Five Years After Divorce, My Ex-Husband Wants Me Again Chapter 90
CharlieMarcus sat behind the steering wheel.The manila folder rested between us on the center console. My hand remained on it through most of the drive, even though I hadn't opened it since leaving the office."We're almost there." Marcus slowed the car as he turned into a quiet medical complex.I looked through the windshield.The building was smaller than I expected. The brass directory beside the entrance listed only a handful of specialists.Marcus shifted the car into park."He retired three years ago."I looked at him."How did you find him?""I started with the hospital." Marcus reached for the folder. "Most of the records from that period had already been archived. One of the administrators remembered where he went after retirement."He stepped out of the car.I followed him inside.The receptionist looked up from behind her desk."Good afternoon."Marcus offered a polite nod."We're here to see Dr. Howard Ellis.""Do you have an appointment?"Marcus slid a business card acr

lCharlie The interview ended.The television screen faded to black.I remained where I was, one hand resting against the edge of my desk.My reflection stared back at me from the dark screen.The office around me disappeared.One sentence kept returning."This... is what I received for saving Charlie."My fingers tightened against the wood until the muscles in my forearm began to ache.The scar… I had seen it.I heard her voice again."The rock caught my wrist while I was trying to pull Charlie out of the river."I drew a breath that never seemed to reach my lungs.For years, I had thanked Celeste.For years, I had looked at Nora and seen someone capable of pushing another person down a flight of stairs.I closed my eyes.The image of Nora rolling back the sleeve of her blouse refused to leave me.That scar had been there all along.I had seen it. I had asked her about it.She told me it happened when she was a child.I never asked another question.My hand slipped from the desk.The

NoraVictoria remained quiet after my challenge.The studio lights reflected across the polished floor as every camera stayed fixed on the stage.Victoria rested her cue cards on the table and looked at me."Ms. Vance..."I met her eyes."If the staircase wasn't the beginning..." she drew a measured breath. "Then when did all of this start?"I lowered her eyes to my hands. When I looked up again, I voice carried evenly across the studio."Our hatred didn't begin on the stairs."Victoria didn't interrupt.I held her gaze for a moment before continuing."It began years earlier."No one behind the cameras spoke.The production crew remained where they stood.Even the audience sat without shifting in their seats.Victoria folded her hands together."How many years earlier?"My shoulders rose with a slow breath before settling again."We were children."Victoria inclined her head. "Tell us what happened."I looked toward the center camera.For the first time since the interview began, my a

The cameras remained fixed on Nora.Victoria looked at her for several seconds before speaking again."A moment ago, you said you could prove what happened that night."Nora inclined her head."I did."Victoria rested her cue cards on the table."What evidence are you talking about?"Nora folded her hands neatly in her lap."My sister has spent the last nine years asking people to believe her."She lifted her eyes to Victoria."I'm only asking them to look at the facts."Victoria waited.Nora continued without raising her voice."The biggest lie wasn't what happened on those stairs."A faint murmur drifted through the studio.Victoria didn't interrupt."The biggest lie came afterward." Her fingers remained lightly interlocked. "Celeste was never paralyzed."Victoria's lips parted slightly."Mrs. Vance..."She glanced down at her notes before looking back up."Are you saying your sister fabricated her paralysis?""Yes."The answer came without hesitation.Victoria held her gaze."That'

NoraDaniel guided the car into the television studio's underground entrance before bringing it to a smooth stop.The crowd waiting outside was already visible through the security monitors mounted beside the gate.Camera flashes lit the screen one after another.Daniel shifted into park and looked at me through the rearview mirror."We're here."I nodded and reached for my handbag.The phone inside vibrated once with a new message.Victoria: Security is waiting at the entrance. Take your time.I locked the screen and slipped the phone back into my bag.Daniel stepped out first.The rear door opened a moment later.Noise rushed toward me before I had both feet on the ground."Nora!""Mrs. Vance!""Did you push your sister?""Why did you stay silent for six years?""Are you here to deny everything?"Security officers formed a path through the crowd.Microphones stretched toward me from every direction.Camera shutters rose and fell in a constant rhythm.I adjusted my handbag and contin

NoraDaniel kept both hands on the steering wheel as the car moved through the evening traffic.My phone vibrated against the leather seat beside me.It was an unknown number.The screen continued to glow until I picked it up."Hello.""Miss Vance," a voice remained gentle. "Thank you for answering. This is Victoria.” I rested my elbow against the door and looked back toward the road ahead."What can I do for you?""I won't keep you long. I've watched everything unfold today."My fingers settled more firmly around the phone."I imagine you have."Victoria drew a quiet breath."People deserve to hear your side of the story.""There's nothing to talk about.""There is."She didn't rush the words."You've stayed silent for years."My grip tightened around the phone."Nora..."I closed my eyes."Maybe it's time...""No."The word left my mouth before she could finish.Victoria remained on the line."I know this isn't easy."I opened my eyes again."It isn't happening.""Nora—""I appreci

NORA The question was still unanswered. A hundred cameras were pointed at my face. Edward stood at the side of the stage, looking as though he wanted to cut the microphone himself. I did not give him the chance. I had two choices. I could be the girl who ran from the Sinclair house with nothin

NORA The black SUV turned through the gates, the tires crunching over white gravel. Before the vehicle had even come to a full stop in front of the front step, the rear door handles clicked. "Lena, wait for the step," I said, but the warning was already useless. Lena spilled out of the car fi

NORA The wheels hit the floor with a jarring thud, the vibration traveling up through the floorboards and into the soles of my shoes. Theo was a heavy weight against my left shoulder, his breathing deep in sleep. To my right, Lena sat in the aisle seat, studying the safety card. She held it upsid

THIRD POVCharlie was awake at five-forty in the morning. He sat on the edge of the bed and watched Nora sleep. The storm that had rattled the windows all night had finally passed. The power was back on, casting a soft, artificial glow over the room. The sheet was pulled around her shoulders, and
