‘And since when do you like chocolate ice cream?’ Roxy asked as she watched Scarlett take a big bite into her ice cream cone.

‘Since today, my friend’ Scarlett answered, tilting her head back as she closed her eyes, the chocolate goodness melting into her taste buds ‘I want to try something new’

‘Great!!!’

Scarlett almost jumped at Roxy’s scream as she turned to face the blonde haired woman sitting beside her who was now smiling from ear to ear.

“Um-girl, am I missing something here? What’s in

    Chapter 59-Cassian was in his office when his phone rang.He looked at the screen.His investigator.He answered immediately.“Tell me something useful.”There was a brief pause.“Good afternoon to you too, Mr. Blackwell.”Cassian’s expression didn’t change.The investigator continued.“I’ve been looking into the woman from the photographs.”Cassian leaned back in his chair.“Already?”“I’ve identified her.”His fingers tightened slightly around the phone.“And?”“Her name is Dr. Margaret Hayes.”Cassian’s expression hardened.“A doctor.”“Yes.”“What kind?”Another pause.“Gynecologist.”Cassian went still.The word seemed to settle heavily inside his office.Gynecologist.Elise.A secret meeting.An envelope.Cassian’s gaze moved toward the photographs lying on his desk.His investigator continued.“Would you like me to send you her full information?”“Send everything.”“There’s something else.”Cassian stood.“What?”“Dr. Hayes has been connected to a patient whose name you might recogn

  • Ex wife’s return: Claiming the billionaire’s crown   CHAPTER 58-LOOSE ENDS

    Diane had been staring at the hospital doors for nearly five minutes.She had told herself she was waiting for the elevator.That was the excuse she gave herself every time someone walked past.The truth was that she couldn’t make herself leave.Not yet.Her fingers were wrapped tightly around the strap of her handbag as she stood at the end of the corridor, her eyes fixed on the private room just ahead.Grant was inside.She had watched Scarlett go inside.Diane’s jaw tightened.She hadn’t planned on coming to the hospital that afternoon. In fact, she had spent the better part of the morning trying to convince herself that she had no reason to come at all.Grant was recovering.That was what the staff had told her.The surgery had gone well.He was awake.And somehow, despite knowing all of that, Diane had still found herself getting dressed.Still found herself sitting in the backseat of her car.Still found herself walking through the hospital doors.She lied to herself that it was beca

  • Ex wife’s return: Claiming the billionaire’s crown   CHAPTER 57-PUZZLE PIECES

    Scarlett had spent the better part of the morning walking between two hospital rooms.Theo was in one,Grant was in the other.And somehow, despite having spent years believing she could handle anything life decided to throw at her, Scarlett felt as though she had been split directly down the middle.Every time she sat beside Theo, her mind wandered to Grant.Every time she stood beside Grant’s bed, her thoughts immediately returned to Theo.She had barely slept,not that she had truly tried.The surgery had gone well.The doctors had told her that more than once, and each time Scarlett heard the words, a small part of the suffocating weight pressing against her chest loosened.The surgery went well.It had become the only sentence she wanted to hear.Theo was recovering.Grant was recovering.Everything was going to be okay.Or at least, Scarlett desperately hoped it would be.Theo’s room felt quieter than the rest of the hospital.Scarlett had chosen to spend most of the morning there becau

  • Ex wife’s return: Claiming the billionaire’s crown   Chapter 56-THE BEGINNING OF THE END

    Cassian had been staring at Elise’s message for almost ten minutes.‘Something came up. I’m sorry, handsome. Rain check?’Three short lines.Ordinarily, he might have found the message mildly irritating. Elise had a habit of canceling plans as though she had never learned the concept of inconvenience, and then appearing the next day with a smile beautiful enough to make people forget why they had been annoyed with her in the first place.Cassian, however, had never been particularly easy to distract.And tonight, something about the message bothered him.Not because she had cancelled, something in the air was not just right.He leaned back against the leather seat of his car, the phone resting loosely in his hand as he looked through the windshield at the city ahead of him. He was parked outside the restaurant where they had planned to have dinner.Alone.His driver waited silently in the front seat.Cassian looked at Elise’s message again.Something came up.The words were harmless.He

    The sun had begun to sink behind the trees by the time Scarlett reached Grant’s estate.Her hands were still shaking around the steering wheel.She hadn’t stopped thinking during the drive.That was the problem,there was too much time to think.Too much time to imagine Grant looking at her with anger before she told him why she had come, too much time to imagine him refusing.No.Grant would never refuse.Even if he hated Scarlett, even if he never wanted to see her again.He loved Theo and Scarlett knew that.She had seen it.She had trusted him because of it.But knowing something and desperately needing it were two completely different things.Her car came to a stop outside the house.Scarlett barely remembered walking through the front entrance or even feeling the ground beneath her feet.One of the staff members recognized her immediately.“Ms.Monroe-”“Where’s Grant?”The woman hesitated.Scarlett’s heart dropped again.“Where is he?”“He isn’t in the house.”Scarlett stared.“What do

  • Ex wife’s return: Claiming the billionaire’s crown   Chapter 54-ONE CALL AWAY

    Scarlett had finally stopped pretending she was undecided.For weeks, she had told herself she was simply considering her options , that Napa was an idea.A possibility.A place she might return to when things in Manhattan became too complicated.But that morning, standing in the middle of her bedroom with half of her wardrobe spread across the bed and two open suitcases waiting on the floor, Scarlett had finally admitted the truth.She was leaving.Not today,maybe not tomorrow but she was leaving.The realization should have felt freeing.Instead, it sat heavily in her chest.Scarlett stood in front of the open wardrobe for several seconds, one of Theo’s tiny sweaters hanging from her fingers. She had packed a few things already, quietly and without telling anyone. There was no point in announcing her departure until she had figured out exactly when she was going.And more importantly,how she was going to tell the people who mattered.Grant.Cassian.Roxy knew already of course. She was

    The organ’s last notes faded into the silence of the chapel, leaving only the faint rustle of designer fabrics and murmured condolences. The Ashbourne funeral was supposed to be a statement of legacy, but all anyone could think about now was the ghost who had returned wearing heels sharp enough to

    The front door shut quietly behind Scarlett as she walked timidly behind her husband and his family.
