Alex was walking toward his office when he suddenly spotted Aaron stepping out of the lawyer’s office. He quickly ducked behind a parked car, watching as Aaron stomped out of the building, his face twisted in frustration. Alex frowned, curiosity rising in his chest. What was Aaron up to now?

He followed Aaron discreetly as he walked down the street and stopped at a small café. Alex entered a few minutes later and took a seat in the corner, watching Aaron sip his coffee angrily. Without wasting time, Alex pulled out his phone and dialed Richard Caldwell’s number.

The lawyer picked up after a few rings. “Mr. Greyson,” Richard’s voice came through, sounding slightly annoyed.

“Hey, Richard,” Alex said casually. “Was Aaron just there?”

There was a brief pause before Richard sighed. “Yes, he was here. But listen, Alex, I don’t know what’s going on between you two, and quite frankly, I don’t care. I won’t tolerate any more questions about Mira’s estate. My client’s wishes are final.”

  • Ex-Wife Craves Revenge    A Mother’s Heart

    Chapter 13 – A Mother’s HeartMira’s POVI lay in my hospital bed, staring at the ceiling when my phone buzzed beside me. I reached for it, expecting it to be Alex checking in on me again. But instead, my heart stopped when I saw the name on the screen—Josh.I sat up quickly, my fingers trembling as I opened the message. It wasn’t a normal text. It was a long message, written in the form of a letter. I swallowed hard, my heart racing as I began to read.“Hi Mom,I know you can’t read this because you’re gone, but I just wanted to talk to you. I miss you so much. I don’t know what to do anymore.I ran away from home today. I packed my stuff and left. I know you would probably be mad at me for doing something like this, but I couldn’t stay there anymore. I heard Dad talking to Grandma… he… he killed you, Mom. He admitted it. I heard him say it with my own ears. I don’t even know how to feel. I thought he loved you, but he didn’t. He lied to me all this time. He told me you left because

    Chapter 14 – A Mother’s Desperate PleaMira’s POVThe moment Alex stepped into my hospital room, I couldn’t hold back anymore. I grabbed his hand, my voice shaking. “Alex, please… take Josh home with you.”Alex looked down at me with concern in his eyes. “Mira, do you know where he is?”I swallowed hard and reached for my phone, showing him the long message Josh had sent me. Alex took the phone from my hand, his eyes scanning over the words. I could see the way his jaw clenched as he read, the way his brows furrowed deeper with each sentence.“He’s at the park,” I whispered, trying my best to describe it. “The one we used to go to. It has those swings he loves so much, and there’s a big tree with a bench right underneath it. That’s where we used to sit and talk.” My voice cracked at the memory, but I pushed through it. “He’s all alone, Alex. Please, you have to go get him.”Alex handed my phone back and sighed. “Mira, what if… what if I bring him here to you?”I stared at him, shocked

  • Ex-Wife Craves Revenge    Aaron’s Indifference

    Chapter 16 – Aaron’s IndifferenceAaron pushed open the front door of his house with his girlfriend, Clara, trailing behind him. The two were laughing softly, his arm draped lazily over her shoulder as they made their way inside. Clara leaned up and kissed him on the cheek, her lips leaving a faint smudge of red on his skin.“Finally,” Aaron said, kicking off his shoes and pulling Clara closer. “Some peace and quiet.”Clara grinned, running her fingers through his hair. “I thought you’d never get us out of that restaurant. You’ve been distracted all evening.”Aaron smirked. “Well, I’m focused now.” He leaned in, his lips brushing hers as they started kissing.Before their moment could deepen, the sound of hurried footsteps interrupted them. One of the cooks appeared at the edge of the hallway, her face pale and worried. “Sir—”Aaron pulled back with an annoyed sigh, his expression immediately turning sour. “What is it?”The cook hesitated, wringing her hands nervously. “It’s… it’s Jos

  • Ex-Wife Craves Revenge    Protecting Josh

    Chapter 17- Protecting JoshI couldn’t believe what I had just overheard. Aaron’s voice, so cold and detached, echoed in my mind like a broken record. I stared at Alex, who stood near the door with his phone in hand, his jaw tight and his knuckles white from gripping the device too hard.“Unbelievable,” I muttered under my breath, shaking my head. I didn’t know why I was surprised anymore. Aaron’s indifference had always been glaring, but hearing it laid out so plainly—how he couldn’t even at least to check on his son’s wellbeing or bother to confirm where he was—still hit me like a punch to the gut.Alex finally ended the call, his frustration visible in the way he shoved his phone into his pocket. He turned to me and sighed. “He’s something else, isn’t he?”I scoffed, crossing my arms over my chest. “That’s putting it lightly.”Alex sat down on the chair beside my hospital bed, rubbing his temples. “He assumed Josh was with me the whole time.

