The digital clock in the corner of Evelyn’s monitor blinked 01:17 AM. The vast expanse of the Starlink Corporation’s office floor was shrouded in an almost eerie silence, the only sounds the low hum of the building’s ventilation system and the soft click of Evelyn’s fingers dancing across the keyboard.

She had spent weeks meticulously familiarizing herself with the network’s hidden pathways, the backdoors and legacy systems that most employees, even those in IT, rarely accessed. It was a digital archaeology of sorts, sifting through layers of data, searching for anomalies, for the cracks in the carefully constructed façade of Starlink Corporation’s impeccable image.

    The digital clock in the corner of Evelyn’s monitor blinked 01:17 AM. The vast expanse of the Starlink Corporation’s office floor was shrouded in an almost eerie silence, the only sounds the low hum of the building’s ventilation system and the soft click of Evelyn’s fingers dancing across the keyboard.

    The heavy glass doors of Starlink Corporation whispered shut behind Evelyn, the sound swallowed by the cavernous, hushed lobby. The early morning light, still weak and watery, cast long, skeletal shadows across the polished marble floor, making the space feel more like a mausoleum than a bustling center of commerce. Usually, this early hour held a sense of quiet anticipation, the calm before the storm of the workday. But today, for Evelyn, it felt heavy with foreboding, each click of her heels an echoing drumbeat of her own turbulent emotions.She moved with a deliberate pace, her usual briskness tempered by a knot of anxiety tightening in her stomach. She hadn’t slept well, the familiar landscape of her dreams invaded once again by the stark image of her father’s face, etched with a mixture of despair and a quiet resignation she now understood all too well. Returning to this building, this monument to the man who had orchestrated her father’s downfall, felt like stepping back into t

    Later that afternoon the shimmering water glistened under the golden hues of sunset, casting reflections across the pristine tiles. Evelyn stood near one of the lounge chairs, arms crossed, her expression unreadable as Sophia walked toward her in a tight silk dress, heels clicking dramatically against the concrete."Glad you came," Sophia said with a saccharine smile, holding two champagne flutes. "Thought it would be rude not to invite Hunter’s ex-wife to hear the big news in person."Evelyn didn’t take the glass. “Let’s not pretend this is anything but a performance.”Sophia’s grin widened. “Hunter and I are getting married.” She extended her left hand, flaunting the oversized diamond ring.Evelyn barely glanced at it. “Congratulations.”Sophia blinked. “That’s all you have to say?”“I’m not interested in your wedding.”Sophia’s jaw twitched. “Come on, Evelyn. You mean to tell me it doesn’t bother you at all? That I have what you lost?”Evelyn raised a brow. “What I lost? Or what yo

    The grand ballroom of the city’s most prestigious hotel pulsed with a vibrant energy, a symphony of clinking champagne flutes, hushed conversations punctuated by bursts of elegant laughter, and the smooth melodies of a live jazz band. Crystal chandeliers cast a warm, shimmering glow across the impeccably dressed guests, a glittering tableau of the city’s elite gathered for the annual charity gala.Evelyn moved through the throng with an effortless grace, a radiant figure who seemed to exist on a different plane of existence than the mere mortals surrounding her. The strapless emerald gown, a masterpiece of understated design, clung to her curves like liquid moonlight, accentuating her every movement. Her dark hair, a cascade of soft, luxurious waves, framed a face of exquisite beauty, her makeup a subtle enhancement that suggested she was the most captivating presence in the room without any conscious effort. Every gaze seemed magnetically drawn to her, a silent acknowledgment of her

