Ex wife Returns As My Father’s Fiancée 8
OpalThe kindergarten multipurpose room was a chaotic sea of color, noise, and frantic energy. Streamers hung crookedly from the ceiling, small folding chairs were crammed around low tables, and the air smelled heavily of poster paint, apple juice, and melted wax crayons."Mommy! Look! They have mini blueberry muffins!" Oliver gasped, grabbing my hand and attempting to drag me toward the snack table before we had even checked in."Muffins after the presentations, Oliver," I laughed softly, catching him by his yellow suspenders and pulling him back toward our assigned table.I wore a simple cream knit sweater and tailored trousers, my dark hair pulled back into a soft low bun. Beside me, Grace looked radiant in a blue denim jumper, her hair expertly braided into two neat plaits this morning after an extensive negotiation involving two mini marshmallows. Grayson walked beside her, impeccably dressed in a tiny navy cardigan, holding our family poster board flat against his chest as if it

GrahamThe dark glass of the limousine window reflected a man who had gotten everything he ever bargained for.At thirty-five, I was no longer just the heir apparent to the Morrison legacy—I was its absolute ruler. Over the past five years, I had aggressively expanded Morrison Group, crushing competitors, doubling our market capitalization, and securing complete control over the board. The financial press called me ruthless, brilliant, and untouchable.My professional life was a masterclass in flawless execution. My personal life was an arid wasteland."I still don't understand why you ordered a second bottle of Chateau Margaux if you were planning to abandon her after forty-five minutes," Ethan said, leaning back in the leather seat opposite me as the driver navigated through the midnight traffic of Manhattan.I adjusted the cuff of my jacket, keeping my eyes fixed on the blur of city lights passing outside. "She was boring, Ethan. Her father runs an investment firm I plan to acquire

OpalThe silence in the dining room hung heavy and suffocating. The rhythmic tapping of the rain against the windowpane felt like a countdown, each drop demanding an answer I had spent half a decade running from.Grayson remained standing, his dark eyes fixed on mine with an unsettling, adult-like patience. Grace looked up expectantly from her chair, her pink marker still clutched in her tiny hand, while Oliver bounced his heels against the table legs, eager for whatever piece of the puzzle I was about to drop.My chest constricted. I looked down at the paper—at the tall, faceless man in the sharp black suit standing beside my children.What’s our daddy’s name?I knew in that exact, terrifying second that I had reached a boundary. I couldn't brush this off with a vague promise to talk later. They were five now. If I kept deflecting, if I kept shutting down their innocent curiosity, the silence would begin to curdle into something shameful. They would grow up believing their father was

Opal"Oliver! Where is your left shoe? We have to leave in seven minutes!"My voice echoed through our four-bedroom cottage, completely drowned out by the sound of a plastic dinosaur roaring in the hallway and the TV blaring morning cartoons."I didn't lose it, Mommy!" Oliver’s voice boomed back from the living room. "I put it in a safe place so the shoe monster wouldn't steal it!"I pressed my palms against my face, taking a deep breath to steady myself. It was 7:45 AM on a rainy Tuesday. My hair was only half-curled, my coffee was already cold on the kitchen counter, and in less than two hours, I had a massive pitch presentation with a regional hotel chain looking for a complete interior design overhaul.Five years ago, mornings in my life meant quiet, marble-lined halls, silence broken only by the gentle rustle of a morning newspaper, and a stoic butler placing freshly squeezed orange juice on a polished dining table. Life as Graham Morrison’s wife had been luxurious, pristine, and

OpalFour weeks passed in a haze of gray, crushing reality. The divorce went through with brutal speed. When you have a team of top-tier lawyers backed by billions of dollars, a marriage can be dissolved in less time than it takes to build one. Just like that, the legal bond binding me to Graham Morrison was erased. I was no longer his wife. I was just another headline that had faded from the top of the news stack. But while the legal battle ended, the aftermath threatened to swallow me whole. The scandal had utterly demolished my reputation. In the eyes of high society and the public, I was the ultimate villain—a penniless girl who had married a handsome billionaire, only to betray him with another man in hotel rooms. People who had smiled at me at charity galas, women who had called themselves my friends while sipping champagne in my living room, suddenly didn't know my name. They crossed the street when they saw me coming or looked right through me as if I were made of glass. M

OpalThe sharp, sterile smell of antiseptic was the first thing that clawed its way into my senses. Then came the harsh white glare of fluorescent lights buzzing overhead, making my eyelids burn as I slowly blinked them open. My head throbbed with a dull, echoing ache, and my stomach churned with that familiar, hollow nausea. "Opal? Oh thank God, you're awake." I turned my head to see my best friend, Maya, leaning over the side of the hospital bed. Her eyes were red-rimmed, her face pale with worry as she grabbed my cold hand and squeezed it tightly. "Maya?" My voice was raspy, dry like sandpaper. "Where... what happened?" "You fainted on the sidewalk right outside your apartment building," Maya said, her voice shaking slightly. "A stranger saw you collapse and called an ambulance. They found my number on your emergency contact list. Opal, you scared me to death." The memories came rushing back in a devastating wave—the dining room at the Morrison estate, the fake photos, Graham’
