The night air outside the hospital was cooler than she expected. It brushed against her skin like ice, yet her body felt hot inside, her chest tight with fury. Leona walked quickly across the parking lot, her heels clicking, her jaw clenched so hard it almost hurt.

The driver hurried to open the back door of the car for her. She nodded stiffly and slid inside without a word.

The door shut behind her, and the world suddenly felt quieter, smaller. Just her and the dim interior light of the car.

Her breath came out shaky. She pressed both hands against her thighs, trying to steady herself, but they trembled anyway.

“She lied,” Leona whispered, her voice breaking in the silence. “She looked right into my eyes and lied.”

Her chest ached as though someone had wrapped a rope around it and pulled tight. She leaned forward, burying her face in her hands. For a moment, all the strength she carried earlier in the doctor’s office vanished. Hot tears spilled down her cheeks, soaking her palms.

  • Unbroken: His Ex Wife's Comeback    The Real Mrs Dorian?

    NEXT MORNINGThe soft morning light spilled through the long curtains of Leona’s bedroom, brushing across the white sheets. Her eyes blinked open slowly, her body still heavy with yesterday’s thoughts. For a long moment she lay still, her mind replaying Dorian’s guilty face, Adrian’s warm voice, and Dana’s words about the Valente deal.She drew in a steady breath, then sat up. Enough lying still. She swung her legs over the edge of the bed, her bare feet sinking into the soft rug. The cool air kissed her skin as she padded toward the bathroom.Inside, steam rose as the shower hissed to life. She stepped under the spray, letting the hot water run down her back, washing away the night’s heaviness. Her palms pressed flat against the cool tile. You don’t break, Leona. You don’t bend. Not again.By the time she stepped out, wrapped in a cream robe, her mind was calmer. Her hair fell in damp waves down her shoulders, and she moved with quiet purpose as she dressed in a fitted navy dress.It

  • Unbroken: His Ex Wife's Comeback    Who Bleeds First

    The phone was still warm in her hand when a light knock sounded on the office door.“Come in,” Leona called, setting the device down.Dana stepped inside, a stack of papers tucked neatly in her arm and a sharp look on her face. She always had that air about her, like she’d read everything, calculated everything, and was only waiting for Leona to make the final strike.“Perfect timing,” Leona said, smoothing the crease in her skirt as she sat straighter. “What do you have for me?”Dana crossed the room, her heels quiet against the carpet, and placed the folder on Leona’s desk. “Something big,” she said simply, her tone carrying that weight she reserved for serious matters.Leona’s brows arched slightly. “Go on.”“It’s a foreign project,” Dana began, flipping open the folder and turning it toward her. Pages of reports, projections, and company logos spread across the desk. “A multinational group, Valente Global. They’ve announced they’re looking for one firm to handle their entry into C

  • Unbroken: His Ex Wife's Comeback    Pretender

    The ride back to the office was quiet, except for the steady hum of the car engine. Leona sat in the back seat, her gaze fixed out the tinted window, though she wasn’t really seeing the streets rushing past. Her fingers drummed lightly against her thigh, restless, sharp, like her thoughts.She could still see Dorian’s face in her mind, those wide guilty eyes that had looked at her like she was still the woman he loved. A bitter smile tugged at her lips. Pretender.He had sat across from her with that heavy guilt on his face, but where was that guilt one year ago? Where was that pity when he walked into their own home, their home, with Selene at his side and that child clinging to his hand? He hadn’t cared then. Not even an atom of pity.Her nails pressed into her palm.But he’ll learn. He’ll regret every choice he made. Every lie. Every touch that wasn’t mine.The driver’s voice broke through her storm of thoughts. “We’ll be at the office in five minutes, ma’am.”Leona blinked, draggi

  • Unbroken: His Ex Wife's Comeback    Lost The Right

    The afternoon light streamed through the tall glass windows of Leona’s office, painting the floor with soft golden lines. She sat at her desk, eyes locked on the screen in front of her, though she hadn’t read a single word of the document she’d been staring at for the last ten minutes. Her pen tapped softly against the table, a steady rhythm that betrayed the restlessness bubbling inside her.A knock came on the door. Without waiting, Dana stepped in, a slim folder pressed against her chest. “Ma’am.” she said, her voice calm and clipped, the way she always carried herself. “It’s almost time. Your meeting with Mr. Harrington at the restaurant is at three. I’ve already arranged for the driver to take you there.”Leona blinked out of her daze and straightened in her chair. She set the pen down slowly and reached for the folder Dana extended. “Right. Harrington.” Her voice was firm, though inside she still felt the heaviness pressing against her ribs.“Yes,” Dana replied with a small nod

  • Unbroken: His Ex Wife's Comeback    Just Thinking

    Leona stayed with her father a little longer, letting his calm voice soothe the sharp edges of her thoughts. She laughed softly at one of his old stories, nodding when he spoke of business, but her smile never reached her eyes.When he finally leaned back in his chair and waved a hand gently, he said, “Go and rest now, Leona. You’ve had a long day. Tomorrow, we can talk about what comes next.”She stood, smoothing her hair. “Yes, Father. Thank you.”He gave her another small nod, his eyes softer than most people ever got to see. “Sleep well, dear.”“I will,” she whispered, even though she knew sleep would be the last thing that came.Leona left the study quietly, closing the heavy door behind her. Her footsteps echoed faintly against the hall as she made her way upstairs. The house felt larger than she remembered, like the walls stretched a little wider in her absence. Or maybe it was just her heart that had shrunk, carrying too much pain inside.Butler James had already left her suit

  • Unbroken: His Ex Wife's Comeback    Calm Voice

    The plane touched down in Crestfall City with a soft jolt, pulling Leona out of the daze she’d been in for most of the flight. She hadn’t slept much, her eyes burning as she blinked at the cabin lights. Her heart felt heavy, but there was no room to crumble now. Not here, not yet. She tugged her coat closer around her shoulders, trying to shield herself from the storm inside.When the plane doors opened, she pulled her small suitcase from the overhead compartment and walked out with the crowd. The noise of the airport hit her at once, people calling out, the shuffle of feet, the echo of rolling bags. Leona kept her head down and walked straight to the exit.As soon as she stepped outside, her eyes caught a man in a dark suit holding up a small white card with her name neatly written on it.The driver lowered the card when their eyes met and walked toward her. “Miss Leona?” His voice was polite, steady.Leona nodded, forcing a small smile. “Yes, that’s me.”He reached for her suitcase
