The Donovan estate was silent.

Outside, the moon hung heavy and pale above the manicured gardens, but inside, Evelyn Donovan sat perfectly still in the velvet armchair of her drawing room.

The lights were low, the fire long extinguished, but her rage burned hotter than any flame.

Her phone, placed neatly on the glass coffee table, was still glowing from the call that had just ended.

Asher had dared.

Dared to raise his voice.

Dared to threaten her, his own mother.

And all for that girl and her bastard.

She pressed her fingers together in her lap, knuckles whitening. Her jaw clenched so tight, her temple throbbed.

She had tolerated Vera Sterling’s existence for far too long. She’d warned Asher again and again. Ignored his reckless defiance, hoping it was temporary. But now?

Now he was ready to destroy everything she’d built for the sake of some countryside stray and the child she birthed in shame.

No. Not on her watch.

She reached for her phone with practiced calm, swiped to her private

  • Dear Ex, I'm More Than Your Plan B   Chapter 228

    Vera looked from her daughter’s trusting face to Asher, still kneeling before her.“You both drive me crazy,” she murmured, laughing softly through her tears.Asher smiled up at her, waiting.And with a watery breath, Vera finally whispered...“Yes.”The second the word left her lips, Eira gasped. “Did Mommy say yes?”Asher surged up and pulled Vera into his arms, the ring forgotten for a moment as relief poured through him.“Yes, baby,” he murmured into her hair. “She said yes.”Eira squealed and clapped, completely unaware she had just made the moment even more perfect.The ring sparkled delicately on Vera’s finger, glinting under the afternoon sunlight streaming through the windows.She couldn’t stop staring at it. Not because it was expensive, though she could tell it probably cost a small fortune, but because it was hers. Thoughtfully chosen.Now, they sat side by side at the long marble kitchen counter, a thick cream colored envelope lying between them. It had been hand delivere

    Asher took her tiny hand in his.“You’re our daughter,” he said, voice thick with emotion. “You’re the best thing that ever happened to us. And anyone who can’t see that doesn’t deserve to be near you.”Eira sniffled and nodded slowly.“Okay.”Asher held her tighter. Vera leaned in too, and for a moment, all three of them were wrapped in a fragile bubble of warmth and pain and quiet strength.But Vera’s eyes lifted to meet Asher’s over Eira’s shoulder, and what he saw there made his heart sink. She was still scared, still thinking.Still preparing.Whatever Evelyn Donovan had set in motion… Vera was bracing for it.And so was he.Asher pressed a final kiss to Eira’s forehead, then carefully lifted her back into Vera’s arms. “I’ll go get her bunny from the couch,” he murmured, ruffling the child’s curls before standing and stepping away.Vera sat in silence, her daughter nestled against her chest, the faint scent of strawberry shampoo clinging to the little girl’s curls. Eira’s breathi

    Asher’s entire body locked.His mouth parted, but nothing came out. No denial. No excuse.Just a stunned kind of horror.Vera’s voice broke, finally laced with emotion. “She said she'd expose secrets. Secrets that could destroy you. She said it to my face. In your home.”Asher ran a hand through his hair, stepping back as if the words physically hit him.“She said that… to Eira?”“No,” Vera said tightly. “But Eira heard. She heard enough. She asked me what it meant.”His throat constricted. “Oh, God…”“I spent the night holding our daughter, explaining to her why she wasn't bad. Why she wasn’t some shameful mistake just because her parents weren’t married.”Vera’s eyes were glassy now, but she didn’t let the tears fall.“I did your job tonight, Asher. I protected her. From your own mother.”Asher looked away, shame burning like acid under his skin. He wanted to scream. To punch a wall. But none of it would matter. None of it would undo the damage.“I didn’t know she would come here. I

    Vera gently closed the door lock, leaning her forehead against the cool wood for just a breath. She needed a second. Just one second to hold herself together.But Eira was still in her arms.Still watching her with big, confused, sleepy eyes.“Mommy?” her voice was soft but struck like lightning. “Who was that woman?”Vera forced a smile, kissing her daughter’s forehead. “Just someone from Daddy’s work.”Eira squinted. “Why was she angry?”Vera carried her back toward the bedroom, trying to move past the moment, but Eira wasn’t done.“She looked at me like I did something wrong,” she whispered.Vera’s steps faltered. Her arms tightened protectively around her daughter. “You didn’t, baby. You didn’t do anything wrong. That woman.. she’s just... upset about things that have nothing to do with you.”Eira was quiet for a moment before she said, “She called me a… bastard.”Vera froze.She hadn’t thought Eira had heard it. That word had slipped out like acid, flung by Evelyn in one of her v

    Just as Vera turned off the bedroom light and stepped back into the hallway, the doorbell rang.She froze.At this hour?Her eyes flicked to the clock on the wall, 10:47 p.m.Asher hadn’t said he was coming home yet. And the security downstairs wouldn’t buzz up just anyone unless...Unless they were family.Vera’s breath caught in her throat.The chime echoed again, sharp and decisive.She padded toward the door, peering through the peephole.Her chest tightened.There, standing tall in a perfectly tailored black coat, silver hair pinned flawlessly in place, and diamonds glinting at her throat, was Mrs. Evelyn Donovan.Vera unlocked the door slowly, not bothering to mask her caution.As the door swung open, Evelyn didn’t smile. She didn’t greet her. She didn’t even glance around the penthouse.Her cold eyes locked on Vera’s face.A gaze filled with disgust. Contempt. Calculated malice.She looked Vera over like she was a stain that had somehow crept back into the pristine linen of the
