By the time the meeting ended, it was already past 9 PM. Ethan had left the company before Arjan. Arjan couldn’t make it to college as he had been tied up in meetings with shareholders regarding their stock purchases.

When he picked up his phone to check for any missed calls, he found several notifications and messages—some from his parents and others from Dia. Sighing, he rubbed his temple before dialing Dia’s number.

She answered after a single ring.

  • Once His: Chased By Ex-husband   Chapter 53

    Taylah spent most of her time with her grandparents, though now and then her thoughts drifted back to what had happened at the bar. One afternoon, while she was in the study searching for a book that might catch her interest, she received a call from Laurence. “Can we have dinner together?” he asked. Taylah chuckled softly and hummed in agreement. “Then Leon will pick you up this evening,” Laurence said, and she responded with another quiet hum. Taylah let out a small sigh, Laurence seemed overly concerned about her, yet she found herself liking it. She wished it could last forever. For the first time, she felt her life was turning toward something brighter, and she chose to live it for herself. Taylah twirled her phone in her hand, wondering what she should wear for the evening. Then it occurred to her that she should inform her grandparents first. She tried calling them, but it went to voicemail. After quickly sending a message, she went to get ready. Laurence had said Leon

    Taylah and Charlotte were playing when Zane joined them shortly after. That was when they were interrupted by someone. it was the Davier family, who had come to the cemetery.Arjan and Ethan had arrived there with their parents. Taylah’s expression turned bitter. How could they even have the nerve to come here?“Are you okay, Taylah?” Zane asked, glancing between her and the Davier family.“Aren’t you quite attentive for your age? It’s nothing. I’m totally fine.” Taylah patted the younger boy’s head and sighed.Zane shrugged and turned his gaze toward the crowd. The Davier family greeted the elderly couple and then stood in front of Evelyn’s grave.Taylah watched them as well, all the surrounding sounds slowly fading into the distance. Hannah took something out of her pocket and placed it on the grave. was that a locket? It certainly looked like one.Soon after, Hannah walked toward her. Taylah gestured to Zane to take his sister and step away for a moment. The younger one, quite unde

    Arjan had called Dia, To meet her and ask 'bout the Day she stabbed Taylah. He knew it was too late for him to regret, perhaps he was trying to make an effort to chase her again. Arjan chose the same place he always did when he met Dia in the past. It was a park far from bustling city. Dia was already there when he arrived. She was wearing in a brightest color, for some reason he didn't like the demeanour of the younger. When she saw him walking toward her, her face brightened. Arjan didn’t smile back, it was obvious, yet Dia brushed it off. “You finally remembered I exist? You stopped calling. You don’t pick up. Do you know how long I’ve been waiting?” She let out a soft laugh, trying to ease the tension. But Arjan neither react nor replied. Dia's face dropped seeing, how stiff Arjan was right now. “Why did you try to kill Taylah?” the words came out flatly, Dia blinked twice or thrice to process what he was saying. No doubt that the oldhag might had told him about it b

    When Taylah stepped out of the car, her grandparents were already waiting at the door, maybe Laurence had informed them about their arrival. It was not even a day passed after a trail, Laurence insisted on taking her to the old mansion since the old couple was worried a lot about her. Maybe Lyla didn't like how much of attention Laurence giving Taylah meanwhile ignoring his own children. But she couldn't complaint about anything, Laurence never liked being interuppted by anyone. Mrs. Russell didn’t say anything, She just pulled Taylah into her arms and held her tight, it was warm yet held pain. Mr. Russell stood behind them, clenching his fist. They had watched their own daughter live through heartbreak. Now their granddaughter stood in front of them with the same quiet sadness stitched into her smile. “Come inside, sweetheart,” Mrs. Russell finally said. Laurence carried the bags in. He greeted the Russells respectfully before Mr. Russell gestured toward the study. “Let’s t

    After a day, Laurence brought Taylah home. She sat quietly in the back seat, her head resting against the window. She was quite all the way home, never spoken a word. Laurence glanced at her now and then, his hands tight on the steering wheel. She was too young for this, he thought again and again, he couldn't just brush those off yet the only answer was, they can't undone what's done. Half an later, they arrived at home. At home, Dicentra had already arrived. "Hey, Girl..." Dicentra called softly, reaching out to her, trying her best to mask those pity emotions towards Taylah. "I didn't expect you, Dicentra." "I... I'm just here to deliver a message of my birthday party but informed by Mr Leon that you guys are coming, so I waited." It's all lie, Dicentra knew. Maybe a birthday was a truth among them. "I'm just tired, Di. Shall I go to my room?" Dicentra gazed at Laurence and then to Taylah, she inhaled sharply and said, "let me escort you, then." She squealed, draping

    Arjan had been going to the company regularly, but the work felt distant, making it hard for him to focus. He hadn’t realized that Taylah’s mere absence could cause so much distraction, pulling him away from the work he was once best at.The door clicked open, revealing Ethan with an annoying expression. Two brothers who were once close best friends now stood like two opposite poles.“I heard you called me and said it was urgent,” Ethan said. He didn’t ask for permission to sit; he simply did, crossing his legs.“How are things going with the east branch? I heard there was a conflict among the workers,” Arjan asked, lifting his gaze toward Ethan.“It was just something minor. I handled it. Dad happened to be there at the time, so it went smoothly,” Ethan replied.Silence fell between them, an awkward one.“I can tell you didn’t call me just for this. What do you want from me?” Ethan asked.Arjan sighed. They couldn’t continue like this, behaving as though they were enemies. He finally
