Semua Bab His Loss: Divorced Heiress is now on top: Bab 1 - Bab 10

Elara’s phone buzzed on the nightstand. She grabbed it, hoping it was finally him. It was their three-year anniversary, and she hadn't heard a word from Alexander all day.The message was from an unknown number. It was just an address: [The Grand Vanguard Hotel. Ball room]"A surprise," Elara whispered. Her heart was thumping. "He didn't forget."Without a second thought, she rushed to the shower. Alexander was the perfect boyfriend. He had been her senior in college, and even though they lost touch, he had searched for her years later just to ask her out. Since then, he had been the most romantic man she’d ever known. He always remembered the little things and showered her with gifts.As she washed her hair, a huge thought hit her: 'Is he going to propose?'She jumped out and put on a white dress she had been hiding in the back of her closet. She had bought it specifically for this moment. It was the dress she wanted to be wearing when he asked her to be his wife.When she arrived a

The sound of laughter forced Elara out of sleep. She had replayed the whole interaction in her head multiple times but it made no sense. How could he throw away three years in one night?This was the same man who had chased her for years. When they finally started dating, he treated her like a queen. He was always so thoughtful and romantic. She remembered the cold look in his eyes at the party and the mean way he spoke to her. Her Alexander would never talk to her like that. He would never act that way, and he would definitely never leave her for her best friend.Elara had cried herself to sleep every night since the party. On the first day, she sat by her phone and waited. She was sure he would call to say it was all a big mistake. But he never did.For the next few days, she did the same thing, but there was only silence. Yesterday, she finally tried to call him, but it went straight to voicemail.She couldn't just sit here anymore. She had to do something. She decided she was go

Paparazzi were going crazy at the Vanguard City airport. They had been tipped off that a powerful woman had just landed. When she walked through the gates, everyone stopped to stare.She was beautiful and exuded pure power. Her eyes were striking, and she was dressed in designer clothes from head to toe. Every brand she wore was rare and hard to find.Beside her was a handsome man. He carried a young boy in his arms. The woman held a beautiful little girl who looked just like her."Mummy," the girl called out, "is this where we'll be living?""Yes, Lyra," she replied, her voice smooth and confident."Let's get ready to conquer this city, babies," she said to her children.Her whole life had done a 360. She was no longer Elara Smith, but Elara Vance.She had finally returned to the city with her twins, Leo and Lyra. By her side was her brother, Alistair Vance who had found her six years ago, right after Alexander Sterling had completely shattered her heart.She still hadn't forgotten t

Elara looked at him with angry eyes. She did not back down."First of all, Mr. Sterling, my name is Mrs. Vance," she said. Her voice was like ice. "Do not call me by any other name."The other people in the room looked at each other. They were nervous. They started to pack their bags quickly. They did not want to be in the middle of this fight."Secondly," Elara continued. She crossed her arms over her chest. "If you have something to say, say it right now. I have many appointments today. I do not have time to waste."Alex felt a sting in his heart. He hoped she would be happy to see him, but she was only angry. She was not the same girl he used to know. This woman had no time for him at all."This is private," Alex said. He looked at the last few people in the room. "It is about the future of the company."He lied just so the others would leave. He watched the door close. Finally, they were all alone in the big room. The silence felt heavy."Now," Elara said. She did not sit down. "W

In the car, Leo broke the silence. "Mummy, that man is really handsome and nice. And he’s rich, too. I think he should be our daddy. He owns the company, right?"Elara choked on her own saliva. She coughed, her face turning red from shock."What man?" Lyra asked, looking curious."Mummy’s boss," Leo responded flatly.Lyra nodded seriously. "I trust your judgment, Leo." She then looked at her mother. "Mummy, what do you think?"Elara couldn't find the words. Her mind was still back in that hallway, reliving the fear of seeing Alex again. Now, her children were giving her a heart attack by suggesting he should be their father. They had no idea he actually was their father.She needed to change the subject fast. She frowned at Leo. "Why did you threaten your caregiver?" she asked sternly.Leo pouted. He turned his head and stared out the window, trying to avoid his mother’s gaze."Leo," she called again, her voice firmer this time."Mummy?" he answered quietly, still looking at the passi
