Elara Dawn

Veronica Murray and Cullen Dennis have been married for seven years. She gave up a brilliant career in tech to be his perfect wife, smiling through his coldness, convinced her devotion could one day melt his heart. But that dream shatters. His heart was never hers to win; it has always belonged to another woman.

On her birthday, she flies to surprise him and their daughter, Sabrina, only to find them celebrating with his true love, leaving Veronica completely alone. Her spirit finally breaks. She isn’t even hurt anymore when Sabrina wants the other woman to be her mother. Veronica leaves a signed divorce agreement on his desk and walks away, cutting Cullen and Sabrina from her life without a backward glance. All that’s left is to wait for the final decree.

After abandoning her broken family, the tech prodigy reawakens, quickly building an empire and stunning everyone who ever looked down on her. Veronica waits for her freedom, but the divorce certificate never comes. Instead, Cullen, the man who never came home, starts showing up at her door, clinging to her. When he finally learns she wants a divorce, his legendary composure shatters. He slams her against a wall, his voice a dangerous murmur. “A divorce? In your dreams.”

My Coldhearted Husband’s Regret

Veronica lifted her hand to shield her nose briefly before dropping it and retreating a step, creating more space between them. Her movement was deliberate yet subtle.


Cullen remained oblivious to her silent withdrawal. His fingers traced the edge of the invitation as he opened it, scanning the elegant script inside. His eyebrows raised slightly. "A seventieth birthday celebration?"


"Yes." Her response came without the usual hesitation or the familiar pleading tone that once colored her requests. She offered no explanation about his schedule or gentle coaxing about making time. Instead, her words were crisp and matter-of-fact. "Please make sure your parents are informed."


Whether Cullen registered the absence of her customary entreaties remained unclear.


His gaze swept over her face briefly before he placed the invitation on the nearby dresser with practiced indifference. "Understood." Without another word, he disappeared into the bathroom, leaving her standing alone.
