ANTHONY’S POV

By the third day, I was losing my patience.

No sign of Elisha. No word from her either.

No sign of that damn dog either.

I paced the living room, then the kitchen, then the hallway like a caged animal. The house was too quiet. Too hollow. It felt like someone had pulled out all the furniture, even though everything was exactly where it should be.

What the hell was she doing?

Throwing a tantrum over a dog? Seriously?

She had something bigger than a mutt. She had me. A Möller.

  • Dear CEO, I Want a Divorce   Chapter 346

    NATALIE’S POVWhen the call ended, I stared at Anthony’s phone for a second too long.The screen had gone dark in my hand, but I could still hear her voice in my head.I wanted to ask if you would come to my wedding.I swallowed and handed the phone back to Anthony.He was standing near the conference room window, sleeves rolled up, tie loosened.“Well?” he asked quietly.I laughed once, helplessly. “She invited me.”His face softened in this infuriatingly sincere way he had whenever Ostara was involved.“Yeah,” he said. “She did.”I looked down, fiddling with my ring as if that would somehow steady the absurd lump in my throat.“She really wants me there?”Anthony gave me a look. “Nat, she’s not exactly easy to force.”That made me laugh again, this time a little more like myself. No one said anything for a moment.Then I straightened and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear because crying over a wedding invitation in front of Anthony Möller felt like a new low, even for me.“I’m no

    OSTARA’S POVWhen Anthony finally told me the full plan, I forgot how to breathe for a second.I was in my office at Harvest Bloom, one hand still resting on a stack of packaging drafts, the late afternoon light slanting across the glass wall behind me. His voice came through the phone steady and certain, as if what he was describing was not completely insane.“What?” I asked. Anthony gave a low laugh from the other end. “Yeah. That was more or less my internal reaction, too.”“Is that even possible?”“I’ll make sure it happens,” he said. His tone shifted there, went flatter, more dangerous. “I do not want this sword hanging over my family forever. They deserve to lose everything after the way they treated you once they found out Natalie was alive.”I sank slowly into my chair.Outside the office, the lab moved on as usual. Trays sliding across counters. Lucy’s heels clicking down the hallway. Davina laughing at something. It all felt bizarrely normal while Anthony talked about dism

  • Dear CEO, I Want a Divorce   Chapter 344

    ANTHONY’S POVThe boardroom at the Montgomery Hospitals & Clinics head office smelled like polished wood, expensive coffee, and denial.Natalie sat at the far end of the table, spine straight, chin slightly lifted, hands folded over the folder in front of her. Valentin was beside her, one hand resting near his glass of water, expression unreadable. I sat across from them with my legal team flanking me. Robert sat two seats down, fully composed. Then the Montgomerys walked in.Mrs. Montgomery paused in the doorway first, eyes darting across the table until they landed on Natalie. The expression on her face went through shock, indignation, grief, anger, and finally something sharp and cold.Mr. Montgomery recovered faster, which didn’t surprise me at all. “This is absurd,” he said before he had even taken his seat. “We were told this was a governance discussion, not an ambush.”“It is a governance discussion,” Natalie said calmly. “Your discomfort… is incidental.”I almost smiled. S

  • Dear CEO, I Want a Divorce   Chapter 343

    OSTARA’S POVWith Anthony in New York, Harvest Bloom felt different. He had settled into the place so naturally that his absence was felt now. I noticed it in stupid little ways. The untouched mug that unofficially belonged to him. The chair in the conference room that looked too neat without him slouched into it. The fact that no one was sweeping into my office to kiss my temple and drop a market insight into my lap before vanishing again.I missed him.Which was inconvenient, because work had decided this was the perfect week to become aggressive.Elijah and Davina had taken point on the Asia expansion while Anthony was gone. Lucy was running between calls, supplier follow-ups, wedding folders, and my calendar with the kind of efficiency that made me wonder how I had ever managed life without her.By noon, the office had become a moving machine of samples, calls, and overlapping conversations. I went downstairs to the conference room where Davina and Elijah were waiting with a gue

  • Dear CEO, I Want a Divorce   Chapter 342

    OSTARA’S POVThe place Elijah chose was small, private, and almost ordinary.A quiet townhouse café tucked into a side street in Notting Hill, closed to the public for the afternoon because Elijah had rented the back room entirely. It was perfect.Or at least, it was as close to perfect as you could get when arranging for a little girl to meet the mother she thought was dead.Penny sat on the sofa beside me, both hands wrapped around a mug of hot chocolate she hadn’t touched.She was dressed neatly, as always. Navy cardigan, white blouse, her blonde hair brushed smooth. Only I could feel the tension in her small body.Elijah stood by the window, pretending to look outside while actually checking the garden gate every three seconds. Every time a car passed, his shoulders tightened.“She’ll be here,” I said softly.He glanced back at us. “I know.”“You’re wearing a hole in the floor.”“That’s fine,” he said. “I paid for the room.”That made Penny smile faintly. It was tiny, but it loo

  • Dear CEO, I Want a Divorce   Chapter 341

    ANTHONY’S POVI hated leaving.Ostara stood beside me in the quiet waiting lounge, one hand around a coffee she’d barely touched, the other tucked under her elbow. She had that look on her face again — composed on the surface, annoyed underneath.Not angry. Just very clearly unhappy with the arrangement.“I promise,” I said, adjusting the cuff of my coat because if I looked at her for too long, I might tell the pilot to cancel the whole thing and go home. “I’ll tell you everything in two days.”Her eyes lifted to mine.“You already said that,” she replied.“I know.”“I still hate it.”I smiled despite myself. “I know that too.”She exhaled and looked away toward the runway. London was still damp and grey outside, the sky hanging low like it disapproved.“I don’t like not knowing what’s happening,” she said after a moment.“That,” I said gently, “has been noted.”She turned back to me with a dry look. “Oh, has it?”“Extensively.”That almost got a smile out of her.Almost.I stepped cl

    ELISHA’S POV“And what, Natalie has done nothing?” I said, standing as straight as I could, though my knees were trembling. “It takes two to make a scene, you know.”The words felt foreign in my mouth—sharp, defiant, unfamiliar. I had never spoken to my father this way before. Hell, I had never spo

    ELISHA’S POVAnthony caught my hand in a death grip and tugged me closer. “Let go,” I said quietly, trying to pry his fingers loose.He didn’t. This time, he yanked me forward, hard enough that I stumbled straight into him.My hands hit his chest, my breath caught.The sudden closeness made my sto

    ELISHA’S POVAfter we’d wrapped up the lecture, handed out snacks, and helped clean up the folding chairs, Davina led me into a small room tucked behind the community center’s multipurpose hall.It wasn’t anything grand—just a rectangular room with plastic chairs set in rows and a collapsible table

    ELISHA’S POVAfter dinner, I drove myself home, showered, and changed into soft clothes. I fed Bubblegum, who was more interested in chasing his toy mouse around the living room than in eating. I lay on the rug and played with her for a while, tossing his toy across the floor and watching her pounc
