Daniel stepped into the house, shutting the door a little too hard behind him. He tossed his keys on the console and let out a sigh. The lights were on, but the place felt off—too quiet for a home that was supposed to be filled with warmth.

His shoes echoed through the hall as he walked into the living room. Jamie was there, sitting stiffly on the couch, still in his school uniform, backpack on his back, shoes muddy from the day.

“Jamie?” Daniel frowned, walking over. “What are you doing here like this? Where’s Lena?”

The little boy looked up slowly. His face was pale, his eyes red and glassy like he’d been holding back tears for hours.

“My teacher brought me home,” he said in a small voice.

Daniel’s brow furrowed. “What do you mean your teacher brought you? Didn’t Lena pick you up?”

Jamie shook his head. “No one came. Everyone else left already. My teacher waited with me for a long time.”

Daniel rubbed a hand over his jaw, already annoyed. He pulled out his phone and called Len

  • Longing For My Ex-Wife   The Salon Encounter

    Maya leaned back in her office chair, tapping her pen against the polished desk. For once, her schedule was light. No clients pressing in, no endless phone calls. A rare luxury. The announcement party loomed ahead, and she wanted a little time to herself before the chaos swept her up completely.She picked up her phone and called her assistant. “I’m rounding up for today. Handle everything that comes in. I trust you.”“Yes, Ma’am,” her assistant replied eagerly.Maya gathered her purse and slipped on her sunglasses. As she walked through the corridor, her staff greeted her warmly, bowing slightly as she passed. Maya returned polite smiles. She was still getting used to this respect the way her name carried weight now but she carried herself with calm dignity.Her car gleamed under the sun as the valet brought it forward. Sliding into the driver’s seat, Maya started the engine and exhaled softly. Today wasn’t for boardrooms or apprentices. Today was for her.She headed toward a nearby

  • Longing For My Ex-Wife   Whispers in the Halls

    Colton sat behind his desk, loosening his tie after the long meeting. His office smelled faintly of coffee and paper, the kind of scent that followed endless hours of work. He rubbed his forehead and leaned back in his chair. The meeting had been productive but exhausting, and the silence of his office felt like a welcome reprieve.Just as he reached for a file, his phone buzzed. He frowned when he saw the caller ID his mother. He answered immediately.“Mother,” he greeted.“Colton,” came her cheerful tone. “How are you, dear? Busy as always, I imagine.”Colton pinched the bridge of his nose. “Meetings all morning. I’m still alive, if that’s what you’re asking.”“Awww,” Mrs. Denovan’s warm voice filled his ear, though there was an edge of excitement in it. “I trust your meeting went well?”“As well as meetings can go,” he replied dryly. “Why are you calling me at this hour?”There was a pause, then a chuckle. “Must I always have a reason to call my son? But since you ask… I wanted to

  • Longing For My Ex-Wife   An Old Friend, A New Spark

    For weeks, Lena had stayed hidden in her room. The walls felt safer than the world outside, even if they suffocated her. She had not stepped into her office, nor visited her usual haunts. Every sound, every shadow reminded her of whispers she imagined people would say behind her back.But that morning, something shifted. Perhaps it was the silence of the empty house or the hollow ache of loneliness, either way, Lena finally dressed and left her room.Her reflection in the hallway mirror startled her. The once-glossy waves of her hair were gone, cut bluntly into a bob. It was shorter on one side than the other, uneven from her rushed attempt to change her image. It didn’t matter. She told herself it was a fresh start.Descending the stairs, Lena’s heels clicked softly against the polished wood. The nanny, folding laundry nearby, immediately rushed forward.“Miss Lena, do you need anything?”Lena shook her head. “Where’s Jamie? And Daniel?”The nanny smiled kindly. “Mr. Daniel took Jami

  • Longing For My Ex-Wife   Secrets in Plain Sight

    The classroom buzzed with energy as Maya stood at the front, her gaze sweeping across the eager faces of her apprentices. The sun streamed through the wide studio windows, catching on the rows of sketchpads and fabric swatches spread across the tables.“Remember,” Maya said, pointing at the half-finished sketches pinned to the board, “fashion isn’t just about making something pretty. It’s about creating something that speaks. Every line, every stitch it should have a voice.”One of the younger apprentices, a nervous boy named Samuel, raised his hand. “Miss Maya, what if the voice doesn’t come? Sometimes I draw and it feels… empty.”Maya smiled gently. She remembered her own early struggles, when her designs had felt hollow compared to her ambition. “That’s normal. Inspiration doesn’t always shout it sometimes whispers. You just need to listen. Don’t force it, Samuel. Let it grow.”The apprentices nodded, scribbling her words in their notebooks. Another hand shot up this time it was C

  • Longing For My Ex-Wife   A Day of Simple Joys

    The buzz was everywhere.News blogs, gossip columns, and even morning television had caught hold of the whispers: The Denovans are preparing to announce their daughter to the public.For days, that single line stirred endless speculation. Social media was flooded with predictions, people argued over who she might be, how she had stayed hidden, and what this revelation would mean for the powerful family.Maya saw it all, but she refused to let it steal her peace. For so long she had lived quietly, walking the streets unnoticed, spending her time designing without the heavy weight of public attention. She knew once the announcement was made, her days of walking freely, grabbing snacks on the street, or sitting anonymously at a café would be gone forever.So she made a choice until then, she would live as simply as possible. She wanted to breathe in these moments, to treasure the ordinary things before they slipped away.Elias understood without her needing to explain. That morning, whe

  • Longing For My Ex-Wife   Coffee and Mischief

    The hum of keyboards and the faint shuffle of papers filled the outer office. Isabella sat at her desk, shoulders straight, head slightly bowed as she typed diligently. From his office next door, Colton Denovan glanced toward the connecting glass panel more than once. He told himself it was only natural, she was his new assistant, after all, and he needed to know if she was keeping up with the workload. Yet each time his eyes drifted toward her, he found himself watching longer than necessary. The way she bit her lip in concentration, the way her brows knitted when she studied the documents it was far too distracting.Finally, he leaned back in his chair, pressing two fingers against his temple. Get a grip, Colton.But instead of looking away, he pressed the intercom button. “Miss Flores, come in for a moment.”Isabella immediately straightened and walked into his office, a small notebook in hand. “Yes, sir?”He hesitated for a fraction of a second. “Coffee. I’d like some.”“Of cour
