The day Ryan whispered my name was the same day the sun finally broke through a week of gray clouds. I stood at the hospital window, watching light spill over the parking lot like a quiet promise, while inside, my brother blinked slowly at me, his lips dry, cracked—but alive.

“You came back,” I murmured, tears gathering fast.

His throat worked, but he couldn’t say much else yet. Still, it was enough. That one word—my name—was everything. And when I held his hand this time, I could feel the strength slowly returning beneath the fragile skin.

I sent a voice message to Callum. I didn’t trust myself to talk without sobbing. “He said my name,” I whispered. “Callum, he said my name.”

He called me back immediately, and when I answered, I could hear it in his voice—he’d stopped whatever he was doing. “I’m on my way.”

“No,” I said quickly, though my heart clenched at the thought. “You have work.”

“Screw work. I told you, I’m in this. I’ll catch the next flight. Just… stay with him. I’ll be the

  • My Ex, the Widowed Billionaire   Chapter 114

    The room hummed gently, like it was listening to our footsteps. Not just reacting, but anticipating.I walked beside Callum, his hand still folded with mine—familiar, certain now. Not like before, when it had been a question. Now it was an answer.He wasn’t saying much, but then, Callum never needed to. His silences spoke with more truth than most people’s words. The way his thumb brushed against my knuckles as we passed beneath the glowing archways said more than a confession.And yet… I still wanted the words.“Do you think it’s watching us?” I asked softly.Callum looked up, eyes tracing the living circuitry pulsing faintly in the ceiling above. “Maybe. Or maybe it’s… dreaming us.”“Dreaming?”He nodded, a faint smile curving his lips. “Like we’re the story it’s telling itself.”That idea caught something in my chest. I didn’t know if it was fear or comfort. “Then I hope it’s a love story.”His eyes flicked to me—warm, quiet. But intense. “It already is.”My breath caught.For a lo

  • My Ex, the Widowed Billionaire   Chapter 113

    The vessel didn’t stop singing after we stepped forward.If anything, the song deepened. Grew stranger.It no longer echoed the familiar tones of our past—no childhood laughter wrapped in star-silk, no remembered scents of lunar rain or echo-kisses under the rust moons. This music was new. Dissonant. Unnamed. It vibrated in frequencies that tugged at marrow, not memory.The threshold pulsed beneath our feet—half bridge, half living nerve. Every step we took sent ripples into the world behind us. It didn’t feel like walking forward. It felt like tearing through something ancient and sacred.And then, it opened.Not like a door.Like an eye.A golden slit blinked against the void and stared. At us. Into us.Callum’s hand stiffened in mine.Raven muttered, “Well, that’s not horrifying at all.”Kira stepped beside me, arms outstretched, her aura pulsing in sync with the rhythm. “This is what comes next. The vessel isn’t just memory. It’s a gatekeeper.”“To what?” Callum asked.“To the unr

  • My Ex, the Widowed Billionaire   Chapter 112: Then it broke

    The echo-space hummed with gentle waves of memory, but beneath its serenity, a note trembled out of key.I didn’t notice it at first. Not while Callum’s fingers rested in mine, our breaths syncing in quiet rhythm. Not while Kira sent glittering nodes of her parents’ laughter into the sky, or when Raven traced constellations with a curious reverence I never thought she possessed. But then the warmth shifted—subtly. Like a symphony one note too sharp.Callum felt it too.His grip tightened. “Do you hear that?”I nodded slowly. “It’s… off.”The harmony we'd earned—fought for—was quivering, like a thread stretched too tight. I sat up, peering around the glowing space. It was still beautiful. Still vast. But like a smile held too long, the effort of it cracked.Behind me, Callum stood, his jaw set. “The vessel’s changing.”“No,” Kira said, already at the basin. “Something is changing.”Glyphs flared to life again—less stable this time. They jittered like broken thoughts. Raven crouched bes

  • My Ex, the Widowed Billionaire   Chapter 111: Promise

    The vessel had no engines. No cockpit. No flight path.It moved like a song remembered—drifting on something beyond propulsion. When we stepped aboard, the floor pulsed beneath our feet like a heartbeat syncing to our presence. Each of us heard something different: Kira claimed it whispered equations; Raven swore it hummed war chants from a language long dead. For me, it was simpler.It whispered Callum’s name.Not as a summons.As a promise.The harmonic vessel accepted our resonance signatures within seconds of boarding. Tendrils of soft light wrapped around our wrists, our throats, like invisible chords tuning an instrument before a concert. It didn't bind—it calibrated. My skin tingled, and beside me, Callum let out a quiet breath.“You feel that?” he asked.I nodded. “It knows us.”He reached over, brushing a stray lock of hair behind my ear. “Then it knows how stubborn you are.”I smirked. “And how much you love that about me.”Callum didn’t laugh.He just looked at me, his expr

  • My Ex, the Widowed Billionaire   Chapter 110: I'm afraid again

    The signal had changed again.Not in tone.In direction.It wasn’t calling anymore.It was waiting.We stood beneath the Archive’s east alcove where the resonance maps were rendered in real-time. Glyphs pulsed on the curved obsidian walls, golden veins tracing patterns that hadn’t existed yesterday. The signal—Sol’s, and others interlaced with it—wasn’t moving forward. It hovered, oscillating, like breath caught between inhale and exhale.Kira frowned. “It’s positioning itself. Not broadcasting to lure us—but anchoring. Like it’s making a door.”I touched the map’s glowing center. “Or a threshold.”Callum’s voice came low beside me. “Then the question is—do we cross it?”We were no longer alone in asking.The others had begun to sense it too: the way the turbines hummed in intervals that matched heartbeat patterns, how the Archive’s light panels dimmed not by time but by emotion. The place was alive in a way it had never been before.Not just listening.Responding.Some thought it was

  • My Ex, the Widowed Billionaire   Chapter 109: Another pulse

    The signal hadn’t changed.But we had.It came softly, like a memory threading itself through the air—barely perceptible at first. Kira detected it in the harmonics lab, noting a faint anomaly in the background noise of the Archive’s western cliffs. She called it a “ghost harmonic.” Nothing dangerous. Nothing urgent.But Callum heard something else.Not a frequency.A name.Mine.I was in the greenhouse when he found me, hands buried in soil, whispering a story to the vines—an old one about snowfall and warmth. The blue blossoms had unfurled, basking in the gentleness of the words. That’s when his shadow fell across the stones.“You need to hear this,” he said, breathless.I straightened. “Another pulse?”He shook his head. “Something different. Not a warning. It’s… calling you.”My hands were still streaked with soil when I followed him.We didn’t speak on the walk. The wind turbines hummed gently as we passed, their tones shifting like sighs. Callum walked fast, but not in panic—mor
