Boss, Your Ex-wife is Married to Your Rival Chapter 9
Bianca's apartment smelled like the same perfume she'd worn every day for six years — something expensive and deliberate, chosen because Tristan had once mentioned he liked it. He stood in her doorway now, rain still clinging to his shoulders, irritation sitting heavy in his jaw."You said we needed to talk," he said, the moment the door opened not bothering to remove his coat. "So talk.""No hello?" Bianca stepped back to let him in, closing the door with a soft click. "After everything, I'd think you'd at least manage that much.""Bianca.""Fine." She crossed to the counter, poured two glasses of wine neither of them had asked for, and set one in front of him anyway. "I wanted to remind you of something. Since you've been acting like you've forgotten.""Forgotten what?""That this—" she gestured between them, unhurried, deliberate, "—didn't start after your divorce. It started long before Selene ever left."Tristan's jaw tightened. He didn't reach for the wine. Then he thought about

The executive boardroom on the fortieth floor filled slowly that morning, senior directors settling into leather chairs with the particular ease of men and women who'd occupied those same seats for years. Selene took the chair near the end of the table, folder squared in front of her, and felt the weight of a dozen assessing glances land on her before the meeting had even started."Miss Whitmore." One of the senior directors, a silver-haired man named Callahan, slid a thick report across the table towards her without preamble. "Since you're joining these meetings now and you're the CEO’s assistant, perhaps you'd like to walk us through the Meridian acquisition projections."Selene caught the faint smirk he didn't quite hide as she opened the folder. “A test..?” She said to herself. She'd expected one eventually — she just hadn't expected it dressed up as an assignment.She scanned the columns of figures, revenue forecasts, margin calculations, projected growth rates stacked in dense r

Bianca made the call from her office the next morning, door closed, blinds angled just enough to keep the hallway from seeing her face."I need a background check," she said, voice clipped and businesslike, the tone she used for transactions she didn't want traced back to feeling. "Selene Whitmore, recently divorced from Tristan Wolfe, currently employed at Laurent Group.""The usual depth?" The voice on the other end sounded bored, used to these requests."I need something deeper, her employment history, family, anything that doesn't add up." Bianca twisted a pen between her fingers, staring out at the skyline without really seeing it. "She's attaching herself to Zayden Laurent's daughter. I want to know if there's a pattern or there's something more.""You think she's done this before?""I think," Bianca said, "that a woman who lost everything doesn't just happen to land in the house of her ex-husband's biggest rival and become best friends with his kid in under a month."The man on

The silence didn't break so much as splinter, one small noise at a time — a phone ringing unanswered at the front desk, someone's chair creaking as they remembered they were supposed to be working, a printer somewhere spitting out pages nobody needed anymore.Selene became aware of every set of eyes still lingering on her, and heat crawled up her throat in a way no boardroom negotiation had ever managed to produce."I should—" She glanced down at Rosie, still fastened to her side like a limpet, then back up at the sea of faces pretending very hard not to be watching. "I should get back to doing my work.""Everyone." Zayden's voice cut across the floor, low but carrying, and the pretense of busyness collapsed instantly into actual busyness, heads dropping, keyboards clicking, phones answered with sudden enthusiasm.He crouched slightly, bringing himself level with his daughter, though his eyes flicked once towards Selene in something that might have been an apology already forming."Ro

Selene's first morning at Laurent Group started before the sun fully cleared the skyline, her heels clicking across marble at a pace that matched the rhythm already drumming in her chest. She reached her desk twenty minutes early, only to find the executive floor already humming — assistants moving with quiet urgency, phones lit up in a steady chorus, the particular electricity of a company that never really slept.By ten o'clock she'd reorganized the CEO's calendar into something that actually made sense, flagged three scheduling conflicts nobody else had caught, and fielded a call from a vendor in Singapore in flawless, and unhurried composure."You've been here three hours," the department head said, pausing at her desk with something between admiration and suspicion. "How did you already fix the Kessler account mess?""It wasn't a mess," Selene said, not looking up from her screen. "It was disorganized. There's a difference."By noon, word had already made its way around the floor

Mara's apartment smelled like cinnamon candles and fresh coffee, a small one-bedroom on the fourth floor with a couch that pulled out into a bed nobody's spine really forgave the next morning. Selene set her two boxes down by the window and looked around at the cramped, cluttered warmth of it. "It's not much," Mara said, already pulling a spare blanket from the hall closet, "but it's yours as long as you need it." "It's temporary," Selene said, more to herself than to her friend. "just give me few weeks ok, i'll find something." Mara raised an eyebrow but didn't argue. She'd learned a long time ago that arguing with Selene about limits she set for herself was a losing game. Selene didn't sleep much that first night. She lay staring at the water stain on the ceiling, running numbers in her head — rent she didn't have, a job she needed, a life she had to build out of nothing but her own two hands, same as she always had. By morning she'd already ironed the one blazer she owned and m
