Divorced By My Cold Husband, I Returned As A CEO Chapter 84
ElaraThe weeks after William’s burial moved like water through cupped hands — slowly, and then gone before she’d registered them passing.She didn’t go back to work. She didn’t go outside. She sat in the house and watched the light change from morning to afternoon to evening and did it again the next day and the day after that, and told herself each morning that today would be different and each evening admitted that it hadn’t been.She missed him.Not just William — though the grief for him was its own specific weight, the loss of a man who had been nothing but kind to her when kindness cost him something. She missed Alaric too. Two fathers in one year. Two men who had looked at her and seen something worth protecting.Daniel went back to school. Maya moved quietly around the house, cooking things Elara mostly didn’t eat, keeping the space clean and functioning and not pushing.The television was company, mostly. Background noise. Proof that the world was still moving even when she

“Julian.”Her voice came out broken and certain at the same time — the voice of someone who has made a decision in the middle of falling apart and means every word of it.“We can’t continue this wedding. We can’t.”She was on the floor. She didn’t know when she’d gotten there. Jules was beside her and the bouquet was somewhere and the dress was all around her and none of it mattered at all.Julian crouched in front of her. “Elara.” His voice was careful. Urgent. “Listen to me. We have come too far — we have planned too long — we can go to him after, we can—”“Do you hear yourself?” She looked at him through her tears and felt something sharp cut through the grief — anger, clean and cold. “Do you hear what you’re saying to me right now?” She pushed to her feet. “His father is dead, Julian. Yours. And you want me to walk down an aisle?” She shook her head. “I’m not going anywhere except to him. The wedding is canceled. I’ve already decided.” She looked at him directly. “I suggest you do

The days moved quickly in the way days do when you’re not ready for where they’re taking you.Two days left.Elara stood at her window in the early morning and looked at Victor’s house and felt the absence of him like a change in weather. He had withdrawn completely — no morning waves, no knocked doors, no appearing with Daniel or food or terrible soup or any of the small, persistent ways he’d been present in her life for months. The lights in his house went on and off at normal hours and she saw him occasionally through the window, moving, existing, and he never looked across.She noticed every time he didn’t look across.She didn’t mention it to anyone.Julian came every day with something new — a planner, a venue decision, invitation cards that needed approving, a caterer with questions about dietary requirements. He was thorough and excited and entirely absorbed in the logistics of the thing they were building together.Elara went where she was taken. Approved what was presented.

The partners looked across the table at Elara and smiled warmly.“Thank you for sparing us a few minutes,” the older one said. “We know it’s a great deal to ask — given that you’re barely days away from your wedding.”Elara nodded graciously. “I had to come. Whatever you had to tell me was worth hearing in person.”They glanced between her and Victor with the satisfied expressions of people about to deliver good news.“You two have been exceptional,” the second one said. “Trustworthy, consistent, thorough. Honestly — we’re impressed.” He paused, then smiled. “When I heard you were getting married, I confess my first thought was that it must be Mr. Victor.”Victor produced a professionally polished chuckle. “No, Sir,” he said, his voice entirely even. “Not me.”Elara swallowed quietly and kept her expression pleasant.“Well then,” the first partner continued, setting his hands on the table. “Here is what we wanted to discuss. We’ve been reviewing the communities your project serves, an

Julian’s POVHe sat on the edge of his bed and smiled at the ceiling.The medical documents had been left by mistake. Victor’s mistake. And what a fortunate mistake it was — the kind that lands in your hands like something the universe has decided you deserve. He turned the implications over slowly, with the careful pleasure of someone examining a tool they intend to use well.Elara is mine now.The smile settled into something more certain.And Victor — if you don’t step back, you’ll take the same route as your father.He said it quietly, to the empty room, and let it sit there.Then the other matter. Daniel.He leaned forward slightly, elbows on his knees, thinking it through. The boy’s affections were inconveniently organised — all of them pointed in the wrong direction, toward a man who had no business being the centre of a child’s world when Julian was right there and willing and present. That needed to change. Not dramatically. Just — gradually, deliberately, the way you redirec

Julian talked the entire journey. He was animated in the way of someone who has gotten exactly what they wanted and hasn’t yet learned to contain it — gesturing as he drove, laughing at his own observations, planning out loud with the cheerful momentum of a man whose future has just snapped into focus. Elara watched the city go past her window and said the right things at the right intervals and felt, underneath all of it, the particular heaviness of someone moving through a day that belongs to someone else. The boutique was everything its name promised. Classy Bridals — warm lighting, ivory and cream everywhere, the hushed reverence of a place that understood its own significance. They were welcomed at the door and guided inside with the practiced attentiveness of staff who recognized the particular energy of a couple on this kind of errand. “Welcome. Please — let us show you what we have.” They moved through the racks. Julian touched things, pointed things out, consulted with