    Chapter 18 – Beneath the SurfaceAlex leaned back in his office chair, his phone pressed to his ear. The faint hum of traffic outside his penthouse windows filled the silence as he listened to the voice on the other end. The person on the line wasn’t just an associate—this was someone Alex trusted implicitly, someone who had stood by him during the messiest periods of his life.“Alex,” the voice began, laced with curiosity. “I’ve been meaning to ask you something.”Alex tilted his head, sensing the weight behind his friend’s tone. “What is it?”There was a pause, as if his friend was choosing his words carefully. “I’ve been watching the way you’ve been handling things with Mira. And don’t get me wrong, you’ve gone above and beyond to help her. But I can’t help but wonder—what’s your endgame here? Why are you doing all this?”Alex let out a small sigh, his fingers tapping rhythmically against the desk. “I’m doing it because she needs help,” he said simply.“That’s not all, though, is i

    Chapter 18 – A Battle of WillsAaron pulled up in front of the school, glancing at the time on his watch. He was already irritated. He hadn’t wanted to come himself, but since the cook had been nagging about Josh’s whereabouts, he decided to just pick the boy up and put an end to the complaints. It was a simple task—drive in, pick up his son, and go home.But as soon as he spotted Josh standing near the school gate, he knew things wouldn’t be that easy.Josh was standing there, arms crossed, a stubborn look on his small face. He didn’t even move when Aaron’s car came to a stop in front of him.Aaron rolled down the window. “Josh, get in.”Josh didn’t budge.Aaron’s patience was already thin. “Josh,” he said, his voice sharper this time, “I said get in.”Josh shook his head. “I’m waiting for Uncle Alex.”Aaron frowned, gripping the steering wheel. “What do you mean you’re waiting for Alex? I’m your father. Get in the car.”Josh took a small step back, his face filled with defiance. “I

    The next morning, Aaron gathered the entire family in the grand dining hall of the mansion. The long dining table, usually a place for quiet meals and occasional business discussions, was now the stage for his big announcement. His mother sat at the head of the table, elegantly dressed, sipping her tea as she observed her sons. Aaron’s fiancee , Clara, sat beside her, glancing between Aaron and Alex with mild curiosity. Alex, on the other hand, was leaning back in his chair, arms crossed, already looking unimpressed.Aaron cleared his throat and stood up, adjusting the cuff of his expensive suit. “I called you all here because I have something important to share,” he said, his voice filled with confidence. He glanced at his mother, who simply raised an eyebrow, waiting for him to continue.“I’ve decided to announce my engagement at my company party next week.”He said holding clara’s hands For a moment, there was silence Alex, however, let out a quiet scoff, shaking his head as he re

    Chapter 20- The Beginning of My ComebackMira’s POVThe slow ticking of the clock was driving me insane. I stared at the ceiling, counting every second that passed. I had been stuck in this hospital bed for too long, waiting, healing, hiding. I was grateful to be alive, but I was tired of feeling powerless.Then, the door opened.Alex walked in, looking as sharp as ever in a dark suit. There was something different about him today—an energy, a sense of purpose. My heartbeat quickened. I could tell he wasn’t just here to check on me.I sat up. “What is it?” I asked, my voice laced with anticipation.He stepped forward, slipping his hands into his pockets. “I have three things to tell you,” he said.I swallowed hard. “Three?”He nodded, watching me closely. “First—your parents left you an inheritance.”I froze. The words hit me like a punch to the stomach.“What?” I whispered.Alex’s expression softened slightly. “You didn’t know, did you?”I shook my head, my mind spinning. “Aaron told

Tonight was supposed to be fun, but instead, it had turned into another night of chaos.When we pulled into the driveway, I let out a tired sigh. “Thanks for the ride,” I mumbled, unbuckling my seatbelt.But the moment I stepped out of the car, my stomach twisted painfully.Alex was standing there.Under the dim glow of the streetlight, I could see his knuckles—bloody and bruised. His jaw was clenched, his face unreadable, but I could see the exhaustion in his eyes. The way he held his injured hand told me he was in pain, but he wasn’t even acknowledging it.Before I even thought about what I was doing, my feet moved on their own.I ran to him.The ache in my chest grew stronger with each step, and the moment I reached him, my emotions exploded.I hit his chest—softly at first, then harder.“Why?” I shouted, my

    A Night Gone Wrong(Mira’s POV)Sitting in the VIP lounge with Cynthia, I sipped on my drink while we watched the dance floor. The music was loud, the bass vibrating through my body, but I was having a good time. It felt nice to unwind, to just sit back and not think about work, responsibilities, or the mess Aaron had made of my life.But, of course, peace never lasted long for me.“Come on!” Cynthia suddenly grabbed my hand, pulling me up. “You didn’t come all the way here just to sit and watch. Let’s dance!”I laughed, trying to resist. “Cynthia, I’m not really—”“No excuses, Mira. Let’s go.”Before I could argue further, I was already being dragged onto the dance floor. The lights flashed, people moved in sync with the beat, and for a brief moment, I let myself enjoy it.Then, I felt someone behind me.I turned around, expecting a stranger, but my heart dropped when I saw who it was.Aaron.Drunk, stumbling, and looking at me with the same arrogance he always had.“Mira,” he slurre

When the time is right, I need to tell you something.What was it?Did it have to do with our almost kiss? Did he feel the same way I did? Or was I reading too much into it?I stole a glance at him as we stepped into the club, but his expression was unreadable. The music was loud, the flashing lights making everything feel more alive. People were already dancing, the atmosphere filled with energy.Just as I was about to say something, I heard someone call Alex’s name.A guy approached us, grinning. it was daniel’s friend . Alex recognized him instantly and gave him a handshake.“Daniel,” Alex greeted. “Didn’t know you’d be here tonight.”“Man, you know me.

