Travis stands on the balcony, finding Dawn sitting alone in the garden. He can't shake off the weirdness of her obsession with gardens.

Even in his parents' mansion she can't stop visiting the gardens.

Travis walks downstairs, heading directly to her, there is something in his eyes, something like determination. As he approaches, his footsteps on the dry leaves get her attention. She raises her head, kinda weak--- Her gaze.

" Are you feeling alright?" Dawn asks, having no trace of emotions in those words.

Travis nods, sitting next to her. Dawn wants to leave right now. But it will bring confrontation that she doesn't want to do. The morning sickness is troubling her as well.

" I thought a lot!" Travis starts, without looking at her, " There are thousands of reasons for you to leave me. I can't deny everything. But I think you should get divorced once you complete your study and get a job. It'll be like an alimony. Since you gave up on studying to marry me, you deserve i

    "Professor Danny! Are you done?" Danny's assistant, Joan, asked, leaning against the doorframe.Danny grabbed his belongings and looked at Joan with a polite smile. "No. I need to wait for three hours to get the final results, so I am heading home until it's done." He set the timer on his phone while ignoring the messages before approaching the door.Since he needed to concentrate on his research tonight, he decided not to receive any calls or read messages."That's good. You have been staying up late. Anyway, I am done with my part. Can I go home?" Joan asked, constantly checking his phone."I already told you that you don't have to inform me. Just message me. See you tomorrow, Joan. Good night."Joan, a master's student, nodded his head. He was going on a dinner date with his girlfriend and couldn't wait to see her.Seeing that Danny hadn't questioned him like the previous professor, who constantly nagged, Joan felt quite grateful. At least now he didn't have to go home with headach

  • No Longer Shadow Of My Sister: Divorcing The CEO   A cozy afternoon

    The sun dips lower into the horizon, painting the sky in shades of amber, rose, and lavender. The rooftop glows with that soft golden light that makes everything feel warmer, more alive. It has always been Travis and Dawn’s favorite place—a little sanctuary away from the world below. Tonight, it feels even more special, because their son, little Asher, has claimed the space as his own. He crawls across the soft mattress they laid out, his fingers pressing into the fabric as though every inch of it is something brand new. His giggles bounce with the breeze, and when he pauses, his tiny teeth peek out in a grin that looks almost exactly like Travis’s. Travis lies flat on his back, hands folded behind his head, watching both the sky and his son. The moment he sees Asher’s toothy smile, he breaks into his own grin. The resemblance is uncanny. “Gosh! He is just like you,” Dawn says with a laugh, leaning forward to pinch Asher’s cheeks. “Always trying to copy you.” Asher squeals wit

  • No Longer Shadow Of My Sister: Divorcing The CEO   Crossing a line

    The next morning, the campus air hums with the usual chatter of students heading to their classes. Danny pulls his car into the lot, the weight of his bag pressing into his shoulder as he steps out. His hair is messy, the kind of messy that comes from a long night buried in equations and scattered notes rather than sleep. He exhales, adjusting his bag, when his eyes catch a familiar figure across the courtyard. Tiara. She is standing with a small group of students, the early light slipping across her features. She gestures animatedly while explaining something, her voice soft but firm enough to draw the attention of the boy standing close to her. David. His eyes stay on her, not on her words, but on her as though she is something he has just discovered and can’t look away from. Danny stops in his tracks. His first instinct is to turn around, to take another gate and avoid the scene altogether. Yet his chest tightens. A sharp pang cuts through the calm he tries to wear. The boy’s ex

  • No Longer Shadow Of My Sister: Divorcing The CEO   A dinner with heartache

    The refrigerator door hums quietly as Danny pulls out a few more ingredients, setting them on the counter with practiced ease. His movements are confident, fluid, as though the kitchen belongs to him. The blade of the knife glides smoothly over the chopping board, dicing vegetables into precise little cubes, each sound sharp and steady.“Any allergies or something you don’t like to eat?” he asks, glancing briefly over his shoulder.Tiara stands a few feet away, hands fidgeting at the hem of her dress. She looks oddly out of place in the kitchen, like a guest who has wandered into a private room she isn’t sure she belongs in. Her lips part as if she wants to speak but no words come out. Her eyes dart from the counter to the refrigerator, then finally to the floor.“Tiara?” Danny calls again, this time with a hint of confusion. His brow arches when he sees her, motionless, staring at the tiled floor as though lost in thought.He waves his hand in front of her face. “Tiara! Is everything

    Dawn stands outside the company building, in the vast parking lot, one hand on the door of her SUV. Her eyes flick briefly to the ground. There’s nothing there, yet a soft smile appears on her face. Because she knows—her man is up there. She can’t see him from here, but she can feel his presence like a constant shadow watching over her.She opens the car door, ready to get in, when a sharp voice slices through the afternoon air.“What’s the relationship between you and the CEO of Ericson?”She turns slowly, her face calm but her heart reacting too fast. Standing there is a woman dressed in the finest designer wear, her posture rigid, arms folded, lips curled in a smug line. Her voice drips bitterness.At first, Dawn narrows her eyes, unsure, confusion clouding her features. Then it hits her, sudden and unkind. She knows that face. She knows that voice.Leonora Garner.The woman who once gave birth to her. The woman who left her.Dawn doesn’t flinch. She simply places the lunchbox on t