    Her eyes were glacial, icy pools reflecting none of the warmth they had once held for him, a stark contrast to the fiery passion that had once burned so brightly between them.“You really need to stop doing this, Hunter,” she said sharply, her voice clipped and devoid of any emotion.“Doing what, Evelyn?” His gaze searched hers, a desperate plea for understanding in his eyes.“Invading my personal space, walking into my life whenever you please, disrupting my workday, acting as if you still have the right to ask for things from me,” she said, her voice rising slightly with each word, the carefully suppressed anger threatening to erupt.Hunter’s jaw tensed, the muscles along his temples flexing. “I didn’t come here to start another fight, Evelyn. I came to apologize. Again.”“And I’ve already told you, repeatedly, that I don’t want your hollow apologies,” she snapped, taking a step closer, her eyes blazing with a contained fury. “You don’t get to treat me like garbage for years, believ

    Evelyn stood at the head of the expansive, polished oak conference table, her presence a quiet storm of authority. Sunlight streamed through the panoramic windows, illuminating the digital screen behind her, which displayed a complex tapestry of projected growth charts and meticulously planned timelines.Across the table sat her five most crucial clients – impeccably dressed, their expressions serious and focused, their time a valuable commodity they were not inclined to squander.“…Therefore, if we implement this multi-platform digital strategy proactively, before the close of Q3, you’re realistically looking at a minimum twelve percent increase in measurable brand visibility within that single quarter,” Evelyn stated, her tone smooth, confident, and underpinned by the unwavering conviction of data-driven certainty. “And that projection, I assure you, is being deliberately conservative.”Mr. Henderson, the lead client, a man whose skepticism was as legendary as his company’s success,

    The next morning, a fragile semblance of routine settled over Vinni’s apartment, but the air remained thick with unspoken emotions. Evelyn sat at the familiar dining table, the chipped ceramic mug warm in her hands, the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee doing little to dispel the lingering shadows beneath her eyes. Her composure was a carefully constructed edifice – the sharp lines of her tailored pants, the pristine simplicity of her white silk blouse, the severe elegance of her sleek bun – a visual declaration of control. Yet, beneath the polished surface, a profound weariness lingered, a dull ache that no amount of caffeine could alleviate.Vinni, ever attuned to the subtle shifts in Evelyn’s demeanor, watched her friend with a quiet concern, her own breakfast croissant momentarily forgotten. “You were up most of the night again, weren’t you, Ev?” she asked gently, her voice a soft murmur in the quiet morning.Evelyn offered a dismissive shrug, her gaze fixed on the swirling p

  • Chasing The Stubborn Ex-Wife   Never again

    Her fingers hovered over the screen, frozen mid-motion, a strange paralysis gripping her. A simple, unassuming text message illuminated the dark screen:"Good night, Evelyn. Sleep well."Her heart twisted painfully, a sharp, unexpected pang of something she couldn’t quite name – a flicker of longing, perhaps, or maybe just a visceral reaction to the unexpected intimacy of his message.Why was he doing this? The silent question echoed in the quiet room. Why now, after everything he had put her through? Did he genuinely believe that a few softly spoken words, delivered via text message in the dead of night, could somehow erase the years of loneliness she had endured during their marriage, the profound betrayal that had shattered her trust, the agonizing sting of his indifference?She pressed her lips into a hard, thin line, a resolute act of self-preservation. She didn’t reply. She couldn’t find the words, the emotional energy completely depleted. Instead, with a deliberate movement, sh

  • Chasing The Stubborn Ex-Wife   How was your forced dinner?

    Evelyn pushed open the door to Vinni’s apartment with a sigh that seemed to carry the weight of the day’s strained interactions, the subtle click of her heels against the worn wooden floors a familiar punctuation mark to her weary arrival. The comforting blend of Vinni’s signature vanilla and soft lavender scent usually offered a small measure of solace, a gentle hug after a long day, but tonight, even that familiar aroma couldn’t penetrate the heavy weight pressing against her chest, a dull ache that mirrored the hollowness within.She still hadn’t taken the plunge, hadn’t severed the last tangible tie to her old life by finding her own place. Part of her knew she should. Financially, she was more than capable now, StarLink’s recent surge of cautious optimism offering a fragile sense of stability. But the prospect of returning to an empty apartment, the suffocating silence of living alone with only her thoughts for company, felt unbearable. Here, amidst Vinni’s cheerful chaos, the
