Hey! I Want You Back
Three years ago, Adrian Wolfe, a ruthless billionaire, and Elena Carter, a talented architect, had a whirlwind romance that ended in a bitter divorce. Adrian's obsession with work and his cold, detached nature pushed Elena away. Feeling unseen and unloved, she walked out of his mansion—and his life—determined to build her own success.
Now, Elena has made a name for herself in the industry and is living her best life—until she lands a high-profile contract that puts her face-to-face with the man she swore to leave behind. Adrian, who never truly got over her, is her new client.
At first, Elena is determined to keep things professional, but Adrian has other plans. He never wanted the divorce and now sees this as his second chance. He’s willing to chase, fight, and prove to her that he’s changed. But Elena isn’t convinced. She refuses to fall for the same man who once shattered her heart.
As they work together, buried emotions resurface. Sparks fly, but so do old wounds. Adrian is used to winning in business, but can he win back the only woman he ever loved? And when a hidden truth about their past comes to light, will it break them apart forever—or finally bring them back together?

Chapter: A Father's ResolveJohn Carter wasn’t a man who worried without reason. Years of experience had taught him to trust his instincts, and right now, every single one of them was telling him that Adrian Wolfe’s return wasn’t just a coincidence. He sat at his kitchen table, a fresh cup of coffee in front of him, untouched. The morning sunlight streamed through the window, casting a golden glow over the wooden surfaces, but John’s mind wasn’t on the peaceful morning. It was on his daughter. With a sigh, he picked up his phone and dialed Elena. She answered on the third ring. “Dad?” “Morning, sweetheart,” he said, keeping his voice even. “How’s my granddaughter?” “She’s still asleep,” Elena replied, a hint of amusement in her voice. “She had a late night reading her picture books.” John smiled at that. Aria was smart, just like her mother. But the warmth in his chest faded as he leaned back in his chair, bracing himself. “I heard something,” he said, his tone shifting. “Adrian’s back in town.” There was

Chapter: Beyond The PastElena sat on the edge of her bed, staring at the gown Sophie had laid out for her. It was elegant, classic, the kind of dress that demanded attention without trying too hard.She ran her fingers over the fabric, her mind still warring with itself.Her phone buzzed beside her.Sophie.You’ve been thinking too long. It’s time to make a decision.Elena bit her lip.She had made a decision.Standing up, she walked over to her closet and carefully hung the gown back where it belonged. She exhaled slowly, her chest tight but certain.Then, she turned, walked down the hall, and found Aria curled up on the couch, flipping through a picture book.Elena smiled softly, sinking down beside her daughter. “Mind if I join you?”Aria grinned and scooted closer. “You never have to ask, Mommy.”As Elena wrapped an arm around her little girl, she felt it—the calm she had been searching for all evening. She didn’t need to go back. Not tonight.Maybe not ever.Across the city, Adrian checked his watch for

Chapter: Unspoken ChoicesElena stared at the message on her phone, her pulse quickening.You should come tonight. No expectations. Just a conversation.It wasn’t signed, but she didn’t need to guess who had sent it.Adrian.Her grip tightened around the device, conflicted emotions swirling inside her. A conversation? After three years of silence? After she had rebuilt her life, piece by piece, away from him? He had no right to pull her back in like this.But, deep down, she knew he still had that power.She let out a slow breath and tossed the phone onto the coffee table. She wouldn’t respond. Not yet.“Mommy?”Elena turned at the sound of her daughter’s voice. Aria stood in the doorway, rubbing her sleepy eyes, her dark curls a wild mess from her nap.“Hey, sweetheart,” Elena said softly, opening her arms. Aria wasted no time climbing onto the couch beside her, nestling against her side.“You okay?” Aria mumbled, her small fingers playing with the fabric of Elena’s sleeve.Elena smiled, pressing a kiss to he

Chapter: A Choice To MakeElena Carter stood by the floor-to-ceiling window of her apartment, gazing out at the city lights. The invitation to the gala sat on the marble coffee table behind her, untouched, as if opening it would force her to make a decision she wasn’t ready for. A soft knock on the door broke her thoughts. "Come in," she called, not turning around. Her assistant, Sophie Bennett, stepped inside, holding a neatly organized planner against her chest. Always prepared, always composed—Sophie had been her rock through more than just business matters. "I saw the invitation on your desk earlier," Sophie said, closing the door behind her. "Are you planning to go?" Elena sighed, rubbing her temples. "I don’t know." "You don’t know?" Sophie echoed, setting her planner down on the couch. "Or you don’t want to deal with a certain someone?" Elena turned, giving her a pointed look. "I walked away from that life three years ago. I don’t owe anyone anything." Sophie crossed her arms. "No, you don’t. Bu

Chapter: Fractured CompusureAdrian sat in his dimly lit home office, a tumbler of whiskey resting on the desk beside him. The glow of his laptop screen illuminated his sharp features, but his focus wasn’t on the financial reports in front of him. His mind was elsewhere—still trapped in the past, in Elena’s eyes, in the emotions he wasn’t supposed to feel anymore. A soft knock on the door pulled him back. "Come in," he said, his voice steady, betraying nothing. Victoria stepped inside, her posture as composed as ever, but her gaze flickered briefly to the untouched whiskey glass. She knew Adrian too well. This wasn’t just an ordinary night. “I wanted to go over your schedule for tomorrow,” she said, keeping her tone neutral. She set her tablet down, scrolling through the agenda. "You have an early call with the Tokyo office at eight, a board meeting at ten, and—" She hesitated. Adrian leaned back in his chair, sensing it immediately. "And?" Victoria glanced at him, debating whether to continue. "There’s a

Chapter: Unwanted EchoesThe city lights blurred through the tinted windows as the car moved steadily through the evening traffic. The hum of the engine filled the silence, a stark contrast to the storm brewing inside Elena Carter. She sat stiffly in the backseat, arms crossed, jaw clenched. The cool leather beneath her palms should have been soothing, grounding—but nothing could erase the echo of Adrian Wolfe’s voice from her mind. Why did he still have this effect on her? She exhaled sharply, tilting her head back against the seat. She should be over this. Over him. It had been three years since she walked away from their marriage, three years of carefully reconstructing her life, piece by piece. And yet, one meeting—one damn look from him—had unraveled everything. “Elena?” She blinked, realizing the driver had spoken. Paul, her longtime chauffeur, glanced at her through the rearview mirror. “Yes?” she said, her voice sharper than intended. “Would you like me to take the long route home? The t
