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

Elara blinked awake as Beck's car came to a gentle stop. The hospital visit for Shanice had taken longer than expected, leaving her with barely enough time to make it to her grandmother's house.


"We're at your place," Beck said, turning to face her. "You dozed off after we left the hospital."


"Sorry about that," Elara mumbled, gathering her belongings. The fatigue from the camping trip still weighed heavily on her.


"No need to apologize. The doctor said Shanice just needs rest and medicine. I'll take her home now."


Elara's phone buzzed with a notification. She checked it and frowned at the message from Damien.


*My grandmother is visiting yours this evening. We should take Cora together. Let me know when you're free.*


"Just Damien," she replied, slipping her phone into her pocket. "Thanks for the ride. And tell Shanice I hope she feels better soon."


As Beck's car pulled away, Elara called Damien. The phone rang twice before he answered.
