My Coldhearted Ex demands a Remarriage by Eva Blackwood

Chapter 76 Elizabeth’s frown deepened, memories tugging at her like an unwanted tide.

In the early days of her marriage to Elijah, Oliver had practically hounded her, calling incessantly.

He’d shamelessly invoked their shared bloodline to demand favors, whether it was insider stock tips, business deals, or invitations to high-society galas for Yara to snag a wealthy husband.

But Elizabeth had never been one to dance to anyone’s tune, least of all Oliver’s.

Her refusals were firm and final.

When it became clear he couldn’t use her as a pawn, Oliver dropped the pretense of fatherly affection.

Two years had passed without so much as a word between them.

And yet, here he was, calling out of the blue.

The timing wasn’t lost on her.

Their recent encounter, coupled with news of her impending divorce, had likely stirred his interest.

The phone buzzed persistently, on the verge of stopping.

She hesitated, weighing her options, before finally answering.
