Maya sat still on the edge of the couch, her hands clenched tightly in her lap. Her knuckles had turned pale, and her heart pounded so loudly in her chest she wondered if the entire house could hear it. The wait felt endless. She stared at the polished floor, the soft ticking of a nearby clock the only sound in the room.

Her mind raced with worries. She tried to imagine how the conversation with Anika had gone. Had she been scared? Confused? Angry? Did she hate Maya now? Did she believe she had been abandoned?

The door down the hall opened at last, and Maya quickly stood up.

Mr. and Mrs. Denovan stepped into the sitting room. Their faces were gentle, but there was something unreadable in their expressions. Maya searched their eyes for any sign of hope. Any indication that the little girl upstairs—the one she had carried in her belly, the one she had dreamed of for years—might be ready to see her.

But as they walked in slowly and sat down across from her, Maya’s heart sank.

  • Longing For My Ex-Wife   A Battle of Pride

    The polished glass doors of the grand boardroom swung open as Grandma Carter stepped in, her heels clicking against the marble with a rhythm of authority. Behind her, her assistant followed quickly, carrying her leather bag with both hands as though it contained treasure.Every head turned. The long conference table was already filled chairmen in crisp suits, CEOs with folders stacked neatly before them, and at the far end, Mr. Tyler, the group president, sat with his usual stiff dignity.“Madam Carter,” several voices greeted in unison.She gave a faint smile, lifting her chin. “Gentlemen.”No one dared to comment on her lateness. It was already an unspoken rule: she could arrive when she wished. Wealth wasn’t the only thing she carried; it was influence, respect, and a sharp tongue capable of cutting anyone who tried to challenge her.Her assistant carefully set her bag by her seat, and Grandma Carter dismissed him with a flick of her hand. She lowered herself into the chair, her ga

  • Longing For My Ex-Wife   Whispers at the Dinner Table

    Isabella pushed open the door to their modest home, letting the familiar scent of simmering stew and garlic wash over her. Her shoulders sagged with relief…it had been a long day at the company, balancing schedules, arranging files, and, of course, trying not to notice whenever her boss, Colton Denovan, glanced her way.Almost as soon as she stepped in, the clatter of utensils came from the kitchen. Their mother was setting the table, carefully spooning rice into bowls. At that same moment, the front door banged behind her, and Lily bounded in, her school bag barely hanging onto one arm.“Food! Finally!” Lily cried, dropping her bag in the hallway and running to the dining table.“Not so fast, young lady,” their mother scolded. “You’ve been running about all day in that uniform. Go and bathe before you sit here.”Lily groaned dramatically, already pulling a chair out. “Just one bite, Mama. I swear I’ll go after that.”“Not even one grain of rice,” her mother said firmly, shooing her a

  • 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
