HIS PLUS SIZE BAD GIRL 113
Chapter 113 Layla’s POV “You've eaten half a piece of toast in three days, and that's not an exaggeration,” Audrey said, setting a bowl of soup in front of me on her small kitchen table. I'd been staying in her spare room for eleven days. I woke every morning and checked my phone for a message from my mother, and every morning there wasn't one, so I put it face down and went to work somewhere else, because I'd started going to Calloway and Reed for interviews. Mateo had sent me one line the first night, saying he hoped I was safe, and I hadn't answered it. I'd typed a reply four times and deleted it every time, because anything I wrote would have been a way back to him, and I wasn't ready to find out whether I'd take it. “Loving him doesn't cancel what you did to her,” Audrey said, sitting opposite me. “You know that.” “I know.” “So stop punishing yourself in this kitchen and eat the soup.” “I'm not punishing myself.” “You're sitting there like a woman waiting for a verdict

Chapter 112 Sandra’s POV “I want to start the divorce, today if that's possible,” I said, and my voice came out steadier than I expected. Ms. Brandt didn't look surprised. She sat across from me in an office on the fourth floor with a legal pad in front of her and a box of tissues that she'd pushed halfway across the desk without saying a word. I'd spent two nights in a hotel near the river with a suitcase I packed in eleven minutes, and I hadn't slept in either of them. I'd walked out of the house on Wednesday morning without looking at the stairs, because Layla was up there packing and I knew that if I saw her I would stay. “Can I ask what happened, Mrs. Reyes?” “My husband has been involved with my daughter.” She put her pen down. “Before the wedding and after it,” I said. “He told me himself, and he didn't try to make it sound like anything else.” “I'm very sorry.” “I keep waiting to feel angry enough to be sure,” I said. “But I just feel tired, and I still love him a

Chapter 111 Layla’s POV “Mom, please, just let me say it once, and then you can shout at me for as long as you want,” I said, and my voice cracked so badly that the last word barely came out. She didn't look at me. She was looking at Mateo, who stood by the bed with his hands open at his sides, and her mouth kept moving around words she couldn't seem to start. “Get out,” she said to him. “Sandra, I” “Get out of this room, I don't want you standing there while she talks.” He looked at me once, and I gave him the smallest nod, and he went into the corridor and pulled the door almost shut behind him. Sandra turned to the window and wrapped both arms around her ribs. “I bought you a scarf,” she said. “I know, Mom.” “I stood in that shop in Lisbon for twenty minutes picking the right green, because I wanted it to match your eyes, and you wore it to breakfast every morning and let me tell you how good it looked on you.” She laughed, one short breath with nothing in i

Chapter 110 Sandra’s POV “No,” I said aloud to the empty kitchen, “no, that is not possible,” and I held the phone closer to my face as though the picture might change if I looked at it from nearer. It did not change. The photograph had been taken from high in a corner, looking down into a large room that I knew, with the oak table in the middle of it and the grey light of a morning coming through the blinds. A woman sat on the edge of the table in a loose grey jumper with her legs around the waist of a man who stood between her knees, and his hands were at her hips, and her arms were around his neck. Her face was turned toward the camera with her eyes closed and her lips parted. I enlarged it with two fingers, and the face grew until it filled the screen, and I made myself look at it for a long time. It was Layla. I looked at the small mole beside her left eyebrow that I had kissed every night when she was a child, and at the green scarf that lay on the table beside her, whi

Chapter 109 Layla’s POV “I lost that two weeks ago, Mom, and I have been looking for it everywhere, so thank you for finding it,” I said, holding out my palm for the earring. She did not give it to me. She stood in my bedroom doorway in her cream dressing gown with the small gold circle resting in her closed hand, and she looked at me for a long moment before she opened her fingers and looked at it again. It was ten minutes after she had said goodnight to me in the corridor. I had barely turned off the lamp when she knocked a second time, and I had opened the door with my heart already pounding. “Where did you lose it?” she asked. “I am not certain.” “I found it on the carpet beside the bed in Mateo’s room.” “Then it must have come off when I took the Singapore folder in there.” “When was that?” “Two Fridays ago, I think. He had left it downstairs, and he asked me to put it on his dresser.” “Mateo has a study with a desk in it, Layla.” “He said that he wanted it in his r

Chapter 108 Sandra’s POV “Layla, sweetheart, you have moved that rice around your plate for ten minutes without eating a single grain, so please tell me what is wrong,” I said, setting down my fork and looking across the table at my daughter. She lifted her eyes from the plate and gave me the quick, careful smile that she had been giving me for nine days. “I am only tired, Mom.” “You were tired last week as well.” “It has been a long week.” It was Tuesday evening, and the cook had laid four places at the long table, and one of them was empty. Mateo had telephoned at six to say that the board had run over, which was the third time since Sunday that he had missed dinner, and the plate at the head of the table would be cleared untouched, the way the other two had been. Wyatt sat on my left. He had come home on Monday after three days away, thinner than when he left, with a shadow along his jaw and the look of a boy who has been awake for a week, and when I asked him where he ha
