He paced along the sidewalk, hand clenched so tightly around his phone he barely noticed the bite of the metal casing digging into his palm.

Everything inside him screamed.

Vera hadn’t promised him forever, but she hadn’t taken it away either.

She had leaned on him. Trusted him. Let him into the places she never let anyone else go.

And that bastard Donovan had come back and looked him in the face with that same smug composure, that same cool confidence he wore like a second skin. Like he knew t

  • Dear Ex, I'm More Than Your Plan B   Chapter 258

    Vera had stepped fully into her role as CEO of the Sterling Group, transforming it into one of the most formidable business empires in the country.Her leadership was steady yet bold, and her reputation as both strategist and visionary had silenced every critic who once doubted her.She commanded respect not because of her family name, but because she had earned it.Asher, meanwhile, stood unshaken at the helm of Donovan Group. Ruthless in business yet tender with his family, he had rebuilt the company’s legacy into one of integrity and strength.But beyond the accolades, beyond the flashing headlines that often followed them, it was this, the quiet laughter of their child, the warmth of family gathered, that truly mattered.As the children continued their games, Vera leaned into Asher slightly, her voice low. “She’s so happy,” she whispered.Asher’s lips curved into a small smile. “She deserves nothing less. After everything, she deserves the world.”Vera glanced toward Mrs. Fontaine

  • Dear Ex, I'm More Than Your Plan B   Chapter 257

    Vera’s hand rose, cupping his cheek, forcing him to meet her gaze again. “It makes you a man who finally stopped enabling a monster. Asher, you didn’t do this because you wanted to hurt her. You did it because if you didn’t, she would have destroyed us.”She leaned in, her forehead pressing against his. “You did it for me. For Eira. That is not something to hate yourself for. That is something to hold onto.”He closed his eyes, and his body sagged. The tension melted, leaving behind exhaustion so deep it made him tremble.He let out a shaky breath, and Vera held him through it, her arms slipping around him as if she could anchor him back to the life they still had.“You’re not alone,” she whispered into his ear. “You’ll never be alone, Asher. Not while we’re here.”He clung to her then, his walls finally breaking in the safety of her embrace.His fingers dug into her waist as if she were the only thing tethering him to the ground.For Asher Donovan, power had always been about control

  • Dear Ex, I'm More Than Your Plan B   Chapter 256

    Evelyn's knees buckled, and for the first time in my life, Vera saw Evelyn Donovan crumble.She sank into the chair behind her, her manicured hands clutching the armrests as though the ground beneath her had disappeared.Her shoulders shook, not with delicate sobs, but with the raw, guttural cries of a woman who had lost everything she had ever built her identity upon.“You can’t leave me like this,” she wept. “Don’t leave me alone…”Loneliness. The one thing Evelyn had always feared more than death.She had surrounded herself with influence, with people who bowed to her power, with the illusion of loyalty, but deep down, she had always known that none of it was love. And now, even the illusion was gone.Asher’s face didn’t flinch. He stood like stone, though you could see the tremor in his clenched fists, the tightening of his jaw.“This is mercy,” he said quietly. “Because prison would have been easier. At least there, you’d have company.”Her cry ripped through the room.Vera swall

  • Dear Ex, I'm More Than Your Plan B   Chapter 255

    Sarah was supposed to be her weapon. A perfect instrument, polished, loyal, and pliable enough to execute Evelyn’s designs against Vera without dirtying Evelyn’s own hands. And yet, here she was, reduced to a national spectacle, dragged through the mud, her name blackened beyond repair.It wasn’t just Sarah’s ruin Evelyn was watching.It was a message.Asher’s message.Her son had finally turned his hand against her, and instead of coming directly for her, he had chosen to dismantle her pawn first, publicly, mercilessly, and with precision so calculated it sent a chill through Evelyn’s veins.She rose from her chair and moved to the window, clutching the silk of her robe tightly around her.The city skyline glittered beyond the Donovan estate, but for once it did not comfort her.“Asher…” she whispered under her breath, her tone trembling between disbelief and rage. “You dare.”Memories of the confrontation with him days earlier, the cold finality in his voice, the way his eyes had sh

    “You’re asking me to destroy my own mother,” Asher murmured, his voice low, almost ragged.“I’m asking you,” Vera shot back, her tone razor sharp, “to choose the family you built, the one standing in front of you, over the woman who’s been tearing it apart since the beginning.”Her chest heaved as she leaned closer, her hand pressing against his chest, right over his heart. “Asher, look at me. Look at what she’s done. To me. To you. To our daughter.” Her voice cracked again, her anger shaking under the weight of her grief. “Dorian is dead because of her. And Eira…” Vera’s lips quivered. “Eira might never feel safe again. How many more times are you going to let her burn everything we love before you finally stop her?”The silence that followed was suffocating.Asher closed his eyes, his breath jagged.He wanted to say I can’t.He wanted to admit that every instinct in him screamed against turning on his mother, no matter how vile her sins. But another voice, darker, sharper, echoed lo

  • Dear Ex, I'm More Than Your Plan B   Chapter 253

    Asher poured himself a glass of scotch, the amber liquid trembling in his hand.He didn’t drink it. He set it down hard on the desk and braced his palms against the wood. His reflection in the glass window stared back at him, the ruthless heir, the man who could destroy empires without blinking. But when it came to his mother, when it came to her, he was a boy again, chained by blood, unable to lift the sword."Asher Donovan," he muttered bitterly to himself, "you can tear the world apart… but you can’t cut down the woman who’s burning your family alive."His throat tightened. His jaw clenched. He wanted to scream. To smash the glass. To break free from the invisible leash that Evelyn had wrapped around him since birth.But all he did was stand there in the suffocating silence, hating himself for the one truth he couldn’t change.He could fight anyone.He could end anyone.Except her...................Vera sat on the edge of the couch, arms folded tightly across her chest, her gaze

  • Dear Ex, I'm More Than Your Plan B   Chapter 21

    The ride back was quiet, but not uncomfortable. The kind of quiet that lingered between two people who had said enough and still had more to say.The city lights streamed through the tinted windows, bathing Vera’s skin in a soft gold glow, and Asher, seated beside her, found himself watching her mo

  • Dear Ex, I'm More Than Your Plan B   Chapter 20

    Vera sat curled up on the velvet armchair by the window, a book open in her lap though her eyes had long stopped reading the words.The early evening glow painted her apartment in soft amber tones, shadows stretching slowly across the room.She had barely touched her tea. Her thoughts kept circling

  • Dear Ex, I'm More Than Your Plan B   Chapter 19

    Vera sat on the edge of her bed, her knees drawn up to her chest, the glow from her phone screen casting a faint light across her face.She hadn’t moved much since replying to Asher, still lost in the haze of everything that had unfolded, Lucas, Sarah, the banquet… and now this.Her phone buzzed so

  • Dear Ex, I'm More Than Your Plan B   Chapter 18

    She had sent that message on a whim, right in the heat of her bitterness, fueled by Sarah’s venom and her own need to break free from the past.But now… staring at his response, she felt the ground shift beneath her.Asher:Then let’s stop playing.Vera blinked.No deflections.No vague replies.No
