Divorce

“Tomorrow morning, I’ll leave. It’s raining thunderstorm outside..,,” “No,” he thundered, taking me by surprise. My head snapped up. “What?” “You want to divorce me right?” he bellowed. “Then leave this instant. We are no longer married.” He spat, looking at me with rage and fury burning in his eyes. He looked nothing like the calm gentleman I fell in love with. “Adrian—” “I hope you get torn into pieces by an unknown creature you homeless parasite!” he spat. “Huh?” I gasped. Me? Homeless? “I'll give you few seconds to change your mind Elara…” he sneered. “Because the moment you set your feet off this mansion… you will be worth nothing!” ******* Three years ago, Elara Sanz-Alonso walked away from a billion-dollar legacy to marry for love. But when she discovers she is nothing more than a shadow of another woman in her husband’s eyes, her perfect world shatters. Betrayed and heartbroken, Elara makes a choice that will shake the nation’s elite—she reclaims her place as heir to the Alonso dynasty, but the price of her return is an arranged marriage to the one man she once ran from: Killian Dreven, the Ice Monarch. They meet again and Elara sets firm boundaries, but what happens when the man who was rumored to be ruthless, starts to shower her with care and attention, so much that it scares her. Why is Killian keen on marrying her even though she ditched him in the past? What secret does he hold and why the hell does he treat her like she's the only person that matters? Will Killian break down her walls? Or will she end up breaking his?

Capítulo 1

Ch-1

Daryl Carter came home beaming, but I had already finished packing my suitcase.

He froze for a moment before asking, "Natalie, why are you packing?"

Without looking up, I replied calmly, "I'm staying at my dad's for a few days."

A flicker of surprise crossed Daryl's eyes before he pulled a crystal bracelet from his pocket and slipped it onto my wrist. Then, he wrapped an arm around me.

"I've been so busy with work lately that I even forgot when you finished your postpartum recovery. I'm sorry, honey."

"Yea."

My response was indifferent, and Daryl stared at me. When I didn't question him, his expression grew uneasy.

If this had been before, I would've pestered him for an explanation. I would've demanded answers until I was satisfied.

I had always thought that if the day ever came when I caught Daryl cheating, I would completely break down—I'd cry, scream, anything but stay this calm.

When I saw the plane tickets in Daryl’s wallet the other day, I was excited.

I thought maybe Daryl wasn't always so dense, that he actually knew how to make me feel appreciated sometimes. After all, having a baby wasn't easy.

He should care about me.

I had quietly waited in anticipation for his surprise, even making plans for Mirelia a day in advance.

But night fell, and he never came home.

The next day, just as the flight was supposed to have landed in Mirelia, I finally got a message from him.

[Last-minute business trip. We'll talk when I’m back.]

I finally understood—that trip was never meant for me.

He had completely forgotten that today wasn't just the end of my postpartum recovery. It was also our daughter, Jennifer Carter's one-month milestone.

I glanced at the Mirelia travel guide I had saved on my phone.

Now, it felt like nothing but a cruel joke.

Just then, my phone chimed with a ding—a new post on my social feed.

Daryl's first love had posted something.

Her location? Saint Vyron Cathedral in Mirelia.

The caption read: [Finally fulfilled our promise to kiss at Saint Vyron Cathedral. Thank you, God. After all this time, it’s still you.]

The photo showed the two of them holding hands and kissing.

I let out a cold laugh.

So in a man's heart, his first love was truly irreplaceable.

Just as I was recalling what had happened, Daryl wandered into the kitchen. He sniffed the air and frowned. "Did you eat spicy noodles again? How many times do I have to tell you? I hate that smell."

Ever since I learned Daryl didn't like the smell, I had practically given it up—along with my love for chili peppers and cilantro.

For years, I had been the one making compromises. But after seeing that photo, something inside me let go.

Why was I bending over backward for a man who didn't even love me?

At that moment, our baby started crying. I picked her up and turned toward the bedroom to nurse her.

But before I could leave, Daryl quickly stepped in front of me and blocked my way.

