The studio buzzed with quiet energy that morning. The soft hum of sewing machines blended with the rustle of fabrics as Maya moved gracefully between tables, her hands trailing across lace and satin. April stood nearby with a clipboard, listing the last-minute adjustments for their upcoming client presentation,Lily carefully arranged sketches on the display board, Maya moved around the room, adjusting a few gowns on the mannequins.

“Make sure the neckline on this one is adjusted by half an inch,” Maya said, pointing gently at a flowing dress. “It needs to fall naturally when she moves.”

Lily nodded eagerly. “Got it! I’ll fix that right away.”

April, who was nearby taking notes, smiled. “You’re really glowing today, Ma. Is it because of your fiancé?” she teased lightly.

Maya laughed, shaking her head. “I think it’s because we finally finished the hardest order this week. That’s worth glowing for.”

Lily giggled, exchanging a playful glance with April. The mood in the room felt bright an

  • Longing For My Ex-Wife   The Fallout

    The morning after Rebecca’s death, the city woke to chaos.Every news channel replayed the same footage Harold Tyler standing outside his mansion, his face pale with grief and rage. Cameras flashed as he spoke, his voice trembling but sharp.“My daughter is dead because of them,” he declared, his hand shaking as he pointed toward the cameras. “Because of the Denovan family and Elias Carter…the man who broke her heart and humiliated her before the entire world.”The reporters pressed closer, microphones raised, eager for more.“They ruined her,” Harold continued, his wife sobbing silently behind him. “If justice won’t punish them, I will. This isn’t over.”By the time he turned away, his words had already spread across every major network and gossip site.#JusticeForRebecca began trending within the hour.Some people posted her photos with crying emojis, calling her a victim of heartbreak and pressure. Others defended Maya and Elias, reminding the public that no one forced Rebecca to m

  • Longing For My Ex-Wife    Father’s Wrath

    The Tyler mansion, once filled with music, laughter, and elegance, now sat in suffocating silence. The white marble floors gleamed under the dim lights, but the beauty of the house could no longer hide the darkness that had settled within.Rebecca’s photograph stood at the center of the grand living room, surrounded by fresh lilies and flickering candles. Her parents sat across from it broken, speechless, and hollow.Mrs. Tyler wept uncontrollably, clutching one of Rebecca’s scarves to her chest. “She was just a child,” she whispered through sobs. “My baby… she didn’t deserve this.”Her husband, Harold Tyler, stood by the window, staring out at the gray morning sky. His jaw was tight, his eyes bloodshot from sleeplessness. But unlike his wife’s despair, his pain had hardened into anger.“She didn’t die by accident,” he said coldly. “Someone pushed her to this.”Mrs. Tyler looked up at him, trembling. “Harold, please… not now.”He turned sharply. “Don’t tell me to calm down! Our daught

  • Longing For My Ex-Wife   The Crash

    Rebecca stormed out of the house like a hurricane, her heels slamming against the marble tiles with sharp, echoing clicks. Her mother’s voice chased after her down the grand hallway..cold, sharp, and unrelenting.“Rebecca! You’re not leaving this house like that!”But Rebecca didn’t stop. She didn’t even look back.The words still rang in her ears—“Forget about Elias. I won’t let you destroy this family for a man who doesn’t want you.”Her mother’s voice had always been the loudest in every room, the one that decided what was right, what was wrong, what was worth it. But not today. Not anymore.Rebecca’s heart was pounding violently as she grabbed her car keys from the console beside the door. Her fingers trembled, but her anger steadied her resolve.“I’ll show you,” she muttered under her breath. “I’ll show you who’s worthless.”Outside, the late afternoon sky hung heavy with thick clouds. The wind picked up as she stepped out into the driveway, her hair whipping across her face. The

    Rebecca pushed open the door to her mother’s room without knocking. The sharp scent of nail polish filled the air, and Mrs. Tyler sat comfortably by the window, painting her nails a soft pink shade. Sunlight streamed through the half drawn curtains, glinting off her diamond bracelet.Rebecca stood at the door for a moment, her jaw tight. “Of course,” she muttered bitterly. “I should’ve known this is what you’re best at sitting pretty while everyone else deals with the mess you helped create.”Mrs. Tyler didn’t even look up. “Watch your tone, Rebecca. You’re in my house, not one of those tabloids you embarrass us in.”Rebecca folded her arms, glaring. “Your house? The one Father paid for? Don’t act like you built this family. You’ve done nothing but hide behind his money and pretend everything’s fine.”That made Mrs. Tyler finally set her nail polish down. Her gaze hardened. “And you’ve done what exactly? Lost every ounce of dignity this family had left. I warned you…Elias Denovan is n

  • Longing For My Ex-Wife   The Warning

    Maya was just finishing a meeting with one of her suppliers when her phone started ringing. She glanced at the screen and froze for a second — Daniel. A frown creased her forehead. He had been quiet since the last time they saw each other, and part of her had hoped that silence would last.Still, something in her heart made her answer. “Daniel?” she said cautiously.“Maya,” his voice came through, warm and almost pleading. “I didn’t mean to disturb you. I just… needed to hear your voice.”Maya exhaled quietly. “Daniel, I told you it’s better if we keep things professional. You can always call if it’s about Jamie, but anything else—”He interrupted her quickly, his tone shifting to something softer, almost desperate. “It’s not about Jamie this time. I was wondering if we could have dinner. Just to talk. No pressure.”Maya froze. “Dinner?” she repeated slowly. “Daniel, that’s not appropriate. You know that.”“I just want to talk,” he insisted. “Please, Maya. You’ve been part of my life

    Daniel stepped out of the bathroom, steam curling around his shoulders as he wiped his face with a towel. The house was quiet..too quiet until the sharp click of heels echoed from the doorway. Lena stood there, dressed sharply in a crimson blouse and fitted skirt, her expression unreadable but her eyes glinting with venom.She didn’t even glance at him as she grabbed her car keys from the dresser. “Don’t bother saying anything,” she muttered coldly. “I’m just here to get my things.”Daniel exhaled, setting the towel aside. “You don’t need to come back for anything else,” he said firmly. “The divorce papers will be ready soon.”Lena froze. For a second, her lips twitched into a mock smile, but her tone dripped with scorn. “So it’s finally happening,” she said slowly. “You’re throwing me away for her, aren’t you?”Daniel frowned. “This isn’t about Maya. It’s about what you became.”“What I became?” Lena let out a bitter laugh. “You mean what you turned me into! The perfect, loyal wife y
