Leo’s pov

“Daddy, you’re burning it again.” Sophia said.

I looked down at the pan. The pancake was definitely too dark.

I sighed while Sophia giggled from her seat on the kitchen counter.

“It’s called extra flavor.”

“It’s called burnt.”

I pointed the spatula at her. “You’re disrespectful.”

She laughed harder.

A few months ago, hearing her laugh like this would’ve felt normal. But now, it felt like something I almost lost forever.

I flipped the pancake onto a plate anyway before grabbing another

    Kiara’s pov“Okay mummy, stand there.”I blinked at Sophia from across the snowy pathway.“Why?”“Because the lighting is pretty.”I narrowed my eyes immediately.“The lighting?”“Yes.”“You’re eight.”“And?”I folded my arms suspiciously while she dramatically adjusted the phone in her tiny hands.Something was very weird with both her and Leo today.Since morning, Sophia had been taking random pictures and videos of me like some tiny documentary filmmaker.At breakfast. At the café. Outside the bookstore. Even while I was literally asleep.“Mummy smile naturally,” she ordered again.“I am smiling naturally.”“No you’re smiling like Daddy forgot your birthday.”I gasped. “Sophia!”She burst into laughter while Leo chuckled quietly behind me.I turned immediately. “Aha!”Leo raised one brow innocently.“What?”“You’re encouraging her.”“I support artistic freedom.”“She’s harassing me.”Sophia pointed the phone toward us quickly.“Oooo good moment. Stay there.”I stared at them both.

I didn't need to. I knew Kiara’s presence before I even looked at her now.“You’re both awake early,” she murmured sleepily.I turned slightly. She was standing there with her messy hair and of course, my hoodie. She loves wearing my clothes.Her beauty was enough to completely wreck my concentration.Sophia grinned immediately.“Mom, Daddy is committing crimes against pancakes again.”Kiara laughed softly under her

  • Chasing back my ex-wife   Chapter 188

    Kiara’s POVThe first flowers arrived the morning after Leo left.A bouquet of white roses and a small card tucked between the stems. I'm still here kia.I stared at it for a full minute before placing it on the table and pretending it didn't affect me.It shouldn't have. After everything that happened, flowers weren't supposed to matter.The second flowers arrived the following morning.Soft pink peonies.Same words. Same handwriting.I rolled my eyes so hard the hotel room service provider laughed when she handed it over to me.By the third day, the flowers started irritating me. Not because they weren't beautiful, but because I don't want reminders.I stared at the card again before dropping it onto the hotel table with a frustrated sigh.When I went down to look around and receive fresh air, the hotel receptionist called me and handed me a package.“I was asked to give this to you. It came in just a few minutes ago and I was about to send it to your room. I took the bag reluctantl

    Leo’s pov“How did you find me?” Kiara’s voice came out quiet.I stood there looking at her while snow drifted softly behind me through the hallway windows.She looked exhausted.Her hair was loosely tied back, her makeup gone, one of my hoodies hanging slightly off her shoulder.And despite everything, she was still the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.“I made some inquiries,” I admitted honestly.A humorless laugh escaped her immediately. “Of course you did.”“I needed to see you.”She looked away quickly after that, like looking at me hurt must. That realization sat heavily in my chest.She stepped aside silently, letting me enter.The room smelled faintly like coffee and her perfume.The door clicked shut behind me, and for a few seconds neither of us spoke.She stayed near the balcony while I remained by the entrance like maybe I didn’t deserve to come any closer.Maybe I didn’t.Finally, she crossed her arms tightly over herself and asked quietly— “Why are you here, Leo?”I

    Kiara’s povThe hotel suite was beautiful. Too beautiful, actually. Everything looked perfect—the cream-colored furniture, the soft lighting, the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city.But it didn't feel like home.I stood by the window with a cup of coffee in my hands, watching people move along the streets below. Cars passed quietly. A light layer of snow covered the rooftops.Life was moving on outside, while mine felt like it had been paused for days now.My phone buzzed softly on the table behind me.Another message from Leo.Leo: Please answer me.I stared at it for a few seconds before flipping the phone facedown again.I couldn’t do this right now. Because every time I saw his name, my chest tightened in a horrible way.And the worst part is that I still missed him.Gosh…I hated that.I hated that after everything, some part of me still wanted to hear his voice.Still wanted him near me.Still loved him enough for this to hurt the way it did.But maybe that was the pro

    Leo’s povThe sound of the door slamming echoed through the house long after Kiara left. I stood there without moving.Just staring at the entrance like somehow she would walk back in if I waited long enough.She didn’t. The silence felt empty now.I dragged a hand down my face slowly before looking at the phone still sitting on the kitchen counter.Those pictures... Jesus Christ.I grabbed the phone suddenly and hurled it across the room. It slammed against the wall hard enough to shatter.The real damage had already been done.I shut my eyes tightly. What the hell did I do?I heard the door upstairs crack open. I looked up immediately. Sophia stood near the staircase in pink pajamas, clutching the railing with sleepy eyes.But the second she looked at me properly her face changed.“Daddy?”My chest tightened instantly. I straightened quickly, forcing my expression to relax.“Hey, princess.”She looked toward the front door.“Where’s Mommy?”The question alone almost destroyed me. I

    Kiara’s POV“I’ll book a three-day vacation for us,” Alex said, his voice calm but firm. “Somewhere quiet and beautiful. Just to get you away from all this drama so you can rest.”I looked up at him, surprised. “Alex, you don’t have to.”“No, Kiara,” he cut in gently, stepping closer. “Don’t say t

    Kiara’s POVI had to keep Sophia at home for a while.Not because she was sick, not because of school holidays, but because of Leo that's always coming to see her. She curled up on the rug with her legs crossed, eyes glued to the television as her favorite cartoon played. She laughed softly at som

    Leo’s POVI was in the middle of a call with Mark, pacing my living room, my tie already loosened, jacket tossed carelessly on the arm of the couch. He was talking about some investment opportunities back in Canada, something about expansion and partnerships, but my mind wasn’t fully there.“So yo
