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

Elara remained engrossed in her work, fingers flying across her tablet as she refined the algorithm. The cafeteria lunch had been a tense affair, with Jorge and Xavier attempting awkward small talk while Vivienne kept throwing glances her way. Now back in the project room, Elara welcomed the distraction of complex code.


"These integration points need additional security layers," she muttered to herself, making another annotation.


The door swung open. Julian walked in, his tall frame commanding attention as he entered. He nodded to the InnovaTech staff before making his way toward Elara.


"Any progress?" he asked, setting his coffee down.


Elara angled the tablet toward him. "I've isolated that processing lag. We need to restructure this section."


Julian leaned closer, his brow furrowed in concentration. "Good catch. The neural pathway reconfiguration makes much more sense now."
