Divorce

Three years ago, I destroyed the man I loved to save his life. Now I'm crashing Adrien's engagement party because my brother is missing, and my ex-husband is the only one with the power to find him. Adrien moved on and built a safe life with a woman who won't shatter his heart the way I did. His fiancée makes it clear I'm not welcome. She's right. I'm the wife who vanished without explanation, leaving only a note saying I "couldn't handle marriage." But the truth is darker. I didn't leave because I stopped loving him. I left because someone threatened to kill him if I stayed. For three years, I've lived in hiding while my stalker pulled the strings of my life, using my terror to control me. I thought my sacrifice kept Adrien safe. I was dead wrong. Now the monster from my past is escalating his twisted game, and Adrien is in more danger than ever. Forced back into each other's lives, we must uncover a conspiracy that goes deeper than either of us imagined. But working together means risking the one thing I swore I would never gamble with "his life".

Chapter 1: Unexpected Return
Elena's POV:I stood in front of the gleaming glass building, rain soaking through my inadequate jacket, staring up at the penthouse where warm golden light spilled from every window. The sound of laughter and music drifted down from twenty floors. My hands shook as I clutched Miguel's graduation photo, wrinkled and damp from my grip.Miguel had been missing for four days, and I was standing there like a fool, about to humiliate myself in front of the one person who had every right to slam the door in my face.But he was also the only person with the connections I needed.The elevator ride to the top felt endless. My reflection in the polished steel doors showed exactly what I had expected: a woman hanging by a thread. Dark circles under my eyes, hair escaping from its messy bun, clothes that hadn't been changed in two days because I had been too busy calling hospitals and police stations and anyone who might have seen my little brother.The elevator dinged, and suddenly I was standin

Chapter 2: Safe Harbor
Adrien’s Pov:The door to my study closes with a soft click, muffling Elena's voice as she makes another desperate phone call. I lean against the wood and close my eyes.FlashbackThe courthouse. Elena's white knuckles as she signed the papers. "I'm sorry," she whispered, but the words came too late.Sorry for the miscarriage that broke us. Sorry for the months of silence and separate bedrooms. Sorry we'd failed at something we'd both wanted so desperately.I wanted to say something but watched her walk away instead.A knock on the study door jolts me back to the present. Sophia enters without waiting for permission, her engagement ring catching the light as she closes the door behind her."Darling," she says, her voice carefully controlled. "Our guests are asking about you."I straighten, automatically falling back into the role of gracious host. "Of course. I'll be right out."But she didn’t move aside to let me pass. Instead, she studies me with those sharp blue eyes that miss noth

Chapter 3: The Investigation
Elena's POV:I had hung up from another dead-end call and stared at my phone, willing it to ring with good news. Through the study door, I could hear the muffled sounds of Adrien's party, continued laughter, clinking glasses, the kind of carefree celebration that felt like it belonged to another universe.When the door opened, I expected to see Sophia's perfectly composed face, ready to escort me out with polite firmness. Instead, it was Adrien, carrying two cups of coffee and looking like he was steeling himself for battle."Black, no sugar," he said, setting one cup in front of me. "Unless you've changed."I haven't... The fact that he remembered this small detail after three years of silence made something twist painfully in my chest. "Thank you."He settled into the chair across from his desk not behind it, I noticed He’s not putting a barrier between us. The coffee was perfect, rich and strong, exactly how I needed it right then."Tell me about Miguel," he said quietly.The sound

Chapter 4: Territorial Lines
Elena's POV:I heard the soft click of heels on hardwood before Sophia appeared in the doorway, carrying a chilled bottle of champagne. Her perfectly composed expression faltered for just a moment when she saw Adrien and me still bent over Miguel's evidence, our heads close together as we studied the financial documents.The silence stretched uncomfortably as she took in the scene the scattered papers, my tear-streaked face, the way Adrien's hand had moved protectively toward mine when we discovered the diplomatic license plates. I could practically see her calculating the implications, her sharp lawyer's mind cataloging every detail."I'm sorry," I said quickly, already gathering the papers. "We were just finishing up."But we weren't finished, and all three of us knew it. The evidence spread across Adrien's desk painted a picture of something far more dangerous than a missing person case. Miguel didn't just disappear, he had stumbled onto something that could get him killed."Actual

Chapter 5: Dangerous Territory
Elena's Pov:The warehouse district at three in the morning felt like a different planet from Adrien's penthouse world. Broken streetlights cast uneven shadows between abandoned buildings, and the air smelled of rust, decay, and something else I didn't want to identify. I pulled my jacket tighter around myself as Adrien parked his sleek BMW behind a rusted dumpster."You should have stayed at the hotel," he said, his voice tight with concern as he scanned the desolate street. "This isn't safe.""Miguel is my brother." "I'm not sitting in some hotel room while you investigate his disappearance."Adrien's contact had been surprisingly helpful for a former FBI agent who clearly owed Adrien more than one favor. Within hours, Michae; had tracked Miguel's last known location to this industrial hellscape in Queens, following the trail of his credit card and cell phone pings before both had gone dark four days ago."Building 47," Adrien murmured, pointing to a structure that looked like it ha

