Fished

When Elena woke up again, it was already cleven. She quickly got dressed, said goodbye to Julian and Iris. and rushed to the office.

The moment she stepped inside, she sensed something was off.

The security guard stood unusually straight, staring ahead without moving, like someone important had come through.

Elena didn’t think much of it. She clocked in and walked toward her office.

Inside, the atmosphere felt even stranger.

No one was talking.

Everyone sat at their desks, heads down, typing quietly. Even those who weren’t out on assignments stayed unusually focused.

She looked up and met Hannah’s eyes.

Hannah blinked at her morfully.

Elena frowned. What is going on?

Still confused, she reached for the door handle, turned it, and walked in.

Then she saw him.

Alexander was sitting in her chair, holding one of the framed photos from her desk. His deep gaze rested on her, unreadable.

Now she understood Hannah’s reaction,

Elena closed the door, walked forward, and stopped a few feet away.

“Mr. Kingsley,” Elena said.

The formal address made Alexander frown.

He noticed she was still wearing the same clothes from the day before. “Where did you stay last night?”

“Did you come here just to ask me that?” Elena replied coolly.

Alexander’s expression tightened. “I didn’t come here to argue. Elena, shouldn’t we end this pointless situation?”

On the issue with Nicole, he had already taken a step back.

Even last night, after

er seeing her with Gideon, he had reached out first, yet she didn’t even reply.

Elena felt a sting in her chest.

Tuished

She let out a short laugh. “We’re not in a standoff. We just need to sit down and talk about the divorce.

The word hit him immediately. Divorce again.

The word alone set something off in Alexander, an instinctive resistance he couldn’t suppress.

He had assumed that by now, Elena would have let go of the idea of ending their marriage once the agreement expired, but in less than a month, she had brought it up again, and from the look on her face, she seemed completely set on going through with it this time.

Alexander’s voice turned cold. “You want this that badly?”

He held her gaze, something sharp and searching in his eyes. “What is your heart made of?”

The question hit harder than he probably intended, cracking whatever composure she had left.

Elena let out a quiet, unsteady breath, her voice tightening as the words finally spilled over. “You want to know what I should’ve done? I should’ve kept it together when I couldn’t reach you and then saw you with Fiona like it was nothing. I should’ve acted like it didn’t matter that she knew things about you I didn’t, like I wasn’t the one being shut out. And when I was in trouble and you never showed up, I should’ve just brushed it off and told myself it was fine.”

Her voice cracked.

“Alexander, I told you before, if this is just business, then don’t treat me well. Don’t make me depend on you and then hit me where it hurts the most.”

Her suppressed tears finally fell.

“I waited for you at the hospital for so long,” she said, her voice shaking. “Do you know what I was thinking when Landon had me tied up? I was wondering if you’d feel anything if something happened to me.”

She let out a bitter laugh. “Now I realize how stupid that was.”

Alexander frowned, confused. “You were in danger?”

Elena laughed. “Do you really need to pretend? Declan called you. He told you I was at the hospital. He said you would come.”

I even believed him.

Alexander’s confusion was real.

And that made her feel even colder. He opened his mouth as if to explain.

“You don’t need to say anything,” Elena cut him off, raising her hand. “I’ll continue handling Landon’s case. That’s not changing. As for our marriage… we both need time to calm down. We’ll talk about it later.”

This marriage was no longer just about the two of them. There was also the child.

And that mattered more than anything. Alexander didn’t say anything else.
