Unmasked My CEO Ex-Husband’s Regret novel Chapter 410

Sarah's law firm operated on the same unforgiving schedule as Vance Dynamics—no extra days off.

Through sheer coincidence and busy schedules, their holiday breaks happened to align perfectly.

Today was Sebastian's final day in the office as well.

But his workload was vastly different from Elara's.

The staff at his company, particularly the secretaries and assistants in the executive suite, were far more desperate for the break than he was. They had blitzed through their administrative tasks early, leaving Sebastian with nothing to do but review and sign off on final documents.

He arrived at the office in the morning, cleared his desk before lunch, and was officially on vacation by the afternoon.

The second he stepped out of the executive suite, he shot a text to Elara, inviting her out to celebrate.

Just moments ago, Elara had been staring at her banking app, practically getting dizzy counting the zeroes, a grin stretching from ear to ear.

The instant she saw Sebastian's WhatsApp notification, her joy evaporated, replaced by a metaphorical slap to the face.

It was a stark reminder that winning a lawsuit and getting a massive payout didn't magically solve all her problems.

She still had a much larger, far more complicated headache to deal with.

Even though Sebastian had been on his best behavior recently, he was still a ticking time bomb, watching her near-divorced status like a hawk.

The moment the assets were divided and the divorce papers signed, she would finally be free. But it also meant Sebastian would inevitably erupt, inevitably pulling some aggressive stunt she had no way to control.

Elara was absolutely certain that when that day came, his well-behaved facade would crumble, and he would go completely off the rails.

Just thinking about it made her temples throb.

When she didn't respond to his first message, Sebastian didn't lose his patience. He simply fired off another.

Since his invitation went unanswered, he pivoted to checking in on her workday: [Are you still swamped at the office?]

This was his classic tactic. He disguised his relentless advance as gentle concern, slowly cornering her until she had no room to decline.

It constantly kept Elara on edge, but because his approach was so subtly polite, she couldn't exactly blow up at him.
