MY FATHER-IN-LAW; MY RUIN TAKING CARE OF WHAT'S MINE
ELARA’S POVI sat at the head of the table, flanked by my father and Silas, watching the scene unfold like a beautiful, improbable dream."Try the smoked salmon, Elara," Rosa chirped, leaning across the table to heap a generous portion onto my plate. Her gold bracelets clattered against the china with a cheerful, domestic percussion. "It’s imported from the northern coast. Silas said it was your favorite, though how he knows these things, I’ll never guess."I glanced sideways at Silas. He was leaning back in his chair, a glass of amber liquid in his hand, looking more relaxed than I had ever seen him. He didn’t look like the man who had systematically dismantled his son’s inheritance an hour ago; he looked like a man who had finally brought his world into alignment. He caught my gaze and offered a microscopic nod, the corner of his mouth twitching upward."I have my sources, Rosa," he said, his voice a low, pleasant rumble."Well, your sources are impeccable," my father, Theron, bo
MY FATHER-IN-LAW; MY RUIN HAPPY BIRTHDAY
ELARA’S POV“Congrats on your freedom." He finally broke the silence and I just gave a curt nod."Everything is different now," I whispered, looking at my hands. They were clean of the ink, clean of the ring, but they felt strange.Silas didn't answer immediately. Instead, he stepped behind me. I tensed, my breath catching in my throat as I felt the sudden, radiating heat of his body pressing close to my back. Before I could ask what he was doing, his large, calloused hands moved upward, sliding over my temples until his palms rested firmly over my eyes.The world went black."Silas? What are you doing?" I asked, my voice trembling slightly. The darkness made my other senses flare—the scent of his cologne, the steady thrum of his heartbeat, the cool morning breeze against my neck."Calm down, Elara," he murmured, his voice a low, soothing vibration right against my ear. "Relax. Just trust me. Walk.""I can't see where I'm going," I protested, my pulse quickening."I have you, just…tr
MY FATHER-IN-LAW; MY RUIN DIVORCED AND FINALLY FREE
ELARA’S POVSeven days.It had been exactly one week since the rain had tried to swallow me whole, and one week since the oak doors of the Vane manor had closed behind Jax’s retreating, broken figure. Time in the manor felt different—slower, more deliberate, like the ticking of an antique clock that refused to be rushed. I had spent those days tucked away in the guest wing, like a ghost haunting the corridors of my own history.I was slowly moving on. Or at least, I was learning how to breathe without feeling like my lungs were full of glass.Elena had been my anchor. In the quiet hours of the morning, she would come to my room with a tray of tea and books she thought I’d like, sitting with me in a silence that didn't demand explanations. She had become like a second mother to me, her presence a cool balm on the raw, open wounds of my pride. Seeing her poise, her quiet strength in the face of her son’s disgrace and her husband’s dominance, had stirred something in me. I looked at
MY FATHER-IN-LAW; MY RUIN HE'S RUNNING WILD!
ELARA’S POVThe silence between us was so thick it felt like it had a heartbeat. I gripped the edge of the table, my knuckles white against the forest-green silk of my new sleeves, waiting for the storm. I expected Elena to scream. I expected her to call me a whore, to demand I leave her home, to blame me for the stain on her family’s name.Instead, Elena let out a long, shuddering sigh that seemed to deflate her entire frame. She stepped further into the room, her gaze softening into something so weary it made my chest ache."How are you, Elara?" she asked quietly. "Truly?"I blinked, the question catching me completely off guard. "I... I’m fine, Elena. I’m just trying to process everything.""You don't have to lie to me, child," she said, her voice thin but steady. She walked toward the door and raised her voice slightly. "Gina!"The maid appeared almost instantly, as if she had been hovering just outside."Get us a fresh pot of tea. The Earl Grey," Elena commanded. "And see that
MY FATHER-IN-LAW; MY RUIN THE PAIN OF IT ALL
ELARA’S POVThe bathroom door clicked shut behind me, the sound echoing against the cold marble like a finality. I stood there for a long moment, my forehead pressed against the cool wood, waiting for my heart to stop its frantic hammering. The air in the room was already beginning to warm, the humidity rising as I turned the handles of the shower to their fullest extent. Steam began to billow, thick and white, curling around my ankles and rising to the ceiling until the mirrors were wiped clean of my reflection.It felt like a shroud. A heavy, humid veil trying to hide me from the woman I had been only twelve hours ago.I stepped into the spray slowly, my movements mechanical, as if my body were a machine I was learning to operate for the first time. The water was scalding, needle-sharp against my skin, but I didn't turn it down. I needed the sting. I needed something to tether me to the present moment, because the past was a weight that felt ready to pull me under.I am no longer
MY FATHER-IN-LAW; MY RUIN THE VANE MANOR
Light filtered into the room, a cruel, invasive gold that forced its way beneath my eyelids until I was left with no choice but to wake. I tried to roll away from the brightness, but my limbs felt like they had been replaced with lead, and my head throbbed with a rhythmic, dull ache that pulsed behind my temples. My throat was dry, like I’d been swallowing sand, and for a few blissful, fleeting seconds, I didn't remember why I felt so utterly wrecked, until…I shifted my legs.The friction of the silk sheets against my skin sent a jolt of memory straight to my gut. The night before came rushing back in a violent, chaotic montage—the sound of the divorce papers being signed, the stinging spray of rain on the porch, the predatory heat of the SUV, and the way Silas had looked at me as he claimed the ruins of my marriage.I sat up slowly, the world spinning on its axis for a moment before righting itself. I looked around the room, squinting against the glare. The decor was opulent, hea
MY FATHER-IN-LAW; MY RUIN DIVORCE PAPERS
ELARA’S POVI tore my mouth away, the cold night air hitting my lips with the sting of a slap. I shoved against his chest, my palms flat against the expensive white silk of his suit. He didn't budge at first, a wall of pure, unyielding muscle, before he finally stepped back, his eyes dark with a t
MY FATHER-IN-LAW; MY RUIN HER SECRET IS OUT IN THE OPEN
ELARA’S POVThe silence in the room was no longer just heavy; it was a suffocating blanket that made every tick of the grandfather clock in the hall sound like a hammer against a nail. My eyes were locked on Mia’s hand. It was buried deep in her designer purse, her knuckles white, her breath comin
MY FATHER-IN-LAW; MY RUIN TRUTH OR DARE?
ELARA’S POVThe words hung in the air like a guillotine blade. Truth or Dare.A heavy, suffocating silence followed. Finally, dad broke the silence again, letting out a deep, booming laugh that felt entirely too cheerful for the electrical storm brewing under the table. "Truth or Dare? Elara, we
MY FATHER-IN-LAW; MY RUIN LOST IN PAIN
ELARA’S POVI paused at the threshold, taking a shallow, jagged breath. My heart was still a frantic drum against my ribs, and I could still feel Silas’s hand on my breast. I smoothed my dress with trembling palms, praying the fabric didn't show the dampness between my thighs or the flush that fe
