CLAIRE

I reached the building and rode the elevator up, my vision slightly blurred. Inside the penthouse, I closed the door and leaned against it, my hand pressed to my stomach the way it had been so many times before.

I walked to the couch and sat down, not bothering to turn on the lights as the afternoon shadows stretched across the room.

My phone buzzed but I ignored it, the grief came in waves like this sometimes, unexpected and overwhelming, triggered by something small like a baby on the

  • Divorced, Now Watch Me Rise!   Can I?

    CLAIREJulian didn't hesitate. "I want to see where this goes," he said. "I want to wake up next to you, I want to come home to you, I want to build something real with you."He paused, his gray eyes holding mine. "I want a future with you, Claire," he said quietly. "Not because of a contract or revenge or convenience, but because I love you and I want you in my life."My breath caught. "That's what I want too," I whispered.Julian stood up and came around the table, offering me his hand. "Come on," he said."Where are we going?" I asked, taking his hand."You'll see," he replied.He left money on the table and led me out of the restaurant, Marco calling goodbye as we left.Outside, instead of getting in the car, Julian started walking. "It's just a few blocks," he said when I looked at him questioningly. 

  • Divorced, Now Watch Me Rise!   Date

    CLAIREThe next day passed in a blur of nervous energy. I tried to focus on work, responding to customer emails and reviewing production schedules with Nina, but my mind kept drifting to tonight.Julian had left early for meetings and hadn't told me anything except to be ready at seven. By six PM, I was standing in front of my closet, staring at my limited options.The emerald dress felt too formal, the burgundy one I'd worn to the opera felt too significant, everything else felt too casual.Finally, I settled on a simple black dress, one of my newer designs, elegant but not overdone, with clean lines that made me feel confident. I did my makeup carefully, keeping it natural but polished, and left my hair down in loose waves.At six fifty-five, I walked out to the living room. Julian was waiting by the door, dressed in dark jeans and a charcoal sweater that made his gray eyes sta

  • Divorced, Now Watch Me Rise!   This Feels Normal

    CLAIREThe next few days passed in a strange, wonderful blur, everything was the same but different, we still lived in the same penthouse, still had our separate bedrooms, and still worked on our respective businesses.But now there was awareness between us, a charge in the air that hadn't been there before, or maybe it had been and we'd just been pretending it wasn't.Small things felt significant now, Julian's hand brushing mine when we passed in the hallway, the way he looked at me over his laptop during the day, how we'd sit closer on the couch in the evenings.Nothing had really changed except everything had.On Wednesday, I had a meeting at the SoHo boutique to finalize the display details.Marina was thrilled with the pieces Nina had delivered, arranging them on the wall near the window with careful precision."These are going to sell out," she said confidently. "Mark my w

  • Divorced, Now Watch Me Rise!   Conversation

    CLAIREI woke up to sunlight streaming through my window and the smell of coffee drifting from the kitchen.For a moment, I just lay there, remembering last night, Julian coming back from Singapore, Ethan's call, the almost-kiss in the hallway.Today we were going to talk. My stomach flipped nervously as I got out of bed and got dressed, pulling on comfortable clothes and running my fingers through my hair.When I walked into the kitchen, Julian was already there, two mugs of coffee sitting on the counter.He looked up when I entered, his gray eyes searching my face."Morning," he greeted."Morning," I replied, sitting down at the counter.Julian slid one of the mugs toward me and I wrapped my hands around it, grateful for something to hold onto.We sat in silence for a moment, both of us knowing we couldn't avoid this conversation any longer."So," Julian said finally. "We should talk.""Yeah," I agreed, my voice quieter than I intended.Julian set down his coffee and turned to face

  • Divorced, Now Watch Me Rise!   Threat

    CLAIREJulian stared at his phone, Ethan's name glowing on the screen. I wiped my eyes quickly, trying to pull myself together."Don't answer it," I said.Julian looked at me, his expression cold and sharp. "I want to hear what he has to say," he replied, then answered. "What do you want, Ethan?"He didn't put it on speaker but I could hear the faint sound of Ethan's voice through the phone, tight and strained.Julian's jaw clenched. "How did you get this number?" he asked, his tone flat.More talking from Ethan's end. "I don't care what you think you know," Julian said. "You have thirty seconds before I hang up."I watched Julian's face, saw the anger simmering beneath the surface. "The medical records," Julian said slowly, and my stomach dropped.The genetic testing from when I lost the baby, proof that it had been Ethan's child, not some affair like he'd claimed. "What about them?" Julian continued, his voice dangerously calm.Ethan's voice came through louder now, more frantic.Ju

    CLAIREI reached the building and rode the elevator up, my vision slightly blurred. Inside the penthouse, I closed the door and leaned against it, my hand pressed to my stomach the way it had been so many times before.I walked to the couch and sat down, not bothering to turn on the lights as the afternoon shadows stretched across the room.My phone buzzed but I ignored it, the grief came in waves like this sometimes, unexpected and overwhelming, triggered by something small like a baby on the subway or a mother's smile.Most days I was fine, most days I focused on work and moving forward and building my life, but some days, like today, the loss felt fresh and raw, like it had just happened yesterday instead of months ago.I pulled my knees up to my chest, wrapping my arms around them, and let myself feel it, the grief, the anger, the overwhelming sadness of what would never be.Time passed, minutes or hours, I wasn't sure, the room grew darker as the sun set, shadows deepening until
