Divorced After One Night: The Plus-Size Ex-Wife’s Revenge Chapter 142: Sloane Considers Warning Her
Sloane found the papers by accident, the way most of the worst things in her marriage seemed to find her lately.She'd gone into Jason's study looking for a charger, nothing more sinister than that, and the folder was sitting open on his desk, left out in a way that told her he hadn't expected anyone to come looking. *Acknowledgment of Paternity* across the top, his name typed neatly into a field that hadn't been signed yet.She stood there a long moment just looking at it.She knew, in the abstract, that something like this was coming. Cordelia had told her the test results were confirmed days ago, relayed flatly, almost as an afterthought, the same way she relayed most things she'd already decided Sloane needed to know. Jason himself had said nothing to her about it at all, not one word, and that silence had its own particular weight, telling her exactly how little he still trusted her with the truth, however much he seemed to be working his way toward forgiving her for everything
Divorced After One Night: The Plus-Size Ex-Wife’s Revenge Chapter 141: Cordelia's Next Move
Aldric called on a Tuesday evening, his voice carrying none of its usual careful patience.“The lab,” he said. “The one that handled a private paternity test a few weeks ago. Someone I know works there and alerted me when they recognized the name on the test.”Cordelia set down her tea. “Whose name?”“Jason’s. He used a private account he’d set up himself, separate from the company, he thought he’d covered his tracks, but he wasn’t as careful as he believed.”“And the result?”"Confirmed," Aldric said. "Ninety-nine point ninety-nine percent. He's known for several days now."Cordelia sat with that a long moment, the lamp on her desk casting its usual warm light over a room that suddenly felt smaller than it had an hour ago."He told no one," she said. It wasn't a question.“From what I’ve gathered, he told the mother privately. There’s no official report, and he hasn’t hired a lawyer to handle it, at least not one I could find."“He’s keeping the result to himself,” Cordelia murmured.
Divorced After One Night: The Plus-Size Ex-Wife’s Revenge Chapter 140: What the Law Actually Says
Marcus came to the hotel in person this time instead of calling. He carried a thin folder and placed it carefully on the table. Before he even spoke, I could tell this conversation would be different from our previous phone call."I looked into more than just whether the test results could be used in court," he said, sitting across from us. "I wanted to find out whether what Jason did was simply a bad decision or something the law actually considers illegal.""And?" Daxton asked."This state has a genetic privacy law," Marcus explained. "Most people have never heard of it because it rarely comes up outside insurance disputes or research cases. The law makes it a criminal offense to collect and test someone's DNA without their knowledge or consent. It doesn't matter if the person collecting it suspects they're the father. The law doesn't make exceptions based on how the sample was collected, even if it was something as simple as a discarded straw."I took a moment to process his words.
Divorced After One Night: The Plus-Size Ex-Wife’s Revenge Chapter 139: What Rowan Already Sensed
He noticed before either of us said anything to him. Kids always seemed to notice the very things adults tried hardest to hide.It was dinner, and we had ordered room service because none of us had the energy to go out. Rowan sat at the little table, pushing his pasta around without eating much. He kept watching Daxton and me with an unusual level of attention, the kind he usually reserved for things that interested him more than anything else, like dinosaurs."Are you guys mad at each other?" he asked."No, buddy," Daxton said too quickly, the way adults often answered when the real answer was complicated. "Why would you think that?""You keep doing the quiet thing," Rowan said. "Where you talk with your eyes instead of your mouths."I looked at Daxton, and we exchanged a glance, exactly the kind of silent communication Rowan had just described. That certainly didn't help our case."We're not mad at each other," I said carefully. "Grown-ups just have boring things to think about some
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
Divorced After One Night: The Plus-Size Ex-Wife’s Revenge Chapter 137: What He Finally Said
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
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 One: Divorced after one night
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

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
