Leonora Garner looks as if she’s seen a ghost, her face drained of color. Her eyes drop, avoiding the piercing gaze of the man she once loved in her youth.

His voice cuts into her, stabbing at her heart, “Why did you lie about my daughter? Why did you—?”

"How did you find her?" she interrupts, trembling but determined not to let him see her fear. “You weren’t supposed to find her.”

His face twists with anger. “Is that all you have to say? Do you have any idea how much I suffered because of this? Do you know what happened after you told me you’d aborted our child?” he snaps, his voice shaking. “Are you happy, Leonora? Living your best life, betraying me, abandoning our child to strangers. Are you happy?”

“Cruel people? They’re good people. They’re rich. They are—”

“Enough!” Mr. Holden growls, the room seeming to tremble with his fury. “How heartless can someone be? How are you not haunted by karma? You should be rotting somewhere for the lives you’ve destroyed. Listen!” He steps c

  • No Longer Shadow Of My Sister: Divorcing The CEO   Between heartbeat and Ocean

    It feels like life has decided not to slow down for them at all, as if the house itself has been strapped into another violent turn of a rollercoaster it never agreed to ride. The days that follow are heavy, thick with unspoken fear and exhaustion. Dawn barely sleeps. Every sound makes her flinch. She checks on Asher far more than necessary, sometimes standing by his crib long after he has fallen asleep, her hand hovering over his chest just to make sure he is breathing. Travis never comments on it. He simply stays close, a silent wall at her back, his presence steady and unwavering. Jim becomes a ghost in his own home. He answers when spoken to, nods when required, but otherwise retreats into himself. The guilt sits on him like a physical weight, dragging his shoulders down, hollowing out his eyes. No one presses him. There is nothing left to say that would undo what has already happened. Mrs Ericson responds the only way she knows how. She tightens everything. Security is double

  • No Longer Shadow Of My Sister: Divorcing The CEO   Attacking Asher

    The alarm does not go off immediately.That is what makes it worse.The estate is large, layered with corridors and soundproofed rooms meant for privacy and calm. For several minutes after Kayla disappears, there is only controlled movement, security checking exits, staff answering clipped questions, radios murmuring low updates. Everyone assumes she is trying to flee the property.No one imagines she would move deeper inside.Travis and Dawn send a message to the nanny who informs her that she is with Asher. Not to worry about it. Feeling relieved, both of them join to alert Tiara and Danny. In the meantime, The nanny hums softly as she walks back and forth, Asher cradled against her shoulder. He is half-asleep, tiny fingers curled into the fabric of her uniform, breathing slow and even. He woke up earlier when the alert rang. Now she is doing her best to put him in sleep.She has no idea anything is wrong. She has already locked the door. But she doesn't know that Kayla has alrea

    After sending Kayla to the medical room despite her protests, Jim walks out of the room. His steps are slow, uneven, as if the weight of everything that just happened has finally settled on his shoulders. The door clicks shut behind him, muffling Kayla’s distant voice, and the sound makes him flinch. Mrs Ericson stands a few steps away, her posture rigid, her expression cold enough to chill the air around her. Her lips are pressed into a thin line, eyes sharp and unforgiving. Travis and Dawn stand nearby, side by side, both quiet, both alert. Dawn’s fingers are still curled slightly, as if she hasn’t fully relaxed since the knife incident, while Travis’s stance remains protective, shoulders squared. “All of you, come with me,” Mrs Ericson says, turning on her heel without waiting for a response. She heads toward the spa room, pushing the door open with decisive force. The soft lighting inside contrasts sharply with the tension following them in. The employees who are cleaning the a

  • No Longer Shadow Of My Sister: Divorcing The CEO   Threatening to hurt herself

    The room freezes.For a heartbeat, no one moves. The knife trembles in Kayla’s grip, the thin line of steel pressed hard enough against her wrist to blanch the skin beneath it. Her fingers are slick with sweat, knuckles white, the tendons in her hand standing out sharply. Her breath comes in sharp, uneven pulls, chest rising too fast, eyes shining with tears that refuse to fall, blinking too rapidly as if her body can’t decide whether to cry or fight.The servants instinctively step back, one of them gasping softly before clamping a hand over their mouth. Another stiffens, eyes fixed on the blade. A chair scrapes faintly as someone shifts, then stills again, the sound jarring in the sudden silence.Travis instinctively reaches for Dawn, his hand closing firmly around her wrist, grounding. Dawn stiffens for half a second before leaning into him. At the same time, to Tiara's absolute surprise, Danny grabs her arm and pulls her closer, shielding her with his body. Tiara’s breath hitches

  • No Longer Shadow Of My Sister: Divorcing The CEO   Kayla's Mental breakdown

    The reaction is immediate.Kayla’s sob breaks out the moment the question hangs in the air, loud and raw, as if someone has just struck her. She cries hard, shoulders shaking violently, the sound sharp and desperate, like grief that has nowhere to go. It is excessive, almost theatrical, but convincing enough to make the servants pause behind the doorway.“I can’t believe this,” she cries, pressing a hand to her chest as if her heart might shatter. “I can’t believe you’re doubting me like this. You are supposed to be my side..”Her tear-filled eyes lift and lock onto Dawn, narrowing just a fraction before widening again, wounded. “Don’t you think it’s strange?” she continues, her voice trembling. “She suddenly decides I’m not pregnant the moment I walk into this family?”She points shakily toward Dawn. “Are you taking revenge on me?” Her voice rises. “Is it because I said I would be your sister-in-law? Or is it because I talked about you being Travis’s replacement bride?”The words hit

  • No Longer Shadow Of My Sister: Divorcing The CEO   Pregnant?

    The silence becomes so thick it feels tangible, like something solid pressing against everyone’s chest. It is the kind of quiet where even breathing feels too loud. The servants, who had been waiting discreetly near the doorway for a signal to serve the meal, sense the tension immediately. Their eyes flick between faces, trained by years of service to recognize when a room is on the verge of fracture. Without a word, they retreat, steps light and cautious, creating space as if anticipating raised voices, accusations, or something worse. Mrs Ericson leans forward slowly, her posture deliberate. The air around her seems to grow heavier, her presence commanding without effort. Her eyes move first to Kayla, scanning her from head to toe with unsettling precision. Kayla feels it. Her spine stiffens. Almost instinctively, she places a hand over her lower abdomen, rubbing it in a slow, deliberate motion. The gesture is gentle, almost reverent, as if she is announcing her pregnancy witho