Elara’s POV The harsh vibration of Adrian's phone pierced through the deafening silence of the night, jolting me awake. A yawn escaped my lips as I glanced at the clock on the wall. It was 4:43 a.m. It was already time to wake him up to prepare for work while I went downstairs to make breakfast for him. He has a meeting to attend this morning, and I didn’t want him to be late or leave without eating. As I was preparing my mind to get out of bed, the phone buzzed again. I groaned, blinking groggily at the ceiling as I thought whether to get it or wake him up to get it by himself. But before I could decide, the phone stopped vibrating. “Thank God,” I mumbled, unwrapping the blanket that had tangled around me. Just then, as if the universe was testing my temper, the phone began buzzing again. This time it didn’t stop, it incessantly rang. “Who the hell could it be and what the hell does he want? Why would anyone decent be texting a married man at this time of the d

Elara’s POV “A…Adrian,” I mumbled in fear. He stood at the doorway, scanning the room before landing his eyes on me and the small mess I had already created in the room. His glare was as cold as ice. “What are you doing here…? Who gave you the permission to be here?!” he thundered, his sharp voice laced with anger. I stumbled back, my heart rattling in my chest as he stepped forward. His scowl only worsened with each inch he closed between us. “I… I…” My throat tightened. The words hung in my mouth, refusing to come out. “I asked you a question, Elara!” he barked, his deep voice echoing off the walls. “What are you doing here?” I opened my mouth again, but only air rushed out. I wanted to apologize, to beg him not to get angry, or even lie that I got here by mistake. But a glance at the messages in my memory snapped something in me. I instantly straightened my back and lifted my chin, staring straight into his eyes, no longer willing to cower as I responded“No,” I

ELARA’S POV “Arghhh!” I screamed and crumbled to the floor, the shards biting into my skin as I fell to my knees. I wept like my soul had splintered. How did I end up here? Why did I love a man who saw me as a placeholder? Three years of loyalty, and I meant nothing to him. I had loved him fiercely, blindly, and I had destroyed the most important relationship in my life to be with him….my grandfather’s. My Grandpa had warned me. He had begged me not to marry Adrian. As if he knew he was a douchebag. But I chose love. Or what I thought was love. I let everything go for Adrian, including the future I had been groomed for. I was supposed to take over my family’s empire. I was trained, raised, and prepared. But I threw it all away for a man who couldn’t even look me in the eyes and apologize. Maybe I should have known I never meant anything to him when he turned me down the first time. I remember clearly our first meeting. It was back when we were in university, Adrian wa

Elara’s POV The night was cold and chilly as I stood by the gates of my former home with two suitcases by my side. I pulled out my phone with steady fingers and dialed Grandpa’s number. His voice was already covered with sleep when he answered. “Grandpa… I’m ready,” I informed. “I’ll send the driver.” he simply said. Less than thirty minutes later, a black Prado pulled up in front of the estate. I quickly hopped in, trying not to spend more time here than I already have. When I arrived at my family mansion, the gate flung open before we even honked. Grandpa stood outside, still in his night robe, and under the porch light. “Welcome back home, child,” he greeted me, his arms wide open. I ran into them. Tears spilled from my eyes as I mumbled again, “I’m sorry, Grandpa. I’m so sorry…” He patted my back and pulled away slightly to look at me. “Don’t cry again, my child. You are home now, and that is all that matters. For honoring my wish, I will throw a lavish par

ELARA’S POV The man's grip on Adrian's wrist was firm. I could see Adrian wince in pain as he tried to pull away. "Who the hell are you?" Adrian snapped, trying to sound tough but failing miserably. The stranger didn't even look at Adrian. His eyes were on me, scanning my face like he was checking for injuries. "Are you hurt?" he asked. His voice was deep and calm, but there was something dangerous underneath. I shook my head, still processing what just happened. "I'm... I'm fine." "Good." He finally turned to Adrian, and I saw something cold flash in his eyes. "Now get lost before I make you." Adrian's face turned red. "You can't just…." "I can." The man's voice dropped lower. "And I will." For a moment, Adrian looked like he wanted to argue. But something about the stranger made him think twice. He looked between us, then straightened his jacket. "This isn't over, Elara," Adrian muttered before walking away. I watched him disappear into the crowd, my heart still racing. W

