CHASING HIS SUPERSTAR WIFE CHAPTER 31
Amelia's POVPriya had sent the article alongside the voice note.I had not noticed it at first, as I had been sitting with the voice note and what it had told me. I was too stunned to navigate anything else. But when I looked at my phone properly, there it was—an attachment, a document, the draft that had never been published.I opened it.I read it from the beginning to the end without stopping.It was worse than I expected.It was not crude, and it wasn't too obviously malicious in the way that could be easily dismissed. It was careful, structured, and designed to look like legitimate journalism while functioning as something else entirely. It took real details—Diana, the connection to Marcus Cole, and the circumstances of my early London years—and reframed them with a precision that would have been convincing to anyone who did not know the truth.The version of me in that article was not a woman who had built something real from nothing.It was a woman whose entire career was in c

Amelia's POVI had rearranged the living room cushions three times.I was aware of this, and I was also aware that rearranging cushions was not something I did and that the fact I was doing it now meant something I was not going to examine too closely.Mrs. Brooks was in the kitchen. I could hear her moving around in there, the particular rhythm of someone who knew exactly what they were doing and was doing it without needing to think about it. She had said nothing when I told her we were having a guest for lunch. She had simply nodded and opened the refrigerator and started taking things out.But she had looked at me once.I knew that particular look. It was the one she used when she had noticed something and had decided not to comment on it. I had been on the receiving end of that look enough times to know exactly what it contained.I put the cushion back where it had been originally."Mama! " Liam was in the corner of the living room with his cars, and he held one up for my inspect

Amelia's POVHe was already there when I arrived.He was standing outside the restaurant rather than inside it, which I had not expected. He had a bunch of flowers in his hand — yellow tulips, simple and unshowy, wrapped in brown paper rather than the elaborate cellophane that florists used when they were trying to make something look more expensive than it was.He held them out when I reached him."Congratulations," he said.I looked at the tulips.I had immediately thought that there was something about the simplicity of it—the brown paper, the yellow, the fact that he had brought them at all—as it was more disarming than an elaborate gesture would have been."Thank you," I said. I took them.He held the door open and I walked in.* * *The restaurant was busier than the dinner had been.The reason was the lunchtime crowds. It had the particular energy of people on a schedule, eating quickly, and having clipped conversations. A different kind of public than an evening restaurant—mor
CHASING HIS SUPERSTAR WIFE CHAPTER 28
James's POVMarcus had told me all about the news at eleven.I was in a budget meeting that had been going nowhere for two hours when he knocked and leaned into the doorway with that particular expression he used when the information was good enough to justify the interruption."Mrs. Sinclair has been cast in the Glen Winters production," he said. "It is a significant supporting role and it was announced this morning."I looked at him for a moment.And then I stood up."Reschedule this meeting some other time," I said to the room, and walked out.* * *I had been neglecting her.That was the honest version of it and I was very much so capable of the honest version when I was alone in the back of a car with nobody to perform a different version for.The past two weeks had totally consumed me. It had all begun with Amelia's return and the rest fell down like dominoes. The site meeting. The contract amendment and its reversal. The report from Marcus. The nights I had spent reading about
CHASING HIS SUPERSTAR WIFE CHAPTER 27
Isabel's POVLast week had been a very good week.But that was also part of what made today so unbearable.Last week I had gotten the call from my agent. Glen Winters' production. I was offered a supporting role. I would be playing Veda — a woman who moved through the story as an ally before revealing herself as something else entirely. My agent had said the words significant supporting role and I had felt something I had not felt in a long time. This was something that was not manufactured and not performed.I had felt genuine pride.I had earned that role.I would be playing Veda.James had connections to the production company — a favour called in, a word placed carefully in the right ear — but the audition had been mine. I had prepared for it. I had walked into that room and done the work and they had chosen me on the basis of what I had shown them.I had spent the week in a good mood. I was lighter than I had been in months. The Carter Holdings situation was still sitting at the
CHASING HIS SUPERSTAR WIFE CHAPTER 26
Amelia's POVThe first thing I did when I got home was call Diana.I sat on the sofa with my coat still on and the script folder on the cushion beside me, and I called her. It rang. And rang. And then it went to voicemail.I left her a message."Diana. Call me when you get this. I have news. Good news. The kind you are going to want to hear from me directly."I hung up and looked at the folder.Sera.I had said yes in a coffee shop on a Tuesday morning to the largest role of my career, and I desperately needed to tell the very person who had made that career possible, and she was not answering her phone.I checked my messages. Priya had forwarded the article to Diana that morning—I had confirmed it myself. Diana had not responded. She had not responded to the article or to the three messages I had sent since.That was unlike her.Diana Marsh was many things. And unreachable was not one of them. She had a particular relationship with her phone that she described as a professional oblig
CHASING HIS SUPERSTAR WIFE CHAPTER 21
James's POVThe very next day after I had given him the instruction, Marcus would deliver the report at seven in the morning.I had been awake since five.I sat at the desk in my study and read through it with the kind of attention I had not given a document in months. I went through every page and

Henry's POVI did not go home.The car was still moving when I told the driver to change direction. He did not ask questions. He had worked for me long enough to know that when I gave a destination at this hour with that tone, questions were not part of the arrangement.I sat in the back and looked
CHASING HIS SUPERSTAR WIFE CHAPTER 19
Henry's POVI had arrived at the restaurant forty minutes early.Not because I was anxious, but because I needed to think.I sat at the table they had reserved, ordered water, looked at the menu without fully reading it, and went through the evening the way I went through everything that mattered —
CHASING HIS SUPERSTAR WIFE CHAPTER 18
Amelia's POVHe did not look away when he asked it.That was the first thing I noticed. Most people who were about to say something difficult looked away at the last second. There would be a glance at the table or maybe even a shift toward the window. For some, there would be a small physical retre
