“Dinner. Tomorrow night. Just you…”

“You work too hard, you know that, right?”

Solène scoffed softly, forcing down the smile threatening to pull at her lips as she tried to focus on the laptop balanced on her thighs.

After realizing Ronan had tricked her into agreeing to dinner, she’d told herself she’d only accepted because she was tired.

Tired of the tension, tired of pretending things were normal when every room in the house felt stretched thin with things left unsaid.

And honestly? She wa

  • Breaking Her at Thanksgiving   Chapter 131

    “Sir, these are the last of them.” The stack of folders landed beside his computer with a heavy thud, nearly as tall as the monitor itself.Ronan’s eyes flicked to the pile, a brow going up instantly, then he turned to the employee.“Are you sure?” “Yes, sir. We—” The man stopped abruptly, catching the edge of sarcasm in his own voice. He straightened almost immediately. “Definitely, sir.”Ronan picked up the nearest folder anyway.It was airport clearance forms.Another one.He shut it with a flat snap and dropped it back onto the pile, already regretting every business expansion he’d approved in the last three years.His mind whispering to have listened to Micheal, and just get a manager to run everything under his command.“You can go,” he finally said.The man didn’t waste another second. He gave a stiff nod and hurried out of the office.The moment the door shut, Ronan hit send on the mail he’d been typing and leaned back in his chair, rubbing a hand over his face as exhaustion

  • Breaking Her at Thanksgiving   Chapter 130

    Solène shoved the phone into her bag a little harder than necessary and started toward the building before she could change her mind and just go back home.“He told me he wanted to get married to Hannah.” Her Mom’s voice rang loudly in her head.And she just wanted to scream until all the anger was out of her body.God, she hated it. She hated what Atlas did. Hated that he did all that and then just died.She shouldn’t have picked her Mom’s call to begin with. Because all she’d gained from it was her mood getting ruined.She should have just ignored it like she’d been doing.She inhaled deeply as she crossed the parking lot, heels clicking sharply against the pavement as she made for the door, half hoping shopping would help calm her down.“Welcome, ma’am,” the security man at the door greeted warmly with a smile.And immediately, Solène’s expression settled back into something calm. Controlled.She smiled politely. “Thank you.” Then she stepped into the large building.Cold air immed

    “I know I haven’t been completely honest with you, Solène. But please…just listen to me.” Solène let out a tired breath, rubbing slowly at the back of her neck like it would somehow help her form a response.Because somehow, this was all she’d been hearing all week, along with every other thing going on with her.Apology, explanation about why things were hidden from her then them asking for understanding after the damage was already done.But for the first time in weeks though, she’d let her mother’s call pass the two-minute mark.Now she sat in the backseat of the car, eyes fixed beyond the tinted window while the phone stayed pressed against her ear.And frankly, since the call began, all she’d done was breathe.“Solène?” Her Mom’s voice came through again. As firm as she remembered, but a little worn down at the edges. “Are you still there?” Solène shut her eyes briefly. “I’m listening.” Vanessa actually paused, and Solene could feel she was a little surprised by her words.The

    Solène let the phone ring for a few more seconds, her heart slowing like she didn’t want to take it.Then just before it ended, she lifted the receiver to her ear.“Mr Laurent.” “Mrs Alvarez.” His deep voice came calmly through the line. “I apologize for the delay.” Solène’s back met the chair again, in an attempt to breathe normally. “You said you’d call when you found something.“And I did.” There was a small pause, and Solene remained quiet, listening to the faint sounds on his end.“How bad is it?” She asked quietly.Papers shifting echoed from his end now, then he answered.“That depends entirely on whether the will resurfaces publicly.” Solène shut her eyes briefly, letting it sink in.Because of course.“Tell me plainly.” She finally said. “I’m ready to take anything at this point.” Mr Laurent let out a soft hum. “Plainly? Alright. If Hannah or any other person interested in it discovers you’re in possession of Atlas’s original will and decides to pursue legal action, thei

    A frown had crossed Solene’s face. “Girlfriend?” she asked slowly. “How did you—” “Lewis, Solene. And I know Mr Laurent, Atlas’s lawyer.” Ronan’s voice cut through the bathroom, deep and steady. “But that’s not what matters right now.”Solène tried to exhale, but no matter what she did, the water just felt colder against her skin as the seconds ticked by.“My brother seems really serious about finding that will.” Ronan continued, leaning slightly closer. “And both of us know what’s at stake.” “I’m not letting it go,” Solène blurted.But Ronan remained calm. “I know. But now my brother’s involved, he’s not letting it go either.”Solène remembered her breath catching in her throat in that instant, the fear which had drowned in the water earlier suddenly slipping back into her skin.Because just moments ago she’d almost convinced herself things could still be controlled. Maybe Hannah would back off eventually. That maybe Paris would buy her enough time to breathe.But Raphael?He sound

    “I told you she won’t know where it is.” Hannah dropped into the chair heavily, folding her arms tight across her chest as she stared blankly ahead. “She probably doesn’t even care where the hell it is.”Raphael came down the stairs slowly, one step at a time. One hand shoved inside his pocket while the other held an unlit cigarette between his fingers.He stopped behind Hannah’s chair, his eyes fixed on her hair as his thoughts spiraled.They’d been back hours ago. Pretending everything was fine. Helping Katie with assignments due Monday, while their faces hurt from fake smiles.Now it was dark. Katie was properly tucked under her duvet up the stairs, sleeping soundly. And they could finally pull off their masks.Raphael, for one, wanted to punch something. Or better yet, set something on fire. Because the second he and the others walked back from the garden earlier, the look on Hannah’s face had told him everything.They’d failed.But even more annoying was the look on Ronan’s face
