After Divorce; I Married My Husband’s Brother Chapter 45
Gwen’s povThe door clicked shut and my legs simply stopped working.I went down slowly. It wasn’t a fall, just a slow descent with my back against the side of the bed.I pulled my knees to my chest as I felt the cold of the floor through my clothes then I sat there in the quiet of the room and let everything I had been holding all day come apart at once.The crying came from somewhere deep and old, it wasn’t the clean kind that released something and left you lighter. My tears were the kind that came from a place that had been sealed for a long time and had finally found a crack.And then the memories came the way they always came when I was too tired to keep them out.I had been seventeen and mopping the floor of the pack house corridor when he turned the corner and stopped.I remembered looking up and finding him watching me and my first instinct had been to apologize for being in the way, for existing in a corridor he needed to use because that was what omegas without families di

Xavier’s povGwen and I left for the hospital, Josie had been discharged and had to be brought home.Josie was still pale but slightly better than we had last seen her, on the drive home she didn’t say a word and just laid close to her mother with her head on her thighs.As we got home she held my hand from the car to the front door and didn't run ahead the way she normally did.I opened the door then she turned to Gwen.“Mummy, can I watch TV?” She asked.“Of course my baby” Gwen replied with a light smile.We all went to the sofa, Gwen sat as I turned on the television and put on one of the cartoon channels Josie loved to watch.I sat with them until Josie’s eyes got heavy and she drifted off against the cushions and neither of us said a word to each other the entire time.Gwen carried her to bed as I waited downstairs and listened to the penthouse settle around me.I thought about the courtroom, Graham's voice and the look on Gwen's face when the judge asked for evidence she didn't

Gwen’s pov The courtroom smelled like old wood with a hint of citrus and lavender, it had this institutional chill of a room where people's lives got decided by people who didn't know them. I sat beside Graham with my hands folded on the table, my back straight and my face giving nothing away as I watched Cole's lawyer stand up and begin dismantling me with the smooth confidence of someone who had done this many times and found it easy. "Your Honor." His voice filled the room without effort. "Miss Rivers is an omega, she is a rank that within the Hallow Pack carries specific designations regarding stability and capacity and we are not here to be unkind about that; however we are here to be honest." He paused for weight. "Miss Rivers has demonstrated a consistent pattern of instability even as we speak, her child is currently hospitalized with an unidentified substance in her system and the question this court must ask is simple. That question is how does something like that

Gwen’s povJaniya had been restless all day.I had felt it since morning that low unsettled pulling that my wolf did when something was wrong and she knew it before I did, pacing somewhere deep inside me like she was trying to tell me something that I wasn't listening to carefully enough. I had put it down to the week, it was probably just my encounter with Cole that caused it or the weight of the drive sitting in my dresser and the latest Jessica Sterling touching Xavier in that office and all the things I was carrying that I hadn't put down yet.I had not listened.I should have listened.The doctor was young, younger than I expected for someone delivering news this heavy.He was careful and steady in a manner that made me think of when he might have learnt to carry difficult information into rooms."We found a substance in her system," his tone was even."Something that shouldn't be there.""What substance?" I heard my own voice come out very flat. "That's the difficulty." He loo

Xavier’s povJessica had been in my office for eleven minutes and I had spent nine of them regretting agreeing to this meeting.She had arrived in a dress that was making a statement she had not been asked to make, it was cut low enough that the first thing you registered when she walked in was not her face then she had settled into the chair across from my desk.If her father wasn’t an Alpha I would have thrown her out of my office for putting up such a disgusting act.I kept my eyes on the documents between us and my voice on the business at hand because that was the only thing we were here for regardless of what she had decided."The Sterling Group aviation contract needs one amendment before I can sign off" I muttered."The liability clause on page fourteen needs to reflect shared responsibility and not…”"Xavier." She mentioned my name like it was something she was trying on.I looked up.She was already moving around the side of the desk with the confidence of someone who had ne

Gwen’s pov The pen felt heavier than it should have when I signed. The realtor slid the final page across the desk and I looked at the number at the bottom, it was slightly under thirty million. This was something I could afford with my money, I didn’t need the help of Xavier. I made the full purchase amount, not a deposit, not a payment plan and I signed my name across it cleanly without batting an eye then pushed it back. The realtor looked at me with the mild surprise of someone who had been in this business long enough to know that people who bought commercial properties outright without financing arrangements were not common and were worth something. I did not explain myself. I picked up my copy of the documents and put them in my bag. “Congratulations Miss Rivers” “Thank you” I replied then we shook hands and I walked out into the afternoon with the keys in my hand and the deed in my bag. I had this satisfaction of someone who now owned something permanent which was ent

Gwen: The clock on the office wall said 8:47 when I finally closed the file. My back was hurting and my eyes felt awful like someone had rubbed them with sand. I had been sitting at my desk since seven that morning which translated to thirteen hours of working on contracts for a firm that paid me

Gwen’s pov The bed was empty.Not just empty, stripped. The pillow was gone and the monitors had turned dark. The IV stand was pushed into the corner like something nobody needed anymore. I stood in the doorway. The floor tilted under me as a deathly sound came out of my mouth."Ma'am, ""Where is

Gwen’s pov “We found it." Those two words hit me before the Doctor even finished sitting down. I held on to the edge of the chair to stop myself from getting up. "Found what exactly?" I said. My voice, faint. The doctor folded his hands and looked forlorn. The kind of gesture doctors made b

Xavier’s povThe penthouse was quiet when I walked in and that was how I knew Josie was asleep.The light in the living area was on.Gwen was at the coffee table with her laptop open and papers spread around her and a cup of something that had probably been warm an hour ago sitting forgotten at her
