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 office kitchen hummed with the familiar sound of the coffee machine. I stood waiting for my cup to fill, absently watching the dark liquid drip steadily.


"...stayed until three in the morning," Henry Walsh's voice carried from the small break table behind me. "That's dedication, or something else entirely."


I tensed, recognizing the gossipy tone. Henry from InnovaTech was visiting our office today for follow-up meetings. He sat with Julian, both nursing their coffees.


Julian cleared his throat loudly. "Henry, perhaps we should discuss the implementation timeline instead."


"Sure, sure," Henry agreed, but couldn't resist adding, "Just saying, when the CEO personally stays to help with your project overnight, it means something. Especially when it's Damien Thorne."


My fingers tightened around my empty mug. The coffee machine beeped, signaling it was done.


"Ms. Dubois must be impressive professionally to command that kind of attention," Henry continued.
