Kayla’s POV

The soft thud of my shoes echoed through the apartment gym as I jogged on the treadmill, sweat trickling down my temple. The screen blinked red numbers back at me, but my mind wasn’t on the workout. It was somewhere else entirely.

Maya sat cross-legged on the yoga mat nearby, sipping her protein drink and scrolling through her tablet. “You’ve been quiet all morning,” she said without looking up. “What’s eating you this time?”

I pressed the button to slow the treadmill before finally

  • Divorced And Out of His League   Chapter 37

    Kayla’s POVThe restaurant was quieter than most places in the city. It wasn’t one of those crowded, overly glamorous spots where everyone came to be seen.This one had a certain elegance that whispered wealth instead of shouting it. Gold chandeliers hung over tables covered in cream linen.A soft instrumental tune floated through the air. It was perfect for a private dinner… or at least, it would have been if the man I was supposed to meet had shown up on time.As I stepped out of my car, my phone was pressed to my ear. My mother’s cheerful voice filled the speaker.“Oh, you’ll love him, Kayla. Steven is such a refined young man. Polite, handsome, and with good family values. His uncle told me he’s been looking forward to meeting you.”I rolled my eyes even though she couldn’t see me. “You’ve been saying that for the past week, Mom. I’m beginning to think y

  • Divorced And Out of His League   Chapter 36

    Kayla’s POVThe morning sun was bright and peaceful, yet the day ahead carried a certain weight. Today marked the one-year remembrance of Robert Thompson, the patriarch of the Thompson family… one of the most respected and powerful families in the country.As the car glided through the streets toward the grand estate, I could already imagine the crowd that would be there. The Thompsons were as influential as the Wards… perhaps even more socially admired. The event would certainly draw the attention of every notable figure in Manhattan’s business circle.I was obligated to attend. Not just because of etiquette, but because of Alissa Thompson. Alissa, the late Robert’s first granddaughter, was not just a friend but also one of my most reliable business partners.We’d collaborated on several major projects, and she’d always stood by me through every controversy that threatened my career.When I arrived

  • Divorced And Out of His League   Chapter 35

    Kayla’s POVI wasn’t expecting to spend my night driving to the airport. Especially not after a long day at the office and an even longer night of celebrating with my team. My mother’s call had come out of nowhere, telling me to come pick her up at the Manhattan airport.She’d been in England for weeks on vacation, and now suddenly she was back? Without a single text or hint? I couldn’t lie… something didn’t feel right.When I finally spotted her at the arrival section, there she was… Evangeline Brooks in all her dramatic glory. A fur scarf wrapped around her neck, oversized sunglasses covering half her face even though it was night. She looked like someone stepping off a private jet in a movie, not a regular flight.“Kayla, my darling!” she squealed the moment our eyes met. Her suitcase nearly toppled as she ran toward me. “My goodness, you look so thin! Are you even eating? Oh, I should

  • Divorced And Out of His League   Chapter 34

    Kayla’s POVThe ThreatIt was around six in the evening, and the company’s private hall was already glowing with lights, laughter, and music. Everyone from Brookes Atelier was there… employees, business partners, clients, and even a few media representatives who’d been given limited access.The entire place smelled of champagne, success, and something sweet… maybe it was the strawberry pastries Tessa had insisted on adding to the menu.Upstairs, in the smaller conference room that overlooked the hall, I sat with Maya, Tessa, and a few of my key business partners.From the wide glass wall, we could see the entire celebration taking place below us… people chatting, dancing, and clinking glasses. But up here, the mood was a bit more serious.Tessa leaned forward, resting her chin on her palm. “It’s crazy, isn’t it? Adrian’s scandal really did shake the whole industry. I

  • Divorced And Out of His League   Chapter 33

    Kayla’s POVThe bright studio lights were blinding. They glared down on me like little suns, forcing me to squint even as the cameras began to roll. I could see the red light blink on the main camera, signaling that we were live. My heart skipped once, then steadied.The famous journalist, Clara James, smiled warmly at me from across the sleek glass table. “Welcome back, Miss Kayla Brookes,” she began.“You’ve been in the headlines these past few weeks for all the right reasons…exposing corruption, saving the association’s integrity, and recently… your rather mature reaction to Saxon Chataway’s revelation.”Her tone was friendly but probing. I’d expected that.I smiled. “Thank you, Clara. It’s good to be here.”“Let’s start with the question everyone’s been asking,” she said, leaning forward slightly. “When did you first

  • Divorced And Out of His League   Chapter 32

    Kayla’s POVFor a moment, silence consumed the room…heavy, suffocating silence.All eyes were on me, waiting for my reaction. The video had done its job; it painted me as the villain in this carefully woven trap of Adrian’s.And God, he’d done it brilliantly.A slow, bitter smile tugged at my lips as I turned to him. “You thought this through, didn’t you?” I said quietly, almost admiringly. “You always were good at playing the hero in your own story.”Adrian’s eyes flickered… just once… before he schooled his face into that same arrogant calmness I’d come to know too well.I rose from my seat, my palms steady despite the chaos brewing inside me. “Ladies and gentlemen,” I began, turning to face the association board. “I won’t deny being at Mrs. Chataway’s private resort. But before you condemn me, allow me to explain why I was there.

  • Divorced And Out of His League   Chapter 8

    Kayla’s POVI grabbed Adrian’s arm before he could say another word and pulled him toward a quiet hallway behind the ballroom. My pulse was hammering in my ears, my heels clicking sharply against the marble floor as I dragged him away from the flashing lights and murmurs.

  • Divorced And Out of His League   Chapter 6

    Kayla’s POV“It’s past 8 already. Inform the host that I’ll be a bit late,” I said as I adjusted the earring on my right ear.Maya, my personal assistant, nodded and quickly typed something on her tablet. “Yes, ma’am. Should I tell him you’re just getting back from D.C.?”I smiled slightly through

  • Divorced And Out of His League   Chapter 5

    Kayla’s POVFour years later.Sometimes, I wonder if the woman I used to be would even recognize me now.Back then, I was soft… always waiting, hoping, forgiving. Now, I’m steel beneath silk. Still kind, but never naive.The world broke me once. I rebuilt myself with the pieces.The morning sunligh

  • Divorced And Out of His League   Chapter 7

    Kayla’s POVApplause filled the air the moment the auction ended. People began crowding around me, their faces bright with admiration and curiosity.“Miss Brooks, that was quite the bid,” one man said, shaking his head. “Five times the starting price? You must really love art.”I smiled politely. “
