“Holy shit!”

“I know,” I replied, smiling as Rachel flipped through the file incredulously. She looked like she was going to pass out, which was exactly how I’d felt when I read through the file earlier. We were now sitting in the living room, testing the brand new couches while eating Chinese takeout.

The file contained a treasure trove of evidence that could bring down the entire Reynard family. I couldn’t even imagine what would happen if this ever got out. Marcus would be done for, and probably end up in prison.

“So what are you going to do with this?” Rachel asked. “Are you going to give it to the media?”

“Not yet,” I replied. “I mean I know how bad it would be for him, but I’m saving it until I actually need it. I know he’s not going to be happy when he finds out that I’m back, but if he tries anything stupid, I’m going to use this against him in court.”

“You sick bitch,” Rachel laughed. “I love the way your foul little mind words.”

  • Divorced My Cheating Husband & Fell For His Twin   Chapter Forty-Eight

    At first, I thought I must be dreaming. Surely I couldn’t be doing this right now. It felt like my soul had slipped out of my body, and I was watching as I leaned forward and kissed him. But when the sensation burned through me like a hot knife, there was no denying it anymore. His lips met mine softly, and it was obvious that I’d shocked him. He seemed uncertain, like he was testing something before he suddenly deepened the kiss. There was some unspoken but undeniable tension that lingered in the air as he pulled me towards him, placing me on his lap before he pushed my lips apart with his tongue. The kiss sent warmth spiraling through me, a slow unraveling of every doubt I’d ever had. I melted into him, my hands finding their way to the back of his neck, feeling the way his pulse raced beneath my fingertips. He didn’t rush at all. Instead he took his time, moving slowly and carefully, taking his time to explore every inch of my lips. He tasted like cherry, and I wrapped my arms ar

    ETHANI knew I was a gone man the moment I woke up with the goofiest smile on my face. I couldn't even brush my teeth properly, because the smile just refused to disappear. All I kept remembering was Olivia’s lips on mine, and the feel of my fingers grazing her bare skin. “Get it together, Ethan,” I whispered to my reflection. “You have an important meeting today.”Reluctantly, I finished getting ready quickly and headed for the office. I was already prepared for how stressful today was going to be, but the sooner we got this over with, the faster we could get things back on track.Alicia was there to greet me as soon as I walked into the building, and she was practically bouncing on her feet as she handed me my coffee. “Good morning, Mr Reynard,” she said. “Big day, huh?”“Indeed,” I replied. “What time is the board meeting?”“In an hour,” she replied. “Although Mr Jones arrived a short while ago. He’s already in Conference Room B, and he asked me to inform you that he’s around.”O

    “Remind me again how the kiss felt,” Rachel said. “Come on,” I laughed. “I’ve told you about it a thousand times already.”“I still want to hear it again,” she said. “Now spill.”We were seated at the cafe across from the office for lunch, and she was staring at me like a wide-eyed teenager who just wanted to talk about boys and love. “Rach, are you alright?” I asked cautiously.“What do you mean?”“I mean why do you seem so invested in this?” I explained. “Normally you would be the one to tell me that this is nothing to get hung up on, and it’s just a kiss. So how come you’re so surprised and you want to keep talking about it?”For a moment, it looked like she wasn’t going to say anything. She leaned back into her seat, eyes vacant as she stared off into the distance and twirled her finger around her the rim of her coffee cup. Finally, she turned to face me and said, “I’m lonely.”Hearing her say that in such a timid voice broke my heart into a million pieces. I reached out and too

    ETHANGrowing up, Marcus and I had a sort of sixth sense where we could always detect when the other person was in the building even without us seeing them. As soon as he walked into a building, I could somehow tell that he was around. And I would immediately turn in the direction he was about to walk in from. But that was a lifetime ago. Now, I didn't feel anything as I sat in the restaurant and waited for him to walk in. I was gently tapping my fingers on the table, planning what I was going to say in hopes that it would be enough to sway him. I'd gone through a thousand different possibilities of how this conversation could play out, and yet each time I wasn't so sure how well it would go. The door suddenly swung open, and I looked up to find Marcus striding towards me nonchalantly. He looked awful, it actually took me a few seconds before I realised it was him. His beard looked disheveled and unkempt, and there were dark circles under his eyes. He wore a large black hoodie, and

    Convincing Rachel to come with me was a huge task after the conversation we had earlier. But when I finally managed to convince her, she just wouldn’t stop asking so many questions about the guy she was going to meet. “Is he tall?” she asked as we sat in the back of our Uber. “I don’t know.”“I hope he’s tall. Is he handsome?”“I guess we’ll find out.”“Does he have nice teeth?” “I think so.”“I just hope he’s not a buff gym bro who’s only going to talk about his latest workouts. Please tell me he’s at least smart.”“Rach, I’m as clueless as you are,” I said. “I honestly don’t know anything apart from what Ethan told me. He said they’re going to meet us at the restaurant, and that his name is Blake. That’s all I know.”“Blake,” she whispered to herself, leaning back and smiling to herself. “Nice name. He sounds like a great guy who works on Wall Street.”“We’ll see about that,” I said, readjusting my hair. For some reason, I felt extremely nervous about seeing Ethan again. Maybe it

