Travis lays her down on the bed and quietly grabs the blanket. She has been terrified and confused about what just happened. In her previous life, nothing like this ever happened to her, but—there had been rumors about some drunk people trying to enter one of their rooms. That means in this life, it happened, and she became the victim.

While trembling, her hands keep rubbing her belly. When that man pushed her against the bed, he pressed her belly to control her hands, so it's hurting a bit. Feeling utterly distraught and disgusted by the incident, she curls herself into a ball and keeps sobbing.

"I’ll call the doctor. You take some rest," Travis says while covering her with the blanket.

He places her phone on the nightstand along with a glass of water. As he turns to leave, she grabs his wrist, staring at him, exhausted and terrified. What if someone else enters the room? She doesn’t want to be alone right now.

"You need something?" he asks, his voice gentle as he presses the

  • No Longer Shadow Of My Sister: Divorcing The CEO   You can't cook

    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

Surrounded by the love of his parents, the child giggles more often now, chases butterflies in the garden, and clings to Dawn's dress whenever he wants her attention. The house breathes joy.And unexpectedly, in the quiet corners of the chaos, Dawn and Travis find their love deepening. Stronger. Softer. Realer than ever.Today,Leaving the nanny in charge of Asher for a few hours, Dawn walks into the kitchen, rolling her sleeves up with gentle purpose."Young Mistress! Do you need anything?"

  • No Longer Shadow Of My Sister: Divorcing The CEO   I'll make peace

    Danny bolts into the hallway, heart pounding."Tiara, wait!"His voice echoes off the walls, but she doesn’t pause. Her figure is stiff, her arms wrapped around herself like a barrier, her steps quick and precise. The elevator is already arriving. She steps in without looking back.He rushes in just as the doors start to close.The small space swallows them in silence. Neither speaks. The hum of the elevator is the only sound between them.She stares straight ahead, eyes dull. Her lips press into a hard line, her breathing shallow but composed. Her hands, though, tremble slightly—fingers curled into the fabric of her coat."I didn’t expect you to say that in front of your brother," Danny says, voice quiet and even.His tone carries no accusation, only a trace of confusion, maybe guilt."Neither did I," she replies, voice brittle. "It wasn’t calculated. It just slipped out. Like a stupid truth I couldn’t hold in anymore."He exhales, looking at the floor. His hands are in his pockets,

    "Sis. Aren’t they being ridiculous?" Tiara storms inside, her voice slicing through the calm air like thunder on a sunny day.Travis blinks, still holding his phone mid-air, capturing what was supposed to be a milestone—Asher's first magical taste of ice cream. The toddler had just opened his mouth for another spoonful, lips shiny and eager, when Tiara's entrance pulls all attention to her.Asher immediately swivels his head, wide-eyed and curious. The spoon falls, landing on the floor with a tiny splat. But he doesn't care. His aunt has just entered like a whirlwind, and she looks like she's ready to bite someone.Travis exhales heavily and walks over with Asher on his hip. The little boy now has chocolate on his chin, cheeks, and even his eyebrows, but none of that matters."What happened?" Travis asks, one brow raised. "You just disturbed your nephew’s ice cream moment.""I didn’t!" Tiara leans forward to kiss Asher's forehead, her expression softening for a second before frustrati

  • No Longer Shadow Of My Sister: Divorcing The CEO   Ridiculous idea

    "What do you think you were thinking when you proposed such a ridiculous idea?" Pulling Danny aside, Dawn asks, her voice low but sharp like a blade. Her eyes scan the hallway cautiously, making sure no one overhears them. Her brows are furrowed, and her lips press into a tight, disbelieving line.Danny rubs the back of his neck, his gaze shifting downward as shame and confusion cloud his features. His lips part slightly, trying to form a response, but the words falter. "I just...!"Dawn cuts him off with a glare that could burn holes through steel. "You rejected her. Have you considered how she will feel when she sees you with some random hookups? Bruh! She is in love with you. Not some silly crush!" Her voice trembles slightly with frustration as she throws her hands up.Danny’s eyes widen. The words hit him like cold water. He knew she was in love with him—deep down, he always knew. But he just thought it would be safer this way, that if she stayed close, she wouldn’t have to face

  • No Longer Shadow Of My Sister: Divorcing The CEO   A hard decision

    " Morning Classes? We have already discussed that you can't attend Morning class with the Chancellor!" Mrs Ericson, as the VVIP member of the University director board, looks at Tiara with disbelief. After returning from the university, she has come here to ask if her mother can assign a chauffeur to drive her to the university. Since she gets scared of driving early in the morning after a bad experience. Mrs Ericson leans into her chair and takes a glance at the schedule of the chauffeur teams. There are ten chauffeurs who are in morning duties. So it won't be hard for her to assign one. But..." I will talk to the Chancellor -!'" No, Mom. Nobody knows that I am your daughter there. I don't like to tell it either. Even my friends think I am just a well-off family not some-!"" You despise your family status?" Mrs Ericson raises her brow. " No!" Tiara says, her voice echoes the frustration. " I just want to live like I don't matter to someone because of my family background. I don
