The ballroom was still buzzing long after Miranda, Noah, and the Jones siblings had left.

If anything, the atmosphere had become worse.

Because Adrian Cole had completely lost his mind.

“Delete it!”

He pointed at a man holding up his phone.

“I said delete it!”

The man immediately took two more pictures.

The flash went off.

Adrian nearly lunged at him.

“Are you deaf?”

Another flash.

Another phone.

Another video.

More whispers.

More recording.

More gossip.

The more Adrian shouted, the more people

  • Divorced At Dawn: The CEO Who Begged Too Late   Morning After Madness

    Adrian groaned as a sharp headache drilled into his temples.The morning sunlight spilled through the gaps in the curtains, hitting his face with unforgiving brightness. He squeezed his eyes shut and turned to the other side, intending to bury himself beneath the blanket.Instead, his arm landed on warm skin.His eyes flew open.A woman.There was a woman lying beside him."What the…"Adrian practically launched himself off the bed, stumbling backward until his legs hit the edge of the dresser.His heart pounded violently against his ribs."No... no, no, no..."He stared at the sleeping figure, whose long dark hair was spread across his pillow. The blanket covered most of her body, but there was no mistaking what had happened.He dragged both hands through his hair."Please tell me this isn't real."Fragments of the previous night crashed into his mind.The club.The loud music.Too many drinks.A beautiful woman smiling at him.Her perfume.Her laughter.She was drunk and needed help

  • Divorced At Dawn: The CEO Who Begged Too Late   One Door that Locks

    The weight of mr Jones’ words settled over the room like a held breath.Everyone leaned in, waiting.Mr. Jones looked at Noah and Miranda, still standing hand in hand, and delivered the bombshell without ceremony."You two have to get married."The silence that followed was absolute.Clara's jaw, which had barely recovered from Noah's declaration, dropped even further. Colin went rigid. Melissa's hands flew to her mouth. Even Daniel, who had no personal stake in the matter, froze mid-scribble on his notepad."Married?" Miranda echoed faintly."Yes. Immediately," Mr. Jones confirmed. He moved to sit on the edge of the sofa, folding his hands together as he explained. "Sterling's entire plan hinges on the marriage between Noah and Isla. That arrangement is his weapon, his way of embedding himself into both our families, of gaining the leverage he needs to threaten us. He's counting on Noah being available. He's counting on that alliance to open the door."He looked between the two of t

  • Divorced At Dawn: The CEO Who Begged Too Late   Two Fractured Souls

    Adrian left Mr Sterling’s building like a condemned man leaving his sentence. He didn’t even let himself breathe properly.His routine had become simple.Get into the car.Drive to the bar.Drink until his thoughts blurred into nothing.Get his driver to take him home.Then sleep away the consequences.By the time he reached the bar, the alcohol had already started winning… even before he started drinking. Inside, the lights were warm and forgiving, the kind that made bad decisions feel like comfort. He ordered without hesitation, downed shots like water, and sat alone: no calls, no messages, and no one to ask if he was okay.Until she approached.At first he thought she was simply beautiful, one of those naturally striking women who didn’t need to try. She walked like she owned the room, but her expression didn’t match her confidence. Something underneath looked bruised. Tired.Adrian watched her take the seat beside him and smile as if she’d already decided he was interesting.“Y

  • Divorced At Dawn: The CEO Who Begged Too Late   A Promise with Teeth

    The heavy doors of the private meeting room swung shut behind Mr. Jones and Mr. Vale, and the sound of their footsteps faded down the corridor until there was nothing left but silence.Mr. Sterling remained seated, unmoved by their departure. He picked up his abandoned glass of whiskey and took a slow, unhurried sip, the ice clinking softly against the crystal. If the confrontation had rattled him at all, his face betrayed nothing. He simply set the glass down, reached into his breast pocket, and withdrew his phone.He pressed a single button and lifted it to his ear."They're gone," he said smoothly. "You can come in now."A moment later, a side door opened, and Adrian stepped into the room.He looked worse than the last time Sterling had seen him, thinner, the sharp edges of his face more pronounced, dark shadows beneath his eyes that no amount of expensive grooming could hide. His tailored suit hung slightly loose on his frame, a testament to the toll the past weeks had taken. Bu

  • Divorced At Dawn: The CEO Who Begged Too Late   The True Face

    The private meeting room was suffocatingly quiet.Three of the most powerful men in the city sat around a polished mahogany table, each nursing a glass of untouched whiskey, none of them willing to be the first to break the silence. The tension in the room was thick enough to cut with a knife.Mr. Jones sat rigidly at one end, his hands folded on the table, his expression carved from stone. Mr. Vale sat to his right, looking every bit like a man who hadn't slept, dark circles under his eyes, his shoulders hunched with guilt and exhaustion. And across from them, Mr. Sterling reclined in his chair with an air of infuriating calm, swirling the amber liquid in his glass as though he had all the time in the world.The seconds ticked by. Somewhere in the building, a clock chimed the hour.Finally, Mr. Jones broke the silence."We're going to have to talk at some point," he said, his voice low and even. "We can't sit here staring at each other all day. So let's talk."Mr. Vale exhaled hea

    The front door closed with a decisive click, and the sound seemed to suck all the air out of the room.The entire family sat in stunned silence, watching the space where Mr. Jones had stood moments before. The engine of his car roared to life outside, growing fainter as it carried him down the driveway and out of sight, toward a confrontation none of them were invited to.Noah stood frozen near the door, his car keys dangling uselessly from his hand. His jaw was tight, his injured body rigid with the kind of frustration that came from being told to sit down while the world burned around you. He stared at the closed door as if he could will it open again, as if he could will himself to be out there, in the middle of it, where he belonged.But Mr. Jones's words echoed in his ears. This is an adult problem now. And it will be handled by the adults.Noah's hand curled into a fist at his side."I can't just sit here," he muttered, more to himself than anyone else.Then he turned on his he

    “Where is it?” Miranda repeated, her voice carrying.The words cut clean through the polite murmur of conversation surrounding Adrian and the investor he was speaking to. Both men turned toward her. The investor’s brows lifted in mild surprise. Adrian’s expression tightened instantly. “What are yo

    The silence that followed Adrian Cole’s last words was heavy enough to crush glass.My first love.No one was clapping anymore now.

    The air shifted.Noah’s eyes didn’t leave her face.“Wait…” he said again, slower this time, as if confirming something only he could see. “You’re really… Miranda?”Miranda froze.That name… her name… coming from a stranger should have sounded wrong.But somehow… it didn’t.Her brows furrowed sligh
