Divorced After One Night: The Plus-Size Ex-Wife’s Revenge Chapter 118: Same Room
The dress I'd chosen hung in the hotel closet for two days before I finally put it on, deep green, simple, nothing that would draw attention in a room full of people who'd spent small fortunes trying to look effortless.Rowan stood in front of the mirror in his small suit, turning this way and that, admiring his bowtie with the serious concentration of someone inspecting fine art."Do I look fancy," he asked."You look very fancy," I said, kneeling to straighten it for the third time. "The fanciest person in the whole hotel.""Fancier than Dada?""Significantly fancier than Daxton," Daxton called from the bathroom, adjusting his own tie, and Rowan beamed with the particular pride of a five-year-old who had just won an argument he didn't know he was having.The car arrived a little after six, and I spent the ride trying to settle the low hum of nerves sitting under my ribs, telling myself, over and over, that this was simply a professional obligation, that the odds of actually encounte
Divorced After One Night: The Plus-Size Ex-Wife’s Revenge Chapter 117: The Gala Invitation
The invitation arrived through my contact at Hartwell, tucked into an email about an unrelated contract detail, almost an afterthought.*Also.....the Whitmore Children's Fund Gala is this Saturday. Several of our major clients will be there, and it would be a good opportunity for you to be seen while you're in the city. We've reserved a table and would love for you to join, plus one, or more if you'd like to bring family.*I read it twice at my desk in the hotel suite, something cold moving through me before I'd even fully processed why.The Whitmore Gala. I knew that name. I'd known it for years, long before I ever left this city, back when it was simply one of a dozen charity events the Cranes attended every season, the kind of thing Jason used to mention in passing the way other people mentioned dentist appointments, obligatory and unremarkable.I sat with the email a long time, my coffee going cold beside me.Five years was a long time. I told myself the guest list had probably ch
Divorced After One Night: The Plus-Size Ex-Wife’s Revenge Chapter 116: Daxton's First Meeting
The conference room was on the thirty-second floor of a building Daxton hadn't been inside until that morning, glass-walled, a view that made the whole city look manageable, orderly, nothing like the tangled, breathing thing it actually was.He arrived ten minutes early, the way he always did, laptop bag over one shoulder, a folder of notes he'd reviewed on the flight still fresh in his mind. This was his deal, his company's expansion, a logistics and infrastructure partnership that had nothing to do with Serenity's contract work a few blocks over. Different building. Different firm entirely.He stood by the window for a moment before anyone else arrived, looking out over the skyline, and let himself feel, briefly, the particular satisfaction of having built something real enough to need a room like this. Many years ago he'd been running meetings out of a shared desk at a co-working space, splitting a single printer with a dozen other struggling founders. Now he was standing thirty-tw
Divorced After One Night: The Plus-Size Ex-Wife’s Revenge Chapter 115: The Flight to New York
The plane landed a little after two in the afternoon. I felt the wheels hit the ground with a jolt that went straight through my chest.Rowan had been glued to the window during the entire descent, excitedly talking about everything he could see. It was the kind of nonstop commentary only a five-year-old could keep up.“Look how small the cars are! Look, Mommy! They look like toys.”"“I see them,” I said, looking at the skyline below us. The sight was familiar, but even after five years, it still made my stomach tighten.Daxton reached over and gently squeezed my knee.“You okay?” he asked quietly."I'm okay," I said, and meant it, mostly.We made it through the terminal without any problems. Rowan was full of excitement, amazed by the huge crowds, the noise, and how big everything was. This was the same city that had once swallowed me whole, but now, through my son’s eyes, it seemed like nothing more than a place filled with wonder.The car Daxton’s company had arranged was waiting f
Divorced After One Night: The Plus-Size Ex-Wife’s Revenge Chapter 114: What She Asked Aldric To Do
The phone rang twice before he answered."Mrs. Crane." Aldric Voss's voice carried its usual careful neutrality, a man who had built an entire career on never sounding surprised by anything a client asked of him."You said something more direct was possible," Cordelia said, skipping past any greeting of her own. "I want to understand exactly what that means before I decide anything."“It could mean several things,” Aldric said. “For now, it simply means keeping a close eye on her while she’s in the city.....knowing where she goes, who she meets, and how long she stays. It could also mean secretly arranging for her to meet someone, whether she knows about it or not.”“I don’t want any contact,” Cordelia said. “Not yet. I want information first. I need to know what she’s doing in my city, who she’s working with, and whether there’s any chance she could end up near my family, even if neither of us intends for that to happen.”"I can have someone on her within the day," Aldric said. "I al
Divorced After One Night: The Plus-Size Ex-Wife’s Revenge Chapter 113: The Decision
Cordelia read the email a third time before she set the phone down.Your daughter-in-law's sister has been confirmed on a flight into New York next week. The sentence sat there on the screen with the particular, clinical weight of something that had been inevitable for a long time and had simply, finally, arrived.She stood and crossed to the locked drawer in her study, the one she hadn't opened in months, and sat there with her hand resting on the brass pull for a long moment before she actually turned the small key.The photograph was exactly where she'd left it. A woman crossing a street with a small boy on her hip, both of them laughing at something outside the frame. The boy had grown, she knew, in the years since this picture was taken. He would be six now, not the toddler captured here, his face no doubt sharpened into something even more unmistakably familiar.She sat with the photograph in her lap and allowed herself, for the first time in five years, to actually think throug
Divorced After One Night: The Plus-Size Ex-Wife’s Revenge Chapter Four: Our One Night
I spent most of my wedding pretending I wasn't terrified.The fake smile on my face must have been convincing enough because nobody questioned it,guests toasted us, cameras flashed, and champagne flowed like water.Everyone kept gushing about what a perfect couple we made. I just smiled, nodded, an
Divorced After One Night: The Plus-Size Ex-Wife’s Revenge Chapter Three :The bride he never wanted
Three months earlier."Congratulations, Serenity, you're getting married."The fork slipped from my fingers, clattering loudly against my plate,the dining room fell dead silent while I stared across the table at my father. "Excuse me?"Dad didn't even look up,he just calmly dabbed his mouth with a
Divorced After One Night: The Plus-Size Ex-Wife’s Revenge Chapter Two: Thrown Away
I don't even remember how I got out of Jason’s office.One minute I was looking at the man I loved handing me divorce papers the next, I was trapped inside the elevator, staring at my reflection in the mirrored walls.The woman looking back at me was a stranger,her lipstick was smeared,her eyes wer
Divorced After One Night: The Plus-Size Ex-Wife’s Revenge Chapter Five: The Woman In The photography
I didn't sleep that night, or the night after.Every time I closed my eyes, the photographs burned into my eyelids.The dark hotel room,the man with the blurred face,my body and features,the total ruin of the only night that had ever felt real to me.I sat on the edge of the sagging mattress in a c
