A year after my divorce, my ex-husband, Harvey Fisher, pings me in a group chat. "This cold war has gone on for long enough. Come home—let's remarry." I reply, "Have you lost your mind?" Everyone in the group chat tries to convince me to take Harvey back. Meanwhile, he asks, "What have you been doing without me in your life?" I turn to look at my current husband, who's putting our child to sleep. I reply, "Recovering after having a child." The group chat members are initially excited, but they instantly fall silent at my words. Harvey angrily calls me countless times, but I ignore him. His mind is not the only thing he's lost—he's also lost the young woman who once loved him more than life itself.
view moreTheodore's tall, well-built frame and striking features immediately drew attention from other diners the moment he appeared. Harvey watched as Theodore made his way toward the restroom and then stood up as well."Harvey!" The woman across from him called out, but he didn't spare her a glance."You can leave. I need some peace."Her face instantly darkened. As a lady from an influential family, she had never been treated with such disregard."Hmph!" Huffing in anger, she grabbed her luxury handbag and stormed out of the restaurant.As soon as she stepped outside, she pulled out her phone and dialed a number."Hello, Ms. Price? Looks like I failed my task."…Elara noticed Harvey heading toward the restroom as well. Two men going in at the same time—it didn't seem like a coincidence. She picked up her phone and quickly sent Theodore a message.Inside one of the restroom stalls, Theodore's eyes reflected the glow of his phone screen as he read the message. He smirked and let out
The pale daylight spilled over Harvey. It felt like a swarm of buzzing flies was crashing around chaotically inside his head.…At noon, Elara and Theodore went out for lunch. He decided to take her out to a nicer restaurant.While Theodore was scanning the menu, Elara glanced up casually and spotted Harvey sitting not far away with a young woman.She sighed inwardly—of all places, she just had to run into him here. Just seeing him sitting there made her lose her appetite."Elara, take a look. What do you feel like eating?"Theodore's clear voice pulled her back to the present. She quickly withdrew her gaze.The man arched a sharp brow. "Honey, are you getting distracted so soon?"Elara resisted the urge to grab a napkin and cover the side of her face."I just saw that Fisher guy!" she muttered, puffing her cheeks slightly before sticking out her tongue at Theodore.Seeing her come alive in front of him like this, Theodore found her absolutely adorable.He grinned slightly.
Niamh looked at him with hope, but Harvey's face remained cold and distant."You might have ruined Beau's entire future. Letting you avoid prison would be too easy, don't you think?"His words sent a chill through her. She shook her head as tears streamed down her face."Harvey, I don't want to go to jail! Dawn wouldn't want to see me behind bars either! Every time I ended up at the police station, Dawn was always the first to bail me out—"Harvey cut her off mercilessly. "That was Dawn, not me. I'm Beau's father."He had no interest in wasting more words reminding her how she refused to listen and how she insisted on taking Beau on that bike.He knew exactly what she had been thinking—so long as Beau clung to her and liked her, she could get away with anything. No matter how much trouble she caused, Harvey would clean up after her.He had tolerated her time and time again because of Dawn. But now, his son had been landed in the ICU because of her. How could he still excuse her
Abel's entire body tensed. "For me?"Priscilla casually played with her hair, with one hand resting on the seat. She wore a low-cut blazer with nothing underneath.As she leaned forward slightly, Abel's gaze instinctively dropped to her neckline. He swallowed hard, unable to control himself.The woman before him exuded an irresistible charm, and her every movement was mesmerizing. Abel was completely lost, and his attention was fixed on Priscilla's red lips as they moved."I want to acquire Joss Tech."Abel stiffened again. "What did you say?"Her delicate fingers trailed onto his thigh. "Abel, won't you do this for me?"Heat rushed to his face, and his entire body went taut. Even his words escaped his control. "Yes, of course… Anything for you."Priscilla's lips curled into a victorious smile.Sitting across from them, Benjamin finally spoke up. "Dad, if I remember correctly, you already handed the acquisition project over to Elara."Priscilla blinked. "Elara?"Abel shot Be
The hashtag #PriscillaPriceReturns shot to the top of trending searches on X, setting the Internet ablaze."Welcome back, Queen!""Now that Queen Priscilla has returned, Capitol's high society is about to descend into chaos again!""Who is Priscilla? Is she really that famous?""If you don't know who Priscilla is, you must be Gen Z."Older netizens quickly jumped in to educate the uninformed.The Price family had risen to prominence in the previous era. After the founding of the nation, the first-ever central bank governor had come from the Price family. Priscilla, now 47 years old, was the adopted daughter of the Price family.25 years ago, her entanglement with the three Price brothers was enough to fill a million-word novel of love and tragedy. In the end, Priscilla locked her heart away and took over Price Nation.She watched as her three brothers met their fates—one crippled, one lost to madness, and one renouncing the world to become a priest.Priscilla had been the most
