FROM DISCARDED WIFE TO UNTOUCHABLE WOMAN Playing Myself
Serena's POV His hand tightened on my wrist slightly."What?”"I don't want you here.” I repeated, avoiding his stare."You were fine with it two nights ago.""Two nights ago was a mistake.""Serena-""You don't have to do this." I pulled my hand free, and my voice shook. "You don't have to sit by my bed and hold my hand and look at me like that. There's no one here to see. There's no board, no family, no audience. So stop acting like we're in love."The silence was very long."Isn't that what the contract demands?" he said.I turned my face toward the wall.My eyes were burning. I could feel the tears pooling in the corners, and I didn't want him to see them. I didn't want him to know what he'd done. God, why does this hurt so much? It seems I'd fallen in love.I blinked hard, once, twice, and focused on a crack in the plaster until the pressure behind my eyes began to ease."Serena?""I can't," I said, very low."Can't what?""Keep pretending." My voice came out thin. "I'm not good
FROM DISCARDED WIFE TO UNTOUCHABLE WOMAN Don't Want You Here
Meanwhile, Finn had learned how she took her tea.That was the first thing Karen noticed that morning, standing in the kitchen doorway in her robe with one hand pressed flat against her stomach. He'd made it exactly right, one sugar, a splash of milk, the bag removed after precisely two minutes, and he was holding it out to her with the pleased, anxious look of a boy who'd done his homework."You're up early," he said."Yes.""Sit. I'll bring your toast.""Finn, I can-""Sit."“You really don't need to-” Karen started but he ignored her.She sat. He kissed the top of her head on his way to the toaster. Karen’s fingers curled around her dress. The smell of the bread turned her stomach. She breathed through her mouth and stared at the window until the nausea receded.She wondered how long she could stand this behaviour from Finn. Yet she knew she couldn't dare to tell him the truth. In about four weeks, she would show him the test results and say it's his child. God forgive me."I have
FROM DISCARDED WIFE TO UNTOUCHABLE WOMAN A Coincidence
Serena's POV"Are you all right?" Elliot gripped my elbow so hard that it ached."I'm fine," I said, through my teeth."You're not."I didn't respond."You're white as a sheet." His other hand came up and pressed against my forehead, and I felt the faint shake in his fingers. "What are you doing here? You were supposed to be resting. I told you to stay in bed.""I wasn't tired.""You lost consciousness yesterday.""I'm fine.""You snuck out of the house." His voice rose, and he caught himself with visible effort. "You walked past two guards and sat in a car and came here, knowing you'd been unwell, knowing the doctor said-""Elliot.""Don't Elliot me.""Brother," said Aunt Rose, faintly. "Perhaps a chair."A chair appeared. They lowered me into it, and Elliot knelt in front of me, which I'd never seen him do for anyone. His eyes searched my face.Behind him, Jenson stood with his arms rigid at his sides.He hadn't spoken. His lips were pressed together so tightly they'd gone pale. His
FROM DISCARDED WIFE TO UNTOUCHABLE WOMAN A Barren Conscience
The silence in the room was broken by Mr Vance's frail voice.“Have a seat, Sandra.” He paused and added. “It's good you came. I'd have probably asked the butler to make something if you had informed us you were coming.”She smiled as she took her seat majestically, “don't kid with me Mr Vance. I didn't come here to eat.”“Right, so let's not waste our time. I will give you a villa on the coast.” He offered.“That's lovely.” She smiled and asked, “Does it have a view of the water?”Everyone in the room knew she was joking. And for the tenth time in his life, Jenson wondered how Elliot could love someone like her. Since he's known Sandra, he had never been able to read her. You could never tell if she was serious or just bluffing.“If that isn't to your taste, I'm willing to give you a controlling share in a subsidiary.”Sandra laughed. “What do you think I am, Mr Vance?”“How about three subsidiaries? That should be enough for a woman as big-mouthed as you.”Sandra scoffed. “You are
FROM DISCARDED WIFE TO UNTOUCHABLE WOMAN I Have Arrived
Elliot's POVNobody spoke.I let the silence stand. It had always been my most reliable weapon, and for once I had no wish to use it. I only wished it would hold a little longer."Well?" Father said. "Speak.""Sandra is back."It was strange. I'd spent part of last night rehearsing how to say it, and in the end it came out sounding almost mundane, like announcing a change in the weather.Aunt Rose gasped. Uncle Zeke's arms came unfolded. In the far corner of the table, Finn lifted both eyebrows with an air of private delight."I beg your pardon?" Father said."She arrived in New York yesterday. She's staying in the city." I kept my voice even. "She came to see me last night. She's asked me to announce her return to the board and the family.""Announce her return?""To her position.""Absolutely not!" Jenson was on his feet.He'd been silent until then, and now he'd come to life with a force that made the glasses rattle on the table. "She will not set foot in that building. Not while I
FROM DISCARDED WIFE TO UNTOUCHABLE WOMAN Worthy of Your Anger
Sandra folded the page with two neat creases and slid it back into her clutch."Forty-eight hours," she said.Elliot didn't answer. He stood with his back against the door and the smell of whisky still hanging in the air."You'll gather the board and your family, and you'll tell them I've returned." She snapped the clasp shut. "Two days should be generous.""And admit I signed everything over to you?""Yes.""In front of my father?""In front of whoever you like." She shrugged, a small elegant movement. "I don't care what you admit, Elliot. I only care that it's done."She crossed the room and paused at the door. For a moment she looked at him, and something unreadable moved behind her eyes, there and gone."Goodnight," she said.Her heels clicked down the corridor, fading slowly.Elliot stood where he was.She didn't ask for money. Just the position.He couldn't make it fit. Sandra had always wanted something, a favour, a concession, a bargain. For two years he'd imagined this conver
