Chasing his billionaire ex wife Chapter 28 : The papers he never signed
Elara did not remember walking away from the hallway. She only remembered the sound of her own heartbeat and Ryan’s words repeating in her head with cruel clarity. We never finalized it. By the time she reached her office, her hands were shaking. She shut the door and leaned against it, trying to breathe through the surge of emotions she did not want to name. Anger came first. Hot. Immediate. Then confusion. Then something worse. Hope. She hated that last one. A soft knock interrupted her thoughts. She knew it was him without asking. “Go away, Ryan.” Silence. Then, gently, “We need to talk.” She closed her eyes. “I don’t want to.” “I know.” Another pause. “But we have to.” She opened the door. He stood there exactly as she expected—calm on the outside, bracing on the inside. She stepped aside to let him in. “You have five minutes,” she said. He didn’t sit. Neither did she. The space between them felt like a courtroom. “You should have told me,” she began. “You should have told me year
Chasing his billionaire ex wife Chapter 27 : The Man she used to love
The lab didn't feel as important as it used to. It was a place people passed through to get to something more important. Something that mattered. Elara noticed the change in herself first. She wasn't watching the monitors closely as she used to. Instead she was watching Ryan. The way he stood near the glass. The way he never left Chloes side. The way he spoke less and observed more like a man trying to understand a language he used to know but had forgotten.Chloe was resting after the morning session, calm and stable. Silas had stepped out to take a call. For the time in days it was just Elara and Ryan in the observation room. The silence wasn't uncomfortable. It was familiar. Ryan broke it. "You don't look at me like you used to " he said. Elara didn't turn around. "I look at whats important " she replied. "I used to be important to you " Ryan said. She inhaled slowly. "That was a time ago."He nodded once accepting what she said. "You say that like I died " he said. Elara turned to

Elara did not go back to the lab the morning.She went to the office instead.Not the small control room that is underground.Not the quiet place with screens and wires and people speakingShe went to the floor of Hamilton Global.It has glass walls and a view of the city.It is a place of power.Silas was already waiting for her when she got out of the elevator.He did not say anything.He just handed her a tablet.She read the headline.It said that Voss Logistics is facing a contract suspension from three partners.She did not blink."Good " she said calmly.Ryan was standing a steps behind her.He was still wearing the shirt he wore yesterday.He looked like a man who did not sleep.He watched her read about his company collapsing.He looked like a person reading about a strangers death.He was not shocked.He was not angry.He just looked empty."Elara..." he started to say.She lifted her hand a little without looking at him.He stopped talking.Silas spoke instead. "Your board
Chasing his billionaire ex wife Chapter 25 : The Trace
The first alert did not come from a person. It came from a pattern.Silas noticed it before anyone else because he had trained himself to notice what did not belong. The lab was quiet in the late afternoon, Chloe sketching absent shapes on a notepad while Elara reviewed old logs from a decade ago. Ryan stood by the glass, phone in hand, pretending to read emails he had already read twice.Silas’s screen blinked once.Then again.A small anomaly in the external network monitor—so small it could be dismissed as noise. Except it wasn’t random. It had rhythm.He leaned closer.“Elara.”She didn’t look up. “Hmm?”“We’ve been pinged.”Her fingers froze on the keyboard.“From where?”“Outside our subnet. Not a breach. A… curiosity.”Ryan turned. “Speak English.”Silas rotated the screen toward them. A faint, repeated handshake attempt appeared on the log. Not aggressive. Not malicious. Just persistent.Like someone knocking gently on a locked door to see if anyone was home.Elara stood slowl
Chasing his billionaire ex wife Chapter 24 : Project Aura
The morning did not bring Elara any relief. It only made things clearer.Elara was alone in the lab. Nobody else was there yet. The screen in front of her was dark. The system behind it was working. She could feel it like an inventor feels the hum of something they made themselves.This feeling was familiar to Elara. She had not felt it in eight years.Then she heard footsteps behind her. Silas came into the lab holding a black tablet. He looked very serious.“Elara " he said quietly "we need to talk before Chloe gets here.”Elara did not turn around. "You found something " she said.Silas said, "Yes.”There was a pause.Then Silas said something that made Elaras chest feel tight.“This is contact " he said.Elara slowly turned to face him.Silas put the tablet on the table. Showed some old files from Hamilton Global. These files were from ten years ago.A name appeared on the screen: PROJECT AURA. Neural Adaptive Learning System.Elara let out a breath.“No " she said softly.Silas n
Chasing his billionaire ex wife Chapter 23 : The Rules Of Contact
The morning was really calm. There were no alarms or people running around. It was just quiet. The sun was shining through the blinds. The machines were humming along quietly. Elara was standing by the window in the observation room watching Chloe sleep in a chair. Chloe had refused to leave that chair. Silas was sitting at a table looking at some logs on a tablet. Ryan was sitting on the floor with his elbows on his knees staring at the ground. He looked like he was trying to understand something that was really hard to understand.Elara spoke up breaking the silence. "We need to make some rules before we do anything."Silas nodded in agreement. "I think that's an idea."Ryan looked up at them. "What kind of rules are we talking about?"Elara said, "Rules for when we talk to them. If we're going to do this we need to be in control. We need to set time limits and make sure we're monitoring everything. We need to have doctors watching too.. We can't just make things up as we go along."
