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

Damien Thorne raced through the hospital corridors, his usual composed demeanor replaced by visible concern. The call about his grandmother's fall had reached him during an important meeting, but he'd left immediately. Eleanor Thorne was one of the few people who could make the powerful CEO drop everything without hesitation.


Dr. Morris greeted him outside the private room. "Mr. Thorne, your grandmother has a fractured femur. She's stable but will need surgery tomorrow morning."


"How did this happen?" Damien asked, his voice tense.


"She fell in her garden. Fortunately, her housekeeper found her quickly."


Damien nodded curtly. "May I see her now?"


"Of course. She's been asking for you."


When Damien entered the room, he found Eleanor propped up against pillows, looking smaller than he remembered. Despite her eighty-two years, Eleanor Thorne normally commanded any room she occupied. Today, however, the hospital bed seemed to dwarf her.
