Dear Ex, I'm More Than Your Plan B Chapter 116
Dorian turned, setting the glass of strawberry milk on the counter without a word. His jaw was tight, but he didn’t speak.“Because… sometimes adults make choices they regret,” Vera said softly. “And sometimes, they don’t know how to fix it.”Eira sipped her milk, kicking her legs. “So Uncle Dorian is not my daddy, right?”Vera smiled sadly. “No, sweetheart. He’s not.”“But he does everything like a daddy.”Dorian chuckled then, finally breaking the silence. “That’s because you’re the boss of this house. You get away with everything.”“Almost everything,” Vera teased gently.Eira grinned and leaned her head against Vera’s arm. “Can I ask one more thing?”Vera hesitated. “Of course.”“Can I call Uncle Dorian… Daddy Dorian?”Vera blinked. “Eira...”“Only when I want to, not always,” Eira said quickly. “He’s like my pretend daddy, right? So I can call him that when we’re playing house or when I’m scared. Please?”Dorian looked at Vera, waiting.Vera’s throat was dry, her emotions knottin

Camilla always had that talent, taking whatever small flicker of humanity he clung to and stomping it out with her heel.“You forget who gave you this life,” she said, voice growing smug. “My father’s name still keeps your pathetic career afloat. Or should I call your boss and let him know you’re sniffing around your ex like a starved dog?”Lucas clenched his jaw. “That’s not what this is about.”“No? Then what is it? You feeling guilty now that she’s thriving and you’re stuck with me? Boo hoo, Lucas. Grow up.”He slammed his hand against the steering wheel, teeth bared. “She has a kid, Camilla! A kid! What if the Donovans find out? You know what that could mean, what they might do to save face. We both know they buried her once, they could do it again.”There was a long silence. Then Camilla chuckled, low and venomous. “You think they don’t already know? Please. They probably planned it.”Lucas blinked. “What?”“She was never supposed to last,” Camilla said, voice ice. “That was the

The afternoon sun streamed down in soft golden waves as Vera held Eira’s small hand in hers, their fingers entwined tightly. Beside her, Dorian strolled with a calm ease, his suit jacket slung casually over one shoulder as they made their way down the sidewalk toward the garden themed restaurant Eira had been raving about since last week.The place was known for its open air seating, fairy light canopies, and colorful macarons.“Are you sure this is the one?” Dorian asked, arching a brow as Eira skipped ahead excitedly.“Yes! It’s the one with the pink lemonade and the rainbow chairs,” she chirped. “Mama said we could come here after school. And Uncle Dorian, you promised macarons.”“I always keep my promises,” Dorian replied with a faint chuckle, earning a grin from Vera.“Except when she asks for a unicorn,” Vera teased.Eira giggled. “That’s because he’s still looking for the right one!”Vera couldn’t help but laugh.It felt good to laugh like this again, to feel this light, even i

The city skyline reflected in the tall glass panes of the Fontaine Gaming Technologies tower, a sleek building nestled in the heart of the capital's business district.Inside its polished interiors, Vera’s heels clicked softly against the marble as she entered the lobby.It was a quiet morning, yet the air buzzed with that usual undercurrent of purpose that came with a tech empire on the rise.She adjusted the strap of her handbag and walked past the reception desk.The staff greeted her with smiles and polite nods, not just out of courtesy, but with genuine respect.She was no longer just a young woman trying to survive; she was Vera Sterling, co founder and creative head of one of the fastest growing gaming development studios in the country.And most of that… was thanks to Dorian Fontaine.But what Vera didn’t know, what no one had told her, was that the roots of her company’s success went far deeper than even Dorian.At the top floor, the doors of the executive lounge opened to re

