I Own Twenty Percent of My Ex Husband’s Company Chapter 153 — Serena's Epilogue Moment
Serena had been living in the small coastal city for almost four months. Even now, she sometimes found it strange to be in a place where nobody knew her name or anything about her past. For the first time in years, she could live without putting on the careful act she had maintained for most of her adult life.She had found a job at a medium-sized marketing firm. It wasn't prestigious, and it had no connection to the wealthy social circles she had once built her entire identity around. It was just an ordinary job that paid her bills and gave her days a sense of purpose, however small.Within her first month in the city, she had started therapy. The distance from her old life and the time she spent alone had gradually helped her see that she needed professional help to understand the patterns that had shaped her adult life. She needed to face the uncomfortable truth about why she had spent so many years believing that her worth depended on being chosen by someone else.“I keep coming b
I Own Twenty Percent of My Ex Husband’s Company Chapter 152 — Equal Footing
A few weeks into their renewed relationship, an opportunity came up for Sterling Group and Vale Capital to work together on a business venture. It was a mid-sized acquisition. Both companies had a stake in the deal, and its success depended on their ability to develop a strategy together.As Kael sat down for their first official joint strategy meeting, he understood how important this moment was. It was the first real test of whether the equal partnership they had carefully built in their personal relationship could also work in their professional lives.They met in a neutral conference room, each accompanied by their own team. Although the meeting was strictly about business, the fact that the two people leading the discussions were now in a relationship gave the occasion a different significance.“I think we should start with the main reason we're considering this acquisition,” Elara said, opening the meeting with the sharp, confident clarity Kael had come to respect. “What is our

They sat together for a long time that evening, quietly absorbing everything they had just acknowledged. Eventually, their conversation turned to something more practical: what they wanted to do next.“I think we should talk about what this will actually look like going forward,” Elara said. “Not just generally, but in specific terms.”"What do you mean?" “I mean we should be intentional about this,” Elara continued. “The last time we started a relationship, we never really talked about what either of us wanted. Our families made the decisions for us, arranging everything around business partnerships and family duties. We simply accepted the arrangement they had made without discussing what we truly wanted for ourselves.”She paused, fully aware of the importance of what she was suggesting.“I don’t want us to repeat the same pattern,” she said. “Not even in a different way. I don’t want us to enter this relationship by making assumptions or leaving things unsaid, the way we entered
I Own Twenty Percent of My Ex Husband’s Company Chapter 150 — Deserving to Hear It
Kael stepped back and finally invited her inside. Elara followed him into the quiet living room. This evening felt simple and ordinary. Unlike the important moments they had shared before, they were just two people sitting together, with no one watching them and no need to pretend to be anything they were not.They settled onto the couch and still maintained a careful distance between them. But something had changed. The earlier tension from their conversation at the doorway had eased, replaced by a quieter, more thoughtful mood.“I need some time to think about this,” Kael admitted, speaking honestly about how he felt. “What you just told me. I don't think I've fully processed how much it means yet.”“Take all the time you need,” Elara said gently. She understood how much she had shared with him and knew he needed space to process it rather than feel pressured to respond immediately.Kael sat silently for a long moment while Elara watched him. She could tell that he was thinking deep
I Own Twenty Percent of My Ex Husband’s Company Chapter 149 — Because She Chooses
She watched him absorb what she'd just told him, understanding that he needed a moment to fully process the weight of it, and she waited patiently, standing in his doorway as the evening settled quietly around them."I want to make sure you understand the difference clearly," she continued, her voice steady despite the importance of what she was saying. "I came back because I chose you. Not because I need you. There's a real difference, Kael, and it took leaving you, and building a separate life from you, to finally understand what that difference means.”She paused, letting the weight of that clarity settle fully before she continued.“During our marriage, I think I mistook the need for love,” she said. “I kept telling myself I loved you, but deep down, I was dependent on you. I needed you to notice me, to value me, and to make me feel important so I could believe I was worth something. That wasn’t real love, Kael. It was fear, hidden behind words that made it easier for me to accept
I Own Twenty Percent of My Ex Husband’s Company Chapter 148 — She Goes to Him
Over the next few days, Elara took time to think about her decision. She wanted to handle this moment with care and purpose rather than rush into it, but her decision remained clear and firm throughout.She thought carefully about how she wanted the conversation to happen. Every important moment between them had taken place under different circumstances. The summit ballroom with its crowd and public attention. The shareholder meeting with its formal atmosphere and serious business matters. Then there was the parking garage, where their intimacy happened accidentally, without either of them planning it.She wanted this moment to be different. Deliberately chosen, and entirely private, without any external circumstances influencing the moment or giving it meaning.Finally, on a quiet Thursday evening, she decided to go ahead. She knew that waiting any longer would only delay something she had already decided within herself. She drove to his townhouse instead of his office. She understo
