The car ride back to the estate was heavy with silence. The city lights streamed past the tinted windows in fractured ribbons, but inside, the air between Sienna and Adrian was thick, unspoken. She kept her eyes fixed on the glow of her phone though she hadn’t opened a single app in the last fifteen minutes.

When the gates finally swung open and the driver eased the car up the circular driveway, a small figure burst from the front door before the tires had even stilled.

“Daddy!”

Alina’s voice carried across the stone steps, bright and unguarded. She raced down, her little shoes clapping against the pavement before Adrian had the chance to step out. He bent low instinctively, arms open, and she flew into him, knocking him back with her weightless force.

“You’re home!” she squealed, hugging his neck as if afraid he’d vanish if she let go.

Adrian’s chest rumbled with a low laugh—strained, but genuine. He kissed her hair, breathing in the scent of strawberries and shampoo. “I’m

  • Signed Sealed and Divorced. The CEO’s biggest regret   Chapter Hundred Forty- Eight

    Layla woke before her alarm.It wasn’t sudden. There was no jolt, no panic. Just a quiet awareness sliding into her chest, pulling her gently out of sleep. Her eyes opened slowly, blinking against the dim blue light seeping through the curtains. Morning had arrived without announcing itself.For a long moment, she didn’t move.The apartment was still in that fragile way only early morning could manage. No traffic yet. No voices drifting up from the street. No notifications lighting up her phone. Just silence, soft and almost reverent, like the world was holding its breath.Beside her, Voss slept.She turned her head slightly, careful not to disturb the mattress. He lay on his back, one arm bent above his head, the other resting loosely at his side. His breathing was deep and steady, the slow rise and fall of his chest grounding her more than she realized she needed.She listened to him.Each breath felt like an anchor. Proof that this moment was real. That she wasn’t imagining the lif

    Layla watched Voss for a long moment before she moved.He sat on the couch the way he often did when something weighed on him, leaning forward slightly, forearms resting on his thighs, hands loosely clasped. His phone lay forgotten beside him. His eyes were distant, not cold, just thoughtful. The light from the window touched his face softly, outlining the sharpness of his jaw, the tired strength in his shoulders.Something about him like this always pulled at her chest.She walked toward him slowly, barefoot, careful not to break the quiet that had settled over the room. The apartment felt warm, lived-in, safe. It felt like theirs, even if only for today.“Voss,” she said gently.He looked up immediately, concern replacing whatever thoughts had held him. “Hey.”She stopped right in front of him. “You look bothered.”He gave a small shrug, forcing a smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes. “I’m fine my love.”She studied him. “That wasn’t an answer.”He exhaled softly through his nose.

    Layla stepped out of the bathroom, the warm scent of her shower clinging to her skin. She paused for a moment, letting the towel slide down, wrapping herself in a soft, worn cotton robe. Her hair was damp, strands sticking slightly to her cheeks, the soft smell of shampoo mingling with the faint perfume she always wore. She moved deliberately, almost ceremoniously, choosing an outfit that felt safe but pleasant, a cream-colored linen blouse that fell loosely around her torso, tucked into soft gray trousers that brushed against her ankles. She tugged gently at the waistband, adjusted the sleeves of the blouse, then tied her hair back into a loose ponytail, letting a few strands fall around her face. It wasn’t about looking perfect. It was about feeling herself again, comfortable, untethered from fear, even if only slightly. From the couch, Voss’s gaze followed her like a careful observer, but there was no judgment, no impatience, only a quiet admiration. The way she moved, the sm

    Voss opened the car door and stood there for a moment, unable to move. Layla was still in the same position he had left her in. Her body was curled inward, knees pulled tightly to her chest, arms wrapped around them as if she was trying to protect herself from something unseen. Her head was bowed, hair falling forward, hiding her face completely. The car was quiet except for the faint, broken sounds coming from her chest. She wasn’t sobbing loudly anymore. She was past that. Her cries were quiet now, cracked, uneven. The kind of crying that came after the storm, when someone had already screamed themselves empty and was left with nothing but pain and exhaustion. Voss felt something twist sharply in his chest. “Layla,” he said softly. She flinched. Her head snapped up, eyes wide and red, lashes clumped together with tears. She looked at him like she wasn’t sure he was real. Like she was afraid he might disappear if she blinked. Then her face crumpled. “Voss—” she gasped, he

    The door opened slowly.Bernice walked back into the room with a slim brown envelope in her hand, the kind hospitals used. It looked harmless. Ordinary. But the way she held it, firmand confident, it made Layla’s heart begin to pound so hard she could hear it in her own ears.Layla’s fingers tightened around Voss’s hand. Her palm was cold, damp with sweat and Voss pressed her it in a reasurring manner.Bernice closed the door behind her and sat down with calm precision. She placed the envelope on the table between them, smoothing it once with her fingers like she was laying down the final card in a game she already knew she would win.“This,” Bernice said softly, “will clarify everything.”The room felt smaller. The air heavier.Voss didn’t move. He didn’t speak. His face was unreadable.Layla stared at the envelope. Something deep inside her screamed that whatever was inside it would destroy her.Bernice opened it slowly.She pulled out the first paper and slid it across the table.L

    The morning light filtered softly through the blinds, casting stripes across the bedroom floor. Layla stirred, blinking against the brightness, but her body felt heavy, weighed down by the memories of last night. The warmth of Voss’s presence lingered beside her, the faint scent of his cologne still clinging to the sheets, but it wasn’t comforting this morning. Her stomach was tight with worry. The thought of his mother loomed over her like a storm cloud. What could she have discovered? What could she possibly know about her past? She tried to push the thoughts away, to focus on the quiet calm of the morning, but they kept circling, growing heavier with every heartbeat. Voss was already awake. The soft clinking of cups and the low hum of the coffee machine reached her ears as she slipped out of bed. He didn’t look up as she entered the kitchen, his focus entirely on preparing their morning coffee. He moved with a precision that betrayed the tension in his shoulders, the set of his
