Lena rubbed her eyes as she packed up her things. It had been a long day at work, but her mind kept drifting to Ayla. It had been a while since they hung out, and she wanted to check in on her friend.

She smiled as she grabbed her phone and dialed Ayla’s number.

The phone rang and rang, but no one picked up.

“That’s weird,” Lena mumbled, biting her lip. She tried again.

This time, someone answered, but the voice on the other end wasn’t Ayla’s.

“This is Kael.” His voice was rough, laced with tension.

Lena frowned, her heart beating faster. “Kael? Where’s Ayla?”

“I... I don’t know,” he admitted, his voice low and broken. “She’s not here. I thought maybe she was with you.”

Lena’s stomach twisted. “She’s not. I... I haven’t seen her today.”

There was silence, and then a shaky breath. “She left a note,” Kael whispered. “I checked her room. It just said... ‘I’m sorry, Kael. I couldn’t take it anymore.’”

Lena’s blood ran cold. She grabbed her bag and rushed out of her office, her hands tremb

  • Chasing After My Ex-Husband    Life Goes On

    The morning light streamed through the curtains, painting the room in soft gold. Lena stirred in bed, blinking slowly as the memories of last night rushed back in. Her chest tightened. The pain wasn’t as painful as before, but it was still there, sitting heavy in her heart.Grayson sat beside her on the edge of the bed, already dressed for work. His hand rested on her belly, his thumb moving in slow, gentle circles."You sure you'll be okay?" he asked, searching her face.Lena forced a small smile. "I’ll be fine. You should go."He didn’t look convinced."I mean it," she added, squeezing his hand. "Don't worry about me. Just focus on work."Grayson sighed, running a hand through his hair. "I just don’t want you stressing yourself.""I won’t," she promised.Still, he hesitated before finally leaning down to kiss her forehead. "I’ll be back early," he murmured. "Call me if you need anything."She nodded, watching as he grabbed his keys and headed for the door. The moment it closed behin

  • Chasing After My Ex-Husband    Emptiness

    Lena’s eyes fluttered open, the harsh hospital lights making her squint. A dull ache sat at the back of her head, her body felt heavy, and for a moment, she struggled to remember where she was.Then it all came rushing back, Ayla, the fire, Kael’s broken voice, the moment everything had shattered.She swallowed hard, her throat dry. As she shifted slightly, she felt warmth against her hand. Turning her head, she found Grayson sitting beside her, his head resting on his arm. His fingers were curled gently around hers, as if afraid to let go.His suit was wrinkled, his tie loose, dark circles beneath his eyes showing just how long he’d been there.She tried to move her fingers, and immediately, he stirred. His eyes blinked open, slightly unfocused, before locking onto her face.“You’re awake,” he breathed, sitting up quickly. Relief washed over his tired features.Lena swallowed, trying to push past the lump in her throat. “How long have I been out?”Grayson reached for a cup of water o

  • Chasing After My Ex-Husband    All Of Our Pain

    HALLWAYLena wiped at her swollen eyes, her face pale and streaked with tears. She hugged herself, her body trembling. Kael, on the other hand, looked like a shadow of himself, hollow, detached, his gaze unfocused as he stared at the ground.His phone buzzed in his pocket.Kael ignored it at first, the vibration barely registering in his fogged mind. But it persisted, relentless. With a tired sigh, he fished the phone out, glancing at the screen. It was his secretary.He almost declined the call, but something in his gut told him not to.“This is Kael,” he answered, voice rough and broken.“Sir,” his secretary’s voice trembled on the other end. “I’m sorry to call you like this... but I thought you should know right away.”Kael rubbed his temple, his head pounding. “What is it?” he muttered, his patience fraying.“It’s your brother,” she said, her voice laced with caution. “He was in a serious accident tonight. A collision. He’s in a coma.”Kael stiffened, the words slamming into him l

  • Chasing After My Ex-Husband    Revenge

    An hour later, Ayla stood in front of the gate of her former house. The place that used to be filled with warmth and laughter now felt like a graveyard. The tall iron gate stood slightly ajar, creaking as the wind pushed against it. The security guards were nowhere in sight, and neither were the maids. The whole place was disturbingly quiet, like even the walls were holding their breath.The strong stench of petrol clung to the air, burning Ayla’s nose. She smirked, her fingers tightening around the black gun in her hand. The guys she paid had done their job perfectly. She could almost hear their rough voices in her head, promising her that the house would be soaked in fuel, ready to burn.Her heart pounded as she took a step inside. The once-beautiful garden was now overgrown, weeds swallowing the flowers her mother used to plant. Her chest tightened, but she shoved the pain away. There was no room for sorrow tonight, only justice.Ayla pulled out the lighter she had taken from Kael’

  • Chasing After My Ex-Husband    In Motion

    EVENING: AYLA'S ROOMAyla sat cross-legged on her bed, her fingers trembling as she gripped her phone, her entire focus was on the screen in front of her.The chat with her father's lawyer stared back at her, the words feeling heavier than they should.Lawyer: "The documents are ready. I’ve sent the link for you to sign electronically. Once you do, the merger will be set in motion, but we can delay the public announcement until you give the green light."Her chest tightened as she reread the message. Her thumb hovered over the link, her heart pounding so loud she could hear it echo in her ears. She felt like she was balancing on a razor’s edge, caught between guilt and determination.This was what she wanted, what she needed. The merger would ensure her father’s legacy didn’t crumble, and it would secure Kael’s empire, tying them together in ways he didn’t even know about yet. It was her silent way of repaying him for helping her, even if he never found out.But this was also a betray
