Chasing The Wife He Discarded Ch: 48 He Brought Him Here.
Nerissa's POVThe phone rang a little after two. Rousseau.I almost let it go, from pure exhaustion, until I remembered he didn't call at two in the morning for nothing."Rousseau.""Miss Vane. Are you home?""I am. Why?""I need to see you. Now, if I can.""It's the middle of the night.""I know what time it is." A pause, brief but heavy. "This can't wait until morning."I glanced at the study door, at the dark hallway beyond it where the twins were asleep two floors up. "What's all this about?""Just let me in when I get there. Please."He hung up before I could push further, which wasn't like him. Rousseau usually explained everything twice, in far more detail than anyone wanted at that hour. Not tonight.I told Henri to expect him, then sat back down and waited, running through every version of bad news that could be worth waking a lawyer's client at two in the morning.None of the versions I imagined.The gate camera caught them first, two shapes walking up the drive under the se
Chasing The Wife He Discarded Ch: 47 No Time to Wait.
Lysander's POVI was about to close the door of the car when my phone rang.Unknown number. I picked it up."Hello. Who's this?""Mr. Blackwood." A man's voice, clipped, awake despite the hour. "This better be good.""Who is this?""Étienne Rousseau." "Your lawyer called me twenty minutes ago sounding like the building was on fire. I don't get calls like that at two in the morning for nothing, so here I am, calling you myself.""I didn't expect you to call tonight.""Neither did I. But Desmond Cho doesn't panic, Mr. Blackwood. That's not a compliment I give him easily, so when he panics, I pay attention." Papers shuffled on his end. "He said you have something. He wouldn't say what.""I do.""Then tell me.""Not over the phone."A short, humorless laugh. "You people and your phones."Can we meet? Tonight."Silence for a second. "There's an office two streets off the Rue du Marché," Rousseau said finally. "Small building, no sign on the door. I'll text you the address.""I'll be ther

Lysander's POVI asked the driver to stop the car, i stepped out and Seraphina was just confused."Lysander, get in the car.""I can't go yet."She spun around so fast her earring caught the light. "What do you mean, you can't go yet? We're leaving. That was the whole point.""I have to see someone first.""See who?" Her eyes narrowed. "It's one in the morning.""Business."I said it too fast, and I heard it land wrong even as it left my mouth."Business." She repeated the word like it tasted bad. "At a gala. After what just happened in there.""Seraphina""Don't." She held up a hand, sharp, final. "I saw your face when you looked at that boy. Don't stand here and tell me this is business."I didn't answer that, because there wasn't a version of the truth I could give her right now that wouldn't make everything worse."Go home," I said instead. "Take the car. I'll get a ride.""You're really doing this.""Please."She stared at me a long moment."Fine," she said. "Do whatever you want
Chasing The Wife He Discarded Ch: 45 Crack in the Wall.
Nerissa's POVThe twins didn't wake up when we got home. Lucien carried Nicole, I carried Nicholas, and we passed each other on the stairs without saying a word, both of us moving quiet and careful, like the house itself might wake them if we weren't.I pulled Nicholas's shoes off and tucked the blanket up to his chin. He mumbled something about grape juice and rolled over.I stood there a minute longer than I needed to.He look more like his father every month. I used to think it would fade as he grew, the way baby faces sometimes do. It hadn't. If anything, it was getting worse.Lucien was waiting for me in the hallway when I came out, tie completely undone now, sleeves pushed up."He's out cold," he said. "Nicole read him the shark chapter for six minutes before he stopped answering her.""That's a record.""She's very proud of herself."We walked down to the study together. Neither of us switched on the main lights, just the lamp by the window, and Lucien poured two glasses of som
Chasing The Wife He Discarded Ch: 44 The Longest Look.
Nerissa's POVThe board president was right in the middle of his speech when I noticed Lysander stop listening to Seraphina. He wasn't even looking at her anymore. He was looking right at Nicholas.I stiffened up immediately."Relax," Lucien whispered, putting a gentle hand on my back as he guided me toward the head table."I am relaxed.""Your face says otherwise."I took a breath and unhitched my jaw.Beside me, Nicole tugged my dress and pointed at the melting ice sculpture on the side table. A waiter was trying to clean up a giant puddle with a tiny cloth. "That's stupid," she said. "He needs a bigger towel.""Don't be rude," I murmured, but my eyes drifted right back across the room.Lysander was frozen. He stared at Nicholas like he couldn't believe what he was seeing.I pulled Nicholas closer, resting my hand on his shoulder. "Come here, sweetie.""Mom, who is that guy?" Nicholas asked, looking back over at him. "Why does he keep staring at me?""Nobody you need to
Chasing The Wife He Discarded Ch: 43 All The Secret I Know.
Lysander's POVMy tie was choking me. I had put it on this morning the exact same way I always did, but somewhere on the drive to the Hendricks gala, it decided to strangle me. I kept trying to loosen it without Seraphina noticing. It wasn't working."Stop touching it," Seraphina whispered. Her hand gripped my arm hard. "You look nervous.""I'm not nervous.""You've fixed your tie eight times." She flashed a huge, fake smile at someone passing by. "Relax. We're just here to be seen."Right. Just here to be seen. As if I didn't have a folder from Dr. Anh stuffed inside my jacket pocket, holding proof of attempted murder. It pressed against my ribs, making it hard to breathe.The ballroom was exactly what you’d expect. Too much crystal, too much gold. Near the entrance, a giant ice sculpture slowly melted, leaving dark puddles on the shiny marble floor. A waiter kept rushing over to wipe it up before anyone important noticed the mess.People kept coming up to talk to me about bu
