eighteen years old. And I have never been able to shake it off.I set down the photo, my hands are trembling and my heart is pounding.I have not seen him in seven years. He left when he was eighteen. He never visited. He barely called. He sent gifts on birthdays and holidays but never came home.I have always wondered why. I have always wondered if I did something wrong. I have always wondered if he was running from me.*A sleek black car pulls up to my building on a thursday afternoon, and my driver hands me a thick cream-colored envelope as soon as I step out. I recognize the Ashcroft crest immediately, embossed in gold at the top. My mother's handwriting curls across the front, elegant and familiar.I do not open it right away. I hold it in my hands, f
After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me Seven Years of Longing
ELARA'S POV:I walk into the studio now. The floor is smooth under my feet. The mirrors reflect my image a thousand times over. I am wearing a simple leotard and leggings, my hair pulled back in a messy bun. I look tired. Exhausted. The type of tiredness that comes from working too hard and sleeping too little and pretending that everything is fine.I start to move. The music is in my head, a soft piano piece that I have heard a thousand times. I move through the motions, the pliés and tendus and ronds de jambe that have been part of my life for as long as I can remember.My body remembers what my mind has forgotten. My muscles know what to do. My feet find the rhythm. My arms find the grace.I dance for myself now and not for an audience nor for applause but just for me.When I finish, I am breathing hard. My heart is pounding. My cheeks are flushed. I feel alive in a way that I do not feel anywhere else.I walk to the window. The city spreads out below me and I think about the empti
After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me The Empire She Built
ELARA'S POV:The morning light pours through the floor-to-ceiling windows of my London penthouse, turning the white walls gold and casting long shadows across the polished wood floors. The city is waking up below me, a symphony of distant traffic and early risers and the hum of a million lives being lived. I stand at the window, a cup of tea growing cold in my hands, and I watch the world move on without me.My penthouse is my sanctuary, my workspace and my everything. It is filled with bolts of silk and rolls of chiffon, with half-finished garments draped over mannequins and sketches pinned to every available surface. The air smells like fabric and thread and the faint sweetness of the roses I keep on the counter. It is beautiful and functional and also the physical manifestation of everything I have built.I am twenty eight years old and I am one of the most successful fashion designers in the world. My name is on every magazine cover. My designs are on every red carpet. My collecti
After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me Obsession and Desire
ALISTAIR'S POV:I look at the invitation again. My mother's handwriting. Her careful loops and elegant curves. She has no idea what she is asking me to do. She has no idea that coming home is the most terrifying thing I can imagine."Just get through it," I tell myself. "One weekend. Then you can leave again."I arrange for a private jet. The best of everything, I have the money and also the resources. I can afford to fly in style.But none of it matters. None of it will make this easier.I do not sleep that night. I lie in bed, staring at the ceiling, my mind racing. I think about Elara. About the way she looked at me when I left. About the way she must have felt when I never came back. About the way she probably hates me now.I think about what I will say to her when I see her. What I will do when I am standing in front of her after seven years. How I will control myself.I think about her lips. Her eyes. Her skin. The way she smells. The way she sounds when she laughs.I want her.
After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me Forbidden Desire
ALISTAIR'S POV:Her name echoes in my head like a curse, like an obsession, like a wound that will never heal. Elara. My stepsister. The woman I have been obsessed with since I was fifteen years old. The woman I ran away from. The woman I have spent every single day trying to forget.I have not forgotten. I will never forget. She is burned into my soul, etched into my bones, woven into the fabric of who I am.I think about the day I left. The day I ran away from my feelings. The day I looked into her eyes and knew that I had to leave before I did something unforgivable.I was eighteen years old. She was twenty one. I had just won a scholarship that would take me away for years. A full ride to MIT. The opportunity of a lifetime. I grabbed it like a lifeline, like a rope thrown to a drowning man. I told myself it was for my career. I told myself it was for my future. I told myself that I was doing the right thing.But deep down, I knew the truth. I was running from her.I was running fr
