The sting of the slap still hung in the air like a ghost, sharp and humiliating. Layla’s hand pressed against her cheek, the skin already flushed red. She didn’t cry—she refused to—but her eyes shimmered with fury. Alina clung to her side, wide-eyed and trembling, while Leo stood stiff, his small hand curling around his sister’s wrist as if anchoring her to him.

The hallway outside the classroom had gone dead silent. Parents, students, even teachers who had been milling around froze in place, whispers rising in waves as they registered what had just happened. Mrs. Nigel stood with her chin high, chest heaving, as though she had just defended her family’s honor instead of striking another woman in a school corridor.

“Discipline has to start somewhere,” she declared, loud enough for the gathering crowd. “If guardians won’t do their job, then someone else must.”

Layla’s jaw tightened, but before she could speak, a new voice cut through the air.

“What the hell is going on here?”

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

    The morning air was still heavy with the aftertaste of laughter. Half-deflated balloons sagged against the high ceilings of the Hawthorne estate, ribbons trailed across polished marble floors, and the faint perfume of buttercream lingered where cake crumbs dotted the long dining table. The house, once alive with shrieks of children and music, now dozed in silence. Sienna stirred awake to the hush. The twins were tangled in each other’s arms at the foot of their bed, exhaustion written across their small faces, faint smiles still lingering as though they’d carried dreams of yesterday into sleep. She tucked the blanket tighter around them, kissed their temples, and tiptoed out. Downstairs, the light in the kitchen was soft, filtered through half-drawn curtains. Adrian was already there, sleeves rolled up, hair slightly mussed, a coffee mug in his hand. The sight stopped her for a moment—Adrian Hawthorne, the man who commanded boardrooms and sent rivals scattering, leaning against the

    The morning sun spilled through the tall windows of the Hawthorne estate, golden light dancing across the marble floors. The house hummed with life—staff hurried down the corridors with trays of balloons, rolls of ribbons, and polished silver platters that would later be piled high with cakes and sweets.But upstairs, the world was still quiet.Adrian and Sienna slipped softly into the children’s room, their steps muted against the plush carpet. They exchanged a smile, then began to sing in low, warm voices.“Happy birthday to you…”Alina stirred first, the song pulling her from her dreams. Her eyes fluttered open, wide and bright the moment she saw her parents leaning over her bed. “It’s today!” she squealed, throwing her small arms around Sienna’s neck.Leo blinked awake slower, rubbing his eyes and mumbling, “It’s too early.” But when Adrian bent down and pressed a kiss to his temple, murmuring, “Happy birthday, son,” Leo’s lips twitched into a shy smile.Within moments, Alina was

    The morning air carried the hush of something sacred. The Hawthorne car rolled down the slick city streets, its tinted windows clouded faintly by mist. Outside, a drizzle painted the world gray, droplets racing each other across the glass. Inside, silence sat between Adrian and Sienna like a third passenger.Sienna’s hands were clasped tightly in her lap, fingers white-knuckled, lips moving faintly as if in prayer. Every so often, she closed her eyes, whispering words too soft to be caught, but Adrian knew their weight. He didn’t interrupt at first—he respected the private rhythm of her fear.But when her nails began digging crescents into her palms, he reached over, strong fingers sliding against hers until he had her hand in his. His thumb stroked gently across the back of her knuckles.“If I can survive endless board meetings with men twice as stubborn as I am,” he said lightly, his voice a warm baritone breaking the tension, “I can survive this.”She let out a shaky laugh, the sou

    The office still smelled of polished wood and faint ink, but the air was heavy—so heavy it felt like no one dared breathe. Adrian Hawthorne hadn’t raised his voice. He didn’t need to. His silence was a weapon sharp enough to slice the room apart.Mr. Nigel, who just minutes ago strode in with arrogance, was no longer the same man. His confidence had shattered under Adrian’s gaze, the kind of gaze that didn’t just look at you, it dismantled you piece by piece, stripping you of lies, excuses, and pride until nothing remained but the naked truth of your weakness.“I—President Hawthorne,” Mr. Nigel stammered, his throat bobbing, his once-slicked hair damp with nervous sweat. His hands shook as he nudged his wife, who still stood frozen in disbelief. “Apologize. Now.”Mrs. Nigel flinched as though the command came with a lash. She opened her mouth, but no sound came. Her hand twitched toward her pearls as if clutching them would shield her from the storm gathering before her.Adrian didn’t

    The morning sun poured into the kitchen in soft golden streams, catching on the glass vase of lilies Sienna had set out on the counter. The smell of butter and cinnamon rolls drifted through the air, but it wasn’t food that had Alina bouncing in her seat.Her eyes sparkled, cheeks flushed pink as she babbled about colors, ribbons, and balloons.The past week had been spent Birthday planning for Leo and Alina. Their birthday was in a few days and it’ll be the first he spends with them. He had to make it worth it. Alina held the catalogue pointing “ I want pink ones, and purple, and maybe silver too because silver looks like magic,” she said, swinging her legs under the chair. “And a big cake—two layers, no, three. With stars. Can we, Mummy?”Sienna laughed softly, brushing flour from her fingers. “We’ll see, baby girl. That’s a lot of cake.”Leo, sitting across from her, pretended not to listen, eyes glued to the tablet in his hands. But the faint tug at the corner of his lips betraye
