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

Silence hung over the room as Vivienne stepped forward, her perfectly styled hair catching the light. 


"I'll play," she announced with a confident smile. Her gaze swept over the onlookers before landing on Damien. "If my darling is up for another challenge."


Brandon's eyebrows shot up with interest. "Another contender! Excellent."


The crowd murmured with anticipation. This wasn't just about chess anymore—it was a performance.


Damien's expression remained neutral as he gestured to the chair across from him. "Of course."


Vivienne took her seat with practiced grace, crossing her legs at the ankle. She leaned forward slightly, her expensive perfume wafting across the chess table.


"I warn you," she said playfully, "I was captain of my university's chess team."


Brandon chuckled. "That's what we need—some real competition!"


Elara stood quietly at the edge of the gathering, her face carefully composed. Julian moved beside her, his expression making no attempt to hide his annoyance.
