The headquarters rose from the city like a statement.

Steel, glass, and clean lines—no ornamentation, no unnecessary grandeur. Our company had been built on infrastructure, and it showed. Everything here existed for function, for permanence. Roads, bridges, systems meant to outlast the people who commissioned them.

I stepped out of the elevator beside Elias, the doors sliding open to the executive floor.

“Good morning, Ms. Reyes.”

“Welcome back, Ms. Reyes.”

The greetings came naturall

  • After The Divorce: He Wanted Me Back   Author's Note

    To my dear readers,We have finally reached the end of Gabriel and Isabella’s journey, and I couldn't let the curtains close without saying a huge thank you to all of you.From Day 1 until this final "I do," your support has been my biggest inspiration. To those who left comments, shared your theories, and felt the pain and joy of the characters right along with me—thank you. Your words kept me going and made the world of the Thornes feel so much more alive.Thank you for your incredible patience. I know there were moments of tension and heart-wrenching waits, but you stayed by my side through every plot twist and emotional hurdle. Knowing that you were waiting to see how Isabella and Gabriel would find their way back to each other made every chapter worth writing.Although their story is now complete, my journey as a storyteller is only just beginning. I have so many more worlds to build and characters to introduce to you, and I truly hope you’ll join me for the next adventure.I can

  • After The Divorce: He Wanted Me Back   Chapter 207: A Legacy of Love and Power

    Isabella The morning sun hit the Thorne estate with a brilliance that seemed almost intentional, as if even the weather had been brokered into submission. Outside the massive wrought-iron gates, the air hummed with the electric energy of a city in a frenzy. A sea of reporters, paparazzi, and onlookers lined the streets, their cameras poised to capture a glimpse of the "Wedding of the Century." The headlines were already swirling: The Rebirth of Thorne: A Legacy of Love and Power.Inside, the gardens had been transformed into a cathedral of glass, white peonies, and gold leaf. This wasn't just a wedding; it was a declaration. It was Gabriel Thorne showing the world that his house was no longer made of secrets and shadows, but of light and unyielding strength.I stood before the full-length mirror in the bridal suite, the weight of the silk and lace draped over me like a suit of armor—but a beautiful one. This was different from our first wedding. Back then, I felt like a girl being pu

  • After The Divorce: He Wanted Me Back   Chapter 206

    Isabella Two months had passed, and the scent of ash and antiseptic had been replaced by the sweet, crisp air of a new season. The morning sun hit the floor-to-ceiling windows of the newly renovated Thorne Corporate headquarters, but the atmosphere inside was nothing like the cold, suffocating environment of the past.I stood in the center of the executive suite, looking at a collaborative blueprint spread across the table. It bore two logos side-by-side: Thorne Corporate and Verity Construction & Design. Our partnership wasn't just a legal formality; it had become the gold standard of the industry.The door opened, and Mia bounded in, looking radiant. She wasn't dragging an IV pole this time; she was carrying a stack of finalized contracts and a massive grin."Morning, Mrs. Thorne!" she chirped, dropping the files on the desk. "Elias just finished the structural audit for the new harbor project. He’s already at the firm’s office waiting for us. Honestly, I think he just likes being

  • After The Divorce: He Wanted Me Back   Chapter 205

    Isabella The morning sun streaming through the hospital windows felt unusually bright, as if the world itself was scrubbing away the soot and shadows of the night before. I adjusted my coat to hide the bandages on my arms, catching Gabriel’s reflection in the mirror. He was standing by the door with my discharge papers in hand, his expression still clouded with hesitation."Isa, we can still postpone this. You’ve only just been cleared to leave. We could go straight to a hotel so you can sleep," he suggested, his voice a mix of tenderness and worry.I turned to him, placing my hands on his cheeks to still his racing mind. "Gab, I won’t be able to rest until the final chapter of this is written. I need this closure as much as you do."He took a deep breath and nodded, knowing my stubbornness was a match for his own. "Fine. But we’re stopping by Elias’s room first."When we reached Elias’s floor, we were greeted by a familiar scene. Mia, who had also just been discharged, was perched o

  • After The Divorce: He Wanted Me Back   Chapter 204

    Isabella The hospital was quieter now that the sun had set, the frantic energy of the morning replaced by the soft glow of the bedside lamp. Gabriel had finally been persuaded to leave my side to find something that didn't taste like hospital cafeteria food, leaving me alone with a book that I couldn't quite focus on.The door pushed open with a soft click. I expected a nurse or perhaps Leo checking the perimeter, but the figure that stepped into the room made my breath hitch in my throat.Emily Hart.She wasn't dressed in her usual corporate armor. She looked softer, wrapped in a long trench coat, her hair pulled back simply. For a long moment, we just stared at each other. The silence was heavy with the weight of years—the biting remarks she had thrown at me, the way she had tried to orchestrate my downfall when Gabriel chose me over the engagement their fathers had planned, and the countless times we had looked at each other with nothing but pure, unadulterated venom."I wasn't su

  • After The Divorce: He Wanted Me Back   Chapter 203

    Isabella The first thing I felt was the heaviness in my chest, like a stack of bricks was pressing down on my lungs. Then, the smell—even through the antiseptic tang of the hospital, the ghostly scent of acrid smoke seemed to cling to the back of my throat.I didn't open my eyes immediately. I just listened.The room was filled with the rhythmic, mechanical beep of a monitor, but beneath it, there was a low rumble of voices. It was a familiar baritone, hushed but vibrating with an intensity that made my heart skip a beat."...I don't care about the press outside, Leo. I want a 24-hour detail on this floor. No one—and I mean no one—gets past that door without my personal clearance. If Lucas so much as breathes in this direction, I want his head.""Understood, Sir. The police have the perimeter, and Marcus is already tracking the guy from the house. We’ll find him."Gabriel.I tried to swallow, but my throat was parched. I forced my eyelids open, the harsh fluorescent lights of the roo

    Isabella The earth had already closed over her by the time the world noticed I was still breathing.That was the strangest part of it all—not the burial itself, not the quiet finality of watching soil fall onto something so small it felt impossible it had ever existed, but the fact that the sun st

    Gabriel Dinner ended the way Thorne dinners always did—polite smiles stretched thin, conversation circling safely around nothing that mattered.Isabella sat across from me, her posture composed but her eyes distant. She laughed at the right moments, nodded when Margaret spoke, but I could feel the

    Isabella A year changes a person.Not in the dramatic way people expect—not in sudden forgiveness or miraculous healing. It changes you in subtler, more dangerous ways. It teaches you what pain can be lived with, what rage can be sharpened, and what parts of yourself must be buried so others can u

    Gabriel The ride back to the mansion was silent. The city lights blurred past the tinted windows, but nothing outside mattered. Nothing could touch what I felt—anger, grief, and a gnawing guilt that settled like lead in my chest.When we pulled into the driveway, I didn’t wait for anyone to greet
