Game Of Chess With My Ex-Husband's Uncle Chapter 100: What Grows in Silence
~ Vivienne's POVI did not book any flights.I had said it with the conviction of someone who meant it, and in the moment of saying it I had meant it, or had meant the feeling underneath it, the desperate need to put distance between myself and the proximity of everything that Lorenzo's world contained. But when I sat down the next morning with my laptop open and the travel search page loaded, I stared at the departure fields for a long time and then closed the laptop and made coffee instead.Dante was here. His school was here. His doctors were here, the team monitoring his recovery from the procedure, the follow-up appointments that were still ongoing and that I was not willing to interrupt for the sake of my own need to feel like I was taking decisive action. I told myself these were the reasons. They were real reasons. They were also, I was aware, doing some additional work beyond simply being true.So I stayed, and I avoided Lorenzo, and I discovered that avoiding Lorenzo Blackwe

Game Of Chess With My Ex-Husband's Uncle Chapter 99: Silence
~ Lorenzo's POVI did not deny it.This is the part that people would find difficult to understand, and I find that I have no particular interest in making it easy for them. The people in that doorway, the legal staff and the unknown woman and Marco with his performed horror, were all waiting for the denial, expecting it, because that is the sequence that follows an accusation in the experience of most people. Accusation arrives, denial follows, and then the negotiation between the two determines what the world decides to believe. I did not give them the sequence. I simply stood beside my father's chair and looked at Marco and said nothing, and watched the confusion that produced move through the room like weather.Marco recovered from the confusion quickly, because Marco was not unintelligent and he understood that my silence was a gift he had not expected to receive and that the correct response to an unexpected gift was to take it before it was rescinded.He turned to the people be
Game Of Chess With My Ex-Husband's Uncle Chapter 98: Blood and Stone
~ Lorenzo's POVI looked at the notification for a moment longer than I needed to.It was a message from a number I recognised as one of the internal lines from the Blackwell estate, used by the household staff for formal communications, the kind of number that did not send messages unless something required a physical presence that could not be arranged by any other means. The message itself was brief. Six words. The Chairman requests your attendance tonight. Urgent.I had received variations of this message before. I had ignored most of them. The relationship between myself and Richard Blackwell was not one that operated on the conventional frequencies of family obligation, and we had both understood that for long enough that the understanding had calcified into something resembling mutual respect, which was perhaps the most either of us had managed.But something about the specific word urgent, and the specific hour, and the specific day that had already contained more than its rea

Game Of Chess With My Ex-Husband's Uncle Chapter 58: Finally?
~ Lorenzo's POV In the 45 years that I'd been alive, I had never experienced a moment quite like this one. There had been many situations and experiences that had shaken me, surprised me, terrified me, gladdened me... But none of those situations felt infinitely close to what I was feeling now.

~ Lorenzo's POVHer weight on my lap was perfect—warm, soft, real. Her thighs straddled mine, the fabric of her dress bunched around her hips, and I could feel the heat of her core pressing against me through our clothes.My hands found her waist automatically, gripping her as she deepened the kiss

~ Lorenzo's POVI was drowning.That's what it felt like every year on this day—like being pulled under dark water, unable to breathe, unable to surface, unable to do anything except sink deeper and deeper into the abyss of memory and grief.Twenty-five years. Twenty-five fucking years, and it neve

~ Vivienne's POVThe credits rolled across the massive screen, the haunting soundtrack filling the silence between us. I hadn't absorbed a single frame of the last hour, my mind too occupied with the feeling of Lorenzo's hands on my skin, the taste of his mouth, the hard evidence of his desire pres
