Vera barely had time to breathe before she heard the light, familiar knock on her door.

Dorian.

She glanced down at her robe, quickly adjusted the tie around her waist, and pulled the door open.

There he stood, hair slightly tousled from the breeze, dark blue shirt rolled at the sleeves, and a bouquet of daisies in one hand. His eyes immediately softened when they met hers.

“I know it’s early,” he said, offering the flowers with a sheepish smile. “But I missed you. And her.”

Vera stared at the flowers for a moment, then stepped aside to let him in. “You didn’t have to bring flowers.”

He stepped past her with ease, like he belonged there, and for six years, he had.

“Of course I did. It’s not every day I get ignored over pancakes and dreams,” he teased lightly, the sting of yesterday’s call unreadable in his eyes.

“Eira’s in the kitchen,” Vera said gently. “Finishing her breakfast.”

“I figured.” He stepped in and caught sight of Eira just as she was plucking a strawberry off her plate.

  • Dear Ex, I'm More Than Your Plan B   Chapter 150

    For the first time in a very long time, Dorian couldn’t move.Not because of fear. Not because of anger.But because of heartbreak.He watched the way Eira clung to Asher. The way she laughed against his shoulder and how he held her, not with uncertainty, but with a kind of desperation Dorian recognized too well.The desperation of someone who had finally touched something they never believed they’d have again.And in that moment, Dorian saw it.Not just Eira's excitement.But Asher’s pain.And for a moment, just a sliver of time, he felt like an intruder in a life he had spent six years helping hold together.“Come inside,” Vera said suddenly, her voice too soft, too brittle.She was already opening the door wider. Not just for Asher, but for everything that came with him.Eira slipped down from Asher’s arms, grabbing his hand as if it belonged there, leading him in as though he were always meant to be part of this morning.Dorian didn’t say a word. He stepped back, giving Asher room

    Vera’s heart dropped.She knew this day would come. She just hadn’t thought it would be now. Not like this. Not while everything was still so raw, when her own wounds hadn’t finished bleeding.She looked into her daughter’s eyes. The same shade of gray that used to haunt her dreams. The same softness in the lashes. The same stubborn chin.There was no denying it anymore.“Yes,” she whispered.Eira blinked. “Really?”Vera nodded slowly. “His name is Asher Donovan. And yes, he’s your biological father.”Eira’s mouth opened, but no sound came at first. Then, finally, a breathy, “Why didn’t you ever tell me?”“I was trying to protect you,” Vera said, her voice cracking slightly. “It wasn’t an easy decision, sweetie. Grown up things… they’re messy sometimes. And complicated.”“Did he not want me?” Eira asked, her voice so small it almost didn’t reach Vera’s ears.“No!” Vera said quickly, cupping her daughter’s cheeks. “No, baby, it wasn’t like that. He didn’t know. He thought… he thought s

    The room was dim, lit only by the soft glow of Eira’s nightlight.Vera watched from the door as Dorian knelt beside the bed, brushing a curl from her forehead with the tenderness of a man who had memorized every inch of this child, her bedtime rituals, her fear of thunder, the way she hated brushing her teeth but loved reading two books back to back.His throat moved as he swallowed.Then he leaned down, pressed a gentle kiss to Eira’s head, and whispered something Vera couldn’t hear.When he stood, he turned back to Vera, his eyes suspiciously glassy.“I’ll go now,” he said. “I just… thank you for letting me see her.”“Dorian,” she said softly. “You’re not losing her.”His eyes flickered.“But I can’t promise you anything yet,” she added quickly. “This… everything is moving too fast. I need time.”“I know.” He gave her a strained smile. “I’ll give you all the time you need. Just don’t shut me out.”“I won’t.”He started to walk past her toward the front door, but then paused.“I stil

  • Dear Ex, I'm More Than Your Plan B   Chapter 146

    Dorian sat there in the parking lot, engine humming quietly, the shadows of the evening slipping like fingers through his windshield.He didn’t move. Didn’t speak.Just stared at the dashboard like it held the answers he needed.The call had ended two minutes ago.The silence now was absolute.He slowly reached into the inside pocket of his coat and pulled out the small velvet box.It felt heavier than before.He stared at it in his palm. The deep navy exterior, the discreet Sterling jeweler’s emblem on the hinge, the symbol of everything he had hoped to give her.Vera.The woman who had walked into his life six years ago carrying nothing but pain and a baby with eyes too sharp, too knowing, too bruised by a world she hadn’t yet met.Back then, he hadn’t cared where she came from. He only knew she was broken, and so was he.They’d built something from their cracks.He opened the box.The ring glimmered.A classic cushion cut diamond, framed with tiny sapphires, for strength, loyalty,

    Vera looked away, her shoulders sinking with the weight of it all. “She’s going to come after me.”“I’ll handle Sarah.”“You couldn’t handle her before.”“This time’s different.”“You’re still underestimating her.”“I’m not,” Asher said, eyes burning. “I know exactly what she’s capable of now.”They stared at each other for a beat too long,.A creak from the hallway signaled Eira’s return, barefoot and sleepy eyed, dragging her small blanket behind her like armor.She looked between them, sensing the change in the air but not the depth of it.“Are we going home now?” she asked, rubbing her eyes.Vera knelt beside her, pressing a kiss to her forehead. “In a little while, sweetheart. Say goodbye to Mr. Droopy Eyes.”Eira frowned. “Do I have to?”Vera smiled tightly. “He’ll see you again soon. I promise.”Asher crouched beside them. “You’re really leaving?”“For now,” Vera said without meeting his eyes. “But I’m not taking her away from you again. You’ll see her. I’ll make sure of it.”H
