The moment Ethan’s voice reached her ears, Sephora was already on her feet.

“What happened?”

Her tone was sharp, cutting through the air and forcing Mira to look up from her notes.

On the line, Ethan sounded strained, his usual composure fractured.

“Chloe is missing.”

For a heartbeat, Sephora thought she had misheard him.

“What?”

“We can’t find her. She was playing with the other kids just minutes ago. Lily turned away for a second, and when she looked back, Chloe was gone.”

  • I owned her first : Chasing back my resurrected Ex Wife   Chapter 25

    Dominic did not speak when he entered the penthouse. The doors closed behind him with quiet finality, but the sound echoed louder in his head than it should have. The meeting with Sephora replayed in fragments: Sephora’s piercing eyes, her unwavering voice, the way she cut him down without hesitation. You abandoned me. You chose Chelsea. “If you push too far, you will lose everything you have worked for. Everything.” Each sentence carved deeper into his resolve. He loosened his tie as he walked further inside, barely noticing Chelsea waiting near the living room. Her posture was straight and rigid, her expression braced for confrontation. “Dominic,” she called softly. He did not answer. That silence made her tense. She stepped closer, heels clicking on the polished floor. “You’re back late. How did it go?” Still nothing. Her eyes narrowed. “Did she insult you?” Silence. “Did Lucian threaten you through her?” she pressed. Dominic stopped. Slowly, he turned

    The moment Ethan’s voice reached her ears, Sephora was already on her feet. “What happened?” Her tone was sharp, cutting through the air and forcing Mira to look up from her notes. On the line, Ethan sounded strained, his usual composure fractured. “Chloe is missing.” For a heartbeat, Sephora thought she had misheard him. “What?” “We can’t find her. She was playing with the other kids just minutes ago. Lily turned away for a second, and when she looked back, Chloe was gone.” The blood drained from Sephora’s face, leaving her skin pale and clammy. “How long?” “About fifteen minutes.” Fifteen minutes. Her fingers tightened around the phone until her knuckles whitened. “Have you called security?” “Yes.” “Checked the exits?” “Yes. Lily is searching one side of the venue. I’m covering the other.” For the first time in years, real fear seized her heart—not for herself, not the looming threats from Dominic or Chelsea, but pure terror for Chloe. “I’m comi

    Chelsea. Of all the visitors she might have imagined today, Chelsea never crossed her mind. Three years earlier, Chelsea had been the one Dominic picked instead of her. The woman who watched Sephora’s marriage fall apart without a word. The one who claimed everything Sephora once called hers. And now she stood outside the door. In her office. At Cole Industries. A faint smile curved Sephora’s lips. How intriguing. Mira shifted, clearly uncomfortable. “Should I turn her away?” Sephora leaned back in her leather chair. “No.” Her smile grew a touch sharper. “Send her in.” Mira hesitated, doubt clear on her face. “Ma’am—” “It’s okay.” The assistant paused, then nodded. “Yes, ma’am.” Moments later, the door swung open. Chelsea stepped inside wearing a bright, practiced smile an and an oddly extravagant outfit. “Sephora!” Her voice rang out confidently. “It’s been too long. Who would have thought I’d see you again after attending your own funeral.” Sephora observed h

    Dominic stood frozen for a moment after Sephora’s words landed. The silence between them felt heavier than anything she had actually said. It was not loud. It was not dramatic. That was what made it worse. She had already delivered the final blow. She had told him plainly that he would never have her back. Dominic straightened slowly, trying to regain control of his expression. His jaw tightened as he looked at her. “You think you can just speak to me like that?” he said quietly. Sephora did not react immediately. She looked at him as if he was something slightly inconvenient she had been forced to pause her day for. “You let me go once,” she said calmly. “Don’t act like I’m something you can retrieve.” That sentence hit harder than anything before it. Dominic’s eyes darkened. “I didn’t let you go,I had no choice. You know that” he said. Sephora tilted her head slightly. A faint, almost bored smile touched her lips. “Spare me the bullshit Dominic,” she repl

    The towel hit the floor. For one horrifying second, Sephora’s mind went completely blank. A sharp scream escaped her lips. “Ah!” Instinctively, she crouched down and grabbed the fallen towel, clutching it tightly against herself. Heat rushed into her face so quickly that even her ears burned. Lucian had already turned away without hesitation. His back was facing her completely. “Sorry,” he said calmly. Sephora stared at him in disbelief. Sorry? Somehow that made everything worse. Where the hell did he come from anyways. He always worked late on Mondays so why was he home so early. He was standing there like a perfect gentleman while she was the one panicking. “I… my bathroom wasn’t working,” she blurted out, immediately regretting it. Why was she explaining herself? Lucian remained facing the opposite direction. “I guessed so.” The answer somehow embarrassed her even more. Sephora tightened her grip on the towel. “Don’t turn around.” A slight s

    The call came just after lunch.Mira was reviewing Sephora’s schedule for the rest of the week when a notification flashed across her screen. One of the executive secretaries was requesting immediate clearance.That alone wasn’t unusual.What was unusual was the expression on the her face when Mira stepped into her office a few moments later.The young woman looked almost dazed.“Mira,” she said, lowering her voice. “You’re not going to believe this.”Mira raised an eyebrow.“What happened?”“It was President Dominic Ainsworth.”Mira frowned slightly.“What about him?”“He called.”“…And?”“He called himself.”That made Mira pause.“Personally?”The secretary nodded.Mira stared for a moment.People like Dominic Ainsworth didn’t make their own calls.People like him had entire departments dedicated to making calls for them.“Did he say what he wanted?”She swallowed.“He requested a meeting with Mrs. Cole.”Mira’s expression immediately became thoughtful.Of course.After everything
