After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me Kier's Final Move
VLADIMIR'S POV: I watch my empire burn from a safe house in Eastern Europe. The walls are concrete. The windows are boarded. The only light comes from a single bulb hanging from the ceiling. I sit in a wooden chair and I stare at the television screen, watching the news reports, watching my life's work disappear in a flood of red ink and legal jargon and empty buildings. Lysander Ashcroft did this. He did this to me. He did this to my family. My son is in prison. My wife is dead. My allies have abandoned me. My fortune is gone. Everything I built, everything I sacrificed for, everything I bled for, is gone. I should feel something. Anger. Grief. The burning desire for revenge. But I feel nothing. I am empty. Hollow. A ghost in a concrete room. I think about Kier Thornwell. The man who started all of this. The man who came to me with his desperate plea and his broken soul and his willingness to trade everything for revenge. He is dead now. He died in a prison hospital, alone and
After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me Vladimir's Revenge
LYSANDER'S POV: Vladimir Drakon had been quiet since Kier's death and his son Nikolai's imprisonment. That was what worried me. I had spent years in this world, learning to read the spaces between moves, and I knew what silence from a man like Vladimir meant. It did not mean gone. It did not mean defeated. It meant patience. It meant watching from somewhere I could not yet see, waiting for the moment I dropped my guard. I had not dropped my guard. I had informants in places that would make most people uncomfortable to know about. Eyes and ears embedded in the quieter corners of the underworld, people who reported to people who reported to me through channels deliberately designed to be tedious to trace. One of them, a woman connected to a man who is connected to another man who owed me a favour, came to me with news that settled in my chest like cold water. She sat across from my desk with her hands folded in her lap, composed in the way that people who work dangerous jobs learn
After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me Maxwell's Little Girl
MAXWELL'S POV:The hospital room fills up quickly.Lysander comes first, with Celestine and Elara and Alistair. He looks at my daughter with those gray eyes and his face softens in a way I have never seen before."She is beautiful," he says. "She looks just like Athena.""She has Maxwell's smile," Celestine says. "And I know some of Athena's stubbornness."Athena glares at her. "My stubbornness is a gift."Celestine grins. "A gift to all of us."Elara tugs on my sleeve. She is four now, still quiet, still cautious, but more confident than she was when she first arrived. She looks at the baby with wide green eyes."Is that my cousin?" she asks."It is," I say. "Her name is Isabelle."Elara nods. "She is small.""Babies are very small."Alistair is in Lysander's arms. He is almost a year old, his dark hair thick and his gray eyes bright. He reaches toward his sister, his hand grabbing at the air. He does not understand what is happening, not really. But he knows that something important
After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me Athena's Daughter
ATHENA'S POV:A Few Months Later…I give birth to a daughter some months after my wedding.The labor is long. Longer than I expected. Longer than I prepared for. I spent my whole pregnancy reading books and attending classes and convincing myself that I was ready for this. But nothing could have prepared me for the reality of it. The pain. The exhaustion. The moment when the doctor looks at me and says, "One more push," and I think I cannot do it, I cannot do it, I cannot do it.But I do it. I do it because I have to. I do it because my daughter is waiting. I do it because Maxwell is holding my hand and telling me that I am amazing, that I am strong, that I can do this.She is born at 6 AM on a Tuesday and she is tiny and perfect and she has Maxwell's smile and my stubbornness.They place her on my chest. Her skin is warm against mine. Her eyes are closed. Her tiny fingers are curled into fists. She is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.I look up at Maxwell. He is standing bes
After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me Roses and New Beginnings
LYSANDER'S POV:"Are you a happy baby?" she asks him. "Are you a happy, happy baby?"Alistair gurgles. She laughs. A real laugh. The first one I have heard from her.I back away slowly, careful not to disturb them. I find Celestine in the kitchen. She is making tea, her back to me, her shoulders tense."Celestine," I say.She turns. Her eyes are red."Elara called me Mummy," she says.I freeze."What?""She called me Mummy. Just now. She was playing with Alistair and she looked up and she said, 'Mummy, can I have some juice?'""Did you give her the juice?""I gave her the juice. And then I came in here and I cried."I walk over to her. I wrap my arms around her and pull her close."Happy tears?" I ask."Happy tears," she says. "The happiest tears ever."I hold her. Her body shakes with silent sobs."You are a good person, Celestine Valancourt Ashcroft," I say. "The best person I know."She looks up at me. Her brown eyes are wet."I am just trying to do the right thing," she says."Tha
After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me The Children of Our Hearts
CELESTINE'S POV:Bringing Elara home is not easy.I knew it would not be easy. I prepared myself for the tears and the hiding and the quiet, wary looks that she gave me every time I walked into a room. I told myself that it would take time, that she would need space, that I could not force her to love me or trust me or even like me.But knowing something and living through it are two very different things.The first week is the hardest.Elara cries at night. I hear her through the walls, the sound of her small sobs muffled by her pillow. I want to go to her. I want to hold her and tell her that everything is going to be okay. But I know that rushing into her room in the middle of the night will only scare her more. So I wait. I sit in the hallway outside her door, my back against the wall, my hand pressed against my mouth to keep myself from crying too.She calls me "Celestine." Not "Mummy." Not "Mom." Just Celestine, the name of the stranger who took her from the only home she has ev
After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me I’m Still Here
They kept walking.The sun was starting to set now and the gardens were quiet, the birds settling in for the night, the fountain splashing softly in the distance. The air was cool and smelled like earth and roses and something sweet from the orchards beyond the valley.They stopped at a bench overl
After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me A Walk Through The Garden
They walked through the gardens together.Celestine didn't know who suggested it. Maybe her mother. Maybe her father. Maybe it was just the natural thing to do, to walk among the roses and the fountains and the old stone paths, to let the beauty of the estate do the talking while they figured out w
After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me Sorry, I Wasn't There
She watched from the window as her father walked out to greet him.August Valancourt shook Lysander's hand with both of his, the way he did with people he truly respected, and he said something that made Lysander nod solemnly. Then her mother appeared, and Isabelle kissed Lysander on both cheeks, t
After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me The First Time Again
She wanted to see him. She wanted to know what 17 years had done to the boy with the gray eyes and the intense stare and the promises he had no business making.She wanted to know if he had really waited.She spent the morning getting ready.It was absurd, she knew. She was not trying to impress hi
