Divorced After One Night: The Plus-Size Ex-Wife’s Revenge Chapter Sixty-Two: A Bump She Can't Hide
I noticed the whispers before I noticed anything else, the way you always notice whispers before you understand what they're actually about.It happened at the diner, mid-shift, two women in a booth near the window glancing my way more than once as I refilled their coffee, their conversation dropping to something quieter the moment I got close enough to overhear it.I told myself it was nothing. People whispered about all sorts of things in a diner booth, it didn't have to be about me.It happened again the next day, at the co-working space this time, a woman I didn't recognize glancing at my stomach and then quickly looked away, the particular, practiced non-reaction of someone who'd noticed something and decided, deliberately, not to comment on it.I was seven months pregnant now, and my stomach had become too obvious to hide, even when I wore loose clothes. As I walked home that evening, I realized I couldn't keep hiding it anymore, people were starting to notice, and as my pregnan
Divorced After One Night: The Plus-Size Ex-Wife’s Revenge Chapter Sixty-One: The Wedding (Sloane's)
The morning of the wedding, Sloane sat in front of the mirror while three people worked on her at once, one on her hair, one on her makeup, one steaming the hem of a gown that had already been steamed twice.She looked at herself in the mirror as she slowly got ready. But strangely, she felt disconnected from it all, almost as if she were watching someone else getting dressed instead of herself."Almost done," the makeup artist murmured, adding a final touch of color to her lips. "You're going to be stunning.""Thank you," Sloane said, the words automatic now, the same way most of her words had become automatic these past weeks.Her mother appeared in the doorway a little after eleven, already dressed, already composed, and stood there for a moment just looking at her daughter in the mirror."You look beautiful," she said."Thank you, Mom.""Your father's already at the venue. Cordelia wants everyone in place forty-five minutes before the ceremony starts, not a minute later." She hesi
Divorced After One Night: The Plus-Size Ex-Wife’s Revenge Chapter Sixty: Jason's Numbness
The engagement dinner ended a little after eleven, the last guests trickling out through the ballroom doors with warm goodbyes and promises to see each other soon, and Jason found himself in the back of the car beside Sloane, watching the city slide past the window in silence."That went well," Sloane said, unclasping one earring, then the other, dropping them into a small pouch she kept in her purse for exactly this purpose. "Your mother seemed pleased.""She did," Jason agreed."The Whitfields asked about the venue. I gave them exactly what we discussed, nothing more.""Good."Sloane glanced over at him, something searching in her expression that he caught out of the corner of his eye and chose not to meet directly."You were quiet tonight," she said."Long day," he said. "Board meeting ran late this afternoon."She let it go, the way she'd been letting things go for weeks now, and Jason was grateful for it, though the gratitude itself sat uneasily in his chest, one more small thing
Divorced After One Night: The Plus-Size Ex-Wife’s Revenge Chapter Fifty-Nine: Cordelia's Satisfaction
Cordelia walked the ballroom floor twice before the first guests arrived, checking every table setting against the diagram she'd approved weeks earlier, adjusting a single crooked centerpiece with two fingers before moving on.This was the engagement dinner, smaller than the wedding itself would be, but no less important in her mind, a curated gathering of exactly the right people, board members and their wives, a handful of press invited under careful restriction, enough visibility to plant the story firmly in the public's mind without inviting the kind of chaos a larger event might have risked.She had planned every part of the wedding herself.....the flowers, the food, and even the seating, she made sure Sloane sat beside the Whitfield family because Jason had been trying to win their business for months, it was her quiet way of showing that this marriage was good for both their family and their business.It was, by every measure that mattered to Cordelia, a triumph in the making.
Divorced After One Night: The Plus-Size Ex-Wife’s Revenge Chapter Fifty-Eight: Meanwhile — Sloane's Wedding Planning
The photographer wanted one more shot, the one with Sloane laughing over her shoulder at the wall of white peonies behind her, and she gave it to him easily, the laugh arriving right on cue, practiced enough now that she barely had to think about producing it. "Beautiful," the photographer said, checking the screen on his camera. "That's the one for the magazine cover, I think." Sloane smiled and thanked him, and the moment the shutter stopped clicking, the smile dropped away from her face like something she'd simply set down, unnecessary now that no lens was pointed at her. The florist's studio smelled overwhelming, sweet and heavy, dozens of arrangements crowding every surface as the final decisions got made for the ceremony, weeks away now, close enough that every meeting felt urgent in a way that exhausted her more than she let anyone see. "The peonies or the garden roses for the centerpieces," the florist asked, holding up two samples for her to choose between, and Sloane
Divorced After One Night: The Plus-Size Ex-Wife’s Revenge Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Question He Doesn't Ask
He drove me home instead of calling a car, which had become something of a habit between us over the past month, the easy comfort of it settling into place without either of us really deciding it should. We didn't talk much on the ride, the quiet between us comfortable rather than strained, streetlights sliding past the windows in steady rhythm. I kept thinking about Gordon's face at the party, that half-second of dawning recognition before Daxton had smoothly redirected the entire conversation, and beneath the lingering fear sat something else now, something I hadn't fully let myself examine yet. He pulled up outside the laundromat, the building dark except for the dim glow of the machines still running inside, and put the car in park instead of just letting me out at the curb the way he sometimes did when he was in a hurry. "You don't have to answer this," he said, turning slightly in his seat to face me, "but I keep thinking about something, and I want to just say it once, a

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

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

Twenty-four hours. That was how long I lasted as Mrs. Crane, I stared at the papers on Jason’s desk. I kept waiting for the words to scramble into a joke, but they just sat there, heavy and permanent.DIVORCE AGREEMENT.My throat went completely dry just a few hours ago. I'd woken up in his bed w
