The weekend should have been the easiest part of the week.

The one day Solène didn’t have to force smiles at employees while pretending the foundation of her company wasn’t balancing dangerously on a thread.

She’d actually made plans for once.

Ari had some sort of junior brand ambassador event later in the afternoon, then afterward she was supposed to meet one of the other mothers at the park so the kids could play.

Perfect distraction to keep her head straight.

That’s all she wanted.

I guess she’s mad and that was her brother, but she’s not innocent and is hiding a huge secret herself and is lying to people so maybe it’ll be less judgmental

  • Breaking Her at Thanksgiving   Chapter 128

    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

    “Go home.” Solène heard her own words over and over again for the rest of the day after Hannah left.Cold, final.Like she hadn’t just looked her crying stepsister in the face and sent her away anyway.She’d waited until Hannah and Katie were fully outside before letting her expression loosen even slightly. Smiling while the girls said their goodbyes. Even crouching to give Katie a small hug before the little girl climbed into the car.Ronan and Michael had come out too, standing near the driveway with Raphael.From a distance, they looked normal enough. Relaxed even.But the second Solène’s eyes met Ronan’s across the driveway, she knew the smile on his face was fake.And whatever had passed between her and Hannah inside, had probably passed between the men outside too.But more importantly, now she knew that Ronan was aware of Atlas’s will.‘God,’ she whispered, stopping her fingers from shaking as she sat in the back seat of the car that day, on the way to Ari’s ambassador event.A

    Michael was already halfway through his second bottle before Ronan even settled properly into his chair.And honestly, Ronan was grateful he’d dragged the man into the garden instead of keeping this conversation inside the house where Ari seemed to pick up almost every little thing adults said lately.Micheal was nearly drunk out of his mind.“So let me get this straight.” Micheal said, forcing back a burp. “That little girl I saw once is Atlas’s child?”Ronan glanced at him briefly, like he was checking whether the alcohol had finally dissolved the man’s brain.Then he turned away again without responding.“And now,” Micheal went on. “Your brother’s in the city and he’s going after Atlas’s baby mama. AKA,your wife’s sister.” Ronan’s jaw tightened as Micheal burst into laughter.“Fuck, dude.” He lifted the glass again. “Your life is cinema right now.” He laughed again.“Look, I’m not here to gossip with you.” Ronan finally muttered, sitting forward. “I let you come here so we can tal

    Solène waited a second, watching the two girls run around without a care in the world. And of course, every bit of effort she’d put into Ari’s hair had already disappeared into the wind.Then finally forcing herself to move, she walked into the living room.Hannah followed closely behind, her fingers trembling slightly, her eyes fixed everywhere except Solène as she tried to rehearse words she should’ve prepared before stepping into this house.Then slowly, letting out a breath, Solene sank into one of the chairs.Hannah sat across from her carefully, almost nervously, her fingers curling tightly together on her lap.And for the first time since Hannah walked in, Solène really looked at her.She looked fine, actually.Not that Solène expected her to fall apart physically. But no matter how calm Hannah looked sitting there, there was no way Solène would ever see her the same again.Not after knowing what she and Atlas had done.Still, Solene could tell she was taking good care of herse
