Claimed By My Ex’s Rival Chapter 44
ELYRA.After Radiel left the studio, I tried to focus on work.His presence had completely thrown off my mood. The moment he walked out of the office earlier, the room had gone quiet again—but the strange tension he left behind hadn’t gone away.I sat at my desk and stared down at my design pad. The blank page stared back at me.Usually, ideas came quickly once I picked up a pencil. My mind would already be full of shapes, textures, and silhouettes waiting to be drawn.But now, I could do nothing. I tapped the pencil lightly against the paper. Still nothing.I let out a frustrated sigh and leaned back in my chair.“Great,” I muttered.My thoughts drifted back to the earlier moment. The way he had suddenly grabbed my chin. The ridiculous things he had said before leaving.My cheeks warmed again in irritation.“So arrogant,” I grumbled under my breath.It was his fault my concentration was gone. I glared down at the empty page as if it had personally offended me.After another ten minut

RADIEL.When I drove over to Elyra’s office earlier, I hadn’t actually planned to do anything serious. At most, I thought I might tease her a little.Watching her get annoyed had become strangely entertaining lately. The way her eyes narrowed, the stubborn tilt of her chin whenever she thought someone was underestimating her—it was amusing.But when I saw her sitting there behind her desk, looking up at me with that same defiant expression…Something inside me shifted. It wasn’t something I had expected.For a moment, I felt the sudden urge to conquer her.The thought came so quickly and so strongly that it surprised even me.Her eyes had that spark in them again, the same one she always had when she refused to back down. Most people would feel intimidated when facing me.Elyra didn’t. She pushed back. And for some reason, that only made me want to push harder.I let out a quiet breath as I leaned back in the driver’s seat, remembering the moment.If I had acted purely on impulse back

ELYRA.When everything first happened—the leaks, the vandalism, the chaos online—I had thought it would destroy my reputation completely. I imagined clients backing out, people questioning my credibility, and months of work going down the drain.But life had a strange way of surprising you.If I was being honest, the whole situation had taught me something important.Not all publicity was bad.In fact, the scandal had done something I never expected—it pushed my name everywhere.People became curious.They searched for my page. They visited my website. They talked about my designs. The drama around the leak made people want to see what the fuss was about.Within days, my account traffic doubled.Within a week, it tripled.And somehow—almost unbelievably—I ended up breaking into the top three trending designers in the country.I still remembered staring at the numbers on my screen that day, wondering if it was some kind of mistake.But it wasn’t.Enquiries skyrocketed. Orders poured in

ELYRA.Even hours later, the anger I felt sat inside my chest like a burning coal that refused to cool down. Every time I thought about those stolen designs, about the broken instruments in my studio, about my work being thrown across the internet like cheap gossip, my hands clenched automatically.I paced slowly around my living room, phone in hand.“This is unbelievable,” I muttered under my breath.The whole situation still felt unreal.One moment I had been planning my next big move—thinking about profits, expansion, future clients. The next moment everything had been thrown into chaos.My phone buzzed.I looked down at the screen.My assistant again.I sighed before answering the call.Before she could even say anything, frustration slipped out from my lips.“I swear, I'm so pissed right now—so much that I feel too weak to even leave my house,” I began, speaking swiftly. “Those designs took weeks of work. Weeks. And now people are just posting them like they own them.”I rubbed m

RADIEL.I stood by the tall window of my London hotel room, staring out at the gray sky that seemed to stretch forever. The clouds hung low, heavy and dull, as if the sun had simply given up trying to shine here.Rain tapped softly against the glass.“Perfect,” I muttered dryly.Of all the cities in the world, London had to be the one place where the sky constantly looked like it was in a bad mood.I shoved my hands into the pockets of my trousers and turned away from the window. The room behind me was warm and polished, expensive in that quiet way luxury hotels often were. Soft carpets, neat furniture, the faint smell of coffee drifting from the small table near the couch.But the weather outside still managed to ruin the atmosphere.I sighed.Unfortunately, I still had a few more days to spend here before I could return home. A few years ago, that wouldn’t have bothered me in the slightest. In fact, the old me would have turned this trip into a small vacation.London had no shortage

ELYRA.For the first time in weeks, I woke up the next morning without an alarm dragging me out of sleep. There was no rushing, no calls, no deadlines hanging over my head like a storm cloud. Everything felt just quiet.I stretched lazily on my bed, staring up at the ceiling with a small smile. The mini display I had worked so hard on was finally done. It had taken everything in me—long nights, aching hands, skipped meals—but it was worth it.Today, I wanted to give myself a break. Just one day.“One day won’t kill you,” I muttered to myself, rolling onto my side. “You deserve it.”Still, even as I tried to relax, my mind refused to completely shut down. It kept drifting back to the deals tied to those designs. They were really big deals—the kind that didn’t just pay bills but changed lives.I let out a soft laugh, hugging my pillow tighter.If everything went as planned, my revenue would hit numbers I had only dreamed about. Numbers I used to write down as wild goals, never quite bel
