The silence inside the hospital room turned heavy instantly.

Mr. Cole looked up at his son calmly despite the tension rising around them.

“I said,” he repeated slowly, "thirty per cent of the company shares will be transferred to Miranda.”

Adrian laughed.

But there was nothing amusing about it.

The sound came out sharp.

“You’re giving her thirty per cent of the company?” he asked again, staring at his father like he had completely lost his mind. “Without discussing it with me first?”

  • Divorced At Dawn: The CEO Who Begged Too Late   Every Line Crossable

    Miranda’s breath caught in her throat.For a heartbeat, she couldn’t speak. The weight of his question, so simple, so devastatingly direct, hung between them, heavier than any grand declaration could have been. She saw the hope in his eyes, raw and unguarded, and something inside her that had been twisted tight with fear and doubt finally, quietly, unknotted.Her dad was right. She needed to stop thinking about the outcome; she just needed to follow her heart. She hesitated, just for a moment. Then a smile broke across her face. Noah’s face lit up with a grin so bright it could rival the morning sun. “Is that a yes?” Miranda’s smile didn’t fade. She nodded affirmatively. Noah immediately tried to leverage himself upright, hissing through his teeth as his ribs protested the movement.“Wait… does that mean we’re official? Right now? Like, boyfriend-girlfriend official? Can I tell Colin? Clara, everyone?”Miranda laughed, the sound light and bubbling up from somewhere deep. She rea

  • Divorced At Dawn: The CEO Who Begged Too Late   What the Heart Wants

    Mr. Jones led Miranda into his study, closing the door behind them to shut out the rest of the house. He gestured for her to sit, then settled into the chair across from her, his expression grave.For a long moment, he simply studied his daughter: the tension in her shoulders, the way she avoided his eyes, the exhaustion carved into her features.“Miranda,” he began gently, “I want you to be honest with me. What are your feelings for Noah?”Miranda stiffened. She’d expected this and dreaded it, and yet the directness still caught her off guard. She looked down at her hands, folded tightly in her lap.“I won’t do it,” she said, her voice defensive. “I won’t be an intruder in Noah’s life. I met his fiancée today… she’s great. A partner his family has chosen for him. I refuse to be the person who comes between that. I won’t be the reason his family falls apart or the reason he ends up in some scandal. I…”“That’s not what I asked,” Mr. Jones interrupted quietly.Miranda faltered.“I did

    “It’s nothing, Mom,” Colin said quickly, perhaps a fraction too quickly. He let out a strained groan, leaning heavily on his cane to sell the performance. “Did he do anything to you?” Mrs Jones probed further. “Tell me, I’ll fight for you, okay?” Colin caught Melissa’s eye, giving her a subtle, pleading look to play along.Melissa cleared her throat, stepping forward to loop her arm gently through his. “Not at all, mom. The weight of the situation is just down on me. And..." She pointed to Colin. “He’s also exhausted. The doctors said he needs to lie down immediately. I’ll help him upstairs now.”Mrs. Jones looked between them, her maternal intuition clearly not buying the sudden shift in dynamics, but she didn't press further. “Alright. Just make sure he rests.”The walk up the grand staircase was suffocatingly awkward. Neither of them spoke, the silence between them heavy with the weight of the morning’s brutal confrontation and the sudden, forced proximity. When they finally

  • Divorced At Dawn: The CEO Who Begged Too Late   Silence Makes the Heart Grows Fonder

    Noah stormed through the front doors of the Jones mansion, his body screaming in protest with every step, but sheer determination carried him forward. Melissa, who had lingered at the house to be there for Miranda, looked up in alarm at his sudden entrance.Mr. and Mrs. Jones rose quickly from their seats in the living room, their faces creased with worry at the sight of him, pale, disheveled, clearly running on nothing but adrenaline and heartbreak.“Noah,” Mrs. Jones exclaimed, hurrying toward him. “Good heavens, look at you. You should be in a hospital bed, not…”“Where is she?” Noah cut in, his voice ragged. His eyes swept the room, searching. “Where’s Miranda?”Mr. Jones and his wife exchanged a look, the weight of everything Clara had told them still heavy on their shoulders. “Son,” Mr. Jones began gently, “you’re in no condition to…”“Please.” The desperation in Noah’s voice cut through everything. “I need to see her. I need to explain. Please.”Neither of them had the heart

  • Divorced At Dawn: The CEO Who Begged Too Late   A Tool in the Devil's Hand

    Both women were stunned into silence. Mr Sterling is not like every business mogul in town. To everyone, he’s someone who adores his wife and only daughter, but to the family everyone thought he loved so dearly, he's just a controlling freak. All the while, he sent his own daughter away coldly just because he didn’t want anyone to use her as his weak point. Daughters, they say, are their father’s most fragile weakness. For Mr Sterling, she is now his strongest tool. Frightened, Isla stood up, ready to leave, but another snap from her father made her return to her seat in her mother’s comfort. “I’ll settle everything over the phone. Once it’s done, you’ll go back there to show them whose daughter you are,” Mr sterling asserted. Without another hesitation, he snatched up his phone and dialed his old friend, Mr. Vale, his voice rising into an aggressive tirade the moment the call connected.In the Vale residence, Mr. Vale stood in his study, the phone pressed to his ear, wincing a

  • Divorced At Dawn: The CEO Who Begged Too Late   When Adults Meddle

    The front door of the Jones estate swung open with more force than necessary. Miranda swept inside, her jaw set, her eyes glassy with unshed tears she refused to let fall. Clara and Melissa hurried in behind her, exchanging worried glances.In the living room, Mr. and Mrs. Jones looked up from their evening tea, startled by the abrupt entrance.“Miranda?” her mother began, rising from the sofa. “Darling, how was the…”But Miranda didn’t stop. She didn’t so much as glance in their direction. She marched straight past them, her sandal clicking sharply against the marble floor, and disappeared up the staircase without a single word.Mr. and Mrs. Jones stared after her, stunned into silence. Moments later, the distant, unmistakable sound of a door slamming and a lock clicking into place echoed down through the house.Mrs. Jones turned to Clara and Melissa, bewilderment written across her face. “What on earth happened? Why is she like this? Did something happen at the hospital? Is Colin

    Noah’s gaze was sharp, unflinching. It was obvious he was offended by that request. “Didn’t I say it’s not my business?" he said finally, his voice absolute. “It wouldn’t be my secret to keep, either.”Melissa blinked, panic flickering in her eyes. “But… just pretend you didn’t see anything. Pleas
