Serena’s fingers trembled slightly as she sent the last message to the maid. Her lips curved into a thin, cold smile.

She rose from her bed and walked toward her wardrobe. For this night, she didn’t need glamour, just something simple. She slipped into a dark silk dress that flowed smoothly around her knees, it was the kind of dress that made her look elegant but not noticeable.

She leaned toward the mirror, her head slightly tilted, and met the eyes of a woman hiding something, then a cyn

  • Divorcing Mr CEO    the awakening

    The morning light filtered softly through the hospital blinds, casting gentle stripes across the sterile white walls of the ICU room. The machines continued their steady rhythm—beep, hiss, beep, a mechanical lullaby that had become the soundtrack of Lord Blackwood's existence for the past several days.Mrs. Blackwood sat in her usual chair beside the bed, a cup of lukewarm tea clutched in her hands. She'd been there since five in the morning, unable to sleep at home, drawn back to her husband's side by an invisible thread of hope and fear.She stared at his face, memorizing every line, every shadow. His breathing was so shallow that sometimes she had to lean close just to confirm he was still alive."Please," she whispered for the thousandth time. "Please wake up. Please come back to me."As if responding to her plea, Lord Blackwood's fingers twitched.Mrs. Blackwood's breath caught. She leaned forward, setting down her tea so quickly it sloshed over the rim."Darling?" Her voice was

  • Divorcing Mr CEO    Serena's preparation

    The night was quiet in Serena's bedroom. The only sound came from the soft ticking of the clock on the wall and the occasional rustle of fabric as she moved around the room.The curtains were drawn, blocking out the glow of the city lights. A single lamp on her nightstand cast a warm but eerie glow across the space. On her bed lay several items, carefully selected and arranged like tools for a surgeon preparing for an operation.Serena stood before her full-length mirror, studying her reflection with cold, calculating eyes. She wore all black—a fitted turtleneck, slim pants, and flat shoes. Nothing flashy. Nothing memorable. The kind of outfit that would blend into shadows, that cameras would struggle to capture clearly.Her hair was pulled back into a tight ponytail. No jewelry. No makeup. She looked nothing like the glamorous society wife she usually presented to the world.She looked like someone preparing for war.Satisfied with her appearance, Serena turned to her bed and picked

  • Divorcing Mr CEO    Shadows of doubt

    The afternoon sun cast long shadows through the windows of the Harrington mansion study. The barrister sat slumped in his leather chair, staring blankly at the wall across from him. Dark circles hung beneath his eyes like bruises. His shirt was wrinkled, his tie loosened and hanging askew around his neck.He hadn't slept properly in days.Every creak of the house made him jump. Every car that passed on the street made his heart race. Every phone notification sent a spike of fear through his chest.But nothing had come.No messages. No calls. No more photographs.Three days of silence.Maybe—just maybe, Serena had given up. Maybe she'd moved on to some other scheme. Maybe the photographs had just been a warning, and now that he'd been sufficiently terrified, she was satisfied.He wanted to believe that.God, how badly he wanted to believe that.The barrister rubbed his face with both hands, feeling the rough stubble that had grown from days of not shaving. He looked at the desk in fron

  • Divorcing Mr CEO    Morning light

    The morning arrived with a vengeance. Lira's eyes snapped open as her stomach churned violently. The nausea hit her like a wave, sudden and overwhelming. She threw off the covers and bolted toward the bathroom, her hand pressed against her mouth.She barely made it to the toilet before her stomach emptied itself. The retching was violent, her body shaking with each wave. Tears gathered at the corners of her eyes from the force of it.Behind her, she heard movement. Damian appeared in the doorway within seconds, his hair disheveled from sleep, concern etched across his face."Lira," he said softly, kneeling beside her.She couldn't respond. Another wave hit her.Damian gathered her hair gently in his hands, holding it back from her face. His other hand rubbed small circles on her back, offering what comfort he could."I've got you," he murmured. "Just breathe. It's going to pass."When the nausea finally subsided, Lira slumped against the cool bathroom tile, exhausted. Her whole body f

  • Divorcing Mr CEO    the Anniversary

    The morning sun broke through the clouds, casting pale light across the hospital room. Mrs. Blackwood sat in the chair beside her husband's bed, her fingers wrapped around his hand. She had spent another night in the hospital, refusing to go home despite the nurses' gentle insistence.Her eyes were fixed on his face, watching for any sign of movement. Any flicker of consciousness.Lord Blackwood remained still. The machines continued their steady rhythm. Beep. Hiss. Beep.A soft knock came at the door.Mrs. Blackwood looked up to see a young woman in a crisp business suit standing in the doorway. She recognized her as Rebecca, her husband's personal assistant."Mrs. Blackwood," Rebecca said softly, bowing her head respectfully. "I'm sorry to disturb you.""It's alright, Rebecca. Come in."The assistant stepped inside, clutching a leather portfolio against her chest. Her expression was uncertain, as if she wasn't sure she should be there."I wouldn't have come, but there's something th

  • Divorcing Mr CEO    Crack in the facade

    The evening had settled over the city by the time Harold's car pulled into the driveway of his mansion. The sun had disappeared behind the buildings, leaving behind streaks of orange and purple across the sky. He killed the engine and sat for a moment, his hands still gripping the steering wheel. The hospital visit had left him unsettled. His father's pale face. The machines keeping him alive. The way Damian had looked at him suspiciously and calculating, as if Harold were guilty of something. And maybe he was. Not of poisoning. He hadn't done that. But of wanting his father's position. Of resenting Damian's success. Of feeling like a failure in comparison. Harold stepped out of the car and walked toward the entrance. The bodyguards stationed at the door bowed slightly as he passed. He barely acknowledged them. Inside, the mansion was quiet. The usual sounds of Max playing or Serena moving through the house were absent. Only the soft hum of the air conditioning and the distant t

  • Divorcing Mr CEO    the pain behind her eyes

    Damian ran up the stairs with his heart beating fast, and fear gripping his chest. The sound of Lira's voice still echoed in his ears. When he reached the top, he pushed open the door without thinking twice. The room was silent now, but the air felt strange. His eyes searched quickly, and th

    For a long moment, Lira and Damian just stared at each other, with their eyes still being locked, neither of them saying a word. At that moment, Damian’s gaze softened. There was pain, longing, and something deeper in his eyes, but Lira couldn’t place it. She could only hear her own heartbeat p
