Dear Billionaire Ex-husband, I Moved On Chapter 43
KARENBy the time the last meeting ended, I felt like my brain had been running on pure caffeine and stubbornness alone.The digital clock mounted on the conference room wall read 2:47 p.m., and I stared at it for a second longer than necessary while the final group of executives gathered their laptops and papers. My fourth coffee of the day had gone cold nearly an hour ago, yet somehow I was still functioning, barely.Still, there was a strange kind of satisfaction sitting underneath the exhaustion.For the first time in weeks, I felt like myself again, focused and sharp.Ever since the mess with Lena exploded into something bigger than betrayal and crossed into corporate sabotage, every single day had felt like I was reacting instead of leading. I hated that feeling. I hated uncertainty. I hated not knowing where the next hit would come from.But today had been different.Today I had walked into the office prepared and ready for whatever was to come next.Every question had an answe

RICHARD.I had been sitting in the smaller meeting room downstairs for almost an hour, listening to people talk without actually hearing a word they said.The clients across the table were discussing projections, timelines, and market positioning with the kind of enthusiasm rich men usually had when numbers were involved. One of them kept tapping the end of his pen against the glass table while another droned on about long-term expansion opportunities in a voice so dry it could have put an insomniac to sleep.Normally, I would have been leading the discussion. Normally, I would have been sharp enough to interrupt at exactly the right moments and convincing enough to make everyone leave the room feeling like they had made the best decision of their lives by trusting Palmer Group.Today, I barely knew what anyone was saying.My mind had been somewhere else since morning.On Karen. And on the threat hanging over her head like a storm cloud that refused to move.I stared at the presentati

LENAI sat in my car for ten full minutes without turning the engine on.The parking lot outside A.A. Biotech looked exactly the same as it had when I arrived earlier that afternoon, all cold concrete and polished glass under a dull Boston sky, but everything felt different now. The world had shifted slightly beneath my feet, subtle enough that nobody else would notice it, yet sharp enough for me to feel every inch of it.My hands rested loosely on the steering wheel while I replayed the meeting in my head for what had to be the fiftieth time.I went through it carefully, piece by piece.I thought about the moment Karen sat across from me, every sentence I had used, every pause, every look.I analyzed conversations the same way surgeons studied scans before cutting someone open. Details mattered. Tone mattered. Timing mattered. Most people never realized how much information they gave away in silence alone.And yet somehow, despite all my preparation, the meeting had still slipped out

LENAI recovered from the shock in less than two seconds, which honestly impressed even me. The warmth slipped right back onto my face so naturally that it almost felt automatic, like my body had learned years ago how to survive uncomfortable situations before my mind could fully catch up. One blink, one breath, and I was smiling again like nothing had happened.“I’m sorry?” I said softly, tilting my head with carefully measured confusion. “I don’t think I understand what you mean.”Karen didn’t answer.I kept my smile in place anyway.“I came here in good faith,” I continued. “I understand if you’re skeptical, Karen, I really do, but I genuinely didn’t come here to cause trouble.”Still nothing.That was the first moment the discomfort truly crept under my skin.I had prepared for anger before walking into this meeting room. I had expected accusations, bitterness, maybe even shouting. A woman with Karen’s history with Richard Palmer had every reason to react emotionally sitting acros

KAREN.I held the phone against my ear for three full seconds without saying a word.The silence on the other end stretched long enough for the receptionist to grow nervous. I could hear it in the slight shake of her breathing before she finally spoke again.“Ms. Andrews?” she asked carefully. “Should I… turn her away?”My fingers tightened slightly around the phone.Of all the scenarios I had prepared for during the last few weeks, this one had never crossed my mind. I had expected legal pressure, anonymous leaks, investors pulling out, maybe even another attempt to sabotage the clinical trials. But Lena Hartwell walking directly into A.A. Biotech herself in the middle of the afternoon like she owned the place?No.That had not been on the list.I finally found my voice.“No,” I said calmly. “Second floor meeting room. Offer her nothing. I’ll be down shortly.”“Yes, ma’am.”The line disconnected.I stayed where I was behind my desk, breathing slowly while the city skyline reflected a

KAREN.The full security report arrived in my inbox at exactly 8:17 on Friday morning, right when I was shoving files into my bag and mentally planning the experiments I still needed to supervise in the lab before noon. I had promised myself I would leave my office by nine sharp because the week had already been chaotic enough and I was tired of playing catch-up with everything.Instead, I opened the report.At first, I only intended to skim it quickly before heading downstairs, but the moment I saw the subject line from the cybersecurity firm, my stomach tightened hard enough to stop me cold.Final Trace Results.I remained standing behind my desk as I opened the attachment, one hand still gripping my coffee mug while my eyes moved quickly through the first page.Then more slowly.Then not at all.The mug nearly slipped from my fingers.I set it down carefully before I spilled it everywhere.My office suddenly felt too quiet. The faint hum from the air conditioner sounded louder than
