last update Last Updated: 2025-01-05 22:35:42

What can they do now? Play petty games and act like bullies again?

Dawn exhales sharply, her fingers gripping the edge of her phone as Travis's message flickers on the screen. His words carry a weight of guilt and concern. He has arranged for her to attend the reunion with bodyguards. She wants to be angry at him for being so overprotective, but deep down, she knows his actions stem from love.

He’s been working himself to the bone, determined to clear his schedule before the final month of her pregnancy. The pressure he carries is palpable, his desire to protect her and their unborn son consuming him. After everything they’ve endured—the threats, the near-misses—he refuses to take any risks.

Dawn sets her phone down, her chest tightening. She wishes Travis could be here tonight, but she doesn’t dwell on the thought for long. Tiara, stepped in at the last moment, eager to take his place.

Tiara’s presence feels like a shield, a reminder that Dawn doesn’t have to face her past al

  • No Longer Shadow Of My Sister: Divorcing The CEO   A new beginning

    Five years later,Life has settled into its own rhythm. All the troubles they have gone through have finally been handled off without any problems. Tiara graduated from the same university, dropping out of the program to stay with her family.The relationship with Danny has been solid since day one. Although she felt a bit awkward. After all, she only knew how to love one-sidedly. So when Danny's attention started coming like a downpour, she couldn't handle it at first.Thankfully, she consulted the only person she trusted more. Dawn. Also, to make sure the relationship rules that the Ericsons strictly follow are respected, Tiara has started joining Travis's company as an intern. This way nobody can point out that she is dating without having any career.In the meantime, Tiara, being the kindest girl, decided not to go through legal punishment for David and her friends.She later learned that David had been stalking her for a long time. But she didn't give that much attention since sh

  • 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
