The sewing machine whirred softly in the corner of the boutique. Maya stood by the fitting table, carefully trimming the edge of a sleeve she had just finished stitching. Fabric rolls lined the shelves, threads of every color hung neatly in place, and the warm scent of fresh coffee filled the air from the cup sitting nearby.

Her hands moved with practiced ease, but her mind wandered. After everything that had happened—the banquet, the stares, the whispers—she still found peace in this space. It was her sanctuary, a place where every stitch calmed her heart and every design reminded her that she had something to offer the world.

Business had slowly picked up since the party. A few wealthy guests had quietly reached out, wanting dresses like the one Elias’s grandmother had worn. Maya didn’t expect it, but it made her smile. She hadn’t asked for recognition, but it felt good to be noticed for her talent—for her hard work.

She was finishing a sketch when the bell above the boutique door j

  • Longing For My Ex-Wife   The Cruel Words

    After the dinner plates were cleared away, the atmosphere in the Carter family’s dining room shifted. The rich scent of roasted meat and fine wine faded, replaced by the faint perfume of polished wood and the lingering chatter of relatives. The maids moved swiftly and quietly, collecting dishes, glasses, and silverware before disappearing toward the kitchen.Elias rose first and offered his hand to Maya, guiding her out of the dining room. They followed the rest of the family into the expansive family living room—a space almost too grand to feel warm. The tall windows framed the garden outside, the velvet curtains pulled halfway back, allowing the moonlight to filter in. Gold-framed portraits lined the walls, most of them showing stern-faced Carters from generations past.The family members settled into their favorite seats, some reclining lazily, others crossing their legs with the practiced elegance of people born into wealth. The leather sofas gleamed under the soft light of the cr

  • Longing For My Ex-Wife   Shocked

    The moment they stepped inside the Carter villa, Maya’s eyes scanned the vast hallway. The warm, golden lights above reflected off polished marble floors, and the faint aroma of roasted meat and fresh bread drifted through the air. She could hear low voices and occasional laughter coming from somewhere deeper inside.Elias gently guided her forward with a hand at the small of her back, leading her past the grand staircase and toward the dining room. The double doors were already open, and from where she stood, Maya could see a long table set for dinner, with gleaming silverware and crystal glasses catching the light from the chandelier above.As soon as they stepped in, a small voice rang out with excitement.“Auntie Maya!”Before she could process the greeting, a little girl came running toward her. She was wearing a pale pink dress with a matching ribbon in her hair. Her tiny slippers barely made a sound against the floor as she launched herself forward.Maya instantly recognized he

  • Longing For My Ex-Wife   The night

    Maya stood in front of the full-length mirror, smoothing the soft folds of her dress one last time. The stylist had done her hair in loose, elegant waves that framed her face, and the subtle makeup brought out the warm tones of her eyes. She hardly recognized herself—not because she looked like someone else, but because she looked like the version of herself she had never allowed the world to see. Tonight, she wasn’t just Maya the fashion designer; she was Elias Carter’s girlfriend, walking into the heart of his family’s world.She had barely finished fastening her bracelet when her phone began to buzz on the dresser. She picked it up and saw his name flash across the screen.“Hello?” she said softly, her voice catching slightly.“I’m here,” Elias’s deep voice came through, smooth but warm. “At the estate gate.”For a moment, her stomach flipped. It wasn’t nerves from seeing him—it was the thought of what came next. Taking a slow breath, she crossed to the window and glanced out at t

  • Longing For My Ex-Wife   Styling

    The morning sunlight slipped gently through the curtains of Maya’s room, painting golden stripes across the soft cream walls. She opened her eyes slowly, still feeling the weight of sleep on her lashes. For a moment, she lay there, listening to the faint sounds of the estate waking up — the soft hum of a vacuum somewhere down the hall, the muffled voices of maids talking in the distance, and the faint clinking of dishes coming from the kitchen.Today was the day of Elias’s family dinner night.She wasn’t going yet — that would come later — but her mother had made it very clear the night before: Maya would be getting styled properly for the occasion. Whether she liked it or not.Maya sighed and rolled onto her back. She had tried to insist on going simple, maybe just doing her own hair and makeup. But her mother had looked at her as though she had just suggested wearing pajamas to a royal wedding. “Absolutely not,” Mrs. Denovan had said, her tone leaving no room for argument. “It’s y

  • Longing For My Ex-Wife   Whispers and Wheels

    The morning sun was bright as Maya stepped out of the Denovan estate, dressed smartly in a navy-blue dress and beige heels. A pair of maids had already helped load her handbag and lunch into the car.Her new car.A black Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon waited in the driveway, polished to perfection. It still felt surreal, even though she’d driven it twice already. The seats were smooth, the engine powerful, and everything about it screamed wealth and class.Maya took a deep breath before getting in. She adjusted the mirror, started the car, and pulled out of the estate gates with quiet confidence. She was going back to work—back to her old life—but everything was different now.As she neared her office building, her heart started to race.She parked the G-Wagon carefully in the company parking lot and noticed immediately how heads turned.A few of her co-workers walking past paused mid-step. Others peeked from windows upstairs.Maya got out of the car with a polite nod and a small smile, preten

  • Longing For My Ex-Wife   Day of Quiet Moments

    Maya woke up to the soft sound of birds singing just outside her window. The curtains were already pulled back slightly, letting in the warm morning sunlight. She sat up slowly in bed, feeling the gentle breeze from the open window brush against her skin.For a moment, she didn’t move. She just sat there, taking it all in.She slid out of bed and walked across the room barefoot. The marble floor was cold but smooth beneath her feet. Everything in her room still looked so new and beautiful—elegant furniture, soft curtains, fresh flowers in a vase. It felt like a dream, but one she was slowly getting used to.After washing up and changing into a soft cream dress, Maya stepped outside her room. The hallway was quiet, and the air smelled faintly of coffee and flowers. She followed the scent down the stairs and into the kitchen, where she found the chef and two maids already working.“Good morning, Miss Maya,” one of them greeted politely.“Good morning,” Maya replied with a small smile. “
