The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 868

Haynes froze for a moment, his whole body tensing as the truth hit him.

Even Keen could see it—Stella didn’t want to be with him anymore.

She had moved on. Built a new life, one that didn’t include him.

She would be better off without him.

Haynes sat there, lost in thought for so long that he didn’t even notice the stage lights going out. Only then did he slowly come back to himself.

After all the ways he’d hurt Stella, it was only natural she didn’t want to be with him.

But he wasn’t ready to give up.

Their marriage had only happened because of the baby. They’d skipped courtship, skipped the ceremony—she’d missed out on all the beauty of falling in love. No wonder she’d lost faith in their marriage, in him. No wonder she didn’t want to stay.

But he could win her back.

They’d been together for five years—no one knew Stella better than he did.

He was sure she didn’t feel nothing for him.

Compared to Neville, he actually had the upper hand.

As for that mysterious Joshua…

The guy was all secrets—he didn’t even dare reveal his real name. Not worth worrying about.

…

Foreman sat alone in a shadowy corner of the front row.

The seat offered a perfect view of the stage while keeping him hidden from sight.

Stella had saved that spot for him—at his request. He didn’t want Haynes to notice him.

Now, with his eyes fixed intently on the stage, he no longer bothered to hide the longing in his gaze.

“Star…” he murmured under his breath.

All these years, he’d been watching over her from a distance.

He knew just how extraordinary his Star truly was.
