All Chapters of Divorcing My Ruthless Husband : Chapter 271 - Chapter 280

The car roared along the highway. There was just a hint of dawn, but colors made up in pastel shades of pink and gold swirled into the sky. Stefani tapped her fingers restlessly against her leg, staring straight ahead, as if willing the road to speed up every single second to reach the police station where their kids waited.The moment he talked to her, he gripped the steering wheel very tightly and looked at her; his face reflected his worry. "We are almost there, honey," he whispered softly in a voice still coloured with a lingering thread of anxiety mixed with relief.Stefani nodded, a thumping in her chest. Relieved joy wrapped with this over-the-top need to hold onto them was to feel their little arms wrapping around her neck and hear their voices. She didn't care about anything else—just that they were all right.Then they saw the police station and Jacob quickly pulled into the parking lot. Stefani was out of her seatbelt before the car had even stopped, opening her door. Jacob

Jacob sat in his office, gazing out at the floor-to-ceiling windows of Hansley Enterprises. The city stretched before him, glistening under the late afternoon sun. Everything in his professional life was going great—business was booming, clients were happy, and expansion projects were all already well under way. But his mind drifted back to Stefani and the twins, thinking about their family trip that was now just a couple of weeks off after he completed this final project.A knock at the door broke his thoughts."Come in," he called, his voice steady.Olivia Torres, the new executive who had joined his company recently, walked into the room. She was sharp, ambitious, and undeniably attractive—traits that had caught the attention of the board. Jacob wasn't one to mix business with personal life, not with his family being the center of his world."Mr. Hansley, I have the modified contracts for the proposed merger," Olivia said, stepping inside. Her voice was professional, but the glint

Jacob sat in his office, going through a stack of contracts when he heard the familiar knock on the door. A small smile spread across his face. He didn’t even need to guess who it was; Stefani had been dropping by more often lately. It started out casually, bringing him lunch or just stopping in to say hello, but he knew there was a deeper reason—checking on Olivia.The door opened, and there she was, her bright smile lighting up the room. Stefani looked effortlessly elegant, her confidence filling the space as she entered. Jacob stood up, walking around his desk to greet her, already feeling the day’s stress melt away at the sight of her."Surprise!" Stefani teased as she walked toward him. "I brought you coffee. I figured you could use a break."Jacob chuckled, accepting the cup from her and pulling her into a quick hug. "You know me too well," he said, kissing her softly on the forehead. "And how are you? Doing another Olivia check?" he added with a smirk.Stefani laughed softly, h

Christmas lights twinkled across the Hansley home with that warm glow, giving reflections off the snow-covered trees outside. Inside, freshly baked cookies filled the air, and the soft crackle of the fireplace gave the atmosphere a cozy, inviting feel. The tree inside the living room towered over with proud sparkling ornaments, strands of silver tinsel hanging from it, and a shining golden star at the top. And under it were gifts in all shapes and sizes tidily lined up, some already shaking in the excited hands of little ones taking sneaky peeks.Elara and Ethan, now four years old, were the most excited of all. Dressed in matching red pajamas with little reindeer designs, they darted around the house, their giggles filling the air as they played tag."Careful, you two!" Stefani called from the kitchen, laughing as she watched her children zoom past. Her heart swelled with happiness. Christmas had always been her favorite time of year, but now, with her own little family, it had taken

Stefani sat at the dinner table, her eyes tracing the empty seat across from her. The warm glow from the chandelier above felt dim compared to the brightness that used to fill their family meals. It wasn’t the first night Jacob had missed dinner, but it felt like the hundredth. His absence weighed heavily on her heart, an unspoken distance growing between them.Elara and Ethan, now five, chatted animatedly as they poked at their food, their little voices filling the silence Jacob had left behind. Stefani tried to focus on their laughter, their joy, but her mind kept drifting back to the clock on the wall, ticking louder and louder with every passing second. Each tick felt like a reminder that Jacob was missing yet another evening with his family.“Mommy, when is Daddy coming home?” Ethan’s soft voice cut through her thoughts. His big brown eyes were filled with innocent hope, the kind that still believed his father would walk through the door at any moment.Stefani’s heart clenched. S
