Double Life of Mrs Sinclair Chapter 24. The close call
EMILIA’S POV I stood in front of the mirror after work, adjusting my hair before reaching for my bag. I had spent the whole day trying not to think about Richard, Adrienne, or the strange feeling that my life was slowly becoming harder to control, but I needed somewhere I could breathe. The club had always been that place for me, and tonight I wasn't going to let my worries take that away. By the time I arrived, the familiar music and dim lights made some of the tightness in my chest disappear. I slipped inside and changed into my usual clothes, grateful that nobody here expected me to be Richard's wife or the perfect surgeon. For a few hours, I could simply be Emilia. I was still settling into the evening when my phone vibrated inside my bag, and the moment I saw Richard's name on the screen, my stomach dropped. I'm coming home early tonight. I read the message twice, hoping I had somehow misunderstood it, but there was nothing complicated about the words. Richard was coming hom
Double Life of Mrs Sinclair Chapter 23. Richard’s suspicion
RICHARD’S POV “Something has changed with my wife,” I said quietly, staring through the window of my study as the city lights blurred below me. I had been thinking about it for days, going over little things I would normally ignore, but lately they had started adding up. Emilia's schedule was no longer as predictable as it used to be, she kept her phone close even when there was no reason to, and some nights she came home with a look on her face that told me her mind was somewhere else. At first, I told myself it was work. Emilia had always been serious about the hospital, and I knew her job could take up most of her time. But lately, there was something different about her. She seemed distracted even when she was sitting right beside me, and whenever I asked what was wrong, she gave me the same answer about being tired. I didn't believe it anymore. I had considered asking her directly, but I knew Emilia well enough to understand that a direct question would only make her careful.
Double Life of Mrs Sinclair Chapter 22. The first boundary
EMILIA’S POV “I need to talk to you,” I said the moment I found Adrienne alone after his shift, my fingers tightening around the strap of my bag as I stood a few feet away from him. I had spent the entire morning telling myself I was doing the right thing, but standing in front of him suddenly made me question every word I had prepared. Still, I knew I couldn't keep pretending nothing had changed between us. Adrienne looked up from the file in his hands and studied my face before slowly closing it. “That sounds serious,” he said, setting the file aside as he leaned back against the desk. There was a small smile on his face, but it disappeared when he noticed that I wasn't smiling back. “What happened?” “Nothing happened,” I answered quickly, then shook my head when I realized how unconvincing that sounded. “That's actually the problem. Too many things have happened, and I think we've gotten too comfortable with each other.” I took a slow breath, trying to keep my voice steady. “I
Double Life of Mrs Sinclair Chapter 21. Her answer
EMILIA’S POV “I honestly don't know,” I admitted, looking back at Adrienne as the question settled between us. I had expected him to laugh or make another comment, but he didn't. He simply watched me, waiting without rushing me for an answer. That somehow made it harder. I looked down at my handbag and tried to think of the last time I had done something simply because I wanted to, but every answer that came to mind had someone else's expectations attached to it. I walked back to the table and slowly sat down again, letting my handbag rest beside my chair. “I think that's the problem,” I said after a quiet moment, rubbing my thumb over the edge of my glass as I searched for the right words. “I don't think I've made a lot of choices because I wanted them. Most of the time, I just did what made sense at the time.” I gave a small, tired smile as I looked away. “I married Richard because I needed security. I worked hard because I wanted to become a surgeon. Then everything just... beca
Double Life of Mrs Sinclair Chapter 20. The return
EMILIA’S POV “I'm going out for a while,” I said quietly as I picked up my handbag, keeping my voice casual even though I knew Richard would probably ask where I was going. I had barely been home for an hour, yet the walls already felt too close. The weekend was over, but the questions Richard had asked were still sitting heavily in my mind, especially the ones about my marriage and whether I was truly happy. I didn't have an answer for him, and I wasn't ready to admit that to myself either. Richard looked up from his phone when I walked past the study. “Where are you going this late?” he asked, his eyes following me as I adjusted the strap of my bag. There was nothing wrong with his tone, but after the weekend, even simple questions made me feel like I needed to explain myself. “I'm just going to the club for a little while,” I answered, giving him a small smile as I tried not to look nervous. “I need some air, and I'll be back later.” He studied me for a moment before nodding.
Double Life of Mrs Sinclair Chapter 19. The weekend
RICHARD’S POV “Something is wrong with Emilia.” I said it quietly as I watched her from across the table, pretending to listen to the music playing around us. She had smiled several times that evening, thanked me for the dinner, and even laughed at one of my jokes, but none of it reached her eyes. I had known her for years. I knew when she was happy, when she was tired, and when she was simply trying to keep me from asking questions. “You've barely touched your food,” I said, keeping my voice light as I looked at her plate. “Are you not hungry, or is something on your mind?” “I'm fine,” Emilia replied, picking up her fork and moving a little food around her plate. “I'm just tired. It's been a long week.” I nodded and took a sip of my drink, deciding not to push her yet. “How is the project going?” I asked casually, leaning back in my chair as though the question meant nothing. “I imagine working with Adrienne has made things easier.” Her hand stopped for half a second before she
