Amelia's POV

London — Two Years Earlier

* * *

I made it to the street before my hands started shaking.

I stood on the pavement outside The Langham in the grey London afternoon and looked at my hands and watched them shake and told them to stop and but they didn't immediately listen.

I hailed a cab.

Inside the cab I sat very straight and very still and looked out the window and didn't think about anything at all until I got home.

Diana was in the kitchen when I walked in. She took one look at m

  • 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

  • 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

  • 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

  • CHASING HIS SUPERSTAR WIFE   CHAPTER 29

    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

    Amelia's POV"Through a mutual contact," he said.I had waited for more but nothing came."That is not an answer," I finally said."It is an answer," he replied. "It is just not a complete one." And there was a pause before he continued. "I will explain over dinner. If you do come."I looked across

    James's POVAmelia had ran the entire meeting herself.I had expected her to defer to someone. Maybe a lawyer, a financial advisor, one of the three people she had brought with her. I had expected her to be the name on the contract and let someone else be the voice in the room.Imagine my surprise

    Amelia's POVMrs. Brooks was at the apartment door when I came out of the bedroom.She looked me over once, the way she always did, with the calm thoroughness of someone checking that everything was in order and had found it satisfactory. She did not say anything. With Helen, silence was usually he
