The night pressed deep into the sky of Manhattan as Lucian stood in the silence of his office, the city lights burning faint streaks across the windows.

The sound of Isla’s voice from earlier in the day refused to leave him alone. He could still hear her voice filled with hate and disdain. Yet even with every word she hurled at him like a blade, he remembered how that voice had once promised him love and warmth. He remembered how it had been soft when she spoke of dreams and a future with him, so soft when she spoke to him, like a dream.

That was five years ago.

Five years ago, when tragedy shattered that future and broke both of their worlds apart.

He sank down into the leather chair and pressed his long fingers to the bridge of his nose, unable to banish the thought.

What had really happened that night?

He didn't want to know those versions. Those versions which Claire gave him.

Not those versions he tried to swallow down for the sake of calming his own heart

  • The Billionaire's Ex-wife is untouchable now   The Devil in a suit

  • The Billionaire's Ex-wife is untouchable now   Whispers & Lenses

    The soft winds of late autumn danced through the city, but Isla’s unease wasn’t due to the chill in the air. It started subtly. A car parked too long outside Aaric’s new school. A man in a hoodie with no child of his own loitering by the gates. And then, the woman.Aaric, smiling and clutching his art folder, had just stepped out of the classroom when the woman approached. She was stylishly dressed, pretending to be part of the school board. Her tone was friendly, her smile polite… but Isla saw her lean in too close.From the other side of the playground fence, Isla’s heart clenched. She strode over quickly, her heels sharp against the pavement.“Excuse me,” Isla’s voice was calm but commanding. “May I know who you are?”The woman didn’t expect to be confronted. Her lips twitched. “Oh, I’m with the -”“Board members are introduced to parents beforehand,” Isla cut in coldly, standing protectively between Aaric and the stranger. “And we never discussed any visits today.”The woman’s exp

  • The Billionaire's Ex-wife is untouchable now   When power meets justice

    The morning light spilled softly through the floor-to-ceiling windows of their estate. It was one of those quiet days with no meetings, no press, no chaos. Just Isla, Lucian, and Aaric. Their little family.Lucian had left his phone in the study. His emails were unanswered. For once, the world could wait as he wanted to spend all his moments with Isla and their son.In the garden, Isla laid out a brunch spread beneath the white canopy, waffles with berries, hot cocoa, fresh-cut fruit, and mini cheese sandwiches that Aaric had helped assemble, albeit a bit messily.Lucian watched them from a distance before joining them. His shirt sleeves rolled, his.hair tousled, eyes unguardedly soft.“This is what I never knew I wanted,” he whispered to Isla as she handed him a cup of coffee.She smiled, brushing a stray curl from his forehead. “This is what we fought for.”Aaric climbed into Lucian’s lap, crumbs on his cheek. “Can we go to the lake again today, Papa? And feed the swans?”Lucian n

    The prison door clanked open with a heavy groan, and Claire Blackwell looked up from her cot, wearing no makeup, no tailored suit, just a plain grey uniform and shadows under her eyes.Lucian stepped in like he still owned the world.“Lucian,” she rasped, a bitter smile curling on her lips. “So the prodigal son finally visits his mother after sending her inside a prison, huh?.”He sat down opposite her, silent for a long beat. Then, he coldly said. “I came to bury you, mother. Not mourn you.”Her smile faltered.“I thought you might want to know,” he continued, placing a thick file on the table, “I’ve dismantled your offshore accounts. The illegal brokerage in Singapore? They are Gone. The dummy shell companies funding arms and tech laundering? They are all frozen. Every hidden thing you thought I’d never find? I did.”Claire’s hands trembled for a second before she tucked them beneath the table. “You think money makes you powerful? I built -”“You built lies,” Lucian snapped, his vo

    The courtroom was silent.Every breath was held, every eye trained on the judge as she picked up the final sheet of the verdict. Outside, the rain had stopped but the storm inside had just begun.Claire Blackwell sat poised, her hair immaculate, her pearls reflecting the cold lights above. Even now, she thought of herself as untouchable.But across the room, Isla sat with Aaric in her lap, her chin lifted like a queen returning to her rightful throne.Lucian stood behind her. Silent. Steady. And Changed.The judge cleared her throat. “We grant Aaric Blackwell's custody to his biological parents.
