CHASING HIS SUPERSTAR WIFE CHAPTER 33
Amelia's POVI had not pulled away.That was the first thought I remember having clearly. It was not the kiss itself—the kiss had dissolved all clear thoughts in my head almost immediately. But the moment before, when I had stood in his living room with my bag in my hand and one foot pointed toward the door, his hands had found my face, and everything had shifted.I had not pulled away.I had stayed.And then the bag had dropped to the floor, and his hands had moved from my face, and everything else had followed with the particular inevitability of something that had been building for weeks without either of us saying it directly.He was very careful with me.That was what I noticed first and kept noticing. The way he handled me was not urgent, and it was also not rushed. He moved like a man who understood that this mattered and was not going to treat it like it did not. His hands were steady, and he was present in a way I had not experienced in a very long time—fully present, entirel
CHASING HIS SUPERSTAR WIFE CHAPTER 32
Amelia's POVThe estate was quiet.In truth, I had expected something louder. I expected something that announced itself. Carter Holdings was a company that moved billions, and Henry Carter was its CEO, and the address Priya had given me was in one of the city's most exclusive postcodes.But the estate itself was understated. It was tree-lined and was the kind of place that did not need gates and security theater to communicate its value because the value was self-evident to anyone who knew what they were looking at. Wide pavements. Old stone. The particular quiet of somewhere that had been expensive for so long, it no longer felt the need to prove itself.I was not interested in any of it.I walked up to the building and pressed the buzzer for the penthouse and waited.There was a pause.Then I heard his voice through the intercom, calm as always."Amelia."It was not a question.And the door buzzed open.* * *He opened the door himself.He was still in what he had worn to lunch—the

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
CHASING HIS SUPERSTAR WIFE THIRTY
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

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

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 reveal
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 n
CHASING HIS SUPERSTAR WIFE CHAPTER SEVEN
Amelia's POVThe dress was black.It was not the soft, apologetic kind of black that women wore when they were trying not to be noticed. This was sharp black. Structured. It was the kind that walked into a room before you did.I stood in front of the mirror in the hotel suite and looked at myself f
CHASING HIS SUPERSTAR WIFE CHAPTER SIX
I did not go straight home.I stood outside the pharmacy for a moment after Amelia walked away and watched her disappear around the corner. It was unhurried, and she did not once look back. This was the particular walk of a woman who had somewhere better to be and was in no doubt about her directio
