Elena had just arrived home from work.

The day had drained every last drop of her energy. She dropped her bag on the bed, kicked off her heels, and collapsed onto the mattress, letting her back sink into the soft sheets.

Finally…

A moment to breathe.

For a while, her mind was blissfully blank.

Her eyes drifted toward the ceiling as her thoughts inevitably returned to Adrian.

*So he pays attention to the way I take my coffee.*

A small, unwilling smile tugged at her lips.

For a second, she had al

  • Back To My Billionaire Ex    Chapter 34 - Welcome Back

    The atmosphere inside Rivera Corporation felt noticeably different.From the reception lobby to the executive floor, conversations carried a quiet sense of anticipation. Employees moved about their morning duties, but every now and then, someone glanced toward the elevators.Today wasn't just another workday.Today, their chairman was returning officially.The central atrium had been arranged for a brief welcome gathering. Employees from different departments gradually assembled, chatting quietly among themselves while members of the executive leadership team stood near the front.Elena Rivera exchanged a few words with the Chief Financial Officer before glancing at her wristwatch.Marcus stood nearby, tablet in hand, reviewing a schedule one last time."They're ready," he said quietly.Elena nodded.A moment later, the elevator doors opened.The conversations faded almost instantly.Richard Rivera stepped out.Dressed in a charcoal-gray suit with a crisp white shirt and navy tie, he

    Elena had just arrived home from work.The day had drained every last drop of her energy. She dropped her bag on the bed, kicked off her heels, and collapsed onto the mattress, letting her back sink into the soft sheets.Finally…A moment to breathe.For a while, her mind was blissfully blank.Her eyes drifted toward the ceiling as her thoughts inevitably returned to Adrian.*So he pays attention to the way I take my coffee.*A small, unwilling smile tugged at her lips.For a second, she had almost believed he remembered. That he somehow still carried pieces of their past.But that would’ve been dangerous.Her mind flashed back to the elevator.The way he had draped his jacket over her shoulders without hesitation. The warmth of it. The faint scent of his cologne that still seemed to linger.Another smile escaped before she could stop it.Then it faded.She shouldn’t be thinking about him this way.She was the one who left him.If he ever remembered the full truth… he might never forg

  • Back To My Billionaire Ex    Chapter 32 - Missing Pages

    The executive floor had grown noticeably quieter.Most employees had already returned to their respective departments after the project meeting, leaving only the occasional footsteps echoing through the corridor.Inside Elena's office, however...The work was far from over.Blueprints, contracts, and engineering reports covered almost every inch of the conference table.The single-page geological report Adrian had obtained lay at the center.Elena leaned over the table, one hand resting against its polished surface while the other flipped through the Horizon Bay master proposal.Adrian stood opposite her, sleeves rolled to his forearms, his tie loosened slightly after the long morning.Neither of them had spoken for several minutes.Only the soft rustle of paper broke the silence.Elena compared another document before shaking her head."No..."She picked up the geological report again."This doesn't make sense."Adrian looked up from the survey blueprint."What did you find?"She tur

    Noon had settled over the city, but inside Rivera Corporation, there was no sign of slowing down. The executive floor buzzed with urgent meetings, ringing phones, and conversations centered on one project—the Horizon Bay Smart District.Since the signing ceremony, the project had become the corporation's highest priority. Departments worked tirelessly to meet deadlines, executives reviewed reports one after another, and every decision now carried greater weight than before.Construction schedules.Budget forecasts.Supplier negotiations.Government permits.The project had officially begun.While the rest of the corporation focused on building Horizon Bay, elsewhere, someone was carefully laying the foundation for something entirely different.---Miles away...Carter Holdings Headquarters was just as busy.Executives moved briskly through the polished corridors while assistants carried stacks of documents between departments.Everything appeared ordinary.Except the chairman's office.

    Early the next morning.Marcus descended the staircase, already dressed for work in a crisp white shirt tucked into dark brown trousers. A leather briefcase rested comfortably in his hand.He headed straight for the dining room.Elena was already there, seated alone at the long dining table, quietly eating a slice of toast while scrolling through a few emails on her tablet.She looked up as Marcus entered."Morning.""Good morning," Marcus replied, pulling out a chair.He glanced around the dining room."Where's Dad?""Already had breakfast," Elena answered, taking a sip of her juice. "I think he's in his study."Marcus nodded."And Sofia?"Elena looked up thoughtfully."She left a little while ago."Marcus paused."So early?""Mm-hmm."She took another bite before adding casually,"I think she's seeing someone."Marcus looked at her."What?"Elena shrugged."She mentioned she was meeting someone for breakfast."Silence.Marcus stared at the table for a moment, his expression unreadab

    Morning.The Rivera estate was usually quiet.Apart from the distant sounds of staff carrying out their morning duties, silence filled the mansion.Richard Rivera had only just woken up.Dressed in a dark silk robe, he made his way down the hallway toward his private study.He paused outside the door for a brief moment before unlocking it.The hinges creaked softly as the door swung open.The room was dim.Richard reached for the light switch.Click.Warm light illuminated the study.Everything was exactly as he remembered liking it.The books were arranged neatly on the shelves.The documents on his desk sat perfectly aligned.There wasn't a speck of dust in sight.A faint smile crossed his face.Elena and Marcus must have instructed the staff to keep the room exactly the way he liked it.He walked over to the desk and settled into the leather chair.His gaze wandered around the room before stopping on the bottom drawer.Locked.His brows drew together.He reached for the bunch of ke

    Sophia Vale, Adrian’s sister, ignored the greetings trailing after her as she strode toward the elevator to his office, lips pressed thin, brows knitting.The elevator opened to Daniel, attention locked on his tablet. He seemed too busy to notice anything else—and that quiet disregard only deepened

    The penthouse was quiet in the early hours, wrapped in stillness broken only by the distant hum of the city below. Elena's bedroom was a spacious, quiet retreat with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city, the lights outside casting a faint glow across the minimalist space.Elena slept calml

    Elena's thumb hovered over the call button for the third time that evening.Adrian Vale's name glowed on the screen like a ghost from a life she had buried five years ago.One call.That was all it would take to bring him back into her life. This could either save Rivera Corporation or reopen old

    ‎‎Empires don't collapse slowly. They collapse all at once.The Rivera boardroom had never been this quiet. All that could be heard were the heavy breaths of some staff. Moments ago it had been chaotic, executives threatening to file lawsuits, reporters gathered outside the building, employees stoo
