Delilah’s POV

My palm still stung from the impact, but the sight of Julian’s stunned face, the bright red mark coloring on his cheek, was satisfying. He deserved it. Every hateful word, his betrayal, had earned him that slap.

Then, the sudden silence of the lobby registered. My head snapped up. All eyes were on us. The board members and some of Calix’s employees stood frozen, drawn by the unexpected noise. And then I saw him—Calix. He was walking towards us. I could tell he was angry. His face was filled with fury, and his eyes were blazing with an intensity that made my stomach churn.

Julian, recovering from his initial shock, immediately turned his anger on me, his voice rising. It was clear that he wanted to be heard by everyone. "You crazy bitch! How dare you lay a hand on me? Do you know who I am? You pathetic little gold-digger! You think just because you’ve somehow wormed your way in here, you can assault people? You’re a tramp, Delilah, a low-class tramp who’s probably trying

  • Divorced My Husband And Found Love   HUNDRED AND SIX

    Naomi's povThe rooftop felt like it was breathing.That was the only way I could explain it—the way the night air pulsed with laughter, music, flashing phone lights, the hum of too many emotions packed into one place. My chest felt light, like if I didn't anchor myself to something solid, I might actually drift off into the sky.“Okay, smile again,” Anna said, shoving her phone in my face for what could have been the millionth time. “No, not that smile. The happy one.”“I am happy,” I protested, but I smiled anyway, softer this time, and the camera clicked.“Give us prom queen energy,” Priscilla added dramatically, waving her hands like she was directing a music video.“I literally just got asked to prom,” I chuckled. “Let’s not start crowning me yet.”Too late.The girls erupted again—dramatic cheers, teasing. Someone whistled. Someone else started chanting my name like I just won an award I didn’t apply for.I glanced to my left.Jace was leaning against the low railing at the edge

  • Divorced My Husband And Found Love   HUNDRED AND FIVE

    Naomi's povThe stairs ended abruptly on a small landing that opened onto the rooftop. I stepped off the top riser and froze.I stopped breathing.The rooftop glows.The air was still, quiet, and magical. It was a private, smaller section, probably a terrace attached to a restaurant, and it was entirely transformed. Everywhere I looked, delicate, warm fairy lights were strung—over the railing, across a low arch, woven through the greenery in planters. The soft music seemed to be coming from speakers hidden in the plants. A single, elegantly set small table sat near the edge, its white linen catching the glow.But I barely registered any of it. My eyes locked on the figure standing near the railing, overlooking the sparkling, breathtaking chaos of the city skyline.It was Jace.He was waiting for me.My breath hitched in my throat, a sharp, almost physical pain. I hadn’t known I was going to see him again, especially not after the narrow escape this morning. He was dressed simply, but

    Naomi's pov“Oh, God, no, Naomi, that neckline is all wrong. It’s a hangout, not a wake.”Anna’s voice was too loud, too bright. I shifted uncomfortably on the stool, feeling like a doll being dressed for a particularly intense tea party.“I liked the gray sweater,” I mumbled, watching my reflection in the mirror as Anna held up a cute, off-the-shoulder, black dress. It was definitely more ‘date-night’ than ‘pizza-and-a-movie.’Priscilla, perched on the counter with a makeup brush, sighed dramatically. “Honey, the gray sweater says, ‘I’m here to wash your plates.’ The black dress says, ‘Hello, gorgeous, and maybe pour me a flute of champagne.’ We’re going for the latter, obviously.”“But we’re just getting ice cream and maybe watching a terrible rom-com, right?” I pressed, looking from Priscilla to Anna, who was currently wrestling with a tube of mascara. My friends had been acting strangely since I got back. Hyper-efficient, overly enthusiastic, and sudden, synchronized silences whe

    Naomi's povI parked the car and killed the engine. Before I could unbuckle, Sarah wrenched my door open.“There she is!” she announced, eyes wide. “Finally! What took you so long?!”“I was driving?” I said. “Like… I literally told you that this morning.”Sarah waved that off. “Irrelevant. Today is girls’ night emergency edition.”“Emergency for who?” I asked in confusion.“For you,” Priscilla said.“For us,” Anna added.“No time, no time, no time!” Sarah declared, grabbing my wrist with a surprising amount of strength. “You’re wasting precious minutes! Move!”She practically dragged me out of the car. I threw a weak glance back at Harper, who was watching the scene unfold with wide, captivated eyes.“Just follow me inside, Harper. Please,” I managed to yell over Sarah’s frantic instructions.Inside the foyer, Sarah stopped dramatically and turned to Harper. “Okay. Let’s do this properly. Introduce us, Naomi. But make it snappy.”I blinked, finally pulling my arm free as we all steppe

    Naomi's pov“Thank you both again,” Mum said, leaning against the counter and giving Harper and me a grateful nod.Harper exhaled like she just survived a small war.“Girls, you’re dismissed for the day,” Mum continued, untying her apron. “Thank you. Seriously. I don’t know how you two pulled this off, but the storage room turned out cleaner than I expected.”Harper beamed like she personally saved the entire culinary industry. “We’re basically icons.”Mum’s laugh was a warm sound. “I believe you, dear. Now, run along. Both of you.” She dug into her apron and handed her car keys to me. “I asked the driver to leave earlier. You girls can drive yourselves home.”“Thank you, Mum,” I smiled, collecting the keys.Just then Hayden poked out his head from the kitchen. “I’m staying to help Delilah finish up.”Harper blinked. “You are?”“Yes.” He tossed the towel aside and gave Mum a polite nod. “If that’s okay.”She smiled. “I’d appreciate the help, especially since these two have to go home.

    Naomi's povThe back storage room of the restaurant was a testament to organized chaos. It smelled faintly of lemon-scented floor cleaner, mixed with the dusty aroma of cardboard and the metallic tang of unopened shipment tins. I escorted Harper in, annoyance still prickling my skin from the scene she'd created out front.“This way,” I muttered, my voice reflecting every anger in me.Harper dragged her feet across the concrete floor, the sound grating. “I don’t see why I have to be back here,” she muttered, arms crossed, lip poking out like she was trying to win an award for Best Pout.I almost didn’t bother responding. I was already annoyed, and honestly still humiliated from the scene earlier when she acted up in front of customers. I was not Mum—I didn’t have that warm, patient, mother-of-all-children energy.“You’re an employee who was caught disrupting service,” I finally retorted, stopping beside a stack of banquet chairs draped in plastic dust covers. “And you’re lucky Mum didn