KILLIAN’S POVI watched Elara walk away, her dress flowing behind her like water. Interesting.Most women either threw themselves at me or cowered in fear. She did neither. She challenged me, questioned me, and even argued with me. When was the last time someone had the guts to do that?She was beautiful, that much was obvious. But it wasn't just her looks that caught my attention. It was the fire in her eyes when she got angry, the way she stood her ground even when she was clearly shaken.This was the woman who had turned down our marriage alliance six years ago. Back then, her grandfather had approached me with the proposal, but she had refused. Said she was in love with someone else.Any other woman would have killed for the chance to marry me. The money, the power, the status. But not Elara Revas. She chose love instead.How foolish. And how... refreshing.Now she was back, broken by that pathetic excuse of a man, but not defeated. I could see it in the way she carried herself to

ELARA’S POVI walked through the front door of the mansion, my heels clicking on the marble floor. The party felt like a lifetime ago, even though it had only been an hour."Well, well, well. Look who came back."I turned around and saw a familiar figure standing by the grand staircase. My heart leaped."Aunt Isadora!" I dropped my purse and rushed to her, wrapping my arms around her small frame.She hugged me back tightly, then pulled away to look at me properly."Stand still, let me see you," she said, holding my shoulders. Her sharp eyes scanned my face and body. "You've become so lean. Tell me, did that bastard maltreat you?"I sighed. "Aunt, can we not talk about him today?""Of course, darling." She took my hand and led me to the sitting area. "Come, sit with me."We settled on the velvet couch, and she poured two glasses of wine from the bottle on the coffee table."I heard you're remarrying," she said, handing me a glass. "Killian Dreven.""I guess I have to."Aunt Isadora fro

ELARA’S POVThe reception hall was beautiful, I had to admit. Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling, casting sparkles across the white and gold decorations. Everything was elegant and expensive, just like Killian preferred.But I wasn't here to admire his taste.I walked toward the dessert table, my crystal dress catching the light with every step. I could feel Killian's eyes on me from across the room where he was talking to some business associates.Perfect.I picked up a bunch of grapes from the fruit display and slowly walked to the chocolate fountain. The warm chocolate looked rich and tempting. I dipped one grape in, letting the chocolate coat it completely."Elara."I turned around to find Killian standing behind me, his gray eyes fixed on my face."Yes, husband?" I asked sweetly, taking a small bite of the chocolate-covered grape."Stop playing with your food. We have guests to greet."I dipped another grape in the chocolate, this time letting some of it drip down my finge

Killian's POVThe car pulled through the iron gates of my estate, and I watched Elara's face carefully. The moment she saw my mansion, her eyes went wide. Her mouth opened slightly, and I could see the shock and amazement she was trying to hide.Perfect."Impressive, isn't it?" I said, leaning back in my seat.She quickly closed her mouth and looked away. "It's... adequate."I almost laughed. She was using my own words against me."You know," I said casually, "I would have suggested doing our honeymoon at a luxury resort somewhere tropical. But my mansion has everything you need, so we're already on our honeymoon."She turned to glare at me. "In your dreams.""Is that an invitation?""No!" Her face flushed red. "This is a business marriage, Killian. In marriages like this, we get different bedrooms and no touching. How dare you talk about intimacy!"I moved closer to her face, close enough that I could smell her perfume again. "First of all," I said quietly, "no wife of mine will slee

ADRIAN’S POVI stared at the photo on my phone screen. Elara in a sparkling white dress, standing next to Killian Dreven at their wedding. The richest man in the country. The Ice Monarch himself.My hands were shaking with rage.She looked beautiful. Radiant. Happy in a way she had never looked with me. Not once in six years.I threw the phone against the wall as hard as I could. It shattered into pieces, the screen going black."Damn her!" I screamed at the empty apartment. "Damn her to hell!"I picked up a glass from the table and hurled it across the room. It crashed against the kitchen wall, sending pieces flying everywhere.Elara Sanz Alonso Revas. The Revas heiress.She had been right there. Living with me. Sleeping in my bed. And I had treated her like garbage.And I didn't even know who she really was.I sank into my chair, my head in my hands. The memories came flooding back, each one making me feel sicker than the last.Seven years ago, in university...I was the golden boy.