    I wouldn’t consider myself a daring person. I have never been one to do something so spontaneous and out of the ordinary. I’m not a rule breaker. But there was something so unbelievably hot about being in the bathroom with Ethan, with my arms around his shoulders and my legs wrapped around his waist as he kissed me like his life depended on it. It was so hot, and so breathtaking that all I wanted to do was melt into his arms. Ethan kissed me with so much passion that I felt it down in my gut, and in places I hadn’t felt anything in a long time. I felt it in the way his fingers moved through my hair, sending shivers of pleasure down my spine. I felt it in the way his tongue invaded my mouth, and the tingling sensation all over my lips as he kissed me. When we finally pulled apart, we were both gasping for air, and he was grinning like a kid in a candy store as he held me up against the wall and began to kiss my neck. “Ethan—” I gasped, unable to think properly as his hands firmly g

  • Divorced My Cheating Husband & Fell For His Twin   Chapter Fifty-Three

    When I was a little girl, my dad used to take me out for walks every Sunday evening around the block. He would place me on his shoulders and we would walk around as many times as he could manage, talking about my weekly tea parties and the latest episode of The Looney Tunes. It was our daily father-daughter ritual, and I always looked forward to it because it was the one time I got to be myself around him, and have his full, undivided attention on me. Yet that seemed like a lifetime ago, especially after the hell I’d been through. And it all started on a random Sunday morning when I got a message from the front desk that someone was here to see me. I thought it was Ethan, so I told him to come up. But when I opened the door and saw my father standing in front of me, I froze instantly. He hadn’t changed that much, but there were still a few signs that he was getting older. His temples were grayer than I remembered, and his eyes were a little bit more sunken in than usual. He looked l

    ETHANI know I can be a cynic sometimes. I don’t try to do it on purpose, but it just happens. Even when I’m not trying to think about the worst things that could possibly happen, I find myself going through them like a list sometimes, wondering how everything could get destroyed. With Liv, I tried so hard not to dwell on these thoughts. Things were going great after all. We talked every single day, and we saw each other almost as frequently. Every spare moment I could manage was spent with her, and I loved it that way. We would go for walks in Central Park, or I’d swing by her office at lunch and we would just sit together and talk. Being with her made me feel happy. It pushed all the demons in my head away and made me feel whole again. I wasn’t about to give that up for anything. But a single thought lingered in my head, making me question if this was actually going to work out. I knew I liked her, and I knew I was slowly falling for her. But that interaction with her father had f

    "Please tell me this is just a dream, Olivia," Joanna said over the phone. “Or some fucking nightmare that I can wake up from.”I took a deep breath and pressed the phone tighter against my ear as I paced through the bedroom, trying so hard not to yell at her. "I'm not going to apologize for what I did," I snapped. "He touched me, Joanna, and that crossed a line.""I don't give a fuck if he tried to bend you over and fuck you in front of your staff,” she yelled. “He's Nate Holloway. Do you even understand what that means?""It means he's a pervert,” I said. “And a fool with too much money.""It means he's one of our biggest clients," she said. "Do you have any idea how hard it was landing that deal? The Holloway contract is the only thing keeping Fluxx from sinking right now, and you just fucked it up by deciding to crack Nate’s skull."I stopped dead in my tracks, a hollow feeling settling in my chest as I realized what she’d just said. I couldn’t believe it, and it made me actuall

    Ever since I got to my offices, I couldn’t stop staring at the digital clock on my desk. I checked it again for the thousandth time, feeling a sliver of nervousness as I saw that it was still 10:42 AM.Nate will be here in eighteen minutes.I folded my hands together to stop them from shaking. I wasn’t afraid of him, but I felt like a rubber band which was stretched to its limit. I'd set up the meeting myself, because I needed to be done with this shit once and for all. I needed to clear my head, and I couldn’t continue like this after what happened yesterday while he got to go scotfree. He had no right to do what he did, and I had to make sure he understood that. But right now, with the silence of my office pressing down on me, I couldn't stop the way my pulse quickened at the thought of facing him again, or the thought of having to bring up the issue. I kept thinking about what I would say, how I would say it, and what to do if he didn’t take this seriously. In my moments of horro

    For a moment, I stared at Richard like he'd grown a second head. We sat there in silence, staring at each other as I tried to wrap my head around what he'd just said. Surely it had to be a lie. Because how on earth could he be serious right now?"You're quiet," he said. "I just... I don't know what to say," I whispered, shaking my head. "This is unbelievable.""I know how it sounds," he said quietly. "And I wish it wasn't true, but it is."No matter how hard I tried to wrap my head around what I'd just heard, it just didn't make any sense. How could he be their father? And after all these years? It just didn't seem possible. "So you're telling me you're Ethan and Marcus's father?" I asked.""Biologically, yes," he said. "But in every official sense, Michael Reynard was their father.""How is that even possible?" I asked. Richard sighed as he leaned forward, and he seemed so old and tired as he raked his fingers through hos hair, in much the same way that Ethan used to. "It started

