Divorced After One Night: The Plus-Size Ex-Wife’s Revenge Chapter 138: Daxton's Reaction
I told him the second I walked through the door, before I'd even taken my coat off, because some things didn't deserve to wait while I found the gentle way to say them."Jason tested him," I said. "Already.....weeks ago, a straw from the science center. He already has the results."Daxton was sitting at the small table with his laptop open, and he went completely still, his hands frozen above the keyboard."Say that again.""He had a sample from before the letter. Before any of this. He sent it to a lab without telling anyone, and he got the results yesterday, and he just told me himself, at a coffee shop, twenty minutes ago."Daxton closed the laptop slowly, like he needed the motion to give himself a second to catch up."He told you that to your face.""Yes.""After he promised, through me, that he wouldn't pursue this.""He said he didn't pursue a new one," I said. "He said the sample already existed before the refusal. He's calling it a technicality.""It's not a technicality," Da

He called the next morning instead of texting, because some things, he'd decided somewhere around three in the morning, didn't deserve to be typed out and sent off like an ordinary message.She picked up on the third ring."Jason.""I need to see you," he said. "In person. Not Daxton, not through Marcus, not through a letter. Just you, for ten minutes, somewhere public if that makes you feel safer."There was a pause long enough that he thought she might just hang up."This isn't about Rowan showing up somewhere again, is it," she said finally, careful."No," he said. "It's about something I did. Something I need to tell you myself, before you hear it any other way.""That sounds ominous.""It is," he admitted. "I'm not going to pretend otherwise."She agreed to meet him at a coffee shop two blocks from her hotel, neutral ground, the kind of place with enough people around that neither of them could make a scene even if they wanted to. He got there first and sat near the window, his h
Divorced After One Night: The Plus-Size Ex-Wife’s Revenge Chapter 136: The Envelope That Came Back
The email arrived on a Thursday afternoon while Jason was in the middle of a call about freight schedules, a subject line that didn't look like anything at all. *Your Results Are Ready.*He hung up on Garrett mid-sentence. He didn't remember doing it until later, just the sudden quiet of the room once the call ended, his own heartbeat loud enough to fill the space where the conversation had been.He sat still for a while before opening it. His thumb hovered over the screen, just as it had weeks ago when he sent a child's used straw to a stranger for testing because he hadn't had the courage to ask for the truth honestly.He clicked it open.The page loaded slow, a secure portal, a login he'd set up under a name that wasn't his own, careful, deniable, exactly the kind of precaution a man takes when he already knows, somewhere underneath all the careful language, that he's doing something he'd be ashamed to have anyone see him doing.Probability of Paternity: 99.99%He read the number t
Divorced After One Night: The Plus-Size Ex-Wife’s Revenge Chapter 135: What She Decided
I didn't sleep much that night, the letter sitting on the nightstand the whole time like it had weight, like it was actually pressing down on the room instead of just taking up a few square inches of space.I thought about calling Dana, the way I used to when I couldn't sort something out alone, and decided against it. This wasn't a question Dana could answer for me. This was mine to sit with.I got up a little after six, while Daxton and Rowan were both still asleep, and made coffee I didn't really want, just to have something to do with my hands.I thought about my father too, though the letter hadn't mentioned him at all. I wondered if he knew she'd written it. I wondered if he even cared that Rowan existed, or if five years of silence from him meant exactly what it had always meant, that his daughter's life only mattered to him when it threatened something he was trying to protect.I thought about the conversation in his office, the folder he'd slid across the desk instead of aski
Divorced After One Night: The Plus-Size Ex-Wife’s Revenge Chapter 134: A Letter From Her Mother
The hotel concierge called up to the room a little before ten, apologetic, saying there was something at the front desk addressed to Ms. Grayson, left by hand rather than mailed, no return address.I went down myself instead of asking him to send it up. Something about the way he'd said *left by hand* made me want to see it before Daxton or Rowan did.It was a plain envelope, my name written across the front in handwriting I hadn't seen in five years but still recognized instantly, the particular, looping slant of it burned into me from a lifetime of birthday cards and permission slips signed in that exact hand.My mother.I carried it up to the room without opening it, my heart doing something complicated the whole way, and sat down at the small table by the window, turning it over twice before I actually broke the seal.Inside was a single page, folded once.*Serenity,**I heard you were in the city. I wasn't going to write, but I've started this letter three times now and thrown it
Divorced After One Night: The Plus-Size Ex-Wife’s Revenge Chapter 133: What He Didn't Say
Marcus's letter arrived on a Tuesday, delivered to the Crane Global offices in a plain envelope that Jason's assistant brought in without comment, the way she brought in everything these days, careful not to ask questions about whatever had been making her boss so distracted.He read it twice at his desk. Formal, clean, exactly the kind of language lawyers used when they wanted to be unmistakably clear without sounding like a threat. *Any future contact with Rowan should be arranged through his parents directly. This is not a legal demand, simply a request that we hope you'll respect given the circumstances.*He sat with it a long moment, the paper flat on his desk, and did something he hadn't let himself do in days.He called her.He used the number Daxton had given him weeks ago for business matters, not expecting her to pick up at all, and was surprised when she did, her voice careful, like she already suspected who it might be before he said a word."Jason.""I got the letter," he
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
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
