I Own Twenty Percent of My Ex Husband’s Company Chapter 88 — The Unsent Letter
"Sometimes it helps to write things down that you're not ready to say out loud," she'd said. "Not for anyone else's benefit, just to give the thoughts somewhere concrete to exist, outside your own head, where you can actually look at them clearly."Dr. Patel had suggested the exercise weeks earlier, gently, without pressure, the way she offered most of her observations, letting Kael decide for himself whether the idea held any value.Kael sat with the suggestion for weeks. Then finally, on a quiet Saturday evening with nothing else demanding his attention, he pulled out a sheet of paper and began to write, slowly and uncertainly.Elara,I'm not going to send this. I want to be clear about that from the beginning, mostly for my own sake, because I think if I let myself believe this might actually reach you, I'll soften everything I'm about to write, and I don't want to soften any of it. I want to say it plainly, completely, the way I should have said it years ago when it might have act
I Own Twenty Percent of My Ex Husband’s Company Chapter 87 — Seeing Herself
Over several days, Elara noticed something was off with Priya. At first, it was little things: a delayed response to an email that would normally go out within the hour, and a calm demeanor during their usual morning strategy talk. The sharp, confident energy she usually brought to every conversation had dimmed.Elara found her alone in the office one evening after Tomas had gone home. She was staring at her laptop screen with an expression that showed she wasn't actually seeing whatever was displayed on it."Is everything alright?" Elara asked and settled into the chair across from Priya's desk.Priya looked up. A flicker of uncertainty crossed her face before she tried, and failed, to put her usual composed look back in place. "I'm fine," she said a little too quickly for her words to sound convincing."You've seemed distracted this week."Priya was quiet for a moment, and Elara waited patiently, giving her the space to decide whether she wanted to say more rather than pressing her
I Own Twenty Percent of My Ex Husband’s Company Chapter 86 — Fitness to Lead
Kael’s father called a board meeting for Thursday morning, and from the moment Kael entered the room, he could tell this was different from their usual quarterly review. Several senior members were already seated around the table, their serious expressions making it clear that this discussion had been forming for longer than Kael had realized."We need to discuss leadership stability," his father said, once everyone had settled, his tone serious. "More specifically, it seems these recent personal complications have compromised Kael's ability to lead this company through what remains a difficult and uncertain period.”Kael felt his stomach tighten, he understood l immediately what this meant. Months of accumulated visible distractions were finally being addressed formally."The Grant Wolcott situation, however unauthorized, still happened under circumstances connected to this family's ongoing tension with Vale Capital," one of the older board members said. "The gala photograph, however
I Own Twenty Percent of My Ex Husband’s Company Chapter 85 — The Correction
Kael saw the photograph the same morning as everyone else, Marissa forwarded it to him with a brief, professional note explaining the growing online speculation, and his stomach dropped as he saw it, he understood exactly how the image would read to anyone who hadn't been standing there in person to witness the genuine discomfort on his own face.He thought immediately of Elara seeing it. The timing would land exactly wrong, with no context to soften the impression the photograph had created.He called Wren first, understanding she'd already seen it, given how quickly this kind of thing moved through their shared social circles."I saw it," Wren confirmed, before he'd even fully explained why he was calling. "I figured you'd want to deal with it before it gets any worse.”"It's not what it looks like," Kael said. "Serena approached me, and put her hand on my arm right as a photographer walked past. I was caught off guard. Nothing is happening between us. There hasn't been anything hap
I Own Twenty Percent of My Ex Husband’s Company Chapter 84 — The Manufactured Moment
Serena had not planned to attend the gala. For weeks she had told herself that avoiding Sterling family events entirely was the healthiest, and most dignified, path forward. A clean break that would let her finally, fully move past the wreckage of the last several months.She went anyway, telling herself it was simply an obligation to the hospital foundation her own family had supported for years, that it had nothing to do with Kael at all.She found him near the bar within the first hour and watched from a discreet distance. There was a particular tension in his posture, and more than once, his gaze drifted toward the terrace window where Elara stood with Marcus Chen. She recognized the expression on his face immediately. After spending enough months studying his reactions, she knew exactly what that tightness around his eyes meant.Watching it, something in her hardened into a decision she had not fully planned. She moved toward it anyway. She approached him near the bar and waited
I Own Twenty Percent of My Ex Husband’s Company Chapter 83 — Jealousy Without a Right To It
The gala was one of the biggest annual events Kael’s family usually attended. It was a fundraiser for a children’s hospital his grandmother had helped establish decades ago. This year, he arrived alone, and the absence of a date beside him drew occasional curious glances from guests who remembered seeing him arrive with Serena on his arm in previous years.He saw Elara almost as soon as he entered. She stood near one of the tall windows overlooking the hotel’s garden terrace, deep in conversation with Marcus. Something tightened in his chest before he had even fully understood why.She looked relaxed in a way he hadn't seen from her in weeks, maybe longer, her posture easy, unguarded, something genuinely warm crossed her face as Marcus said something that made her laugh, a real laugh, nothing performed about it at all.Kael stood near the bar, a drink he hadn't asked for pressed into his hand by a passing server, he found himself unable to look away, watching the easy, comfortable dyn
