Sunrise After Divorce; The Comeback Queen Chapter 254. Shattered Illusions
Author's POV ~Scarlett moved quietly through her mansion that same night. The twins had been tucked into bed, their nanny quietly closing the bedroom door behind her. Scarlett exhaled, her heart heavy, yet her mind was buzzing with a single thought. The message she had seen on Stefan’s phone earlier had not left her alone. Someone was coming to spend the night at his bar, and she needed to know the truth for herself. She had spent too long wondering, doubting, and pretending, and now it was time to confront reality, no matter how painful it might be.She slipped into a dark hoodie, pulled on her glasses, and checked herself in the mirror. Her face was pale, tense, and determined. No one could recognize her like this. She grabbed her keys and quietly left the house, moving with deliberate silence. The drive through the quiet streets gave her time to calm her racing thoughts, yet she could not ignore the knot of anxiety in her stomach. She rehearsed what she would do, how she would con
Sunrise After Divorce; The Comeback Queen Chapter 253. When truth finally reached home
Author's POV ~Scarlett gripped the steering wheel tightly as she drove through the city streets. Her thoughts refused to quiet down, circling relentlessly around Charlotte and everything that had happened in that mansion. Every word Charlotte had spoken played over and over in her mind, like a recording she could not stop. She felt a deep ache as she thought about how easily she had believed the rumors, how quickly she had doubted Ethan, and how wrong she had been to let suspicion guide her judgments.Tears pricked at the corners of her eyes as she recalled Charlotte’s words, her bold admission of what she had done. Scarlett still could not comprehend the audacity, the sheer shamelessness, of it. Charlotte had accused Ethan falsely, and yet she had laughed in Scarlett’s face when Scarlett pressed her for the truth. Scarlett had wanted to slap her, had wanted to shake her until she spoke honestly, but Charlotte had held her hand and pushed her away coldly. The arrogance had cut deeper
Sunrise After Divorce; The Comeback Queen Chapter 252. When doubt refuses to stay silent
Author's POV ~Scarlett sat on the edge of her bed, her elbows resting on her knees and her fingers pressed against her forehead. The quiet of the room felt heavier than usual, almost as if it was waiting for her to speak first. Her thoughts kept looping back to the conversation she had with Ethan. Every word he said replayed in her mind, tugging at the parts of her heart she tried so hard to bury. She wished she could push everything aside and pretend she was fine, but nothing felt simple anymore.Her grandmother’s voice lingered in her memory. McKenzie had always been the one who saw through her, the one whose words stayed long after everyone else’s faded. She remembered standing across from her in that living room yesterday, listening to her grandmother’s gentle voice tell her to follow her heart and not the noise around her. At the time, she nodded and agreed but never truly absorbed what she heard. Now those words pressed against her chest as if they refused to let her run from t
Sunrise After Divorce; The Comeback Queen Chapter 251. When home finally felt warm again
Author's POV ~Ethan pulled up in front of the mansion and parked beneath the wide shade of the stone archway. The engine went quiet but the excitement in the back seat did not. Eric unbuckled himself in one quick motion and pushed the door open before Ethan even finished stepping out. Emily followed, her small shoes tapping lightly against the pavement as she looked around with wide, curious eyes.Eric grabbed her hand immediately.“You’re going to love it here,” he said with a grin. “Come on.”Ethan watched them with a gentle ache in his chest, his eyes filled with admiration as he stared at them. The twins stepped away from the car, their faces glowing. The house looked almost new in the morning light. He had lived in it for years but seeing their excitement made him look at it differently.“Dad,” Eric called, looking back at him. “Why did you bring us home today?”Ethan shut the car door and walked toward them. “Because I wanted you both to see your grandmother,” he said. “My moth
Sunrise After Divorce; The Comeback Queen Chapter 250. A door he still knocked on.
Author's POV ~Ethan slowed the car as the Scott mansion came into view. The tall iron gates stood open much quicker than they had yesterday. The security men barely glanced at him before allowing him through. He noticed immediately that they were less tense and less aggressive. Yesterday they looked ready to drag him out of the car if he breathed wrong. Today they nodded politely.Scarlett must have spoken to them. She probably told them not to treat him like an intruder. Ethan could not tell if that was a good thing or a complicated one. He parked near the entrance and stepped out. The front doors opened before he reached them. Two maids greeted him warmly and ushered him inside.The mansion smelled like polished wood and something faintly floral. It reminded him of the early days of his marriage, when he would come home and see Scarlett decorating in every corner just to make the house feel alive. He pushed that thought away as he walked deeper into the foyer.He heard footsteps on
Sunrise After Divorce; The Comeback Queen Chapter 249. A fragile Path Forward
Author's POV ~Ethan kept his hands on the steering wheel, knuckles white, eyes shadowed with exhaustion. His breaths were uneven, and when the ache inside him twisted again, he slammed the wheel one more time. The sound echoed inside the car, sharp and angry.Dylan flinched but didn’t react with annoyance. He studied Ethan carefully. “You can’t keep doing that,” he said. “It won’t fix anything.”Ethan didn’t respond. His chest rose and fell heavily, and he blinked back the sting behind his eyes. He was trying to breathe through it, but the emotions were too raw, too loud, too overwhelming.Dylan placed a steady hand on Ethan’s arm. “Listen to me. I’ll come up with another plan. We’re not done.”Ethan’s voice cracked. “I’m sick of this, Dylan. I’m done trying to prove anything. I’m done trying to gather evidence. I can’t do this anymore.”Dylan pulled his hand away in disbelief. “Are you in your right mind.”Ethan stared ahead, refusing to look at him.“You want to give up now,” Dylan
