First-Person POV

CEO

Heir/Heirness

Contract Marriage

Face-Slapping

Divorce

Elysia had loved Orion for ten years, watching from the shadows as he chased after someone else. Their contract marriage was supposed to be temporary—a favor for family, a mask for the public—but a year of shared mornings, quiet dinners, and unspoken tenderness made her believe maybe, just maybe, he had chosen her. Then the woman he never stopped loving came back. And in less than 24 hours, he handed Elysia the divorce papers. No warning. No hesitation. She didn’t beg. She signed and walked out of the home she helped build—quietly carrying the child he never asked for. But secrets don’t stay buried. When Orion finds out she’s pregnant, his world doesn’t crack—it detonates. The woman he thought he could cast aside… is the one now slipping through his fingers. “You erased me like I never existed.” her voice was calm, eyes distant. It broke him. “Because I thought you’d always be there.” She sighed. "I havr someone who looks at me and really sees me now. You can leave." Now, it’s not just about love—it’s about guilt, consequences, and Orion chasing trying to win Elysia back after she finally stopped waiting. Will she forgive him or move on with her new lover?

CHAPTER 1
Elysia worked like a machine in the kitchen, sautéing, simmering, frying and cooking different dishes at once, if there was one thing she was good at, it was making magic with dishes and that night she had purposefully gone all out to curate magic for her husband. "Set the table, we have less than half an hour." She glanced at the digital clock in the kitchen as she worked and gave instructions to those that assisted her.She had an apron over her dress and a chef's cap hid her soft brown hair, her pair of mittens hung on the oven's door, she had long taken out the fish she had put in it and didn't have need for it anymore.Carefully, she sprinkled the already cut pepper and onions in the pot and left it to steam for a while before adding her vegetable and stirring.The island in the middle of the space provided her with a kind of feeling that often made her feel like she was in a cooking show as she moved with skill beating the hands of the clock."Done," she exhaled excited gi

CHAPTER 2
He frowned, he had not expected such a blunt response from her, it made his mind wonder how long she had endured their union waiting for the day that she would be free eventually. "Yes, my secretary will bring them over tomorrow, you can be certain of assets and cash compensation." He added but she rolled her eyes at him.Why couldn't he understand her? It was not about the money, the security or the lifestyle, she wanted none of it if he wasn't going to be present to live it all out with her but she couldn't explain it to him, their relationship had been lopsided from the start and it was better for her to move on."Don't roll your eyes,"TskShe excused herself to the kitchen, her heart swelling and heavy, her reality was slipping away and there was nothing she could do about it.After some minutes, she willed herself to return to the table."You barely ate your food. Why?" His voice was low but irritated. She knew how much he hated it when she didn't eat so she sat back down at t

CHAPTER 3
They said joy came in the morning and the weeping ended at night, they were right. The morning brought peace to Elysia as she found herself cocooned in the embrace of her lover, his chocolate smell calming her nerves but not for long.Her joy was short lived as she remembered the events of his previous night, she tried to pull away but his hold around her was firm."Stay," he mumbled in his sleep but only if those words held a different meaning then she would have stayed. She couldn't let herself get lost in his gentle side since she knew he was no longer hers to keep.Maybe he was never; just a borrowed property."No," she forced his arm from around her and he rolled onto his back giving her space to climb out of the bed.'What's with the attitude,' Orion found himself a little irritated by the way she had refused to stay a little longer with him on bed. He watched her retreat to the bathroom without saying a word before glancing at the clock on the bedside stand.It was barely past

CHAPTER 4
Since Elysia was the only family Nana had, Orion had made sure to hire nurses to take turns in looking after Nana in her absence. "You seem a little cold today," the jolly old woman noticed her bubbly granddaughter was unusually quiet.Elysia had asked the nurse on duty to take the day off when she arrived so she could keep herself a little busy and distracted while she was there."I can't find the pear," she ignored Nana's comment and continued to wash, cut and throw the fruits into the blender."Silly girl, they are where they always are." Nana knew her very well, she knew that she was avoiding the topic.The kitchen was well furnished with an oven, a small table at the center with chairs round it that served as a dinning area.Nana liked to sit in the kitchen and watch as her meal was being prepared, in her youthful days, she had been a chef so she spent most of her time in the kitchen but she was not willing to part with the thrill of the feeling even if she could no longer prepa

