His Beauty Her Beast Epilogue
Elena's POV5 months laterTime has this funny way of healing—slowly, silently, like a wound closing under sunlight.It’s been almost a year and a half since everything fell apart. Now, here I am—standing in a park, sunlight kissing my skin, laughter floating in the air, and the smell of grilled food and blooming grass surrounding us. Life feels… good. Real.Rowan and I didn’t rush this time. We made a promise to start over—to build what we’d destroyed piece by piece, without contracts, without conditions, without fear.We dated first. Like normal people. Coffee dates that turned into walks, walks that turned into late-night drives, and drives that turned into staying over and never wanting to leave.A week later, we made it official again. And now—our wedding is just two weeks away.I can’t believe it sometimes. How far we’ve come. How different it feels now—light, genuine, easy.We’re at our monthly family picnic today, something Rowan and I started after everything settled do
His Beauty Her Beast 104. You Were Mine
Elena's POVIt’s strange how time can move so slowly and yet steal an entire year from you.A year since Rowan.A year since the divorce papers.A year since I swore I would never look back.And yet—he was everywhere.Sometimes in the flowers that appeared outside my door. Sometimes in the books I found carefully wrapped with no name written on them, but his handwriting was unmistakable—sharp, deliberate, familiar. Sometimes I’d find small things only he would remember: my favourite perfume, a bar of dark chocolate with sea salt, a single lily on my windowsill.I told myself I didn’t care. I told myself I wouldn’t even open the boxes. But I always did.And every time I did, my chest ached like a wound that refused to close.I caught him watching me a few times—once outside a café, another time across the street from my apartment. I’d look up, and there he’d be. Not hiding. Just… there. His eyes on me, not pleading or angry—just quiet. As if protecting me from a distance.I tried to ig
His Beauty Her Beast 103. 6 Months & A Year
Rowan's POV6 months laterThe city outside the car window moved like a blur. I sat quietly in the back seat, my head resting against the glass as the driver manoeuvred through the New York traffic. I was on my way to a meeting, another meaningless one. I went through the motions every day—work, eat, sleep—but none of it felt real anymore.My mind wandered to her, like it always did.Elena.What was she doing now? Did she still hate me? Did she think of me at all?I shut my eyes and exhaled shakily. Maybe if I tried hard enough, I could forget the sound of her voice when she said goodbye. But fate, cruel as ever, had other plans.The car slowed down at a red light. And that’s when I saw her.She was standing on the opposite side of the street, holding a paper bag, her hair tied up, strands falling around her face in the same way I used to tuck behind her ear. My breath caught. For a second, I couldn’t move. Couldn’t even think.It was her.“Elena…” I whispered, almost afraid that sayi
His Beauty Her Beast 102. 2 Months Later
Rowan's POV2 months later“You look like hell,” Nina said the moment she stepped into my office, her hand resting on her round belly. Her voice carried that soft mix of amusement and concern she’d always had.I didn’t look up from my laptop. “I’m okay.”She sighed, loudly, like she didn’t believe a word of it. “You’ve been saying that for the last two months.”“And it’s been true for the last two months,” I muttered, scrolling through meaningless data on the screen that I wasn’t even processing. My eyes burnt from staring too long, my temples throbbed, and my hands were shaking slightly from too much caffeine and too little sleep.Nina walked closer, her heels clicking against the marble floor. “You’re not okay, Rowan. Look at you—you’ve lost weight, you’re living off coffee, and Adrian told me you’ve been sleeping in your office some nights.”I leaned back in my chair, exhaling sharply. “Adrian should mind his own business.”“He’s my husband,” she shot back. “He is minding his busin
His Beauty Her Beast 101. Divorce
Elena's POVI love him.I love him.I can’t believe I love him.The words echoed in my mind like a confession and a curse all at once. My heart still ached from everything that had happened — the lies, the fights, the silence — but under all of it, I knew the truth now. I loved Rowan Blackwood. Deeply. Irrevocably. Painfully.And I needed to show him that.So I wiped my tears, took a deep breath, and decided to do something—something that might remind him that what we had was real.The afternoon sun was sharp against my face as I rushed through the city streets, clutching my bag tightly. I walked into the luxury boutique where I’d once seen Rowan glance at a particular display — sleek, timeless watches that suited his style perfectly. My gaze landed on one almost immediately: a silver chronograph with an engraved clasp. Elegant, powerful. Just like him.“I’ll take this one,” I told the woman behind the counter, my voice barely steady.As she wrapped the box, I tried to imagine his exp
His Beauty Her Beast 100. Father's Truth
Rowan's POVThe drive home was quiet — the kind of silence that wasn’t heavy anymore, just… full.Elena sat beside me, her hands folded in her lap, her eyes fixed on the view outside the window. The city lights reflected on her skin, softening the exhaustion on her face. I glanced at her every few seconds—just to make sure she was still there, that I hadn’t imagined her coming back to me.It was ridiculous how her presence could make the entire world feel balanced again.When we finally reached the mansion, she stepped out first, holding her bag against her chest. The air smelt faintly of rain, the stone path still slick from the drizzle earlier. I followed her in, watching as she hesitated at the doorway like she wasn’t sure she belonged anymore.Without thinking, I reached out and brushed my fingers against hers.She looked up at me.That small, uncertain smile — the one I’d missed — appeared on her lips, and just like that, the tension in my chest eased.“Home,” I murmured.She nod
