After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me Together Against the World
MAXWELL'S POV:I stand in front of the cameras, my hands in my pockets, my face calm and steady. The lights are bright, hot on my skin. The journalists are leaning forward, their pens poised with their recorders ready. I have done this before because I have faced the media before. I know how to handle them. I adjust my suit jacket and stare right into the main lens."Elara is my beloved niece," I say. "I love her. She is a good person. And she deserves to be happy."The questions come fast and furious."Are you saying you support her relationship with Alistair?""I am saying I support her," I say. "She is family. And family stands together.""Even after everything she did?""Especially after everything she did," I say. "That is what family does. We forgive, we heal and we move forward together."I look out at the crowd. I see the faces of the journalists. I see the cameras. I see the world watching."Elara is my niece," I say again. "I love her. And anyone who tries to hurt

CELESTINE'S POV:I knew the quiet peace of our lives was not going to last forever, but nothing could have prepared me for the sudden wave of news that hit us this morning. Seeing my family targeted like this makes my stomach turn. I hold my phone in my hand, staring down at the glowing screen in total shock as the notifications keep piling up.I open one of the links. It is a tabloid article, and the headline makes my blood freeze."Elara Ashcroft-Valancourt: The Daughter of a Murderer.""Elara's Secret Past Exposed.""The Truth About the Thornwell Heiress.""Why did she collide with those who wants to bring her adoptive parents down?""Why did the Ashcroft and Valancourt forgive such a shameless girl?""Why did Alistair dates her when he knows she wanted to destroy and kill his family years ago?"A wave of pure disgust rolls over me.

The sun is barely up as I reach for my phone, groggy and confused, and I see the notifications. Dozens of them. Hundreds of them.

After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me Mira's Biggest Weapon
MIRA'S POV:I am so fucking furious right now, as in I am literally raging. I am burning with a fury that has been building for weeks, a fury that has been simmering beneath the surface of my carefully constructed facade, waiting for the moment when I could finally let it loose. I set my cup down on the table so hard that the coffee splashes over the rim.Elara confronted me. She walked into my penthouse like she owned the place. She threatened me. She made me feel small and powerless and weak and I fucking hate feeling small and powerless and weak.I am the one and only Mira Patel and like I bloody said before, I have money, power and connections. I have everything I have ever wanted. I am not supposed to feel small and I am not even supposed to feel powerless or even feel weak.But Elara made me feel all of those things all at once.And now she is going to pay.I decide to escalate. I hire a private investigator. A woman named Evelyn, who has a reputation for finding things
After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me The Line Is Drawn
ELARA'S POV:I feel a surge of anger but I push it down."Why are you doing this?" I ask.She tilts her head. Her eyes are dark and unreadable."Because I love Alistair," she says. "I have always loved him. And I am not going to let you have him.""He does not love you.""He will. Once you are out of the picture."I step closer. I feel the heat of my anger rising again."You need to stop," I say. "You need to leave us alone. Or I will destroy you."She laughs. It is a cold, brittle sound."You cannot destroy me," she says. "I have more money. More power. More connections. You are nothing, Elara. Nothing without the Valancourt and Ashcroft wealth or backings."I look at her and I feel a quiet certainty and cold resolve inside me."We will see," I say.I turn and walk out of the penthouse. The door closes behind me. I stand in the hallway for a moment, breathing hard, my heart pounding in my chest. My fingers curl into tight fists at my sides.I have made my point. I have
After The Divorce: Ex-Husband Regrets And Begs Me A Threat of Her Own
ELARA'S POV:Two days have passed since the break-in. Two days of sleepless nights and endless questions and the slow, grinding process of trying to piece my life back together. The police have come and gone. The forensic team has dusted for prints. The security company has installed new locks and cameras. But the fear remains, a cold knot in my chest that I cannot seem to untangle. I catch myself looking over my shoulder every time I step into a room.I have not been able to sleep. Every time I close my eyes, I see the destruction. The torn sketches. The slashed fabric. The mannequins knocked over like fallen soldiers. Everything I have been working on for months, destroyed in a single act of malice. My hands still shake whenever I think about the ruined clothes sitting on the floor.I have been doing my own research. I have been tracking Mira's movements, her connections, her patterns. I have been digging into her past, her finances, her relationships. I know she hired a private
