The rest of the day crawled by slower than usual. Leona wrapped up her final call, closed her laptop, and leaned back against her chair. The quiet hum of her office filled the air, blending with the faint ticking of the wall clock.

She stared out through the wide glass windows for a moment, the city skyline shimmering under the late-morning sun. Her lips curved slightly. Everything was falling into place, slowly, but surely.

With a soft sigh, she rose from her seat, collecting her phone and bag. “Dana,” she called, pressing the intercom button.

“Yes, ma’am?”

“Cancel my afternoon meetings. I’ll handle them tomorrow.”

“Got it,” Dana replied.

Leona grabbed her blazer from the chair and slid her arms through it smoothly. She didn’t feel like staying cooped up in the office any longer. Her mind needed a break, and she knew exactly what she wanted to do.

Cooking. It was rare these days, but every once in a while, she liked making something for her father herself. The old man always said her

    The car rolled to a gentle stop in front of the resort, the late afternoon sun casting a warm glow over the modern glass and wood facade. Leona pressed her hand to the door as Adrain hopped out first, flashing her that easy smile she’d grown so fond of.“Ready for this?” he asked, holding out his hand.Leona laughed softly, her nerves melting into excitement. “I think I’ve been ready for this since…well, since you booked it.”He grinned, tugging her gently into the passenger seat. “You deserve a break after everything. And, you know…” He leaned closer, voice soft. “I like spending time with you. Officially.”Her chest fluttered. She felt the warmth of his hand brushing hers and smiled. “Officially, huh? I like that.” She squeezed his hand back. “I like you too, Adrain. A lot.”He chuckled, the sound low and easy. “Good. I was hoping you’d say that.”The drive through the winding paths of the resort was quiet, comfortable, punctuated only by their shared glances and the occasional comm

    An hour later, Leona walked out of the building. The meeting had been productive. The board had agreed to her recommendations. The company would survive. It would thrive, even, once the scandal died down and new leadership was established.She felt lighter, steadier, like she had cut the last rope tying her to her old life. Like she had finally closed a book that should have been closed years ago.Her driver opened the car door again. She got in, settling into the familiar seat.As the car pulled away from the building, her phone buzzed.Dana.Leona answered, pressing the phone to her ear."Dana?""Ma'am… have you heard?" Dana's voice was strange, shocked, uncertain."Heard what?"Dana sucked in a shaky breath."Emily is dead."Leona didn't speak. She stared out the window, watching the city blur past."Selene pushed her during a fight," Dana continued, her words coming faster now. "They said Emily showed up at Selene's apartment screaming about how Selene had ruined Dorian's life, ru

  • Unbroken: His Ex Wife's Comeback    Final Move

    Two weeks passed, and the city still whispered about the scandal. Selene's lie. Dorian's shame. The child who wasn't his. Reporters camped outside the hospital gates like vultures waiting for carrion, their cameras ready, their questions prepared. Dorian barely showed up anywhere anymore, not at the office, not at public events, not even at the places he used to frequent with such confidence. Investors were nervous, making phone calls, holding emergency meetings, discussing their options in hushed tones. Staff members whispered in corners, speculation running wild through every floor of his company.Leona watched it all from a distance. She didn't smile. She didn't celebrate. She didn't gloat or feel any particular satisfaction in watching Dorian's world crumble.She simply waited.Every day she bought a little more of Dorian's company shares. No dramatic announcements or public declarations. She did it like someone who already knew the ending, who had read the last page of the book a

    When Dana left, Leona sat back down, opened her laptop, and got to work. She answered emails that had been piling up, checked reports with fresh eyes, signed approvals that had been waiting. She didn't feel tired. She didn't feel angry. She was steady, focused, present. She felt like she was building something, not cleaning up a mess. Not putting out fires. Actually creating something new.Hours passed, quiet and calm and productive. She lost herself in the work in a good way, in a way that felt like purpose rather than escape.At noon, Dana peeked in through the partially open door."You should eat," she said. "You've been staring at that screen for three hours straight."Leona looked up from her screen, genuinely surprised at the time. The morning had passed in what felt like minutes."You're right." She stood, stretching her arms above her head. "Let's go downstairs. I want something simple.""Sandwich and juice simple?" Dana asked hopefully."That's perfect. And maybe one of thos

  • Unbroken: His Ex Wife's Comeback    A New Morning

    Leona woke up before her alarm today, and she didn't feel that tight pull in her chest. No fear. No anger. No weight pressing down on her shoulder blades like invisible hands trying to force her into the ground. She stayed still for a moment, staring at the soft morning light painting patterns on her ceiling, watching dust motes drift lazily through the air. Her body felt strange, almost light, like she had left something heavy behind in her sleep, like someone had quietly removed chains she'd worn for so long she'd forgotten they were there.She turned her head slowly and looked at the clock on her nightstand.6:03 a.m.She breathed out slowly, feeling the air leave her lungs in a way that felt different. Cleaner somehow.Then she smiled. A small one, but real. Genuine. Not forced. Not performed for anyone's benefit.She got out of bed, her feet touching the cool floor, and made her way to the bathroom. She brushed her teeth, washed her face with cold water that shocked her skin awa

    THE LUNCH They walked out of the building together, side by side, their pace matched and unhurried. Dana watched from the reception desk, smiling into her tablet like she wasn't obviously invested in exactly what was happening, like she hadn't been hoping for this exact outcome.Outside, the wind was cool, carrying the faint scent of rain that might come later. The sun wasn't too harsh, filtered through a thin layer of clouds that softened everything. Adrian led the way to a small place around the corner, a simple café with green plants by the window and soft music playing inside, the kind of place that didn't try too hard, that just was what it was.It wasn't fancy. It wasn't loud.It wasn't a place for power games or business posturing.It was… gentle.He held the door for her, a small gesture that felt natural rather than performative. She stepped inside, feeling the warm air brush over her arms, feeling the tension she'd been carrying in her shoulders start to ease without her ev