The morning sun filtered through the car windows, painting golden streaks across Vera’s face as she adjusted the strap of Eira’s tiny backpack from the driver’s seat.The soft hum of the engine played under the occasional sniffle from the back.Eira sat unusually quiet in her car seat, her normally bubbly presence subdued as she picked at the little pink bow on her school uniform.Her curls were tied up neatly, and her glittery lunchbox rested beside her, but there was no brightness in her eyes this morning.Vera’s heart clenched.She glanced at her daughter through the rearview mirror. “You okay, sweetheart?”Eira didn’t answer at first. She just kept playing with the bow, lips pursed, brow furrowed.Her small body was curled inward, a defensive shell Vera recognized all too well.The silence wasn’t unfamiliar, but it had been a while since it had hung this heavy between them.“I saw you didn’t finish your toast,” Vera tried again, her voice soft. “Was it the jam again? I can switch
Dear Ex, I'm More Than Your Plan B Chapter 111
Asher Donovan had always drawn attention, whether he wanted to or not.But today, no one noticed the man beneath the designer clothes.Even in his tailored suit, with the clean cut of a luxury coat draped over his shoulders and a wristwatch worth a small fortune strapped to his wrist, there was something missing.Something hollow behind the sharp lines of his face, in the way his shoulders sagged just slightly under invisible weight.His once neatly styled hair was slightly overgrown, dark strands falling loosely across his forehead.The shadow of a beard clung to his jaw, not quite the refined scruff he used to sport, no, this was the kind of neglect that whispered of long nights without sleep, of mornings where he no longer cared to look in the mirror.He walked beside Sarah Langford through one of Manhattan’s most exclusive shopping districts, but to say he was walking with her was generous.He didn’t hold her hand.He didn’t look at her.He didn’t say a word unless prompted.Sarah

As he stood to leave, the sound of Vera’s voice from the hallway made him pause.“Is she asleep?”Dorian turned and nodded. “Just drifted off.”“She told me earlier you promised to help her build a castle in the sky next,” Vera said softly, stepping inside. Her voice held warmth, and a subtle smile played on her lips.“She’s got high expectations,” Dorian said.“She’s got you,” Vera murmured, her eyes meeting his in the low light.Neither spoke for a long beat.Finally, Dorian said, “She’s lucky. So am I.”Vera looked down at Eira’s sleeping form, her small hand curled beside her cheek. “Sometimes I wonder if she’ll hate me when she finds out... about her father. About why he wasn’t here.”Dorian stepped closer, his voice low. “She won’t. Because she’ll have the truth. And because she has you.”“And you,” Vera said before she could stop herself.The silence that followed wasn’t awkward...Vera reached down and brushed a strand of hair from Eira’s forehead. “Thank you… for being there

Vera chuckled under her breath and turned back around, her smile fading just slightly as she looked out the window.Eira didn’t have a father.Not in the real sense.And while Vera had poured every ounce of love she had into her daughter, there were still moments like this, moments of longing, connection, and quiet gaps Eira tried to fill with laughter and daydreams.“She’s invited us for dinner next weekend,” Dorian said casually. “I didn’t mention it earlier because I wasn’t sure how tired you’d be.”Vera blinked, looking at him. “Us?”He nodded. “You, Eira, me. Estelle. She even said she’d bake her lemon tarts.”“Lemon tarts!” Eira squealed.Vera hesitated, her gaze flicking to the window again. “Dorian... I..”“You don’t have to decide now,” he said, his voice low and understanding. “Just think about it.”Eira, of course, had already made up her mind.“We’re going!” she declared with the certainty only a child could wield.Dorian grinned. “Then I guess it’s settled.”As they pulle

Vera sculpted towers with the bucket molds while Dorian carefully shaped connecting walls between them. Eira ran back and forth between the edge of the sandbox and her “supplies” bag, dragging over random items she insisted were magical components, a feather, a leaf, a shiny bottle cap.“Here, Mama! This is the unicorn gem!” she declared, plopping the bottle cap on top of one turret.Vera grinned. “Oh, absolutely. It radiates pure magic.”They worked together, heads bowed, fingers caked in sand, and laughter ringing around them like the melody of a perfect afternoon.When the castle was complete, with a moat dug by Dorian and a mini flag crafted by Eira from a twig and a gum wrapper, they all sat back to admire it.“It’s beautiful,” Vera said genuinely.“Because we made it together,” Eira said proudly, crawling into Vera’s lap and resting her head against her chest. “It’s the best day ever.”Vera wrapped her arms around her daughter and kissed the top of her head, feeling something tu
