I Own Twenty Percent of My Ex Husband’s Company Chapter 144 — Earning the Circle
Over the following weeks, Elara noticed Kael was beginning to engage genuinely with the people who mattered most in her life, not through any grand, visible effort, but through consistent, respectful presence that gradually built its own quiet credibility.He continued helping Vale Capital solve its funding crisis. He kept his promises to introduce Elara to potential investors and personally assured his contacts that her firm was trustworthy and had strong potential. Through those introductions, they secured the replacement funding they needed. At no point did he suggest that his help meant Elara owed him anything. He seemed satisfied simply knowing that he had helped solve a serious problem.He also continued treating Priya and Tomas with the same respect he had shown them during the defense crisis. Whenever they worked together on business strategies, he listened carefully to their suggestions and considered their opinions. He never made them feel that their contributions mattered o
I Own Twenty Percent of My Ex Husband’s Company Chapter 143 — Stepping Back From the Deal
Kael heard about the crisis at Vale Capital from an unexpected source. During an unrelated conversation, a mutual industry contact mentioned that Elara’s company was having a difficult week. One of its major institutional investors had suddenly pulled out of negotiations for an important deal that Vale Capital had spent months preparing.“Apparently, the whole team has been working around the clock to salvage the deal,” the source said casually, unaware of how much this information meant to Kael. “From what I’ve heard, they’re under serious pressure to meet the deadline.”Kael absorbed the information carefully, understanding immediately how difficult the situation must be for Elara and her small, dedicated team.At that moment, he was also preparing to lead an important negotiation for Sterling Group. The proposed acquisition had attracted the interest of several board members because it was a high-profile deal. If successful, it would draw attention from across the industry and furt
I Own Twenty Percent of My Ex Husband’s Company Chapter 142 — Answering Through Action (Part 1)
Kael left Dr. Patel’s office that afternoon with a clear understanding of what he needed to do in the weeks and months ahead. He didn’t need one great act to prove himself or a perfect answer that he had rehearsed many times. What he needed was to keep showing through his actions, patiently and consistently, that he was changing. He would have to continue doing this for as long as necessary, without knowing when things might finally be resolved.He didn’t contact Elara that evening. He understood that the change he was working toward needed to show naturally in his everyday life, not through an announcement about his new determination.He returned to his usual work at Sterling Group. The company had fully stabilized after successfully defending itself against Harrington’s takeover attempt. Over the following weeks, Kael began paying closer attention to his daily decisions. He no longer asked himself whether a choice might eventually impress Elara or prove something to her. Instead, he
I Own Twenty Percent of My Ex Husband’s Company Chapter 141 — Refusing the Easy Answer
Kael brought up the entire conversation during his next therapy session. Days after speaking with Elara on the park bench, her question still troubled him.“She asked me something I couldn’t answer honestly,” he told Dr. Patel. She wanted to know if I would still want her if she had never become successful, if she had never built Vale Capital, and if she had remained the same person she was when we were married.”"What did you tell her?"“I told her the truth,” Kael replied. “I said I didn’t know. Watching her build something successful forced me to finally pay attention to her in ways I never did during our marriage. I can’t honestly say I would have faced my mistakes and worked on myself if I hadn’t seen how much she had achieved without me.”“How did she respond to that?”“I think she appreciated that I was honest with her, but I also understand that it leaves us somewhere genuinely uncertain. I could have offered her something more reassuring, some version of, 'Of course I would h
I Own Twenty Percent of My Ex Husband’s Company Chapter 140 — The Central Question
They continued sitting together on the bench as the afternoon breeze gently disturbed the pond’s surface. Their conversation had left a lot to think about, and Elara could no longer ignore the question that had been on her mind for weeks.“I need to ask you something,” she said, turning to look directly at him. “I think this question gets to the heart of everything we’ve been talking about these past few days.”“I’m listening,” Kael replied, giving her his full attention.Elara steadied herself; she understood the importance of what she was about to ask, a question that had been circling her mind since, long after their divorce, but she had never allowed herself to ask it so directly until now.“If I had never become successful,” she said slowly, choosing her words carefully, “if I had never built Vale Capital, if I had never proved that I could create something remarkable on my own, would you still want me?”She watched him closely, knowing that her question touched on something she
I Own Twenty Percent of My Ex Husband’s Company Chapter 139 — His Answer
They met again three days later, after Elara asked for time to think about their previous conversation. Kael agreed without hesitation. He understood that they didn’t have to rush to settle everything just because waiting and sitting with their feelings was uncomfortable.This time, they chose a quiet park near her office. Neither of them wanted a formal setting. Both seemed to understand, without clearly discussing it, that their next conversation required a different kind of space. "I've been thinking about something since our last conversation," Kael said after they sat down on a bench overlooking a small pond. “It’s a question you never asked me directly, but I think it’s been behind everything we’ve talked about.”"What question?" "Why I kept myself so distant throughout our entire marriage. I've spent months working through this in therapy, and I think I finally understand it clearly enough to actually answer it honestly."Elara turned to face him, listening closely.“I was a
