Adrian’s hand remained on the door handle for several seconds.

His exhaustion was obvious now.

The grief.

The anger.

The complete emotional drain in his eyes.

But Vivian’s question stopped him anyway.

“You don’t intend to divorce her, do you?”

Silence followed immediately.

Adrian slowly turned back toward her.

“What exactly is wrong with you tonight?” he asked flatly.

Vivian folded her arms.

“What’s wrong with me is that your marriage contract ends tomorrow.”

Adrian’s expression darkened slight

  • Divorced At Dawn: The CEO Who Begged Too Late   Letting Her Go

    The police sirens echoed faintly in the distance as Adrian stepped out of the Sterling mansion.Behind him, Arthur Sterling's furious shouting still filled the air."You can't do this!""This is illegal!""I know people!"Adrian didn't look back.For the first time in a very long while, he felt strangely calm.The man who had manipulated families, ruined lives, and treated his wife and daughter as possessions was finally facing the consequences of his actions.And somehow, that chapter no longer mattered as much as it should.Because somewhere in a hospital nursery...A little girl had been born.His daughter.The thought still didn't feel real.Adrian looked at the morning sky as he got into the car.A daughter.He had a daughter.The same man who had spent years destroying his marriage had been given the chance to become someone's father.Life truly had a strange sense of humor.An hour later...The car stopped in front of a quiet hotel on the outskirts of the city.Two of Adrian's

  • Divorced At Dawn: The CEO Who Begged Too Late   Rotten to the Core

    The glare of the tablet screen illuminated the manic fury contorting Arthur Sterling’s face.On the display, Nathan Scott’s press statement reached its conclusion, the audio ringing through the silence of the master suite like a death knell: "I stand as living proof of their integrity. Anyone weaponizing this tragedy does not deserve to walk freely in society.""Lies! Fabrications!" Sterling roared, violently hurling the tablet against the marble fireplace. The screen shattered into webbed fractures.His trump card, the decades-old leverage he had painstakingly hoarded to bend the Vale and Jones families to their knees, had evaporated in the span of a three-minute video.Panic, cold and sharp, seized his chest. If the blackmail on the Vales was gone, he needed his other contingencies. He needed the Railway Exclusive contract. He needed his private ledgers, the shell company portfolios, and the hidden financial trails that guaranteed his dominance.Sterling threw open the double doors

  • Divorced At Dawn: The CEO Who Begged Too Late   After the Storm

    The silence in the sterile corridor was deafening as everyone hung on the doctor’s next breath.The senior obstetrician pulled down his surgical mask, his tired eyes softening with reassurance."She made it through," the doctor announced, his voice steadying the turbulent room. "Both your wife and the baby are alive and stable."A collective, shuddering gasp swept through the hallway. Mrs. Jones collapsed against her husband, weeping tears of pure relief, while Clara buried her face in her hands, her shoulders shaking. Noah let out a ragged breath, pressing both hands against his face as a sob tore through his throat."Can I see her?" Noah choked out, looking up with red, desperate eyes. "Is she awake? Can I see them?""She is resting from the anesthesia, but you will be able to join her in the VIP recovery suite in a few minutes," the doctor explained gently. "However, because the delivery was premature and induced by severe stress, the baby girl has been transferred to the neonata

  • Divorced At Dawn: The CEO Who Begged Too Late   Before the First Cry

    "Miranda..."Adrian took another shaky step forward, his eyes fixed on the swell of her stomach."Tell me... is that child mine?"Miranda stared at him, her face turning ghostly white.She opened her mouth, but before a single word could leave her lips, another violent cramp tore through her abdomen."Aah!" She cried out, instinctively doubling over.Both Noah and Adrian lunged toward her at the exact same moment."Miranda!""Miranda!"Adrian's hand had barely reached her shoulder when Noah violently shoved him backward."Don't touch her!"Adrian stumbled two steps before catching himself.Noah wrapped both arms around Miranda, panic flooding every inch of his face."Miranda." He cupped her cheeks. "Look at me."She couldn't. Her brows knitted tightly together as another wave of pain ripped through her body."It hurts..." Her voice trembled. "It... hurts..."Noah felt his heart stop. He had never seen her like this. The confident woman who always smiled through discomfort… She looked

  • Divorced At Dawn: The CEO Who Begged Too Late   Math of Regret

    Miranda’s foot lost all purchase on the slick, polished floor.Her breath hitched in terror as gravity pulled her downward. Her immediate, primal instinct was to tuck her elbows in and shield the precious curve of her abdomen with both hands.She braced for the violent impact… It never came.A pair of strong arms locked around her waist, hauling her back from the brink of catastrophe. Another hand clamped securely onto her wrist, steadying her trembling frame against a broad, solid chest. The scent of familiar, expensive woodsmoke cologne and faint traces of spilled wine hit her senses all at once."Careful," the voice murmured, deep and rough.Miranda exhaled a ragged breath, her heart hammering against her ribs like a trapped bird. Slowly, the spinning in her head slowed, and she lifted her gaze to thank her rescuer.The words died instantly in her throat.Her eyes widened in sheer disbelief as she stared into the sharp, haunted features of Adrian Cole.The color drained completely

    "There's a twenty-four-hour restaurant ten minutes from the airport," Adrian said, his voice clipped and precise over the receiver. "The Grandview Terrace. It's discreet, upscale, and should be less crowded at this hour. Meet me there.""I'm on my way," Isla breathed, ending the call and then telling the driver to head there. Neither of them had any idea that thirty minutes earlier, a very pregnant Miranda had dragged a thoroughly defeated Noah to the exact same establishment to satisfy an unhinged midnight craving for roasted plantain, steak, and grilled fish.The city outside the tinted windows of Isla's cab was a blur of neon and shadow. When the car pulled up to the grand, dimly lit facade of the restaurant, Isla told the driver she’d be out in a minute and pulled her coat tightly around her shoulders. She stepped inside, the quiet hum of jazz and the low murmur of late-night dining washing over her.She chose a booth tucked far in the corner, out of direct line of sight from the

  • Divorced At Dawn: The CEO Who Begged Too Late   The Quiet After The Fire

The city outside remained awake, rest

  • Divorced At Dawn: The CEO Who Begged Too Late   Eight Days To Forever

    Eight days.That was all that remained of the marriage Miranda Cole had once believed would last a lifetime. Eight days before the legal structure holding her to Adrian dissolved. Eight days before, she was no longer his wife in any sense that mattered.Just eight days.There had been a time when

    “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

  • Divorced At Dawn: The CEO Who Begged Too Late   Applause And Ashes

    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 phrase lingered in the air, obscene in its intimacy, poisonous in its timing. Miranda felt it break something inside her that she had spent three years protecting
