“Uh… Mr. Ashford, you seem to be forgetting things lately. You and Ms. Hale are divorced, and she is your ex–wife now,” Miles said.
When Dylan first brought up the divorce, Miles had tried to talk him out of it. Stella wasn’t just the woman who had saved his life. She was the one who stood by him and helped him grow the company to what it is today.
Letting go of a wife like that for Eliana just wasn’t worth it.
But Dylan was stubborn as hell. In the end, he still gave Stella the divorce papers.
Miles added, “Mr. Ashford, everyone knows Eliana is the girl you cherish above all else. You give her everything she wants. No one can compare to her.

Their childhood crushes or secret loves could only be tucked away out of sight, never seeing the light of day.
Miles thought, “Those sweet, innocent girls are the ones people just want to treasure in their hearts.
‘When the background is different, the whole experience in life changes, too.
‘There’s just something about genuine, simple girls that’s so captivating.
‘After being lost in all that glitz and glamour for so long, someone real just hits different.
“Then, out of nowhere, a special girl comes along, and suddenly he’s head over heels. I had seen this happen more times than I could count.
‘Isn’t this guy right in front of me just another one caught up in all that?
‘Serena is something else, definitely not an average woman. The deeper Miles looked into her, the more mysterious she became.
