Elara Dawn

For seven years, Elara Thorne lived in the shadow of her own marriage. While her tech mogul husband Damien showered attention on his mistress, Elara played the perfect corporate wife—making his coffee, organizing his schedule, and watching her six-year-old daughter Cora grow closer to the other woman.

The other woman who happened to be her half-sister.

Vivienne Dubois had everything Elara didn't—Damien's heart, Cora's adoration, and the respect of everyone at Thorne Industries. When Elara flew home hoping to celebrate her birthday with her family, she found them planning a surprise party for Vivienne instead. When little Cora innocently asked if Vivienne could be her mommy, something inside Elara finally snapped.

Elara had been a brilliant AI researcher before marriage stole her ambitions. She'd co-founded YodaVision Technologies, only to abandon it all for a man who never loved her back. But now Julian Croft, her former partner, wants her to return as Chief Innovation Officer. The tech world that forgot her exists is about to remember why she was once called a visionary.

Walking away seems impossible when it means leaving Cora behind. But staying means accepting a life where she's invisible in her own home, humiliated at her own workplace, and competing with her half-sister for scraps of attention from her own family.

Damien thinks his wife will quietly accept whatever he gives her, the way she always has. He's about to discover that seven years of silence doesn't mean surrender—it means she's been planning her comeback. And when Elara Vance reclaims her name, her career, and her power, the tech world won't be the only thing shaken.

Some women bend. Others break. But the smart ones? They rebuild themselves stronger than before.

My Coldhearted Husband’s Regret

The morning sun sparkled on the water as I stood at the pier, watching Jamie and Hector race down the boardwalk. Their laughter carried on the breeze, reminding me of simpler times.


"Slow down!" I called after them, adjusting my sunglasses. "The boat isn't going anywhere without us."


Yesterday had been chaos. Amelia called with a family emergency, begging me to take her sons for the day. I'd already promised the boys a ferry ride and picnic on the island, something they'd been looking forward to for weeks.


"We won't go far, Elara!" Jamie shouted back, his thirteen-year-old frame lanky and awkward as he ran.


Hector, two years younger and considerably more cautious, had already stopped to wait for me. "Are we really going on that big boat?" he asked, pointing to the ferry.


"That's the one," I confirmed, ruffling his hair.


My phone buzzed in my pocket. Beck's name flashed on the screen, sending an unexpected flutter through my chest.
