로그인Rhea’s POV Our pictures were everywhere. People couldn’t seem to get enough of us, and honestly, neither could I.And the divorce, he never mentioned it again. Sometimes, when he wore a serious look, I feared he’d bring it up, but he never did, not even when we had just a week left on the contract. Still nothing. That had to mean something, right? At least, I thought it did, until the night we went out for dinner and were driving back.Feeling completely comfortable beside him, and probably a little too carried away by everything that had happened between us, I suddenly blurted out, “You know, I never thought you would fall for me.”The change in his expression was immediate.It was as though I had just said something completely unbelievable.“Where did you get that from?” he asked.The question shattered something inside me.I should have let it go. I should have laughed it off and changed the subject, but instead, I swallowed hard and forced a small smile. “I was just curious, that
Rhea's POVThat was just the beginning of Rowan’s possessiveness. He started staying home most days, going anxious whenever my phone rang, and worse, he’d started video-calling me at work.Typical behavior of a possessive lover.At that moment, I was the happiest girl alive. Maybe this was it. Maybe seeing me with Ethan had made him realize something.One morning, after an incredible early-morning session that had left me completely spent, my legs still weak beneath the duvet, Rowan walked into the room with a tray in his hands, just like he had been doing for the past few days.I quickly sat up, a smile spreading across my face. “Good morning.”“Good morning, Angel. How are you?” he asked in that soft tone of his, a tone I had only recently discovered he had.“Well, completely wrecked by you,” I said with a giggle.He only looked at me, his eyes filled with admiration. I could see it so clearly that it made my cheeks heat up.“I want to talk to you about something,” he said.My hand
Rhea's POVThe door was kicked open. My head jerked up on instinct, my hand already reaching for the duvet. Ethan and I exchanged glances before sitting up, and there, in front of us, stood Rowan.He staggered toward us, his steps unsteady. “Let go of my wife,” he said, again and again, as he came closer. I scrambled for my robe to cover myself, and then, without warning, Rowan collapsed to the floor.Every trace of alcohol left my system in an instant. I rushed to him where he lay.“Can you hear me?” I shook him, but there was no response. I pressed my ear to his chest to be sure he was breathing. Thankfully, he was.With the help of a few of his bodyguards and Ethan, we carried him back to his room.“Should I escort you back?” Ethan asked.I shook my head. “I’ll stay and take care of him.”Ethan lingered for a moment before he turned and left.I stayed there the rest of the night. I cleaned Rowan up, changed his clothes, and watched over him until morning, then slipped out and back
Author’s POV“Mind if we get out of here?” Rhea whispered, and before Ethan could even respond, she was already pulling him by the hand.“He’s leaving with that guy, dude,” one of Rowan’s friends said, tapping him on the shoulder.“She’s free to. That’s the plan anyway,” Rowan replied, returning to his seat as his friends followed behind him.“I have a big feeling this plan of yours is going to backfire,” one of his friends warned, shaking his head. “Don’t say I didn’t warn you.”Rowan sighed, sinking back into his seat. Instead of responding, he called his girls over, and before long, they were making out with him as usual. Still, his friend’s warning lingered somewhere in the back of his mind.Meanwhile, Rhea dragged Ethan toward the car.“Take me home,” she said, turning toward him with a playful smile. Her hand moved across his chest, slowly making its way down toward his waist. Just before it could go any further, Ethan caught her hand and held it firmly.“You are no fun,” Rhea c
Author's POVRhea sat down and picked up the papers lying on the table, forcing a smile as she flipped through page after page. So many assets. Valuable ones."I guess he was kind enough to let me have something," she said, trying her best not to let it show how much it hurt. Just a normal wife taking a few of her soon-to-be ex-husband's properties after a breakup. Totally normal. But her composure cracked the moment a knock sounded at the door.She steadied her face, checked the mirror, practiced a smile, and opened the door. Lyra stood there."Hi, bestie."The sight of her, combined with everything else, shattered whatever was left of Rhea's composure. She broke down crying. Lyra pulled her inside and held her while she sobbed.Once the tears slowed, Rhea told her everything and showed her the list of assets Rowan had given her."I'm so sorry, Rhea. I've been a bad friend. I shouldn't have judged you for falling in love. Love makes you do the unpredictable," Lyra said, rubbing her h
Rhea's POV"Ethan?" I repeated, eyes widening as I stepped into the dining room. He wasn’t bluffing. There he sat, directly across from Rowan, who was already gesturing for me to join them.Our eyes met for a brief second before I forced mine away and sat down, reluctant, waiting for some kind of explanation. A few minutes of awkward silence passed, and with it, the strong urge to just turn around and go back to my room."I wanted to apologize for today." Rowan broke the silence first.What is he blabbing about now? I asked myself. No answer came."I acted irrationally. I didn’t consider your feelings." He turned to face me fully. "I shouldn’t interfere with your life that way. You’re an adult. You know what’s best for you.""What are you talking about?" I asked, genuinely confused."I’m saying I acted possessive over you when you weren’t mine to be possessive over. I forgot you have a life to live. So, I’m apologizing." He stood. "I’ll leave you two to it. I have something important

A Few Days Back!!AUTHOR’S POV Rowan Langston was halfway out of his office when his phone rang.He had just shrugged into his jacket, his mind already shifting to numbers, timelines, and a client who hated being kept waiting. Meetings didn’t bother him. People did. Still, he moved with purpose, l
Rhea’s POV I woke up feeling like someone had used my head for drumming practice all night.My eyes opened slowly, and the first thing I felt was pain sitting right behind them. I groaned and rolled to the other side of my bed, pressing my face into the pillow like that would magically fix my life
Rhea’s POVWatching Mr. Rowan from my bedroom window never got old. He moved like he owned the world, his broad shoulders perfectly fitted in that red shirt, the faint curl of cigar smoke marking his presence. My father walked beside him, talking quietly, but I wasn’t listening. My gaze was locked,
