Andre's POV

Flashback: Month 2

The gala was everything I hated. Too many people. Too much fake laughter. And my father at the center of it all, holding the court like some aging king.

Waiters moved between groups of men in suits and women dressed to show off. I stood near the back. It was another one of my father's galas. Business mixed with charity, mixed with performance.

"Andre, come," my father called from across the room. His voice went across the room without effort.

I joined him, fixing my collar and pasting on the smile I wore when I needed to survive an evening like this. Standing beside him was Mr. Thomas Greer, chairman of a tech conglomerate and one of my father's oldest friends.

"Mr Greer," I said, shaking his hand. "Always a pleasure."

“Still not running your father's empire, I see," he said with a small laugh. He then clapped me on the shoulder And turned to my father. "When will this young man take over your company, Richard?"

My father didn't even look at me. "W

  • Did I Steal My Fiancé’s Ex Identity   Chapter 38

    Andre's POV (Present Day)It didn’t even feel real.I kept staring at the closet. The empty shelves. The clean floor.She was really gone.I pulled out my phone and called her.No answer.Each time, the phone rang until her voicemail picked up. I didn't leave a message. What would I even say? I texted. Please talk to me. Nothing. I typed another message.Lisa, please pick up. I just want to talk.Sent.I sat on the edge of Lisa’s empty bed till midnight, holding the wrinkled note in my hand. The one with her silly dreams. The things she wanted to do again.Where are you? At least let me know you’re safe. I texted.I waited a few seconds and hit send again.Still nothing.I dropped the phone on the bed and stood. My chest felt heavy. I couldn’t stay here. I needed to move. To do something. Find her.I stormed out of the room and headed down the stairs. My steps were quick and angry. I didn’t know which feeling was stronger.Diane sat in the living room like she was hosting a te

    Andre’s POV Present DayI sat in the dining room, checking the time for the third time.The clock on the wall was ticking so loudly. I’d already finished my coffee, and my car keys were on the table.The car was ready. My briefcase sat by the door. I checked my watch again. She was never late to see me off. Lisa was usually down by now.Ever since we had started… whatever this thing between us was, she always came down to see me off. Even when we weren’t speaking much, she was still there. But this morning, nothing.I pulled out my phone and sent her a message.Where are you?I stared at the screen, waiting for the typing bubble to appear. Nothing.Stanley appeared in the hallway. "Sir, the driver is waiting." I nodded. "Give me one more minute." I typed again. Lisa? Then deleted it.Maybe she was still angry. I wouldn’t blame her. I didn’t handle things well yesterday.That stupid fall.I rubbed my forehead and leaned back. I never even asked Lisa if she really pushed her. I

    Lisa's POVPresent DayDr Camille didn't pick up at first.I sat on the edge of the hotel bed, hugging a pillow to my chest and my phone to my ear.The room was small and smelled like disinfectant. The curtains were half open, and it was still raining.I wondered why there was a lot of rain these days.Maybe that was just the state of my heart… the skies were weeping on my behalf.My suitcase was by the wall, untouched. I wiped at my cheeks with my sleeve. I hadn’t realized I’d been crying. I felt so alone out here, all by myself.I didn’t know what I was doing.I scrolled through my contacts. No one else to call. There were only a few people on that phone. One of them was Stanley. I stared at Dr Camille's number again.I hesitated; my thumb was hovering over the call button. It was late. Way past working hours. The clock on the nightstand read 11:37 PM. Too late to call. But she was the only person I could call. I tried calling her again. I needed to hear a familiar voice.I pressed

    Lisa's POV Present DayI zipped the suitcase slowly. The sound felt loud in the quiet room.It was raining outside. Heavy drops against the windows. But I didn’t careDiane’s little act had pushed me over the edge: the fall, the fake tears, the blame.And Andre…He chose to believe her.Not even a single question. I didn’t want to cry anymore. I didn’t even want to feel. I just wanted to leave.Andre was probably still with Diane, making sure she was "comfortable" after her little performance. I didn’t make a sound as I folded my clothes, tucked my sketchbooks between layers of fabric. My hands didn’t shake. That surprised me. I folded one last shirt and shoved it in the suitcase. I didn’t need much. Just enough to get away for a while. Maybe forever.I pulled the engagement ring from my finger. The metal felt colder than it ever had.I set it gently on the nightstand.He could have it back.He could have all of it back.A man who truly loved me wouldn’t treat me the way he was do

  • Did I Steal My Fiancé’s Ex Identity   Chapter 34

    Lisa's POVPresent DaySaturday used to be our day.It used to be our time together. Since we started getting incredibly close, after we had made love for the first time, Andre always made sure he didn't work on Saturdays, so we could spend time together.We had similar preferences. We weren't the outdoorsy kind, so we liked staying at home.Andre and I would curl up on the couch, wrapped in blankets, watching whatever movie was on. His arm around me, my head on his chest. Just us. We'll be watching something funny on the TV, we barely paid attention to because we were always talking instead.But that was before Diane came. Now, I hardly saw him at all, so I went about my Saturdays alone. This Saturday was no different. I came down the stairs, hoping maybe today would be like before. Maybe today, he would remember me. These days, I come downstairs and the whole house feels like someone else moved in and took over everything I loved. I knew Andre would be getting ready for work

  • Did I Steal My Fiancé’s Ex Identity   Chapter 33

    Andre POV(Present Day)The screaming woke me up.It was almost 3 a.m. I sat up, my heart pounding.It was Diane's voice.I threw the covers off and rushed to her room. Stanley was also standing by her door, still fully dressed in his butler uniform as though he hadn't slept.I threw the door open.She was crying. Another nightmare. She had been having constant nightmares these days, and it only kept getting worse.She was sitting on the bed, gasping, drenched in sweat. Her blanket had been thrown off, and she looked around like she wasn’t sure where she was.“Diane,” I said softly, stepping inside.Her head snapped toward me. She looked terrified.“It’s okay,” I said, walking slowly, like I was a frightened animal. “It’s just me. You’re safe.”I crossed the room and knelt beside her. Her hands were fists in her hair. Her breath came too fast. “Diane.” I kept my voice low. “You’re safe.”She covered her mouth with one hand, the other gripping her sheets tightly.She didn’t stop sh
