Chasing his billionaire ex wife Chapter 32 : What You Choose to Protect
The change happened away. Security outside the lab got a lot stronger. Access logs got more restricted. Only people who really needed to be there could go near Lab C. Rumors were still floating around. Now they hit a wall instead of open doors. Elara noticed that people were talking to her differently. They were more careful. More respectful. A little afraid. Ryan noticed something “You’re standing up straighter " he told her quietly. She hadn’t realized it.. She was standing up straighter. Because she wasn’t scared of being discovered. She was ready. Chloe felt it too. “You’re not worried anymore " she said one afternoon. Elara smiled a little. "I’m worried. I’m just not hiding anymore.” Chloe seemed okay with that. During the session something unexpected happened. Chloe didn’t ask questions. They did. Her expression changed as she listened. Elara leaned forward. "What are they asking?” Chloe spoke slowly. "They want to know why humans separate from e
Chasing his billionaire ex wife Chapter 31 : Lines you Don’t Cross
Elara started to notice looks.They weren't obvious or confrontational. They were there.Two researchers stopped talking when she walked into the hallway. A nurse who usually smiled at her became formal all of a sudden. Silas watched her for a moment before saying, "Something’s changing outside this room.”Elara knew what he meant. News didn’t have to spread for people to get curious. They sensed patterns. Ryan visited her every day. Chloe was getting better. There was security around the lab. They had late-night sessions.Patterns made people ask questions.That afternoon the administration asked for a meeting.Not about Chloe’s health.About "project activity.”Elara sat at the conference table with Ryan and Silas. Across from them were three board members and the facility director.“Dr. Vale," the director started carefully "we’ve seen equipment usage and extended access hours. We need to know what’s going on.”Elara spoke calmly. "Medical monitoring for my daughter.”One board mem
Chasing his billionaire ex wife Chapter 30 : The Choice No One Can Make For You
The envelope with the divorce papers was on Elaras desk for three days. Ryan did not say a word about it. He did not ask her anything.. Elara knew he was aware it was there. She could feel the tension between them. On the day Elara got to her desk early and opened the envelope by herself. The papers inside did not have a signature. They looked like papers.. Elara knew they meant a lot. They represented all the pain and sadness and misunderstanding and love that Elara and Ryan had gone through. Elara looked at the line where she was supposed to sign for a time. Then she folded the papers. Put them back in her drawer. She did not sign them. She did not tear them up. She just put them away.That day Chloe was doing well. Her health was stable. She was in a mood. She even laughed at something Ryan said. Then she looked at Elara. Said, "You seem lighter." Elara was surprised. "What do you mean?" she asked. Chloe just shrugged. "You do not feel heavy when Ryan is around " she said. Ryan loo
Chasing his billionaire ex wife Chapter 29 : What Staying looks like
Elara woke up before her alarm went off. She felt something in her chest but she did not know what it was at first. Then she remembered what Ryan said the night. He said he was in love. She sat up slowly. Looked at the morning light coming through the blinds. Her first thought was to try to understand what he said. She wanted to think about it in a way that would not hurt her.. She could not help how she felt.She got ready for work paying attention to what she was doing. She was tying her hair when she thought of a question. If Ryan had been the person back then would she have stayed with him? The answer came to her quickly. Yes she would have stayed. This scared her.When she got to the lab Ryan was already there with Chloe. They were putting sensor cards on a tray. He looked up when Elara came in and his face changed when he saw her. This made her feel something in her stomach that she did not like. She also missed it. " Morning " he said. " Morning " she replied, trying to sound c
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
