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

Jorge stood at the window of his office, staring at the skyline without really seeing it. The meeting with Xavier and Caleb had left him frustrated and out of options. Neither Elara Vance nor Julian Croft would budge on the YodaVision collaboration.


"Damn it," he muttered, slamming his hand against the glass.


His assistant's voice came through the intercom. "Mr. Mendez? Is everything alright?"


"Fine," he snapped. "Hold all my calls."


He walked back to his desk and sank into his chair. The YodaVision deal was supposed to be his big achievement—the project that would finally make his father look at him with something other than disappointment.


Jorge ran his fingers through his hair. There was one option left, the one he'd been avoiding. He could call his father, Theodore Newman.


The thought made him grimace. Theodore had built Newman Technologies from nothing into a tech empire. Jorge, despite his executive title, knew he was still viewed as the heir who hadn't earned his place.
