Camilla Alden slammed the car door shut with a force that echoed through the otherwise serene golf course parking lot.

Her heels clicked furiously against the asphalt as she circled the car, ripping off her gloves like they were to blame for the monumental loss they’d just suffered.

Lucas followed quietly behind her, jaw tight, hands shoved in his pockets, looking every bit like a man being led to the gallows.

Inside the car, the silence was thick for about five seconds, then she exploded.

“You’re a good for nothing, weak excuse of a man!” Camilla screamed, jabbing a manicured finger at him as her voice echoed off the leather seats. “How dare you stand there like a statue while Vera Sinclair paraded around in front of us like she owned the damn world?”

Lucas didn’t respond. He simply turned his face toward the window, the tension in his jaw the only sign that her words were cutting through.

“You couldn’t even keep your eyes off her! You think Mr. Grayson didn’t notice? You think I did

  • Dear Ex, I'm More Than Your Plan B   Chapter 126

    He shut his eyes hard, rejecting the thought before it could take root.“Don’t,” he whispered, his jaw locking tight. “Don’t even go there.”But he couldn’t stop himself.Because now that the idea had entered his mind, it wouldn’t leave. The curls. The smile. The way her nose crinkled. There was something eerily familiar in her face, but he couldn’t place it.No. Vera wouldn’t have kept a child from him.Would she?He sighed again and leaned back in the seat, removing his sunglasses and tossing them onto the dashboard.The light hit his tired eyes, and he blinked slowly, letting them adjust.From across the street, a mother and her daughter walked out of the gates, hand in hand, giggling over something the little girl said.He stared at them, unmoving. Silent. Empty.There was a time, not long ago, when he had imagined a family like that with Vera. Her laugh. Their child’s laughter. Mornings of burnt pancakes and tiny footsteps.And then, it all shattered.The letter. Her disappearanc

    The drive to the office was quiet.Too quiet.Vera normally enjoyed her mornings after dropping Eira off, listening to classical instrumentals or the occasional podcast on design trends, but today her fingers tightened around the steering wheel, her mind looping back to her daughter's innocent words:“He looked sad, Mommy… So I told him to smile more.”She had smiled at the time, even chuckled at Eira’s sweetness. But now, driving through the city with sunlight streaking through her windows, something about it just… wouldn’t leave her.A stranger? Right outside the school gates?No matter how harmless it had seemed, no matter how casually Eira described it, the thought made Vera uneasy.By the time she pulled into the underground parking of the Fontaine Tech Tower, she had convinced herself she was just being paranoid. Still, her feet moved faster than usual toward the elevator.She stepped out into the marble floored lobby and nearly bumped into a familiar figure.“Whoa, slow down th

    A short while later, they were walking hand in hand toward the school, the streets already bustling with morning traffic.Eira skipped a little, chattering about how she wanted to finish her sandcastle drawing for show and tell today.Vera listened, smiling faintly, but her thoughts were elsewhere, lingering on the unknown man her daughter had spoken to. Something about it made her uneasy, a whisper of a past she thought she’d buried. But she shook it off. It couldn’t be...As they neared the school, Vera bent down and smoothed Eira’s hair. “Remember what we said?”Eira nodded. “No talking to strangers. Only Mommy, teachers, or Talia.”“Perfect.” Vera gave her a bright smile, though something inside her fluttered anxiously. “Have the best day, my love.”Eira hugged her quickly before running off toward the school gates, her bright backpack bouncing behind her. She turned back once and waved. Vera waved back, eyes lingering.She waited until Eira disappeared into the school building be

    Sarah slammed the door so hard the decorative vase on the foyer table rattled dangerously.She stormed into the Donovan suite like a woman possessed, her heels echoing against the marble tiles of the luxurious floor.Her face, once carefully composed with elegant makeup, was now flushed red, eyes stormy with frustration and disbelief.“Asher!” she shouted.He was sitting on the couch, still wearing the same dark shirt from earlier, the collar loose and sleeves rolled up. A crystal glass of untouched scotch sat on the table in front of him. His eyes were distant, fixed on the city skyline outside the large windows.She stormed closer, stopping just a few feet from him, trying to catch her breath. “I’ve been calling you for hours! You left me sitting at that restaurant like some pathetic trophy wife to be, and now you’re just here, drinking and brooding? You don’t even have the decency to answer my texts?!”He didn’t respond immediately.Just a slow, exhale. Like her presence had barely

    As Vera helped her into the backseat of the car and buckled her in, Eira turned to her with an almost dreamy sigh. “His name was cool too.”Vera froze, hands pausing just above the seatbelt clip. “You asked for his name?”“He told me!” Eira said, chewing her lip. “But I can’t remember it. I gave him a nickname instead.”“Oh?” Vera raised an eyebrow as she settled into the driver’s seat. “What nickname?”“Mr. Droopy Eyes.”Vera blinked, caught off guard.“What?”“He had droopy eyes! Like he hadn’t slept in forever. But he still looked like a superhero,” Eira declared confidently, swinging her legs as she held Princess Pickle tight. “And he talked so soft. Like you, Mama. When you talk to the moon.”Vera stilled.Talk to the moon.How many times had she found herself at the window whispering into the dark, wondering if Asher could hear her across the distance?Her daughter didn’t miss a thing.“You’re imagining things, baby,” Vera said with a gentle smile, brushing it off. “Still, no mo

    He handed the doll to her carefully, like it was made of porcelain.Their hands brushed, and even that momentary contact sent something strange curling in his gut.She hugged the doll tightly and then tilted her head as she studied his face.“You’re sad,” she said suddenly.Asher blinked. “What?”“You look sad,” she repeated, serious this time. “Like my mama when she cries at night. She thinks I don’t hear her, but I do. So, I tell her to smile more.”His chest ached.This child, so innocent, so intuitive, had seen right through him with one look.“I’m just… tired,” he said softly.“That’s not the same as sad,” she replied, squinting at him, unconvinced.He smiled faintly.She was right.She leaned closer to the bars and held out her hand, palm up. “If you’re sad, you need a friend.”His throat tightened.For a second, all he could do was stare at her tiny hand, so trusting, so unafraid.He reached out and clasped it gently.She grinned. “See? Now you’re not alone.”Asher let out a br
