Divorced My Cheating Husband & Fell For His Twin Chapter Thirty-Nine
“Okay, spill,” Jess said, leaning over my desk and narrowing her eyes at me. “You’ve been acting weird ever since you got back from Paris. Did something happen out there?”I looked up and simply smiled. I’d been trying not to think about Paris ever since I got back, but that was easier said than done. Even though it had been three days since I came back to London, I still hadn’t gotten back to normal. I thought I was hiding it well, but apparently that wasn’t the case. “It’s nothing, Jess,” I replied. “I’m just exhausted.”“You’ve been exhausted since you came back,” she said. “Even Joanna mentioned that you don’t seem like yourself anymore. Is something wrong?”“I appreciate the concern, Jess,” I said. “But I’m fine. Really.”She wasn’t buying it, so I pretended to focus on something on my screen. Her desk was all the way across the room, so she had to walk all the way back there. But I could tell that she really wanted to keep pressing the matter. She must have realised that I wasn

“So, are you going to do it?” Rachel asked. “I don’t know,” I replied. We were sitting on the balcony, eating a pizza and listening to the neighbours arguing over the broken sink. “It’s a fucking big deal,” she said. “You’ll be Joanna’s equal, and you get to run your own branch however you want it. You get to have subordinates who will fear you, and you’ll have business meetings with influential people. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity.”“But it’ll also mean I have to go back to New York,” I said. “It would mean going back to my past, and having to deal with the knowledge that Marcus and I are in the same city.”“Fuck Marcus!” Rachel said. “This is about an opportunity falling into your lap, and you can’t let it pass you by. If you don’t do this, then they will simply choose somebody else. Do you really want Jess to take this position over you?”I didn’t know what to say, so I held my tongue. It was true that this would be a huge opportunity, and I would be taking a huge step f

MARCUSEverything was going to hell, right before my eyes. And no matter what I did, there was no stopping it now. Seeing Ethan back like he’d never left was like a shock to my system. When I walked into the stables and found him standing there with our mother, I suddenly felt like I was back in that awful place, when they were always together and I was always left behind. I knew he was her favourite, and that never bothered me. But when he left, I thought things would be different. I thought I could change, and become the person she always wanted him to be. But none of that mattered now. He was back, and we both knew exactly why he decided to come back now. The bastard was trying to capitalise on my moment of weakness. He must have known how bad things had gotten, so he was trying to weasel his way back into our lives. I had gone home with the intention of talking things out with mother and finding a solution to all this. The fact that I chose to step down didn’t mean I wasn’t in

As soon as we landed at J.F.K., my heart started to beat quickly. Maybe it was something in the air. Maybe it was the way I felt like everybody was looking at me. Or maybe it was simply the fact that I still hadn’t come to terms with the reality of coming back. “Well, this is it,” Rachel said as we rolled our bags outside. “I never thought I’ll ever be back here.”“Neither did I,” I replied, pausing to take a deep breath. The air was cold and smelled like smoke, and the noise was deafening. But there was something nostalgic about standing there once again, back in the one place I promised myself I wouldn’t come back to. I was painfully aware of all the things I thought I was walking away from. But now, it all came rushing back. And before I knew it, my fingers were starting to tremble. “Don’t do that,” Rachel said, taking my hand in hers. “Everything is going to be fine.”I smiled weakly at her, and we got a taxi quickly. As we drove into the city, I started to think about how diffe

ETHANFrom the moment I walked into the building, I knew that something was off. Not a single person dared to look at me, and everyone kept their head bowed as they hurried across the main lobby, dashing towards the elevators and glancing over their shoulders to make sure I wasn't going to rip their heads off. At first, I thought everyone just assumed that I was Marcus, and they were absolutely terrified of him. But that didn't make any sense. As far as I knew, Marcus had a close relationship with every single employee of Reynard Tech. And they didn't fear him as much as they respected him. But then, right as I was walking past the front desk, the receptionist nearly tripped over himself as he hurried over towards me, wearing the fakest smile I'd ever seen in my life. "Mr. Reynard!" he exclaimed. "Welcome back. It's a pleasure to have you here again.""Hello, Richard," I said, glancing at his name tag. "But I think there's a mistake somewhere. I'm not Marcus. I—""Oh, we know," he

Okay, I admit it.I’m a terrible person. But in my defence, I didn’t know what else to do. It’s not like I could send him a text and say “Hey, just thought I should let you know that I’m in New York. Remember when you asked me to move to America with you? That was crazy, right? Anyway, we should get a drink together sometime. Bye xx.”I couldn’t bring myself to do that. I knew if I posted a picture with my location, he would definitely see it. And maybe it would soften the blow for when I would actually call him and explain myself. I wanted to believe that he would have some time to think about it before I actually called, and he would be willing to forgive me by then. But for now, I was focused on work and settling into the office. Rachel and I spent the first day interviewing our potential employees. After the fiftieth applicant, my head was starting to spin. There were so many of them, each one more eager than the last. They reminded me of myself and Emily when we were job huntin