    For a long time after I left the office, I still couldn’t believe what happened. Even as I sat down at our new dining table and silently poked at my steak, it did nothing to stop the wave of nausea that was raging in my stomach. Ethan was talking beside me, but I was barely paying him any attention. He was saying something about knocking down the wall between the pantry and the laundry room, but all I could do was smile and nod when he looked up. All I could think about was Nate’s hand and his voice. I kept thinking about the way he looked at me like I was a piece of meat he owned, and that made me want to cry when I remembered it. I had replayed the scene over and over again on the drive home, trying to decide what was the right thing to do. Should I tell Ethan about it, knowing that he was going to lose his mind over it? Or should I talk to Joanna and tell her I couldn’t work with Nate again? A million other thoughts floated around in my head, but I just couldn’t figure out what

    I still couldn’t believe that Ethan had bought the mansion just like that. He made it seem like it was a pair of shoes or a painting he liked. It all happened so fast, and I just couldn’t believe it. The first week was entirely chaotic. We spent our evenings shopping for furniture, arguing about the best fabric for the couch and whether a vintage record player was essential or rubbish (I won that round of arguing). I spent most days over at the house, telling the delivery men where to put things, and helping out where I could. Ethan suggested hiring an interior designer to handle everything, but there was something so cozy and comforting about doing it myself that I just wasn’t ready to give up. Besides, it wasn’t difficult at all. But the hardest part came the night Rachel flew back from her trip, and I had to tell her that I was moving out.From the moment she walked into our apartment and dropped her bags at the door, her face fell when she saw the boxes in the living room.There

    MARCUSI didn't want to do it initially. He didn't deserve a quick death, after all. But sometimes, when someone pisses you off too much, you just have to take care of things. And when you find out that the bastard who tried to harm the woman you love was only going to a mental institution instead of the jail he deserved, you just have to take care of things yourself. I stood on the balcony and stared down at the city sparkling beneath me while a cold breeze swept past. The sun had already set, but Manhattan was still as loud as ever, with horns blaring down below, people yelling constantly , and the wailing of a siren in the distance. No one would notice me up here, staring down at them and savoring my latest victory. I took a slow sip of my whiskey, letting the warmth roll down the back of my throat as I leaned on the cold steel railing. The evening was perfect, and I couldn’t have been happier after getting the call. Chris was dead, just like I intended. The report said he’d be

    From the moment we pulled up in front of the mansion, my mouth fell open and it stayed like that permanently. The house looked like something out of a movie. It was so huge, and my eyes nearly rolled back into my skull as we walked in. There was a grand staircase which swept upward like it belonged in a castle, and sunlight streamed in through the large windows which made everything look so bright and golden."You've got to be kidding me," I whispered, taking in the beauty of the house. "This is actually insane.""Wait til you see the kitchen," Ethan said as he walked up behind me and took my hand in his. "You could set up a football game in it"When we walked into the kitchen, I knew he wasn't exaggerating. There were two kitchen islands which were so far apart that you probably couldn't even smell what someone was cooking from across the kitchen. There were so many shelves and drawers that it looked more like a convenience store than a home kitchen. Every room we walked into fel

    Ethan was discharged the very next day, and I took him back to my apartment. Rachel had traveled down to Miami for a conference, so it was just the two of us in the house. After he’d taken a shower and eaten the lunch I prepared, he immediately sat down to call a real estate agent. “Is that really necessary?” I asked as I packed up the plates from the dining table. “Shouldn’t you be getting some rest?”“I’ll rest once we have our new home,” he said. “Buying a house usually takes a very long time to process, and I don’t have the time nor the patience to wait too long. The sooner we get started, the quicker we can be done with this.”I left him to his phone call, while I washed up in the kitchen. I could hear him talking in a sharp tone, using his CEO voice where he made it obvious that things were going to go his way, no matter what. I could have sat down and stared at him for hours when he talked like that, but I had other things to do. Like calling Richard Jones and telling him wha

  • Divorced My Cheating Husband & Fell For His Twin   Chapter Ninety-Seven

    I'd thought about seeing Marcus face to face again for a very long time now. I'd imagined standing across from him, looking dead into his eyes and showing him that I wasn't afraid of him anymore. I'd thought about how I was going to stand my ground, and not let him see the fear he'd once inflicted upon me. But standing right there in front of him, looking into those malicious eyes that had tormented me for years, I just couldn't do it. My knees began to shake, and I almost buckled to the ground in terror as the world fell away and it was just the two of us.And then he started to walk towards me. It took every bit of strength in me to not turn around and flee. I visibly shrank the closer he got, and a wave of panic washed over me as I realized that I had nowhere to go. If I turned and ran now, then I would be running for the rest of my life. And that was the last thing I wanted. So I stood my ground, stuck out my chin defiantly, and looked him dead in the eye. I took a deep breath