CHAPTER 5
Elysia went about her day's routine, shopping for groceries and reading books, she always enjoyed going out for the grocery shopping with the maids so she often did.Also, the doctor had told her the importance of exercise while not stressing herself at all.A lot was about to change, she had not even gone through the details of her assets to know if she was going to keep the house or not.She wasn't certain which she wanted either. The day was long and lonely and even if she stayed that way every other day, the image of her signature on the documents kept her conscious of the fact that it was real. She was no longer married to Orion.She was no longer Mrs Steelhart."Should I clear the plates Ma'am?" "Hmm," she nodded."You have barely eaten today." The maid was concerned, Elysia knew that she had to eat healthy for the sake of her baby but none of the food appealed to her appetite."I'll have a bowl of mushroom soup," she requested knowing she had to eat for two people.She sat i

CHAPTER 6
If there was one place Elysia could find solace in, it was very obvious. Her grandmother's home. As she dried the plates, she masked her face with a wry smile, irrespective of the fact that the event that had happened recently seemed to partially break her. “What's taking you so long, girl?” Her angelic voice seemed to jolt Elysia out of her thoughts.“Are you doing something else other than that?” Nana had an attitude of asking questions continuously till she was given an answer to at least one of them. “No, Nana,” the clattering sound of the plates colliding against one another, the sound of running water and the mowing of the mawn outside done by the gardener filled the air and made it almost impossible for anyone around her to hear what she had just said, not to talk of her grandmother who was ten meters away from her, at the very least. She knew she had to get out of the kitchen if she was going to answer her, so she did just that. Walking into the sitting room, Elysia fo

CHAPTER 7
Elysia sat idly for a while just staring. "Elysia!" She didn't respond, didn't hear her name.“Go home to him,” Nana jolted her out of her thoughts again and Elysia nodded. “Tell him I wished him a happy birthday and shower him with love too.” “Okay, Nana,” with a warm embrace, she made her way out of the house after bidding her goodbye. She did not want to show her grandmother that she was hurting, that she was willing to show him love but it was one sided. How could she even tell her that he cared, but there was no sign of love in his eyes, that he was the perfect definition of caring without loving? Sigh. As she walked into the house, she came to an abrupt stop, and her eyes widened as she saw the familiar figure sitting on a couch with a bottle of alcohol in his hand; he looked wasted. When did Orion start drinking?"Where...where have you been?" His speech was slurred.“What is wrong with you?” Elysia demanded as she forcefully took the bottle out of his hands, but swif

CHAPTER 8
She was about to walk out of the house, but she came to a stop, heaving a grieving sigh that was hard to point out the cause. Pain? Frustration? Relief? The questions were endless, but it had no answer. “I don't think we should go to a hospital,” she resisted. The risk was too high.Earlier on, she had agreed to go, but after giving it a second thought, she declined and was about to return to her room when he took her hand. It was cold. He scanned her face with his eyes, "your hands," she snatched it away. “Are you hiding something from me?” He demanded, his voice low yet screaming authority. “If you are, then it's best you tell me, because either way, I'll find out in the end. What is wrong with you?” her stomach churned.She fidgeted then shook her head. “What's there to hide? I told you already, maybe it was the food that failed to digest.” he wasn't buying it and she could see that.He raised a brow and stared at her.“Or it was bad, you don't need to argue further.” “Elysia

CHAPTER 9
Chapter 9The air in the hospital was a little bit cool, biting through the thin fabric of Elysia’s chiffon top or it was her helplessness that made her cold.Plain white walls, monochrome colored furniture and people everywhere, someone was crying in the arms of another. Someone paced the lobby, the smell of antibiotics filled the air as well, Elysia truly felt sick in her stomach suddenly. ”Good evening, sir, good evening, ma'am,” Upon arrival at the hospital, they came across a nurse who welcomed them warmly. Her neatly ironed uniformed and toothy smile told a tale of her loving her job.“Please what are you here for?” In the most polite way ever, she asked. Elysia did not stop moving, and that prompted the nurse to follow her from behind, closely. She noticed Orion's presence and she turned back to him. "I think she's unwell but she's refusing to say anything about it. Can you help me find out what's wrong with her?" he paused in his tracks. "Sure and you are?" "Orion..." he

CHAPTER 10
“Give me a minute,” Orion said to the nurse and answered the call. A sob came from the other end of the line immediately after he picked up the call, causing his forehead to crease in concern. “What happened?” He hurriedly asked, his voice heavily laced with worry. "Where are you?" "I took my wi—Elysia to the hospital, she's feeling unwell."A loud sniffle filled his ear before she let out any word past her lips. “I-I, um, got into a really terrible accident, and I re-really need you here. I'm in pain,” she said amidst sobs. “Text the address to me,” he said to her in a half panicked state. “I'll be there as fast as I can,” he added. “oh my, I knew you would come, I'll be waiting,” she mumbled and ended the call. Not long after she ended the call, she sent the address. Orion stared at the screen, torn between two women; he had no idea what decision to make. Either to move to the love of his life, Seraphina, who seemed to be in pain and terribly injured, or to follow the nurse