Being back in the halls of J.P. Steele was like stepping through a Time Machine. Suddenly I remembered those awful days leading up to my divorce, when David was helping me out and I was actually stupid enough to believe that he was on my side. I knew better now, and I realised that I should have seen through their charade back then. Marcus has orchestrated everything from the beginning. He knew exactly which buttons to push, and he knew that David would be the first person I would turn to for help. Rather than securing David for himself, he pretended to look helpless, and have him pretend to be helping me so he could stay close and gather as much information as he could manage. I guess it was truly a smart move to keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. I thought back to the meeting we had at the coffee place across the street, and how Marcus walked in on us while I had to hide in the next booth. I should have realised back then that the odds of him showing up at that exa

MARCUSI opened my eyes slowly, the blinding lights overhead causing me to wince. There was a steady beeping sound coming from somewhere over my head that I knew would irritate me very soon, but I couldn’t turn to see what it was. My head felt like it was going to explode, my mouth was painfully dry, and when I tried to turn, pain shot up my entire body and I was frozen in place. “You’re awake.”I shifted my gaze to find Emily sitting beside me, a cold and distant look in her eyes as she regarded me like I was a stain on the bottom of her shoes. “What is this?” I asked. “What am I doing here?”“You’re in the hospital, Marcus,” she said. “You drove straight into the lobby of a building and injured six people.”I remembered it now, the screeching of the brakes, the fuzziness from all the drinking, and the pain that exploded all over me as the car slammed into the wall. “How long was I out?” I asked. “Are you fucking kidding me?” she spat. “I just told you that you’ve injured six pe

Divorced My Cheating Husband & Fell For His Twin Chapter One Hundred and One
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

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

For a while, I just sat there and stared at Nate. I couldn't process the fact that he was here, and as my brain slowly booted up again, I felt Ethan tense beside me. "Nate, what are you doing here?" I asked. "Offering my condolences," he said. "I heard about the accident, and I just knew I had to come here as soon as I returned."He was more tanned than the last time I'd seen him, and his hair was a little bit longer. He looked like he'd come straight from the beach, in his plain white shirt and khaki pants. It was so different from the man in the tailored suit who strutted about like he owned the building. And yet, even now, there was an air of confidence about him as he stood in the middle of the room and stared at us. “Why the long faces?” he asked. “Did someone die?”“What the fuck are you doing here?” Ethan asked, attempting to stand up before I held him down. “I heard you were sick,” Nate said. “Oh, I mean shot. It’s all over the news. I just got back from Paris, so I though

Ethan ended up taking longer than we expected to get discharged, and he ended up staying in the hospital for two weeks. During that time, he had to get a lot of therapy so he could move his left arm again, because some nerves had been damaged and they needed to heal properly. I stayed with him the entire time, only leaving to shower and get a new batch of clean clothes when I had to. But otherwise, we just sat together and talked. He wasn't in too much pain, so mostly we had enough time to just sit and talk about life. It was on the thirteenth day that we spoke about what he told me in the cabin. He didn't want to talk about it when I brought it up, but I managed to convince him that it was necessary. This was the only way to clear his conscience, so he could finally be free of the guilt that he had carried after all these years. "But what if we find out that I was the one who killed him?" he asked quietly, staring out the window. "What if it's confirmed that I'm a murderer?""I kn

MARCUSI swear I could smell the pig even from outside the door. My blood was boiling even before I walked into the room, but it took a monumental effort to keep myself in check. I had to be quick. It shouldn't take longer than five minutes. Thankfully, the cop standing by the door didn't say anything as I walked in. He just gave me a polite nod, and he stepped aside as I walked in and shut the door behind me.Chris looked like a man who’d gotten into a cage fight with a gorilla. He was bruised all over, and several parts of his face were swollen, with one eye almost completely shut. His bottom lip was split open like a rotten fruit, and both of his hands were cuffed to the bedrails as if he was some sort of rabid animal. It was an amusing sight, which perfectly suited the bastard who’d tried to take Olivia from me. He shifted slightly when he saw me, then he flinched in terror. I saw the recognition in his bloodshot eyes, then confusion as he blinked several times, then something

The first thing on my mind when I woke up was Ethan. I bolted out of bed instantly, and I had to grip the bed frame as I swayed and nearly toppled to the ground. I felt like my brain was trying to explode from my skull, and the ringing in my ear was constant. I had to sit down on the bed once again, and it took me a few seconds to regain my breath and take in my surroundings. The room was eerily quiet, so much so that I could only hear the low humming of the air conditioning. I shifted slightly on the stiff bed, and I cursed aloud as my joints aches from how long I'd been curled up. My mouth was incredibly dry, and my skin felt so clammy. Every inch of me felt like it was protesting the simple act of waking up, and it was like I hadn't slept at all.But the guilt cut through the fog. How long had I been out? What if Ethan had woken up already? And I was just sitting here like a ditz and worrying about something ridiculous like hunger. Slowly, I dragged myself to my feet and made m
