Stolen love: In love with my sister 's fiance-Chapter 58: A long awaited reunion

The airport buzzed with life—announcements echoing overhead, travelers rushing to their gates, the steady hum of conversations blending into a constant murmur.

Elaine walked with quiet confidence, her daughter's small hand in hers, while her assistant trailed behind, struggling to keep up.

Her phone was pressed to her ear as she spoke to her business partner. "Yes, the deal is finalized. We'll review the contracts once I land. No, postpone the meeting by a day—I need time to settle in."

She crossed the terminal, focused, her mind on work.

On the other side of the crowded airport, he was here.

The man who had spent years searching for her.

Dressed in a tailored suit, his face was unreadable, but his presence commanded attention. His bodyguards flanked him as they approached the private jet terminal.

They were mere steps apart.

Two lives, two paths—unknowingly converging.

Yet, neither of them looked up.

Neither of them realized how close they had come.

And within moments, they passed each other, heading toward separate gates.

Fate had brought them to the same place. But was it ready to reunite them?

Seated in first class, Elaine gazed out the window, watching the clouds drift by.

Beside her, Athena pressed her small hands against the glass, her eyes wide with awe. "Mama, look! The clouds are so close!" she whispered excitedly.

Elaine smiled softly. Every time they flew, Athena was mesmerized by the sky.

A quiet chime sounded overhead, and her assistant leaned closer. "Madam, we'll be landing shortly."

Elaine nodded, straightening in her seat as the plane began its descent.

As they stepped off the plane, the crisp air of New York wrapped around her. A place of painful memories. A place she once vowed never to return to.

But this time, she was different. This time, she was untouchable.

Her assistant had arranged everything—a suite at her own five-star hotel.

After all, she owned it.

In the past six years, she had built an empire. Hotel chains, restaurants, a shopping mall, and even a private security firm. Every business venture had flourished under her hands.

She had paved her own way.

And now, she was back. Not as the naive, heartbroken girl who once begged for love. But as a billionaire.

Elaine's eyes flickered with something unreadable as she glanced at the city skyline.

Somewhere, her father was watching.

The man who had thrown her aside, who had sold away everything that was supposed to be her's .

But now? Everything he once owned belonged to her.

She had been the anonymous buyer who purchased every piece of his crumbling empire.

And as for her father's downfall? She wasn't entirely sure who had orchestrated his company's destruction, but she had her suspicions.

Whoever it was, they had done her a favor.

With Athena's small hand in hers, she took a deep breath and stepped forward.

New York didn't know it yet. But the woman they once abandoned had returned—stronger than ever.

Mary stood outside the car, shifting on her feet as she scanned the arrivals. The moment she spotted Elaine, she rushed forward, wrapping her arms around her tightly.

Elaine froze for a second, caught off guard, but then she relaxed. Mary was trembling slightly, and when she pulled back, her eyes were misty.

"You actually came back," Mary whispered, her voice barely above a breath.

Elaine gave a small smile. "Didn't really have a choice, did I?"

Mary let out a wet laugh before her gaze dropped to the little girl standing beside Elaine, clutching her mother's hand.

"Oh my God," Mary breathed, bending slightly. "Is this Athena?"

Athena looked up at her with wide eyes, shy but curious.

"Hi, Aunt Mary," she said softly.

Mary grinned and, without thinking, scooped the little girl into her arms. Athena hesitated for a moment but then wrapped her arms around Mary's neck.

"You are so beautiful," Mary said, pressing a kiss to her hair. "Even prettier than your mama."

Athena giggled, and Elaine rolled her eyes playfully. "Alright, don't inflate her ego too much."

Mary chuckled as they all climbed into the car.

—

As they drove through the familiar streets, Mary caught Elaine up on everything—the wedding preparations, her fiancé, and how crazy things had been.

"You have to come to my bachelorette party tonight," she insisted. "I invited everyone from college. It'll be like a little reunion."

Elaine glanced at Athena, who was sleepily leaning against her. "I don't know, Mary..."

"No excuses," Mary cut in. "You're coming. And before you ask—yes, I already got a babysitter lined up at the hotel for Athena. You deserve a night out."

Elaine sighed, knowing there was no way she'd win this argument. "Fine, I'll come."

Mary grinned in victory before hesitating slightly.

"Will your husband be joining too?"

Elaine blinked, caught off guard by the question. "Uh... I don't know. He's busy with work."

Mary nodded, chewing on her lip before adding hesitantly, "Alex will be there, you know. He and my fiancé are business partners."

The car went quiet for a moment.

Elaine took a deep breath, keeping her expression neutral.

"That's fine," she said simply.

Mary studied her, as if waiting for something—anger, sadness, anything. But Elaine just looked ahead, stroking Athena's hair absentmindedly.

"I've moved on, Mary," she added, her voice steady. "I have my daughter, my work... I don't have time to dwell on the past."

Mary relaxed a little, nodding. "Good."

Still, as they neared the hotel, she couldn't shake the feeling that the past had a way of catching up—whether Elaine was ready for it or not.
