The morning sun was just beginning to rise, its soft golden light spilling through the thin curtains of the small apartment. Lily stretched lazily and rubbed her eyes, still half-asleep. Her mother, Clara, walk inside the room fixing her hair with one hand while trying to wake Lily properly with the other.

“Come on, sleepyhead,” Clara said with a smile. “You’ll be late for work.”

Lily yawned. “Five more minutes, Mom,” she mumbled, pulling the blanket over her head.

Before Clara could reply, there was a sudden knock at the door firm and clear. Both mother and daughter froze for a moment, exchanging puzzled looks. Hardly anyone visited them this early in the morning.

Clara walked to the door cautiously and peeped through the small hole, but before she could open it, Lily was already on her feet. “I’ll get it!” she said eagerly, brushing her messy hair aside.

When she pulled the door open, her eyes widened in surprise. Standing there was Colton tall, confident, and smiling warmly. Behind

  • Longing For My Ex-Wife   The Turning Tide

    The press conference was supposed to last twenty minutes. It went on for almost an hour.Every major media outlet was there cameras flashing, microphones lined up on the table in front of Mr. Denovan, Colton, and Maya. Behind them hung the Denovan family crest, glowing softly under the lights. The atmosphere was tense but dignified.Mr. Denovan adjusted his tie, his expression calm yet firm. “We are deeply saddened by the recent tragedy,” he began, his voice steady. “But we will not remain silent while lies destroy innocent lives. The Denovan family had no hand in what happened to the late Miss Tyler. Her passing is a tragedy, but vengeance and false accusations will not bring her back.”The reporters scribbled furiously, the clicking of their pens echoing in the room. Maya sat quietly beside him, her hands clasped on the table. Her heart raced, but she forced herself to stay composed. Elias had told her to hold her head high and she was determined to do exactly that.Colton stepped i

    The storm didn’t fade it grew teeth.Within forty-eight hours of Harold Tyler’s outburst, his grief had transformed into strategy. His business empire stretched across industries construction, media, luxury imports and one by one, his allies began to fall in line behind him.By Monday morning, Maya’s phone was flooded but this time, not with hateful messages. It was worse.April burst into her office, her face pale. “Ma’am,” she said breathlessly, “three of our clients just called. They’re canceling their orders. They said it’s… because of the Tyler situation.”Maya froze, the words sinking like stones in her chest. “What?”“They said they can’t risk their brand image right now,” April continued nervously. “One of them even said Mr. Tyler personally called to ‘advise’ them to cut ties.”Maya closed her eyes, steadying herself. “Alright. Thank you, April. Let me handle this.”When April left, Maya sat at her desk, her hand trembling slightly as she reached for her phone. She called Eli

    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

    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!

  • 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

  • Longing For My Ex-Wife   A Daughter’s Rage

    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
