About this story
Elara sacrificed her magical core to build a safe haven for her husband Caelum and their adopted daughter. But as the deadly Rift storms approach, Caelum transfers Elara's protective ward-keys to his new lover, casting Elara into the dying outer slums. Branded a madwoman and abandoned by the child she raised, Elara accepts her exile. What they don't know is that Elara is the last living Apex Weaver. When the High Citadel offers her exclusive sanctuary in exchange for saving the realm, Elara takes the deal. Let the storms come—her ex-husband is about to find out exactly who was protecting whom.
Chapter 1
The Grand Hall of the Vance Guild Manor was usually a place of pristine, undisturbed silence, but tonight, the air hummed with a sickly, discordant vibration. Elara Vance stood alone before the Guild Registry stone, her slender fingers hovering over the massive, raw-cut sapphire that served as the beating heart of the manor’s defenses. For five years, this stone had been her child, her masterpiece, and her anchor. She had poured the very essence of her magical core into its crystalline depths, weaving a protective matrix so complex and impenetrable that the Vance Manor was widely considered the safest fortress outside the High Citadel itself. But tonight, the sapphire wasn't glowing with its usual warm, azure brilliance. It was pulsing with a fractured, jagged violet light."What is this?" Elara murmured, her voice barely a whisper in the cavernous room. She pressed her palms flat against the cold, smooth surface of the stone, closing her eyes to project her magical senses into the warding network. She expected to feel the familiar, comforting resistance of her own runic architecture. Instead, she was met with a jarring emptiness. The foundational threads of the ward—the primary keys that locked the shield dome over the estate—had been violently severed from her magical signature.Panic, cold and sharp, flared in her chest, but she ruthlessly crushed it down. Elara was a Master Ward-Weaver; panic was a luxury she could not afford, especially not with the apocalyptic Rift Storms predicted to strike within the month. "The primary node has been reassigned," she said aloud, her brilliant, pragmatic mind racing through the impossibilities. "No one has the authorization to alter the master matrix. No one except...""Except the Guild Master." The deep, resonant voice echoed from the arched doorway behind her. Elara turned slowly, dropping her hands from the corrupted stone. Caelum Vance stood in the threshold, leaning casually against the carved oak frame. He was dressed in his formal Guild Master robes, the dark velvet trimmed with gold thread that caught the flickering light of the hall’s braziers. He was undeniably handsome—tall, broad-shouldered, with a sharp jawline and perfectly coifed dark hair—but right now, the arrogant smirk playing on his lips made Elara’s stomach turn. "Caelum," Elara said, her voice dropping to a dangerously calm register. "What have you done to the Registry stone?"Caelum sighed, pushing off the doorframe and strolling into the room as if he were inspecting a minor plumbing issue rather than a catastrophic breach in their magical defenses. "Always so dramatic, Elara. I simply made a few necessary adjustments to the ward-keys. As Guild Master, it is my right to dictate the allocation of our security resources.""Adjustments?" Elara’s eyes widened, her cold logic fighting through the sheer absurdity of his statement. "You didn't make an adjustment, Caelum. You completely severed my soul-bind to the primary ward-keys. Do you have any idea what you've done? The matrix is destabilizing as we speak!""The matrix is fine," Caelum dismissed, waving a hand flippantly. "I had the Guild artificers look at it this morning. They assured me the wards are holding perfectly.""The Guild artificers are glorified mechanics!" Elara snapped, taking a step toward him. "They don't understand Apex-level weaving! I built this sanctuary from the ground up. I sacrificed half my magical core to fortify those shields. Without my signature anchoring the primary key, the dome will shatter the moment the first Rift Storm hits!"

After My Husband Gave Our House To His Mistress
After My Husband Gave Our House To His Mistress
I secretly enrolled in a classified national program without informing my husband, Elijah, who happens to be our team's leader. Initially, he didn't think much of it. He merely assumed I had become more compliant. Even when he decided to give a promotion opportunity from the organization to his first love, I remained unfazed. Then he proposed transferring the property meant for me to Paisley, his first love, and asked me to help raise her child. I agreed with a smile, my eyes briefly flickering to the notification of my successful application in my hand. Elijah frowned slightly and warned, "Don't try any tricks. If you change your mind, I'll divorce you immediately!" Feigning concern, I asked, "But if the house goes to her, where will I live?" "The organization has assigned me another place, hasn’t it? Paisley and her kid have a tough life; show some compassion!" Hearing his cold words, I couldn't help but feel a secret satisfaction. With his generous nature, he might be open to donating all his assets to the Heartland Welfare Foundation, right?