Chapter 6: The Breakdown
Elena's PovThe grinding sound started small, almost imperceptible under the hum of the BMW's engine. Adrien and I had spent the entire day chasing down leads from the warehouse discovery, talking to Miguel's contacts, anyone who might know something about the shell companies or the people behind them.Now, at nearly midnight, exhaustion had settled into my bones."Did you hear that?" I asked, sitting up straighter in the passenger seat.Adrien's jaw tightened. "Yeah. I was hoping you didn't."The grinding grew louder, accompanied by a high-pitched whine that made me wince. Adrien guided the car toward the shoulder, but we weren't in a good part of town. "Of all the nights," Adrien muttered as the car shuddered to a complete stop. He tried the ignition twice, but the engine only coughed pathetically before dying entirely.I pulled out my phone. "I'll call a tow truck.""At midnight? In this neighborhood?" He was already scanning the street, his protective instincts kicking in. "We wo

Chapter 7: The Ultimatum
Elena's POVI woke to the sound of gravel crunching in the parking lot. Adrien was already awake, standing at the window with his phone pressed to his ear."I understand you're upset," he was saying, his voice tight with tension. "But it's not what you think. The car broke down, and this was the only place" He stopped, listening. "Sophie, please. Just let me explain when I get back."My stomach dropped. I sat up slowly, running my hands through my tangled hair, and that's when I heard it. The unmistakable sound of heels on pavement, moving fast. Angry.Adrien's face went pale. "Sophie, where are you right now?"He pulled the phone away from his ear, staring at it. "She hung up." He turned to look at me, and I saw panic in his eyes. "She's here. She tracked my location.""What?" I scrambled out of bed just as a sharp knock rattled the motel room door. Not a polite knock. An accusatory one."Adrien!" Sophie's voice came through the thin door, sharp and furious. "I know you're in there

Chapter 8: Reality Check
Elena's POVMy phone started ringing as Adrien and I were leaving the motel parking lot. The tow truck had already picked up his BMW, and we were in a rental car heading to meet Michael. I glanced at the screen and felt my stomach drop.James - 5 missed calls"Shit," I muttered under my breath.Adrien glanced over from the driver's seat. "What?""Nothing. I just..." I stared at James's name on the screen as it rang again. "I need to take this."I answered, my voice coming out more hesitant than I intended. "Hey.""Elena? Thank God." James's voice was tight with worry and frustration, maybe. "I've been trying to reach you for two days. Two days. Do you have any idea how worried I've been?"Guilt crashed over me like a wave. James. My boyfriend of eight months. The steady, reliable high school teacher who took me to farmer's markets on Sundays and made me laugh with his terrible puns. The man who had been nothing but patient and kind while I worked through my issues in therapy.I had co

Chapter 9: The Ring
Elena's POVWe spent hours at Michael's office, going through documents and security footage, piecing together a timeline of Miguel's last days. By the time we left, it was nearly evening, and my head was pounding from information overload and too much coffee."We should go back to my place," Adrien said as we walked to the rental car. "Regroup, figure out our next move. Michael said he would call if he found anything else."The drive to Adrien's penthouse was quiet. I stared out the window, watching the city lights blur past, and tried not to think about what going to his place meant."The guest room is," Adrien started."I remember where it is," I said quietly."I'll order dinner. Any preferences?""Whatever you want is fine."We moved around each other carefully, maintaining distance, both of us hyperaware of the intimacy of being alone in his home. Our home, once upon a time.I excused myself to the bathroom, needing a moment to breathe. The guest bathroom was one of the few rooms

Chapter 10: Morning After
Elena's POVI woke to the sound of a shower running and an empty bed beside me.For a moment, I was disoriented, the events of last night coming back in flashes. The wedding ring, the confession, making love against his study door with desperate intensity, his hands on my body, his voice saying he loved me and had never stopped loving me.The sheets still smelled like him, like us.I sat up slowly, pulling the sheet around myself, and stared at the closed bath door. Adrien had been gone when I woke up, no gentle morning kisses, just the sound of running water and the cold space where he slept.Something is not right, this felt familiar in the worst way.When the shower cut off, I braced myself. A few minutes later, Adrien came in, already dressed in jeans and a t-shirt, his hair damp. He stopped when he saw me awake, and for a moment neither of us spoke."Morning," he finally said."Morning." I clutched the sheet tighter. "You're up early.""Couldn't sleep." He moved to the dresser, n
