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 staff member assigned to the third floor carefully balanced the tray of food as he made his way down the corridor. He'd been instructed to deliver lunch to Mrs. Elara Thorne's suite, and he was determined not to spill a single drop of the soup he carried.


As he rounded the corner, he nearly collided with a small group heading toward the main staircase. He immediately recognized Damien Thorne, the hotel owner's grandson, alongside the stunning Vivienne Dubois. Behind them walked Lucas Sterling and Beck, engaged in quiet conversation.


"Careful there," Lucas said, stepping aside to let the staff member pass.


"My apologies, sir," the young man replied, clutching the tray tighter.


Damien glanced at the tray, his expression unreadable. "Is that headed to suite 307?"


Lucas chuckled. "Well, I guess we won't need to invite her to lunch with us then."


To everyone's surprise, Damien shook his head. "We should still invite her. It's only polite."
