(Sabrina’s POV)

I nodded.

Felix’s hand went up to his own mouth. He stared at me. He looked back over his shoulder at Adrian—who was still in the hallway, presumably weeping into the wallpaper—and then back at me, and then he made a sound that was half a whoop and half a sob.

He turned and bolted.

I heard him going down the hall yelling.

“YOU GUYS. YOU GUYS. EVERYBODY GET UP. EVERYBODY GET UP—”

Doors started opening. Footsteps on the wooden stairs. Charlie’s voice, alarmed—”Felix, what—Felix, w

  • Divorce Suits Me Better   CHAPTER 15 Goodbye

    (Sabrina’s POV)I picked up my coffee. It had gone cold but I drank it anyway.I couldn’t tell my brothers. Not this. It was too embarrassing—not the text itself but the fact that it worked, that after everything, Nate could still reach me through the one person I genuinely loved in that house.I was ashamed that part of me still missed the old woman’s room, the Sunday readings, the vase I used to fill every morning. Ashamed that part of me still cared about a house I should have been glad to leave.Tyler came to find me in the library at eleven. I’d been reading the Holdings reports again, teaching myself the language of a world I was only starting to understandHe had three folders under one arm.“It’s ready,” he said simply.He laid the folders out on the low table out and looked up at me.“I made the divorce settlement myself. Forgive my immodesty, but my baby sister deserved the best lawyer in the country for her case. Your end of this is, frankly, perfect. I have never done a be

  • Divorce Suits Me Better   CHAPTER 14 The Video

    (Sabrina’s POV)Breakfast had started to feel like something I could count on.Charlie was at the stove with three pans going. Felix was on the floor cross-legged, feeding Luna tiny scraps of bacon. Tyler was at the table already dressed, reading something on his tablet with a pen behind his ear. Adrian had taken my blood pressure twelve minutes ago and told me it was perfect.I had told him to stop hovering. He had hovered anyway.Eric was in the next room on the phone. I could hear his voice through the wall. I didn’t know when the sound of him in the background had started making this house feel safe, but it did now.I was reaching for my third egg when Felix said, “You haven’t been on the internet, have you?”“Why?”“You haven’t, right? Tell me you haven’t. I want to be the one to tell you.”“I haven’t. Eric cut off my internet for this very reason.”“Excellent.” He sat down across from me and set the phone face-down on the table with great ceremony. “Sabrina. Sister. Light of my

  • Divorce Suits Me Better   CHAPTER 13 Spite

    (Nate’s POV)Alexis was in my study. She shouldn’t have been—I locked it when I left, or thought I did—but there she was, behind my desk with Reed’s folder open in both hands.She was holding the photographs.“Where did you get these?” I asked flatly.“They were on your desk, baby.” She didn’t look up. Her thumb pressed into the glossy print where Eric Atwood’s hand sat on my wife’s back. “She went to Eric. She actually went to him! I’d been thinking that mystery woman in the news looked like her, but it seemed absurd. Why the fuck would she do that? Why would HE?”I didn’t know what to say, so I just stood there, waiting for her to continue or leave.“I know what this is,” she continued. “I know what’s happening.”I shot up a brow.“It’s me, baby,” she said confidently.I stared at her. “What?”“It’s me,” she said again, gently. “She is not at that house because of you, Nate. She is at that house because of me. She found out somehow, didn’t she—about where they live, and she has sedu

    (Nate’s POV)Reed came into my study and stopped at the desk.I had been staring at the photograph of Eric Atwood’s hand on my wife’s elbow for the better part of an hour. I did not look up when Reed came in.“What.”“Sir. I have a location.”The pen I’d been holding stopped moving.“You—”“Three hours upstate. Hudson Valley. The Atwood family estate.” Reed set a printed page on the desk between us. He did not push it toward me.I stood up so fast my chair tipped backward into the bookcase, and I did not pick it up.“Get the car.”“Sir—”“Get the car, Reed.”“Mr. Cooper, may I respectfully suggest—”“Now.”He went.I was already in the hallway with my coat halfway on when Alexis came out of the morning room with a yoga mat under her arm.“Baby?” She stopped in the middle of the hall. “Baby, where are you going? You don’t have a meeting until ten—”“Out.”“Out where—”“Reed found her.”I should not have said the name.I knew I should not have said the name before I said it.My mouth sa

Charlie’s voice, alarmed—”Felix, what—Felix, who’s hurt—”Eric’s voice, lower, asking what was happening. Aunt Nancy coming out of her room with her cardigan buttoned wrong (I’d wanted her to stay with me here). Tyler appearing from his study fully dressed because Tyler was always already dressed at six in the morning.Within ninety seconds my whole family was in my bedroom doorway.I sat on the edge of the bed in my pajamas. Adrian had come back in with them, his eyes red, my hands knotted in my lap. Felix was vibrating in the middle of th

  • Divorce Suits Me Better   CHAPTER 10 I Knew

    (Sabrina’s POV)We had been at the manor for a week. Eric had moved us up from the Carlisle on Saturday morning because, he said, hotels were for people who didn’t have homes, and we had a home now.The knock came before sunrise.For a second I thought it was the cat (who I’d named Luna) at the door, doing the polite paw she sometimes did when she’d convinced herself it was breakfast.Then it came again—knuckles this time, very soft—and I knew it was a person.I opened the door in my pajamas and Adrian was standing in the hallway holding a small orange bottle.He had not slept. His shirt was buttoned wrong. He looked at me, opened his mouth, and his eyes filled.“Adrian—”“I knew.” The bottle stayed clamped in his fist. “I knew since the night we discharged you. You were asleep and I was taking care of you, and…I’m so sorry, Sabrina. I should have told you…”“Come inside, come on—”“I had no right to know first.” He let me pull him through the doorway, but barely. His feet were doing
