The corridor outside Bennett Fashion House’s design studio fell quiet the moment Sophia stepped back inside.

The glass doors slid shut behind her with a soft click.

Damian remained where he was, his gaze fixed on the doors longer than necessary.

Through the glass walls, the studio was still alive—designers moving between tables, fabrics being lifted, voices rising and falling in quick bursts of creative energy. It was warm in there. Alive.

The corridor around him felt cold by comparison

  • TAMED BY MY COLD EX-HUSBAND   CHAPTER 19: A SKETCH OF HIM

    Kingsley Mansion rose out of the darkness like a monument built for someone else’s life. The gates opened. The lights were on. The house was polished, elegant, perfect. And empty. Damian stepped inside. No soft footsteps. No voice calling his name. No woman waiting in the corridor with a careful smile and a question about whether he had eaten. The silence hit harder than it should have. The housekeeper appeared almost at once and bowed slightly. “Good evening, sir.” Damian gave a small nod. “Dinner is ready,” she said. “Would you like it served?” “Serve it," he simply answered. He sat alone at the long dining table. One plate had been set in front of him. One glass. One chair across from his that remained untouched. The housekeeper placed the food down quietly and stepped back. “Would you like anything else, Sir?” she asked. Damian looked at the empty seat opposite him. “No. This is enough.” He barely tasted the meal. The dining room was too quiet, too still, t

    The corridor outside Bennett Fashion House’s design studio fell quiet the moment Sophia stepped back inside. The glass doors slid shut behind her with a soft click. Damian remained where he was, his gaze fixed on the doors longer than necessary. Through the glass walls, the studio was still alive—designers moving between tables, fabrics being lifted, voices rising and falling in quick bursts of creative energy. It was warm in there. Alive. The corridor around him felt cold by comparison. He had expected Sophia to hesitate before leaving. She hadn’t. He had expected her to look back once, just once. She hadn’t. She had simply walked away, calm and polite, as though the conversation between them had already ended before either of them said a word. Damian’s jaw tightened. He didn’t move. Didn’t blink. Didn’t look away from the studio doors until Adrian Bennett came back into the corridor, shutting the last bit of private space behind him. Adrian stopped a few

  • TAMED BY MY COLD EX-HUSBAND   CHAPTER 17: CROSSING PATH

    Warm morning sunlight poured through the towering glass windows of Bennett Fashion House, bathing the spacious design studio in a golden glow. Rolls of luxurious fabric lined the shelves, sketches covered every workstation.Mannequins dressed in half-finished gowns stood like silent works of art waiting to be completed. Around the studio, designers moved with quiet purpose, discussing fabrics, adjusting patterns, and preparing for another busy day.Sophia arrived earlier than usual.She paused briefly outside the entrance, her hand resting lightly on the polished glass door.The gesture was no longer born from fear.Instead, she found herself reflecting on how much had changed since the first time she had walked into this building.Back then, uncertainty had weighed heavily on her heart. She had questioned whether she deserved to be here. She simply smiled at herself. Then she took a deep breath and encouraged herself to have confidence and she stepped inside.The receptionist immed

  • TAMED BY MY COLD EX-HUSBAND   CHAPTER 16: THE BEGINNING OF OBSESSION

    He liked schedules that ran on time, meetings that ended with decisions, and problems that could be solved with clear numbers and cleaner strategies. Emotion had never been useful to him. It slowed people down, clouded judgment, and made them weak at the exact moment they needed to be precise. That was why he told himself, as he stood alone beside the floor-to-ceiling window of his office, that he was not distracted. He was simply keeping informed. The city stretched beneath him in layers of glass and steel, but his attention kept slipping back to the tablet on his desk. Sophia’s image stared up at him from the screen, again and again captured in one of the photographs that had circulated the day before. She had been standing beside Adrian Bennett in a way that had irritated him more than it should have. Not because the photo was scandalous. Not because it suggested anything improper. It was worse than that. She looked calm. Alive. There was a softness in her face that Dam

    He sat alone in the dim light of his study room ong after the house had fallen silent, the only sound being the slow ticking of the clock that now felt louder than usual, almost irritating.As he stared at the screen in front of him where Sophia’s image remained frozen beside Adrian Bennett.Smiling faintly in a way he hadn’t seen in a very long time, not even once for him, and his fingers tightened slightly around the edge of the tablet before he finally set it down as if it had burned him.Leaning back in his chair with a controlled breath that didn’t fully settle his thoughts, because something about that image refused to leave his mind.The way she had looked relaxed, present, alive in a way she never seemed inside his own home, and that realization unsettled him more than he wanted to admit.So he stood abruptly and walked toward the window, loosening his cufflinks as he stared out at the city lights below, telling himself repeatedly that it was irrelevant.That it didn’t matter

  • TAMED BY MY COLD EX-HUSBAND   CHAPTER 14: A STEP TOWARD HERSELF

    Chapter 13: A Step Toward HerselfThe sleek glass building of Bennett Fashion House stood proudly against the morning skyline, its polished exterior reflecting the sunlight like a promise of new beginnings. Sophia stood quietly near the entrance, clutching the strap of her handbag as uncertainty filled her heart. For several moments, she simply stared at the building, unable to take another step.Lily walked beside her and gently nudged her shoulder."You've been standing here for five minutes," Lily said with a teasing smile. "If you keep staring at the building, people might think you're planning to buy it."Sophia let out a nervous laugh before lowering her gaze."I don't know if I belong here anymore," she admitted softly.Lily folded her arms and looked at her seriously."You belonged here long before you became Mrs. Kingsley," she replied. "Today isn't about Damian. It's about Sophia."Sophia remained silent.Taking a slow, steady breath, she lifted her head and looked at the e
