The afternoon's orange light streams into the elegant café , facing the hustling city where Dawn is sitting at a large oak bench.

She appears calm, yet beneath the surface, her mind is calculating. She flips through the papers the private investigator has just delivered, her eyes narrowing as she reads the detailed report. The bittersweet taste of latte makes her mood better with the lines on the report.

  • No Longer Shadow Of My Sister: Divorcing The CEO   Tiara's return

    The elevator doors slide open with a soft chime, and Dawn steps out, Asher nestled securely against her shoulder.She has just received Travis’s message about him returning home. The moment she reads it, her chest tightens with relief, and she cannot help but come downstairs immediately, her steps quicker than usual, her grip tightening around Asher without realizing it.Her eyes lift as she steps forward, scanning the living room instinctively. The moment she sees them, her shoulders loosen, relief washing over her face like a breath she has been holding too long. The tension drains from her spine, and her lips part in a silent exhale.She walks toward them, Travis, Danny, and Tiara, who are already settled in the living room, exhaustion etched into their posture.Travis looks up first.For a split second, everything else fades. His body reacts before his mind does. He crosses the room in long strides and pulls Dawn into his arms without hesitation. Dawn exhales against his chest, he

  • No Longer Shadow Of My Sister: Divorcing The CEO   Manipulation

    Steam from the hot shower lingers in the air, filling the bathroom with a warm haze. Jim’s hands rub the towel across his face as he steps out, water droplets clinging to the ends of his hair. The apartment is quiet except for the soft rustle of sheets from the bedroom. His eyes narrow slightly as he notices Kayla sitting on the edge of the bed, her gaze fixed on the floor. The soft hum of the city outside filters in through the partially drawn curtains.“Kayla?” he asks, voice gentle but carrying an edge of concern. “What happened?”She doesn’t look up immediately. Her fingers twist the hem of her top with a restless tension, the subtle tremor of her hands betraying a nervous energy she tries to mask. Her lips press together as though she’s holding back words, and her chest rises and falls unevenly.Nothing comes out at first. The silence stretches, almost thick with unspoken tension. Then, as if a dam finally gives way, tears begin to streak down her cheeks. They glint in the soft

  • No Longer Shadow Of My Sister: Divorcing The CEO   You don't like me

    " You can go home today. It's been a long day!" Travis walks out of his office room with his assistant. It has been a exhausting day and he wants to go home as soon as possible. Maybe sharing a bath with Dawn and hear her out what's bothering her. She has been worried sick about everything. Now Jim has brought his girlfriend who he hasn't talked about before, makes no sense. Jim is a person who doesn't take random action. He knows bringing anyone with no proper introduction will make their parents upset.They're allowed to date anyone freely but bringing them home without proper introduction and prior notifications? This is not how Jim behaves. Feeling like there's something else, Travis has decided to pick Tiara up as soon as possible and go home. But, The call comes through when Travis is standing near the elevator, suit folded over his arm, his mind already halfway to the hospital. He answers without looking at the screen. “Travis,” Dawn’s voice rushes through the line, tigh

  • No Longer Shadow Of My Sister: Divorcing The CEO   An outsider

    Just a few minutes after Mrs. Ericson leaves, Kayla walks out of the elevator with a wide, overly sweet smile. Anyone can tell how much she has rehearsed it. The smile sits too carefully on her lips, stretched, deliberate. Her eyes lock onto the nameplate.“Travis and Dawn.”Just that. And her smile cracks, twisting into something unreadable. Her brows twitch. Her lips press together for a split second before curving again. Her fingers trail over the nameplate slowly, almost reverently, triumph flickering across her face, as if it is a written curse she cannot help admiring.She walks toward the door as if the apartment already belongs to her. She yanks her hair back over her shoulder, lifts her chin higher, posture sharp with entitlement. The tight top clings to her curves audaciously, her steps confident, unhesitating.When she reaches the door, she does not knock.The door opens before Dawn can even process the sound of footsteps outside. Asher’s nanny, stepping out to fetch someth

  • No Longer Shadow Of My Sister: Divorcing The CEO   The old feeling creeping in

    The meeting room is filled with muted voices and the low hum of the projector. Travis sits at the head of the long table, his posture straight, his attention divided between the figures on the screen and the faint vibration of his phone against the polished wood. It buzzes once. He glances down briefly.He leans back in the chair, exhaustion settling into his shoulders as he stares at the employees around the table. He needs to leave as soon as possible to pick Tiara up.The caller ID with a heart symbol keeps appearing.Dawn.He hesitates for a fraction of a second before turning the phone face down again. The presentation continues, graphs shifting, numbers being explained. He tells himself he will call her later once the meeting is done. Still, he hasn’t been able to concentrate on anything being said.The phone vibrates again.He clenches his jaw slightly but keeps his gaze forward, nodding once at a point being made. Something in his chest tightens. Dawn rarely calls twice in a r

  • No Longer Shadow Of My Sister: Divorcing The CEO   The first impression

    The first thing Mrs. Ericson notices as soon as she enters is the voice.Mr. Ericson has returned to the company since he has some important matters to deal with.It carries across the living room before she even fully steps inside—bright, loud, layered with an easy confidence that feels misplaced in a house that usually moves with quiet order. Mrs. Ericson pauses just past the threshold, her fingers tightening slightly against the doorframe as she listens, her shoulders still, her breath measured.“…Oh, I love how open this space is,” the woman is saying. “It feels very… legacy. You know? Old money, but tasteful.”Mrs. Ericson’s brows draw together by a fraction. Her lips press into a thin, thoughtful line as she steps forward, the heel of her shoe barely making a sound against the marble floor. Who has entered her heavily guarded house and is speaking as if she belongs here?Kayla Brown stands near the center of the living room, her back half-turned. One manicured hand gestures anim
