ELISHA’S POV

The hospital was quiet. A hum behind the fluorescent lights. A dragging silence in the hallways. Ethan sat beside me in the waiting room, tapping his thumb restlessly on the arm of the chair, watching me every now and then as if trying to read my mind.

I hadn’t said a word since the nurse handed me the file.

We’d been up all night. After sneaking out of the Möller estate, I was wired—heart pounding, breath erratic, limbs too alert to rest. Ethan and I ended up parked outside a late-night smoothie bar, sitting in his car like teenagers. Talking about everything. Or avoiding everything. I couldn’t quite tell. The air between us was thick with unspoken things.

I was halfway through my berry smoothie when the pain struck.

A sharp pull at the base of my spine, wrapping like a fist around my lower back. I had almost doubled over right there in the passenger seat. Ethan's face turned ghost-white as he reached over to steady me.

“Breathe, Elisha. You’re okay. Just breathe. I’m ta

Wtf?! He’s nuts! They should’ve hidden and called the police and said he’s holding Davina! This can’t stand.

  • Dear CEO, I Want a Divorce   Chapter 133

    OSTARA’S POVThe beautiful villa in Lake Como had become my prison.I could walk from one end to the other in under a minute now without looking at anything—no lingering on the terracotta tiles, no glance at the lake through the French doors, no pause at the windows when the sunlight painted the water gold.Because every time I stopped, I imagined him.Anthony.Somewhere beyond the walls. In a car. In a café. On a bench. Watching me with a pair of binoculars probably only the CIA had access to. The guards around the villa said he hadn’t come by or been anywhere around. That did nothing to calm my nerves. How did it all unravel so quickly?The day Donna was born, I’d promised her safety. I’d promised myself she’d never know what it was like to be afraid the way I had been. Now, I couldn’t even bring myself to stand in my own garden with her.She didn’t understand, of course.“Mama!” she shouted from somewhere downstairs, her voice bright and eager. “Let’s goooo, I want to find that

  • Dear CEO, I Want a Divorce   Chapter 132

    BETHANY’S POVSundays in Lake Como felt like they were designed for me.The air was clearer, the light softer, the water always calm enough to catch its own reflection. It was the kind of place where you could breathe without thinking about it—where the biggest worry was making sure the kids didn’t eat too much sugar before noon.We’d packed a picnic that morning. Well, technically, the chef had packed it. I’d just loaded the wicker baskets into the car while Donna and Penny debated which stuffed animals would join us. We drove down to the lakeside park, the kind with endless patches of soft grass and winding paths dotted with flowering trees.The girls tumbled out of the car before I could unbuckle my seatbelt. Donna darted toward a group of Labradors playing fetch, and Penny followed, her little sundress billowing behind her.I spread out the blanket in a spot with a perfect view of the water, close enough to the main path to people-watch but far enough to feel tucked away. The chef

  • Dear CEO, I Want a Divorce   Chapter 131

    OSTARA’S POVI didn’t breathe until I’d reached the far side of the deck. The music was too loud, the chatter a blur, but none of it dulled the feeling of his eyes on my back.I kept moving. One step. Another.“Ostara—” Cameron’s voice came from behind me, low but concerned. “What happened? You look—”Before he could finish, a voice cut through the noise.“Elisha!?”I froze.It wasn’t shouted… it was sharp. Certain. It hit my spine like a strike.I forced myself not to turn. Turning would mean confirming I was, in fact, Elisha. But that didn’t matter, because I could already feel Anthony walking towards us. Before I knew it, he was next to Cameron, looking at me with a mix of relief and confusion. “Elisha!” he exclaimed. It was no longer a question. Cameron stepped slightly in front of me, confused. “Elisha? No, that’s not her—”“Don’t,” I cut in, quickly, quietly.If Cameron said my name—my real name—it would be worse. Far worse.Anthony had no reason to connect Ostara Beaumont wi

  • Dear CEO, I Want a Divorce   Chapter 130

    OSTARA’S POVIt was almost embarrassing how hard I crashed after the party.One minute, the villa had been a glittering carousel of laughter, ribbons, running feet, and over-sweet frosting—and the next, it was a soft, slow-motion blur of clinking glasses, half-deflated balloons, and quiet jazz from the speakers in the corners.The sun had dipped below the hills. Staff moved gently around us, collecting plates, wrapping up decorations, sweeping glitter from the stone floors.Donna, still very much in post-cake hysteria, ran shrieking through the hallway with Penny behind her, the two of them wearing matching sparkly headbands and plastic clip-on earrings. Their screams echoed faintly, like a fading celebration that hadn’t quite finished yet.I stood by the living room doorway, wine in hand, watching everyone wind down.Robert had a glass of whiskey and one foot propped up on the ottoman, already dozing with his head back and his mouth slightly open. My dad was locked in some philosophi

  • Dear CEO, I Want a Divorce   Chapter 129

    OSTARA’S POVWhat a ridiculous, embarrassing, delusional thing to do.I lay in bed, staring at the ceiling, refusing to even blink. My sheets were tangled around my legs, the room stuffy with leftover heat from the day. Every wall felt like it was pressing in on me. Judging. Mocking. Whispering, you kissed him?God.Not even kissed him. Tried to.He didn’t even flinch violently. That would’ve been less humiliating. No—he’d leaned back slowly, like I was a slow car crash he saw coming and had the decency to dodge with grace.Joseph. He said I reminded him of his mentor. His mentor.“Ex-lover” would have been better. I turned over and buried my face into the pillow.Of all the things I could’ve misread, I had to choose the one man in Italy who saw me like a principled ghost from his past.Idiot.I barely moved all night. Just kept flipping over every five minutes like some sad, haunted pancake of regret.And then—because the universe has a sharp sense of humor—Davina flung my curtain

  • Dear CEO, I Want a Divorce   Chapter 128

    OSTARA’S POVSunday evening rolled in quiet and gold, the lake reflecting streaks of light that looked like they were being drawn out by hand. The villa smelled like rosemary and baked bread. Donna had been playing in the sun most of the afternoon and was now inside, doing her best to choose which earrings Davina should wear for dinner.It had been a good week. Uneventful. Unpressured. Peter hadn’t shown up once.That should’ve been a relief. Instead, I found myself checking my phone more often than I wanted to admit. Replaying the last conversation in my head like a loop that wouldn’t quiet down. His restraint had left space, and that space—unexpectedly—had made me curious.So I sent a message. Short and clear.Dinner? Just us girls and one brave man. 7:30. Casual.He replied with a single thumbs-up emoji and nothing else. I didn’t know why that irritated me.But he showed up exactly on time.Peter arrived in a navy open-collar shirt and slacks, no tie, holding a bouquet of small w