Elara continued, "The other company is Graviton Tech, owned by Mr. Snapp. Mr. Snapp has offered two billion dollars to acquire Joss Tech while retaining all employees and departments, ensuring that Joss Tech continues to operate independently under its new ownership."Abel first picked up Graviton Tech's acquisition proposal. Flipping through a few pages, he muttered, "Two billion? Why would Mr. Snapp offer such a high price for Joss Tech?"Theodore leaned back against his chair, his posture seemingly relaxed and indifferent. "Just to make a beautiful woman smile. Consider it a gift for Elara."Abel's gaze darted between Elara and Theodore, suspicion flickering in his eyes.Theodore added, "Elara is my girlfriend. As long as it makes her happy, why wouldn't I?"Abel turned to Elara in shock. "You and Mr. Snapp are…"He had been considering arranging a marriage for Elara with some older, divorced businessman, hoping to leverage the union for the Jones family's benefit. Yet, the da
However, when Theodore looked at her, his deep, starlit eyes held no one else—only her.As the elevator doors slid open again, Elara stepped out and strode toward the conference room. Without breaking her pace, she issued a sharp command to the Zenith Tech team trailing behind her. "I want every senior executive in the conference room in three minutes!"The team dispersed instantly. They moved swiftly, rounding up executives from different offices, even dragging some along when necessary."Who are you people?""Let go of me! If you don't, I'm calling the police!"Several executives protested as their faces flushed red with frustration. But their resistance was futile. As they were herded into the conference room, their gazes landed on Elara, who was already seated at the head of the long oval table.She was slender, and her features were delicate and refined, yet the aura she exuded from that seat was enough to silence the entire room.Every executive recognized her. Some of the
The soft morning light cast a golden hue as a custom Mercedes-Maybach S-Class glided to a stop in front of the commercial tower housing Joss Tech. Like a sleek black panther, the luxury vehicle exuded an air of dominance.The door opened, and a long, impeccably tailored leg stepped out first. The person's polished leather shoes landed smoothly on the pristine marble pavement.He turned, reaching out as Elara prepared to step down."Here, honey," he teased, already fully immersed in the role.Elara smiled and placed her hand in his, letting him guide her down with effortless grace.Together, they strode into the towering building, accompanied by a formidable team—Zenith Tech's acquisition leads, along with specialists in auditing, finance, and taxation. The entourage moved in a commanding formation.At the forefront, Elara and Theodore led the way. The head of Zenith Tech's acquisition team found himself sneaking a few glances at them.Elara's black suit was immaculately tailored
Theodore turned to Lesley and added, "You've been promoted too, No. 4."Finnegan felt the veins in his temples throbbing. His expression darkened, looking as if he might explode at any moment.Elara stood up, preparing to leave, and casually asked, "Why are you giving my brother and Lesley nicknames?"Theodore followed beside her as they walked out. "If my dear girlfriend doesn't like it, I won't call them that."Of course, this wasn't just a nickname—it was a ranking. He'd just call them that in secret.After Elara and Theodore left, Lesley finally spoke. "Mr. Snapp is being unusually eager. Don't you feel like something's off about this?"Finnegan let out a cold scoff. "Did you see how sly his grin looked?"He picked up the bidding project proposal from the coffee table. "Right now, the only person who can help Elara gain Abel's trust and is still somewhat reliable for us—is Theodore."After a moment of careful thought, Lesley nodded in agreement.…Elara and Theodore sat i
Elara Jones was carrying her daughter as she rushed to the hotel. At this moment, her son's fifth birthday party had already begun.Meanwhile, Harvey Fisher stood beside their son as the warm glow of the candles illuminated the child's tender face.Beau Fisher clasped his hands together and made a wish. "I wish Ms. Niamh could be my new mom."Elara was shivering from the cold as it was raining heavily outside. She had gotten herself soaked trying to keep her daughter and the birthday cake dry.Her clothes clung to her body like a thin layer of ice, wrapping her in cold discomfort.Niamh Jones burst into hearty laughter. "How many times do I have to tell you? Don't call me Ms. Niamh! Call me Niamh! Your dad and I are more like brothers, so I can only be your second dad or something."Her laughter echoed through the private room. The guests, who were all Niamh's close buddies, joined in the laughter. Only Niamh would dare to tease Harvey this way in front of so many people.Beau b...
