NORA

By the time I stepped back into the garden, whatever had happened between Daniel and Charlie was already over.

The two men stood several feet apart. Neither of them was speaking.

The party continued uninterrupted. Children ran between tables, music drifted across the lawn, and people continued talking as though nothing happened.

Daniel glanced once toward the party befor

  • Five Years After Divorce, My Ex-Husband Wants Me Again   Chapter 99

    Nora Several days passed after Gregory's arrest. Life settled into a quieter rhythm. Charlie never called asking for another chance. He never waited outside my office. He never searched for reasons to keep me talking. Instead, he showed up where he was needed. Some mornings I found him at the hospital sitting beside Alexander's bed while Margaret spoke with the doctors. Other afternoons he drove Dad to his appointments and stayed until everything was finished. Whenever Lena and Theo wanted to visit Alexander, Charlie came too. He never assumed he belonged. He simply asked Victor whether the children were ready to leave before opening the car door for them. If they wanted to talk, he listened. If they wanted silence, he gave them silence. He never asked me to notice. That afternoon I stepped into the garden behind the house. Victor had turned one of Theo's bicycles upside down on the grass. Charlie knelt beside it with a wrench in his hand. Theo stood beside him. "If

    NoraSeveral days had passed since the attack.Alexander remained in the hospital. Every morning began with a visit to his room before I went to Beaumont, and every evening ended the same way. He was still unconscious.Every evening ended the same way.He was still unconscious.Bernard sat opposite me in my office. He had arrived from London after hearing about the attack on the children.The police told us Vivienne had refused to cooperate. Every allegation had been met with the same answer.Bernard looked up from the document he was reading."They've questioned her six times."He removed his glasses and set them on the desk."Every interview ends within minutes."I looked at the report again."She hasn't answered a single meaningful question.""No."Bernard leaned back in his chair."She's protecting someone."Bernard lifted his eyes."Who could that be?"I looked at the closed file beneath my hand."Her daughter."I arrived at police headquarters less than an hour later.The lead

    Gregory sat alone at the far end of Beaumont Group's boardroom.The folders prepared for the emergency meeting remained unopened before him.Around the table, directors avoided his eyes.The senior director cleared his throat."Before we proceed, I'd like to know whether the motion still has enough support to move forward."No one answered immediately.One director adjusted his glasses.Another closed the report in front of him.Finally, Director Hayes looked across the table."I've changed my vote."Gregory didn't move.Hayes folded his hands together."I support Ms. Vance."Another director nodded."So do I."A third voice followed."My position has changed as well."One by one, directors who had privately backed Gregory withdrew their support.The senior director made several notes before looking up."It appears the motion no longer has sufficient votes."He closed the file."The emergency vote will not proceed."The meeting had ended before it truly began.Gregory rested both hand

    CharlieA knock sounded against my office door.I looked up from the file in front of me."Come in."My secretary stepped inside."Mr. Sinclair, your mother is here."My hand stopped on the document."My mother?""Yes."I nodded."Please send her in."She stepped aside as Mum entered the office.She carried a large sealed envelope against her side.The moment our eyes met, I knew she hadn't come for a casual visit."Mother.""Charlie."I walked around the desk."Please, have a seat."She shook her head."I won't stay long."She crossed the room and placed the envelope on my desk.The paper landed softly between us.My eyes dropped to it."There is something you need to know."I looked back at her."What is it?"She nodded toward the envelope."Open it."I slipped a finger beneath the seal and drew out a document.The heading caught my attention immediately.DNA Paternity Test ReportA line formed between my brows.My eyes moved lower. The report listed two names.Lena Beaumont and Th

    Morning arrived beneath a sky covered by low gray clouds.Three police vehicles turned into the driveway of the Vance residence before stopping one behind the other.The engines fell silent.The lead detective stepped out first. Two uniformed officers followed, while another remained beside the final vehicle.The detective walked toward the front door with an arrest warrant in his hand.He raised his knuckles to knock.Before they reached the wood, the door opened.Vivienne stood on the other side.She wore a cream blouse beneath a dark cardigan. Her hair had been gathered neatly behind her head, and one hand still rested on the doorknob.Her eyes moved from the detective to the officers waiting behind him."Mrs. Vivienne Vance?" The detective held up his identification before lowering it again."Yes." She kept one hand on the door as she answered."My name is Detective Harris." He unfolded the warrant and held it where she could read it. "I have a warrant for your arrest."Vivienne l

    CHARLIEMonday should have been productive. I had already attended three meetings, reviewed two acquisition reports, and answered enough emails to satisfy everyone who expected immediate responses from a Sinclair, but by afternoon I could barely remember half the conversations I had participated i

    NORA I was already dressed in workout clothes when my phone vibrated against the nightstand on Sunday morning. The message waiting at the top of the screen came from Grandfather Beaumont. *Nora. Family dinner by evening for your aunt's birthday. Bring the children. Don't be late.* I rolled o

    NORAI stood in the corridor of Mercy General, and I was soaked to the bone. My hair was plastered to my face, and every time I moved, my shoes made a heavy sound on the floor. The nurse who called me was waiting at the ICU doors. She looked at my wet clothes, then at my face, but she didn't say an
