Hey! I Want You Back Unfinished Business
Elena felt her stomach twist but she remained without an expression. "Right. That must be why he was so desperate to marry you."For the first time, Victoria’s smirk faltered. And there it was—the slight crack in the perfect, polished armor she always wore. Elena felt a quiet satisfaction curl inside her chest. Victoria didn’t like to be reminded of her almost-wedding to Adrian. The one he had called off. The one he had ended with nothing more than a sharp, decisive goodbye, leaving Victoria humiliated and exposed. Elena took a slow sip of her coffee, giving Victoria the time to compose herself. She watched as the other woman’s jaw tensed—just for a second—before she let out a smooth, practiced laugh. “Oh, Elena,” Victoria said, shaking her head, forcing amusement into her tone. “You still think that was about me? Adrian ended things because he had—what’s the word? Oh, yes—mixed feelings.” Elena arched a brow. “Mixed feelings? Oh wow, is that the best you could come up with Vicky

The light from the sun rays shine brightly on Adrian's messy desk on which laid his home laptop and a pile of paperwork. Taking a good look at Adrian's home office, it looked so out of place. Mrs Henderson suspected that Adrian was feeling distracted lately.Mrs Henderson, Adrian's housekeeper had worked for Adrian for seven years, long before Victoria and Elena came into the picture. She knew them both. She had worked long enough to know that Adrian was under a lot of pressure. Even though people thought Adrian to be a man of control, Mrs Henderson could see through Adrian like she could see through any child of hers.And it was clear that Adrian was under some kind of pressure. She just could not place her finger on what it was.Soon, the door of Adrian's home office and in came Adrian Wolfe."Mrs Henderson, good morning""Oh, hi, Adrian, how are you doing this fine morning?" She said as she began to arrange the desk in the office."Very well, Mrs Henderson, very well.""I wanted to

Elena's drive to Montgomery & Co. was slow-paced. After the heated exchange with Victoria, she needed to let go of the emotions that had built up. The city of Ridgewood was really beautiful. And because of her work, she had not had so much time to appreciate the scenery. The beautiful trees that were planted to reduce the intake of carbon monoxide, the smell of the morning breeze, the early morning activity of the citizens of Ridgewood City all helped to improve her mood. And suddenly, she was set for a great day's work. The meeting with her supervisor, Mr Callahan, was to start by 10 am. It was just 15 minutes past 9 am when Elena drove into the company's garage. "Morning, Miss Carter," the garage's security personnel, Tom said as Elena got out of her car. " Morning, Tom. You look well." She said smiling. "So do you. I will have your keys to you soon." "Thank you." She said as she walked into the office with so much elegance. As she walked onto the reception, the cool breeze

Tick tock went the clock.Ding! The alarm clock rang as its hands struck 3 o'clock. The vibration of the alarm clock took Sophie out of her daze. She had been genuinely worried about Elena ever since Adrian came into the picture. She did not need to be told that Elena was affected by this, but it would be a miracle for Elena to accept this truth.Sophie Bennett had met Elena while she was at her lowest. Even though she didn't approve of the way Adrian treated Elena right before she left, she knew Elena and Adrian were still in love. But they are both so proud to accept it.The sound of her ringtone pulled her from her drifting thoughts this time around. She smiled when she saw who was trying to put a call through to her."Good afternoon, Mr Carter.""Sophie, how are you doing today?""Lovely as always, Sir. You look...unstressed." She said as she giggled."Well, Sophie, I only took your advice. I decided to get that well-deserved rest and I have not felt better ever since.""Good to k

The clock on the wall ticked mercilessly, each second stretching the silence between them. The penthouse, sleek and cold, loomed around Elena Carter like a glass cage—beautiful, yet suffocating. She had spent three years inside these walls, loving a man who never truly let her in.Tonight, she was done.Her fingers trembled as she placed the divorce papers on Adrian Wolfe’s polished mahogany desk. The weight of the moment pressed against her chest, but she kept her chin high. If she faltered, even for a second, she knew she would never leave.Adrian sat behind the desk, his expression carved from stone, unreadable as ever. His dark, piercing eyes locked onto hers, searching for something—regret? Anger? Fear? She couldn’t tell. That was the problem. She never could.“Elena.” His voice was smooth, controlled. Too controlled. The way it always was.She inhaled sharply. “It’s done, Adrian. I’ve signed.”A muscle ticked in his jaw. He didn’t glance at the papers. Didn’t even reach for them

The conference room smelled of polished wood and fresh coffee. Elena adjusted the cuff of her blazer, her fingers tightening around the leather portfolio she carried. This was just another business deal. Just another client.Then she looked up.Adrian Wolfe sat at the head of the table, his presence as commanding as ever.Her breath caught in her throat.Three years. Three years since she’d walked out of his life, out of his world. And now, here he was—unshaken, unreadable, watching her with the same piercing gaze she remembered.“Elena.” His voice was smooth, unreadable, but there was something in the way he said her name. Like he wasn’t expecting to say it again in this lifetime.She straightened her spine, forcing her expression into polite neutrality. “Mr. Wolfe.”A flicker of something passed through his eyes—surprise, maybe even amusement—but it vanished as quickly as it came.The tension in the room was thick enough to choke on. Around the table, other executives and project he

The 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

Adrian 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

Hey! I Want You Back Crossed Paths
Elena Carter was not easily shaken. She had built her life on resilience, knowing when to fight and knowing when to stand down and walk away. But as she stood in the middle of Willow Café grasping a warm cup of coffee in her hands, she felt something tightened in her chest. The café was brimming with life, the scent of fresh pastries and roasted coffee beans filling the air. The hum of morning conversations blended with the soft clinking of mugs against saucers. It was supposed to be a usual morning- a still moment before heading to work. But then Victoria Langford walked in. Elena was not sure if it was fate, bad luck, or just the universe playing some cruel joke on her. She had not seen Victoria in 3 years, but it would not take her any second to recognize Victoria anywhere. Her sleek, platinum-blonde hair, sharp blue eyes that always carried a hint of contempt, and effortless grace that made people turn their heads when she entered a room.Victoria was the type of woman that com
Hey! I Want You Back A Father's Resolve
John 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
Hey! I Want You Back Beyond The Past
Elena 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
Hey! I Want You Back Unspoken Choices
Elena 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
Hey! I Want You Back A Choice To Make
Elena 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
