The morning was bright and clear.

Inside the Carter estate, Grandma Carter was already awake.

She walked slowly but firmly, her cane tapping on the shiny marble floor.

Behind her, the staff hurried. They cleaned. They dusted. They arranged the great hall.

Everything had to be ready for the meeting.

“Make sure the tables shine,” she instructed one maid.

“Move those flowers a little to the left,” she told another.

The maids and butlers nodded quickly and obeyed every word.

She wanted everything perfect. The Denovan family was coming, and this was not just any visit. They were the richest family in the city, the kind of people others bowed to. Yet today, they would sit in her home, drink her tea, and talk business.

Grandma Carter smiled faintly to herself. She always believed she was the sharpest mind in the room, but even she knew this meeting was important.

Minutes later, the long table in the great hall was covered with a fine white cloth. Silver trays gleamed, and fresh flowers fill

  • Longing For My Ex-Wife   Caught

    Maya’s lips still burned from Elias’s kiss, her body pressed against his, her heart racing so hard she thought it might break her ribs. For that moment, the world outside had vanished. His hands on her face, the taste of his breath, the low voice confessing how much he missed her it was everything she had wanted and feared all at once.She had whispered back, her voice shaky, “Me too…”But before she could sink deeper into him, the door burst open.“Maya?”The voice cracked like thunder.Colton stood at the doorway, his eyes wide at first, then narrowing into fire. He froze only for a heartbeat, long enough to take in the sight of Elias’s hand on Maya’s waist, their faces still close, her flushed lips giving away what had just happened.The silence that followed was heavy, almost unbearable.Colton stepped inside, his jaw tightening until his teeth ground together. “What,” he said slowly, his voice thick with rage, “is going on here?”Maya gasped and pulled back, though Elias didn’t r

  • Longing For My Ex-Wife   Longing Hearts

    Elias drove in silence, his hands gripping the steering wheel tighter than usual. The city lights blurred past the windows, but his mind was elsewhere. His grandmother’s words still echoed inside his head, sharp and heavy like chains.“Elias will marry the Denovans’ daughter… Elias will not waste his life with someone beneath us.”The words made his jaw clench. It was delusional. His grandmother thought she could control everything and everyone. She thought she could decide who he loved, who he would marry, what kind of life he would live. She had no idea the “Denovan daughter” she wanted to tie him to was already the woman he loved with his whole being.His chest tightened as he exhaled slowly. He did not know how much longer he could keep his anger contained.Just then, his phone lit up on the console. The name across the screen made his heart soften at once. Maya.He pressed the call button quickly. “Maya,” he said, his voice already gentler.“Elias,” her voice came softly, almost

  • Longing For My Ex-Wife   Hidden Truth

    The hall of the Carter estate was quiet. Heavy curtains were drawn back, and the morning light fell across the polished floor. At the center of the room sat Grandma Carter, upright and sharp, her cane resting beside her chair. Elias entered slowly, his face calm but guarded. He knew his grandmother had called for him early, and he doubted it was only for family talk. Whenever she summoned him this way, something was brewing.“Sit,” Grandma Carter said. Her voice carried both authority and coldness.Elias obeyed, lowering himself into the chair opposite her. He clasped his hands together and waited.For a moment, there was silence. Only the ticking of the clock on the far wall could be heard. Then she spoke.“I have thought long enough about your engagement,” she said. “The Tyler family is beneath us. Their daughter, Rebecca, will not give this family the strength we need. That arrangement is over.”Elias did not flinch, though his heart skipped. “You mean to end the engagement?”“Yes

  • Longing For My Ex-Wife   A Dream Made Real

    Maya’s eyes were still wet with tears as they stepped through the tall glass doors of the new building. Her parents walked closely beside her, each holding one of her arms as though afraid she might stumble. She tried to wipe her face quickly, embarrassed to be crying so much, but the tears only kept coming.The marble floors gleamed as though they were polished just for her. Sunlight reflected off the glass walls, scattering soft patterns across the space.Mr. Denovan paused, looking at her with calm eyes. His deep voice carried in the silence.“They have not finished yet, Maya. But soon they will. And when it is done, This will be your home of work, your creation, your dream.”Maya pressed her lips together as her chest tightened. She nodded quickly, though her tears ran faster.“Dad… I don’t know what to say.”He placed his large hand gently on her shoulder.“You do not need to say anything. Just look.”They began to walk deeper into the building.The first floor opened wide like a

  • Longing For My Ex-Wife   The Big Surprise

    Two Weeks later The morning at the Denovan estate was calm. Maya sat in the living room with a book in her hand, though she was not really reading. Her mind was filled with thoughts. She had not been here long, yet every day felt like something new was happening.Just as she was lost in her thoughts, Mrs Denovan came down the stairs, her eyes bright with a smile. “Maya,” she said gently, “go and prepare yourself. We are going out as a family today.”Maya looked up, a little surprised. “Out? Where are we going?”Her mother only gave a soft smile. “It is a surprise. Just wear something nice, comfortable, and beautiful. We want this to be a day you will remember.”Curiosity sparked in Maya’s chest. She nodded quickly, stood up, and went to her room.She opened her wardrobe and looked at the clothes. After a short pause, she chose a pale blue dress and a light cardigan. She tied her hair into a braid and put on small earrings.When she came downstairs, her father, mother, and Colton were

  • Longing For My Ex-Wife   A New Plan

    The Carter estate was quiet, but Grandma Carter was not resting. She sat in her wide chair near the tall window, her cane resting against her knee. The night outside was calm, yet her thoughts were far from peaceful.Ever since the meeting with the Denovans, her mind had been turning without pause. She replayed every word, every pause, every careful smile on Mr and Mrs Denovan’s faces. They had been polite, gracious, but also guarded. She had seen it clearly in the way they spoke. They were hiding something.And then came the small slip. They had a daughter.A hidden daughter.Grandma Carter tapped her cane lightly against the floor, her sharp eyes narrowing. “Why would they hide her?” she whispered to herself. “Why would they not show her to the world? Unless…”She knew the Denovans were powerful, one of the most respected families in the country. Their name carried weight in business, in society, even in politics. If they had found their daughter, then soon enough she would be prese
