Ex Husband, Prepare To Burn Chapter 90 - Meeting
Elara's POV "Absolutely not." Ian said it before I'd even finished laying out the plan, standing at the head of the same dining table that had been a war room twice already this year. "You haven't heard the whole thing." "I've heard enough. You want to let him think he's getting a meeting." "I want to control when and where he thinks that." My voice stayed level. "He's coming regardless, Ian. Sullivan's caller made that clear. The only choice left is whether it happens on ground we've chosen, with people we trust, or in some parking lot he picks because we spent three weeks refusing to engage." "There has to be another way." "Name one." He didn't. His jaw worked once, and he looked at the table instead of at me. Danvers spread a set of building plans across the table — SM Group's Sydney offices, the top floor, a boardroom. I looked at the layout and nothing in me stirred at all, no flicker of recognition, nothing. "If it happens, it happens here." She tapped the
Ex Husband, Prepare To Burn Chapter 89 - You Don't Know Me
Sullivan's POV The phone buzzed against my palm a second time before I got far enough down the hall to answer it properly. Unknown. International. Too many digits to be anything ordinary. "Sullivan." "Mr. Sullivan." A man's voice, accented, careful. "You don't know me. I work for a man who very much wants to speak with your daughter." "Who is this?" "That's not important tonight. What's important is that you understand something, so nobody in your house makes a mistake out of not understanding it." A pause, unhurried. "My employer is not a man accustomed to losing things he considers his. He would like to speak with Ms. Rhodes. Soon. Reasonably. Before this becomes something neither of you would prefer." "She's not his. She was never his." "That's a matter of opinion, Mr. Sullivan, and not one I'm paid to argue." Traffic noise behind him, or an airport announcement I couldn't quite make out. "I'm calling as a courtesy. One phone call, one warning, before anything les
Ex Husband, Prepare To Burn Chapter 88 - Is He A Bad Man
Elara's POVThe house looked wrong before I understood why."Careful." Sullivan wheeled himself through the door someone held open for him. "It'll feel too big at first. It always does, coming back to somewhere your body remembers better than your head does.""How do you know that?""Because I've done it myself. Different circumstances. Same feeling." He didn't elaborate, and I didn't press.A woman came down the hall fast, hands pressed to her mouth, and didn't say anything at all — just crossed the space and put both arms around me before I'd worked out whether I should know her."You came back." Her voice broke into my shoulder. "Madam, you came back.""I did." The words left me before I'd decided what else to say. Something in her voice told me madam was mine, that this wasn't a stranger's mistake."Mrs. Adele." Sullivan's tone had gone gentler than anything else he'd used yet. "Give her room to breathe."The name settled into place the second he offered it. Adele. I turned it ove
Ex Husband, Prepare To Burn Chapter 87 - Home Sweet Home
Ian's POV The call came at four in the morning, and I was awake for it, the way I'd been awake most nights since the coma let me go — some part of my body still convinced that sleep was a debt I hadn't finished repaying. "She's alive." Sullivan's voice, rough, disbelieving even as he said it, like the words might dissolve if he didn't get them out fast enough. "Say that again." "She's alive, Ian. Liam has her. They're in the air, four hours out, Sydney direct." A sound on his end that might have been a laugh, might have been something closer to a sob, impossible to tell over the line. "Eleven weeks. Eleven weeks and Danvers' thin little Frankfurt lead turned out to be everything." I sat up too fast, the stitches in my side reminding me, sharply, that eleven weeks of healing hadn't made me the man I used to be. "Is she hurt." "Liam says no. Disoriented, still — the memory hasn't come back, not fully, but she has a name now, Ian. She knows her own name." A pause, heavier. "There
Ex Husband, Prepare To Burn Chapter 86 - She Has A Home
Julian's POV "You let him take her." Klaus didn't flinch. "I opened a door. She walked through it herself." "You hit the release before I could stop you." "You weren't going to stop her, Julian. You were going to keep finding new sentences to delay the moment you actually had to." He said it without heat, which somehow made it land harder than shouting would have. "I've watched you talk yourself into worse things over smaller stakes. I wasn't going to watch you do it to a woman who finally had a name to stand on." I said nothing. The front hall still had the cold night air trapped in it, the door not quite shut, gravel dust settled thin across the marble where too many feet had crossed too fast. "Where would he take her," I said, finally. "Home, presumably. Wherever home is for a woman who's spent three months not knowing the word." "Track the jet." "Julian—" "Track it, Klaus. I'm not asking you to stop me this time. I'm asking you to find her." He looked at me a long mome
Ex Husband, Prepare To Burn Chapter 85 - This Isn't An Ending
Elara's POV The name hung in the dark outside the glass, and I said it back before I even understood why my mouth already knew the shape of it. "Liam." Klaus hadn't moved. Julian hadn't either. "Open it. Or I break it myself." "Elara—" "Ten seconds, Julian." Klaus moved first. Hit the release before Julian could stop him. The bolt gave with a heavy clunk and I was through the door before either of them got out another word. Cold air. Gravel underfoot. Headlights washing the drive gold, and a man coming out of the glare — limping, one arm held stiff against his side. He stopped a few feet away. Just looked at me. "You don't know me." Not a question. "I don't. I'm sorry, I—" "Don't." His voice cracked. "Don't apologize to me." "How do you know me?" "Long story." Almost a laugh, no humor in it. "Not telling it in this driveway." Julian appeared in the doorway. Klaus a step behind him. "Who are you to her." Julian's voice had gone flat, dangerous. "Some
Ex Husband, Prepare To Burn Chapter 5 - The Game Begins
Elara's POV I followed Ian out of the fashion show and kept my distance, slipping behind a marble pillar in the corridor. My pulse was steady, trained to hide itself; my breath slow. From my hiding place I could hear him—low, flat—answering a call.“You need to hurry up with Camila,” his mother’s
Ex Husband, Prepare To Burn Chapter 4 - The Rules of Love and War
Elara's POV “What are you thinking about, Mum?” Noah’s small voice pulled me from my thoughts.“Nothing much, dear,” I said softly, smiling at him. “I was just remembering the day I gave birth to my lovely triplets. I love you, my children.”“Mum,” Emily said, her eyes sparkling with mischief, “we
Ex Husband, Prepare To Burn Chapter 3 - The Night Everything Ended
Elara's POV My fingers trembled so hard I could barely unlock my phone. One deep breath. One last ounce of courage. Then I hit send — the recording, Ian’s confession, every single shred of betrayal he had thrown at me. I attached it all with a note that burned like poison on my tongue.> “Let’s se
Ex Husband, Prepare To Burn Chapter 2 - Shattered
Elara's POV The streetlight above me flickered, throwing broken shadows across the driveway as I stood there, gripping the divorce papers like they were the only thing keeping me from falling apart. My hands were shaking so badly the pages rustled in the night air. I don’t even remember the dri
