Divorce Suits Me Better CHAPTER 27 Afraid of Me
(Felix’s POV)Sabrina went still beside me and I knew before I turned my head.I didn’t need to see. I felt it in the way her arm locked against mine—every muscle going tight at once, her whole body bracing like a woman who’d just heard a sound in a dark house.I turned anyway.Alexis. Fifteen feet away, heels clicking across the lobby floor, phone in her left hand, handbag in her right, walking toward the lifts like she owned the building and was mildly annoyed that people were using it without permission.She hadn’t looked up. She was going to.I had about six seconds. I took one of them to look at my sister.Sabrina’s face had gone white. She was standing in the middle of a hospital lobby with the sound of her child’s heartbeat still ringing in her ears, and Alexis was about to walk straight into all of it.No.“Hide,” I said. I unhooked my arm from hers and I did not look back. “Stay low. Don’t move.”I was already walking.I cut across the atrium at an angle that put me between A
Divorce Suits Me Better CHAPTER 26 Waiting Room
(Sabrina’s POV)Adrian drove me to the hospital himself.He would not let Eric send a car, would not let Charlie come along in the front seat with a packed lunch and a blood pressure cuff he’d stolen from Adrian’s bag. He said it was a medical appointment, not a field trip, and he said it with the door already closing on Charlie’s face.“We need to talk about Alexis,” I said, before we’d cleared the driveway.Adrian’s hands adjusted on the wheel. “Sabrina—”“Tyler hasn’t called me back. I texted him yesterday and he read it and he hasn’t called me back, which means Eric told him not to, which means Eric is handling it, which means nobody is going to tell me anything!”“That sounds about right,” Adrian said mildly.“Adrian. She is faking a terminal illness. I have a witness. I have a doctor’s name. I have—”“You have a scan today.” He glanced at me sideways. “You have a baby in there who has been through smoke and stress and a month of chaos, and today we get to see them, and I am aski
Divorce Suits Me Better CHAPTER 25 The Report
(Sabrina’s POV)I told my brothers I had an errand.Eric looked at me skeptically across the table.“What kind of errand?”“The personal kind,” I said lightly. “I need an hour. Maybe two. I’ll be fine.”Charlie opened his mouth. Adrian opened his mouth. Felix actually stood up.“Sit down,” I said, pointing at Felix. “All of you. I am a grown woman. I am going to a café. I will text you when I get there and I will text you when I leave. That is the deal.”Eric looked at me for a long moment. Then he nodded once.“Take the driver,” he said.“Fine.”“And text Adrian when you arrive.”“I just said I would.”“And if anything feels wrong—”“Eric.”He raised both palms. I kissed his cheek on the way out and he pretended not to be worried about it, badly.The café was in a town I didn’t know, small and quiet, with wooden tables and a window seat that looked out on a street where nothing was happening.I arrived early, ordered tea, and sat down.My phone vibrated, and I picked it up instantly.
Divorce Suits Me Better CHAPTER 24 Someone New
(Sabrina’s POV)His name was Luca Ferrante, and my brothers greeted him like he had never left.Charlie came out of the kitchen wiping his hands and bellowed “FERRANTE!” across the porch so loudly that Luna bolted off my lap and disappeared under a chair.Felix vaulted the porch railing and tackled Luca around the middle before the man had both feet off the gravel.Even Eric—Eric, who shook hands with cabinet ministers—pulled him into a hug with one arm and clapped his back hard enough that I heard it from the hammock.“You took your time,” Eric told him.“Your directions were terrible,” Luca said dryly. “As usual.”Tyler smiled. Tyler almost never smiled. That was when I understood how far back this went.“Luca and Tyler roomed together at Columbia,” Adrian explained quietly, appearing beside me. “He’s been around since before I could drive.”“Is he—” I started.“Architect. Runs his own firm. Builds things that Tyler pretends not to be impressed by.” Adrian paused. “He’s good people,
Divorce Suits Me Better CHAPTER 23 Guests
(Sabrina’s POV)They drove me to the beach house the morning after the gala without telling me why.Eric’s way. When the world caught fire, Eric did not put it out. He moved you somewhere the fire couldn’t reach and let you sit until the smoke cleared on its own.The house was on the water. White clapboard, blue shutters, a porch that wrapped around three sides with hammocks strung between two posts at the far end.I lay in the hammock and watched the ocean and talked to whoever came close. Felix brought me a second coffee. Charlie asked if I wanted lunch. Adrian hovered near the screen door.Eric found me in the afternoon.He didn’t come up to the hammock. He sat down in the sand beneath it, cross-legged, and looked out at the water for a while. The wind was pulling at his collar and he didn’t fix it.“Sabrina.”“Yeah.”“Nate signed the divorce papers last night.”I stopped rocking.“Tyler received the filed copies this morning. It’s done. You are no longer his wife.”I stared at the
Divorce Suits Me Better CHAPTER 22 Good Riddance
(Nate’s POV)I still had the glass in my hand. I had walked out of the gala with it, past the coat check and through the doors and into the car, and I had not set it down.I wish I had never met you.She had looked up at me with her face wet and her hands shaking at her sides and she had meant it, every word, and I had stood there with a full glass and my mouth hanging open and I had not found a single thing to say back.The car turned onto the highway.Alexis did not speak. She did not ask what Sabrina had said to me or what I was feeling or what we were going to do about any of it.She sat beside me and just rested her head against my shoulder and slipped her hand into mine. Her fingers were warm. Her thumb moved across my knuckle in a slow circle.I let her do it.The woman I had been married to for three years had just told a room full of people that she wished I did not exist, and Alexis’s hand was the only warm thing left in the world.She shifted closer. Her cheek pressed again
