Kael stood outside Vale Capital’s office building on the fourth day. He had finally accepted that phone calls were not going to work. Whatever explanation he owed her needed to happen in person, whether she was ready to hear it or not.

He had already learned, through Priya, whom he had contacted directly, even knowing it might overstep some boundary, that Elara had heard about Serena’s confession from someone, through industry gossip rather than from him.

The realization had settled heavily in

  • I Own Twenty Percent of My Ex Husband’s Company   Chapter 137 — The Full Weight

    Elara fell silent for a moment after speaking for nearly an hour. Her voice had grown a little hoarse from finally expressing the feelings she had kept hidden for so many years."There's more," she said quietly; she knew she still had something deeper to share. "Things I've never fully admitted to anyone, not even Daniel, who knows more about what I went through during those years than almost anyone else in my life today.”“Take all the time you need,” Kael replied. His voice was patient, even though everything he had heard so far was clearly difficult for him to absorb.Elara took a moment to steady herself. She knew that what she was about to share required her to be even more honest than she had been so far."I used to lie awake at night," she said, "counting the exact ways I'd made myself shrink that day. It wasn’t anything dramatic or obvious, nothing you would have noticed. Little compromises, opinions I'd swallowed rather than let out, interests I'd quietly abandoned because sh

  • I Own Twenty Percent of My Ex Husband’s Company   Chapter 136 — Everything Unsaid

    She arrived at his office that evening, after regular business hours. The building was mostly quiet, giving them the privacy they needed to talk.Kael met her at the door, looking cautious and attentive. “Thank you for coming.”“There’s something you need to understand before I start,” Elara said as she sat in the chair opposite his desk. She had sat in that same chair many times over the past few months while they worked together. “This won’t be easy for either of us. I’m going to tell you things I’ve kept to myself for years, and I’m not going to hide how much they hurt me.”"I understand," Kael said. "I'm ready to listen."Elara took a deep breath, reminding herself that she didn’t need to plan every word or decide what to say first. She only needed to begin.“You forgot my birthday in our second year of marriage,” she said. “You said you had a work emergency, but that was a lie. You were having dinner with Serena, while I spent the entire evening alone. I kept telling myself it wa

  • I Own Twenty Percent of My Ex Husband’s Company   Chapter 135 — The Decision to Be Honest

    In the days after visiting their old house, Elara felt increasingly restless. She slowly began to realize that something was still bothering her, something she couldn’t fully understand or resolve by thinking about it alone.She had examined every version of Kael she had known. She had weighed the genuine changes she had seen in him against the many ways he had failed her in the past. She had also honestly faced her doubts about whether she could ever trust him enough to open her heart to him again without being afraid that he would hurt her.But one evening, as she sat alone in her apartment, she finally realized that she had been approaching this entire question incompletely.During their five years of marriage, she had spent too much time holding back her true feelings. She had softened her words to avoid upsetting Kael, kept her frustrations to herself, and ignored her own hurt rather than risk the difficult conversations that honesty might require. In the end, she had walked away

  • I Own Twenty Percent of My Ex Husband’s Company   Chapter 134 — Goodbye to the House

    Camille mentioned briefly to Elara that the house was finally being sold. Kael had apparently decided months ago that keeping a property filled with so many painful memories no longer made sense.To her surprise, she asked Camille for the real estate agent's contact details. She didn’t fully understand why she wanted to return to the house until she had already sent an email requesting one final visit before the property officially changed owners.The agent only knew that Elara had some previous connection to the house, so she agreed without hesitation. She arranged a quiet afternoon during the week when no other viewings were planned, giving Elara the privacy she hadn’t asked for directly but needed.When Elara got there, she stood outside the house for a long moment before entering, studying its familiar appearance. She looked at the neatly maintained garden. Somehow, the entire house seemed smaller than she remembered. She knew this was probably because she had changed and grown as

  • I Own Twenty Percent of My Ex Husband’s Company   Chapter 133 — Every Version of Him

    Elara spent a quiet Saturday at home, setting aside the day to think instead of work. She knew she needed to look honestly at the full history of her relationship with Kael and consider how he had changed over the years before she could trust whatever decision she eventually made.She started at the beginning, remembering the young man she had met at their first formal family dinner, years before their wedding. He had been polite and composed, but he had also kept his distance. At that time, she had mistaken his behavior for nervousness about their arranged introduction.Then she thought about him as her arranged husband. She remembered their conversation in the garden before the wedding, when he had carefully explained that he could offer her respect but not love. She remembered how coldly he had stated those terms, as though he were kindly preparing her for what she could and could not expect from their marriage.Back then, she had been young and hopeful. Despite his honesty, she ha

  • I Own Twenty Percent of My Ex Husband’s Company   Chapter 132 — No More Pressure

    Elara drove home from the café in an unusual silence, slowly absorbing what Marcus had said. His words affected her more deeply than she had expected.When she got to her apartment, she sat down on the couch. For the first time in longer than she could remember, she realized that no one was actually waiting on her for an answer.Marcus had let her go completely without resentment or bitterness, asking only that she take the time to understand her own feelings honestly. Kael had offered her the same freedom weeks earlier. His thoughtful note had made it clear that she didn’t owe him a deadline, an explanation, or a decision before she was truly ready.As she sat there, she tried to get used to this unfamiliar sense of freedom. She realized that for the past several months, perhaps even longer, she had been carrying a kind of pressure she had never fully acknowledged, even to herself. She had felt that sooner or later, she owed someone a decision, and that remaining uncertain was someho
