?Chapter 507:
“Yep,” Elliana replied.
A question followed.
“Did you get the ten billion?”
“I did. And Regal Grove came with the package,” Elliana responded.
Adah replied, “Honestly, that’s a pretty sweet deal. But tell me—why did Cole suddenly want a divorce?”
Elliana answered simply, “That’s not something you need to worry about. I’m moving into Regal Grove today. If you need me, you know where to find me.”
Elliana knew some secrets had to stay hidden. Cole’s Psychephrenia—a rare condition known only to a few in the Evans family—wasn’t something she could share, not even with Adah. Ruben had trusted her with that secret, and she intended to keep it.
An hourter, Elliana pulled up to Regal Grove. Every trace of Cole’s people had vanished, leaving the entire estate eerily silent.
Stepping into the living room, Elliana spotted a pristine property deed waiting on the table, untouched and ready for her new beginning. She picked up the deed, scanned the details, and set it gently back on the table. Regal Grove officially belonged to her now. Cole had already signed everything over.
Aside from Cole’s absence, the estate looked untouched—every chair, every book, even the arrangement of flowers exactly as she remembered. Each piece of furniture seemed to murmur fragments of her time with him—the way he used to pull her close on the couch, the heat of their quiet moments behind closed doors, the yful kisses he’d steal between bites at the dining table, and the frustration in his eyes when she’d walk through the door hourster than expected. Every memory seemed to shimmer in the air, impossible to ignore.
With a sigh, Elliana stretched out on the couch where Cole used to sit, eyes fixed on the ceiling. A ce this big felt grand, and now the loneliness pressed in, making the silence seem endless.
As shey there, footsteps echoed through the hallway, snapping her from her thoughts. She nced up to find Clifton walking in with Kieran, Heather, and Damian trailing close behind. All four wore grins, bringing an energy the empty house hadcked.
Heather was the first to speak. “Elliana, Adah told us about your divorce. We figured you could use some cheering up, so here we are.”

Damian’s gaze swept the massive room. “Wow, this ce is enormous! Seriously, you should think about getting some bodyguards.”
Heather interjected with a nod, “Right! And a housekeeper! You know I’m a whiz in the kitchen—I could take care of everything.” She gave her chest a proud tap. “You’d never go hungry with me around.”
Damian showed off his arms with a grin. “Let me handle security. I promise, not even a mosquito gets past me!”
Elliana shot Heather and Damian a look somewhere between amusement and disbelief, and then turned to Clifton and Kieran. “So, what about you two? Any special talents?”
