Elara walked through the restaurant with her heels clicking against the marble floor.Heads turned as she made her way to Rebecca's table.Becky, her fiery red hair friend was practically glowing under the amber lights. She looked as stunning as ever—that "face card" was still the most reliable currency in the city.She leaned back, swirling a martini, looking completely bored while talking to a guy in a suit that cost more than a small car leaned. He seemed desperate for her attention.Elara knew the drill. Becky was a master of the "flirt and fly." She’d give a man just enough hope to buy her a drink, then disappear the moment he started talking about "future plans."Elara cleared her throat. A smile spread across her face as she reached the table.Becky’s eyes snapped up, ignored the man mid-sentence, and lit up like a firework. "Oh, thank God," she mouthed, before standing up to pull Elara into a suffocating hug."About time!" Becky cried, pulling back to look Elara up and down. H

"Mr. Sterling," she said, her voice sharp enough to cut. "Your questions are inappropriate and honestly irritating. You are pushing it right now."Her blood was boiling. Alexander stayed silent, completely taken aback. In all the years he had known her, he had never seen her this upset. He opened his mouth to defend himself, but she cut him off before he could make a sound."I have people waiting for me at home. If you'll excuse me."She turned and began to walk away. Alex felt a sharp pain in his chest, almost as if he were clawing at it. 'People waiting at home? Did she mean a husband? Had she really moved on that much?' To him, it felt impossible. He couldn't accept that he had been replaced so easily."At least let me drive you home," he suggested desperately.Elara didn't stop. She looked him up and down with a look of pure disgust and kept walking toward the exit.Alex shot up from his seat and started following her. He didn't care about the people watching or how he looked. So

Alexander's blood was boiling. He smoothed Lyra’s hair. She was shuddering and shaking like a leaf."Whose fatherless child put a hand on my boy?" Joseph Murano yelled. His voice was loud. You could hear it from inside the office."Who touched you, Jamie?" Joseph asked his son.Jamie started sobbing hysterically. "It was Leo Vance, Daddy. He threatened me. He pushed me to the ground and yelled at me.""Vance? Who the fuck is that?" Joseph barked. "A vermin with an unrecognizable last name dared to touch my child. Do you know how much I've put into this school? I'm one of your biggest benefactors! I built your annex and science labs!""I know sir, I completely understand. It's unacceptable," Josh pacified him."I want them expelled immediately. If that's not done by the end of the day, your monthly payments stop immediately. I'll convince the other parents to do same. What's the point of the kick backs if you're going to be useless Milton!"The door swung open. Josh Milton, the directo

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

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
