The sound of hammers, drills, and shouting filled the air as the sun rose higher over the city. In the busiest part of downtown, a grand building was being reshaped.

Workers moved quickly across scaffolds, steel beams glinted in the light, and dust rose like smoke with every strike.

This was not just another project. This was the beginning of something greater a future that would soon bear the Denovan name.

Mr. Denovan walked across the site with his usual commanding presence. His sharp eyes swept over the workers, noting every detail. Beside him, Mrs. Denovan’s heels clicked against the newly polished tiles of the entrance, her face glowing with quiet pride.

Colton followed a step behind, his hands tucked in his pockets, his gaze fixed on the high glass windows that reflected the morning sun.

“This place will be magnificent,” Mrs. Denovan said, her voice warm. “Every corner should shine with elegance. Maya deserves nothing less.”

Colton nodded once, his jaw set with determination.

  • 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

    The Denovan family returned home later that evening. The ride back had been quiet. Each of them had their own thoughts about the meeting at the Carter estate. The air outside was soft with the colors of sunset, painting the sky in gold and pink. Inside the grand Denovan home, Maya was waiting for them. She had been sitting in the living room, her hands folded in her lap, trying to stay calm. When she heard the sound of the door opening, she quickly stood up. Mr and Mrs Denovan walked inside together. They both looked tired but steady, their expressions calm. Mrs Denovan carried her shawl draped over one arm, while her husband set his walking cane against the wall. Maya rushed forward. “You are back,” she said softly. Her voice trembled with relief. Her mother smiled faintly and kissed her cheek. “Yes, my dear. We are home.” Her father gave a short nod. “The meeting went well. Everything went as expected.” They all moved into the living room. Mrs Denovan sat on the sofa and patt

    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

    The Denovan estate was unusually quiet that morning. The sun spilled through the tall glass windows of the dining hall, but the warmth of the light could not chase away the heaviness in the air. Servants moved quietly, as if sensing something important was about to happen.Mr. Denovan sat at the head of the long table, sipping his black coffee. His expression was unreadable, but the small crease in his forehead gave him away he was deep in thought. Mrs. Denovan sat beside him, her teacup untouched. Maya and Colton entered soon after, followed by Anika, who climbed into her chair with the help of a maid.Breakfast began in silence. Silver spoons clinked lightly against china. Nobody spoke until the butler entered, holding a sealed envelope on a silver tray.“Sir,” the butler said with a bow, “a message was delivered early this morning. It is from Carter Holdings.”The name alone was enough to stir tension across the table. Maya’s fork froze midair. Colton narrowed his eyes. Mrs. Denova

Yet inside the dining room, the atmosphere was heavy.Maya sat with her parents and Colton at the table. She tried to eat quietly, but her hands kept trembling slightly on the silver fork. She knew they were all watching her.Mr. Denovan finally spoke, his voice calm but firm.“Maya, we need to talk about last night.”Her fork froze. She glanced at Colton, then at her mother. Both of them looked serious.Mrs. Denovan leaned forward, her eyes sharp.“We saw the fight between Elias and your brother. We saw how messy it became. Do you understand how dangerous this is? If you continue with Elias, it will not only hurt you but this entire family.”Maya’s chest tightened. She wanted to argue, but the words stuck in her throat.Colton crossed his arms. His voice was harder.“He doesn’t respect you, Maya. Did you see how quick