    (Mira’s POV)I had been staring at the clock endlessly, tapping my fingers against my dresser, waiting for time to pass. Every minute felt like an hour. I was already dressed, and I looked hot.The deep black dress hugged my curves perfectly, stopping just above my knees, classy yet daring. My makeup was light but flawless, highlighting my best features. My hair? Perfect waves that framed my face just right.I picked up my phone and took a few pictures for Instagram. It had been a while since I posted something for myself and not business-related. I smiled at the photos, satisfied.“Mom, you actually look hot,” Josh teased from my doorway, arms crossed with a smug grin.I rolled my eyes, laughing. “Oh, so I never look hot?”He shook his head dramatically. “Not this hot. Are you sure you’re going to the club and not a red-carpet event?”I threw a pillow at him, and he dodged it easily, laughing. But deep down, his words made me wonder.Would Alex bail on me tonight after what happened

    “Let’s Pretend That Didn’t Happen” i said to myself. The second I stepped into my house, I rushed straight to my room and shut the door behind me, pressing my back against it. Josh was sitting on my bed, playing a game on his tablet, but as soon as he saw me, he smirked. “What was that about?” he asked, his voice filled with amusement. I groaned and covered my face. “Nothing. Nothing at all.” Josh chuckled. “You and Uncle Alex were about to kiss.” I gasped. “Excuse me?” I dropped my hands and looked at him. “We were not.” He rolled his eyes. “Mom, I’m not a kid. I saw it.” I grabbed a pillow and threw it at him, but he dodged it, laughing. “Go to sleep, Josh.” He snickered. “Whatever you say, Mom.” Before I could throw another pillow at him, I heard a knock on my door. I froze. Josh raised an eyebrow. “You gonna get that, or should I?” I slowly walked to the door and peeped through the peephole. My stomach did a little flip when I saw Alex standing there, wavi

    Stepping out of her comfort zone I stared at my closet, arms crossed, lips pressed into a thin line.All I had were work clothes.Blazers. Pencil skirts. Crisp white shirts. A few modest dresses that screamed corporate boss rather than night out.I sighed. “Well, this is a disaster.”Josh, sitting on my bed with his legs crossed, let out a loud laugh. “Mom, you’re so funny right now.”I turned to him with a playful glare. “Oh? And what exactly is funny about this?”He grinned, eyes twinkling. “You, freaking out over what to wear to a club.”I scoffed. “I am not freaking out.”Josh raised a brow, clearly not convinced.I groaned and grabbed my phone, dialing Alex. He picked up immediately.“Yo,” he answered. “You ready for tonight?”“No,” I huffed, flipping through the clothes in my wardrobe again. “I have nothing to wear.”There was silence for half a second before he burst into laughter.“Oh no,” he said, his voice dripping with amusement. “The great Mira doesn’t have the perfect o

I focused on my new project, checking every little detail carefully. Things were falling into place, and for the first time in a long while, I felt like I was back in control.Just as I was about to take a sip of my coffee, my manager walked in with a smirk on his face, holding a document in his hand.“You wouldn’t believe this,” he said.I raised an eyebrow, curious. “What is it?”“A direct mail from Aaron’s company,” he said, waving the paper slightly. “Do you want to read it?”Aaron? The name alone made my mood sour. There was no way he would have the guts to contact me himself. If anything, he’d use someone else to do his dirty work.“Let me see,” I said, taking the document from him.I skimmed through the contents, and before I could stop myself, I let out a loud laugh.Co-CEO?They really thought I would agree to that?

His company was struggling, facing unexpected financial hits and internal instability. Just when he thought things couldn’t get any worse, his assistant walked in.“Sir, the Chief Director is here to see you,” she announced cautiously.Aaron frowned. The Chief Director rarely showed up unannounced. Something was off.“Let him in,” he said, closing the file in front of him and leaning back in his chair.A few moments later, the Chief Director, an older man with silver-streaked hair and a sharp gaze, walked in. His expression was unreadable, but Aaron could sense the weight of his presence. He gestured toward the chair in front of him.“To what do I owe the pleasure?” Aaron asked, trying to sound casual.The Chief Director sat down, placing a folder on the desk.

His little fingers moved swiftly over the screen, his brows furrowed in deep concentration.I stood there for a moment, just watching him.This was why I fought so hard. This was why I refused to back down.“Mom!” He looked up and beamed the moment he noticed me.I walked over and ruffled his hair before pulling him into a hug. “Hey, baby. How was your day?”“It was okay. I finished my homework already,” he said proudly.“That’s my boy.” I smiled, brushing his cheek before deciding it was time to tell him the good news.I sat beside him, taking a deep breath. “Josh, you’re not going to boarding school anymore.”His eyes widened in disbelief. “Wait… what?”“You heard me.” I nodded, watching his face carefully. “You’re staying home with me.
