CONTRACTED TO MY EX-HUSBAND’S ENEMY Panic attack (II)
PANIC ATTACK (II)They hesitated, looked at each other, then filed out of the apartment, carefully. Their feet shuffle told Zoe that they had worked with a lot of brides, knew when to step back and understood how to disappear.Nova zipped the bag back up with infinite care and hung it on the door. Ariana led her workers out, squeezing Zoe's shoulder gently on her way out.She whispered, “Take your time.”Zoe didn’t trust herself to respond, so she sat very still until the door clicked shut.Zoe sat on the edge of the bed, stared at the dress through the plastic wrap around it and struggled to breathe.Her chest had started to tighten the moment Nora said it was perfect for her, and now the tightness was climbing, pressing up against her ribs like something trying to get out. Her breath came in short, shallow pulls. Her fingers tingled. The room seemed to stretch and shrink at the same time, the window too bright, the walls too close.‘Calm down, Zoe. It's a dress. It's just a dress.
CONTRACTED TO MY EX-HUSBAND’S ENEMY Panic attack (I)
The apartment was full of her family by the time she got there, which was not a surprise knowing how open-mouthed Chloe could be, but most of them were pretending not to look at her, which was unnerving her even further.Her father was in the living room, sitting very upright on the sofa with his hands clasped in front of him, the same way he used to sit in the principal's office when Chloe had set a fire in science class. He stood up the moment she walked in, opened his mouth, then shut it again. He settled on a hug, patting her hair gently the way he used to when she would sneak into her parents’ bedrooms because of thunderstorms as a kid at night.Zoe allowed herself to breathe deeply since returning to New York, "Hi, Daddy.""Zoe." His voice cracked on her name. "You scared me."Zoe bit her lip hard to prevent the tears from falling, "I know, and I'm sorry, daddy."Luke Beckett hugged his daughter firmly that her necklace dug into her collarbone. She didn't mind.Her mother was i
CONTRACTED TO MY EX-HUSBAND’S ENEMY Playing the Victim
Zoe turned her phone on at four in the morning, sitting on the edge of the Monaco bed with the sun barely over the water and her heart doing something unhelpful.Then the screen exploded.Missed calls, four hundred and twelve. Several text messages, she stopped counting at a hundred. Her email inbox had turned into a crime scene. Three voicemails from her father, all of them some variation of "Zoe, call me, please."A voicemail from her mother that was only ten minutes long and contained the words "Your father has aged and you shouldn’t drop off the face of the earth before telling your parents." Two from Chloe, which she didn't play because her voicemails always sounded like she was being chased.And at the top of the several messages that mattered, there was Nathaniel.Zoe noted with surprise that she had forgotten to reply his last message and the apprehension was obvious in his messages.Have you landed yet?I'm not calling. I want you to know I'm not calling.I'm not calling, a
CONTRACTED TO MY EX-HUSBAND’S ENEMY The one and only Zoe Beckett
Third day in the hotel suite and Zoe was feeling refreshed. A smile sat on her lips as a hum to her favorite song spilled through them.She stepped out of the hotel’s doors decked in a short grey skirt and a long sleeved Armani shirt. Her hand free of her phone led her to crane her neck up to the sky with a grin.After locking herself in her room for one day and two nights, Zoe was excited about her future. She wasn’t so sure of how it would turn out but being able to be able to finally direct how she wanted her life to actually turn out once again, was a gift she grateful about after losing it twice.“Da ------da…… dum…dum.. dum.., Excuse me.” she said as she turned around a corner.“Sorry about that.” A hand grabbed her by the elbow steadying her gently.Zoe removed her hand from his grip, a grateful smile covering her face, “Thank you about that.”“Wait..” the voice with a heavy Italian accent spoke.“Aren’t you Zoe Beckett?“Zoe lifted her eyes to his. She was not a celebrity, so
CONTRACTED TO MY EX-HUSBAND’S ENEMY A VIP seat for Uncle Anthony
A VIP SEAT FOR UNCLE ANTHONYHaving to fill out her MBA form, something she couldn’t do in her past life filled Zoe with a sense of excitement and fulfillment.Name, date of birth, address, transcripts. She filled them all in without stopping until she reached the essay prompt.Describe a time you led under pressure and what you learned from the experience.She sat back in the chair and laughed so hard she had to put her hand over her mouth.She had led through a wedding dress fitting where the seamstress wept, through Emery’s family extended dinner where nobody passed her salt because they were planning to hate her. She’d led the Beckett’s family charity for teens since she turned twenty-two, with a team that was very thorough, and Zoe had done this in heels.Even now, she was under pressure. She needed more ammunition to destroy Emery completely. All she had was information enough to ruin his reputation and drive it into a unrecoverable mud.She started typing and didn't stop for tw
CONTRACTED TO MY EX-HUSBAND’S ENEMY Flight to Monaco
The Monaco suite had a bathtub large enough to drown a small argument in, and Zoe had already decided she would use it for exactly one thing, which was thinking.Her family did not own a house in Monaco. They owned houses across the united states, a flat in London that Chloe had claimed as her spirit house, a villa in Cancun that Baker referred to like it was a person, and two properties in Singapore that her father paid a caretaker to pretend to look after. Monaco was not on her family’s show off list. That was the reason she'd chosen it. No ghosts from her family going back to tell her father every single thing she did. No housekeeper trained spy informing her mother of her actions and spiking the poor woman’s blood pressure. And more importantly, no one to look at her with poorly concealed pity or condescension in their eyes.She dropped her suitcase by the door of her suite and stood in the middle of the room, phone buzzing against her palm like a trapped wasp.Fourteen unread
