Ex-husband Wanted an Open Marriage With My Sister 53
The morning light streamed into my temporary hotel suite, crisp and unforgiving. I was already dressed in my sharpest suit, the armor I'd meticulously constructed since my return to Sunlit Legal. My phone, however, vibrated on the polished surface of the nightstand, a stark reminder of the world I'd left behind, and the battle I was now fighting.It was Daniel. His tearful voice, recounting Anna's supposed illness and Alexander's looming anger, had pierced through the fragile calm I’d built. I’d called Rita, who, with her characteristic blend of pragmatism and fierce loyalty, had painted a clear path forward. Daniel was my priority. And securing full custody was not just a legal battle, but a war for his very soul.Then came Ms. Davies from Reach Group’s legal department, Alexander’s first shot across the bow. Her icy threats, culminating in the chilling mention of sole custody, had stripped away any lingering illusions. Alexander wasn't just threatened; he was desperate. And he was w

Alex POVThe scotch in my glass swirled, a golden vortex that mirrored the chaotic turbulence in my chest. I sat in my top-floor office, the sprawling Manhattan skyline usually a testament to my dominion, but today it felt like a mocking audience. On the wall-mounted screen, the news feed flickered to life, and the air in the room suddenly turned into lead.There she was. Jennifer.She wasn't the woman who used to wait for me with a gentle smile and a warm dinner, her eyes seeking my approval like a parched plant reaching for water. No, this woman stood before a swarm of buzzing reporters with the poise of a diamond and the sharpness of a razor. She wore that fog-blue suit I had bought for her—a gesture of compensation that now felt like I had handed a soldier her armor.My grip tightened on the crystal glass. The news ticker at the bottom scrolled relentlessly: *Sunlit Legal Files Civil Suit Against Hynes Family... Allegations of Corporate Conspiracy and Evidence Tampering.*"Mr. Rea

The static hiss of the office air conditioning was the only thing filling the silence as I pushed open the heavy glass doors of Sunlit Legal. My heels clicked against the polished marble, a rhythmic, military precision that mirrored the cold wall I had built around my heart. The memory of the museum—the heat of Caspian’s skin, the intoxicating smell of cedar—tried to flare up like a dying ember, but I doused it with the icy recollection of waking up to an empty bed.I was done being a plaything for powerful men."Jenny, thank God," Rita said, looking up from a mountain of files in my office. She had a streak of ink on her cheek and a double espresso in her hand. Lucas was leaning over a whiteboard, his blond hair uncharacteristically disheveled, marking out a complex timeline of Hynes family shell companies."No more distractions," I said, my voice cutting through the room like a scalpel. I didn't wait for them to ask about my morning. I threw my bag onto the desk and pulled out my la

The first rays of dawn, pale and tentative, filtered through the blinds, casting soft stripes across the unfamiliar room. My eyelids fluttered open, heavy with a blissful exhaustion I hadn't known in years. My body felt… utterly languid, every muscle singing with a sweet ache. Slowly, my mind resurfaced from the depths of sleep, bringing with it fragmented, intoxicating memories of the night before. Caspian. The fierce passion, the tender devotion, the way his lips had found every hidden sensitivity, the strength of his arms around me… A blush crept up my neck.I reached out, my fingers seeking the warmth beside me on the bed. But the space was cool, smooth. Empty.My eyes snapped open completely. I sat up, the soft silk sheets pooling around my bare waist. The other side of the bed was perfectly undisturbed, devoid of any sign he had ever been there. No dented pillow, no stray dark hair, not even the lingering scent of his cologne.Panic, cold and sharp, pierced through the afterglow

The noise all around seemed sealed off by an invisible barrier. Caspian’s hoarse, bewitching words—He’s watching. Do you want revenge?—shot through every layer of my feigned calm like an electric current. My heart lurched into a frantic pounding, slamming against my chest as if desperate to break free.Alexander.The man I had once regarded as my salvation stood not far away, his eyes like two poisoned blades, piercing straight into me. Beside him, Anna’s face looked grotesque under the dazzling lights, consumed almost entirely by rage and jealousy.Revenge. The word was like a forbidden spell, stirring a tempest deep inside my heart.A thrilling, taboo excitement I had never known raged through me like wildfire. All the long-suppressed resentment, the overlooked pain, and the humiliation of having my worth casually dismissed by him burst free at last. I could practically feel my blood burning in my veins; the heady rush of adrenaline left me barely able to stand steady.Caspian’s fin

Caspian’s hand rested steadily on my waist, the warmth of his palm seeping through the fine wool fabric. The touch held no trace of ambiguity; instead, it carried a stern, business-like resolve, as if he had erected an unshakable steel barrier behind me.I straightened my back, tilted my chin up, and gazed past the shifting crowd in the foyer, my eyes locking straight onto Alexander.Pushing aside two businessmen who tried to block his way, he strode toward me in such a hurry that the polished gentlemanly demeanor he always maintained cracked at the edges. He stopped two meters before us, his chest heaving violently. His gaze swept over me before fixing sharply on Caspian.“Caspian Knight, what do you think you’re doing?” Alexander’s voice was low, every word ground out between clenched teeth. “Parading my wife around an event like this—just how far do you intend to provoke me?”Anna clung to his arm, her nails digging hard into the cuff of his suit sleeve. She had changed into a whit
