Goodbye Ex, I Married Your Uncle! CHAPTER 46 The Papers Don’t Lie
LILA’S POVMy heart was beating so hard it felt painful, but I refused to let anyone see that. Not here. Not in Tra Que’s glass conference room, where anyone passing by could look in and see my personal life falling apart again.I took a breath and looked at Jason. “We’ll talk. But not here.”His eyes narrowed. “Where?”“Outside,” I said. “I’m not creating a scene in my workplace.”For a second, I thought he might argue. Then he nodded.I turned to Luke. “It’s okay.”Luke’s expression said he disagreed.“Lila—”“I’ll be right outside,” I said gently. “I promise.”He looked between Jason and me, then gave a reluctant nod. “I’ll be close.”Jason scoffed, but I ignored him.As we walked through the office, I kept my face calm. People glanced up from their desks. A few smiled politely. No one knew that my stomach was twisting with every step.Your husband isn’t what he seems.What had Jason found?I led him to a small bench near the side of the building, partly hidden by potted palms an
Goodbye Ex, I Married Your Uncle! CHAPTER 45 When Will He Leave Me Alone?
LILA’S POVThe next morning, I dressed for work and went downstairs. The smell of breakfast reached me before I entered the dining room. Toasted bread, eggs, coffee, and fruit. Everything had already been laid out with the quiet perfection of Adrian’s house.Then I saw them.Adrian and Vanessa were already at the table.They were sitting close together, shoulders nearly touching, bent over some document between them. Vanessa’s hair was brushed and tied loosely at the back of her neck. She looked better than she had the night before, but her face was still pale, her eyes still red from crying.Adrian was speaking softly to her, one finger resting on a line in the document.My steps slowed.Then Adrian looked up. The second he saw me, he stood.“Good morning,” he said.The suddenness of it made Vanessa look up, too.“Good morning,” I replied, keeping my voice steady. “Morning, Vanessa.”Vanessa gave me a small nod. “Morning.”I took the seat across from them and placed my handbag near
Goodbye Ex, I Married Your Uncle! CHAPTER 44 Adrian’s Girlfriend
LILA’S POVThe doorbell rang while I was upstairs.I was sitting cross-legged on my bed with my laptop open, working on the recipe book Anita had entrusted to me. The bell rang again.Then I heard movement downstairs. Footsteps. A low voice. The front door opening.I expected one of the staff to handle it, so I continued working. I was trying to decide whether the Christmas recipe book needed five sections or six when I heard crying.My hands stilled over the keyboard.For a moment, I sat there listening. Then I closed my laptop halfway and got up.By the time I reached the stairs, the crying had softened, but not stopped. I moved down carefully, one hand on the railing, and looked toward the living room.Adrian was sitting on the couch.A woman was in his arms.She was blonde, slightly short, and folded into him like she had nowhere else in the world to stand. Her face was pressed against his shoulder, and his arm was wrapped around her back while his other hand rested gently on her
Goodbye Ex, I Married Your Uncle! CHAPTER 43 My Best Friend’s Divorce
ADRIAN’S POVI was halfway through fastening my cufflinks when the doorbell rang. I glanced at my watch and frowned. I was already running late.Tonight was Ambrosia’s annual stakeholder dinner, and for the first time, I would be attending as chairman. This was, essentially, a party where I’d be the piñata. Investors and partners would be assessing me, judging me, gauging whether I’d be an easy target or a tough boss. I had no patience for it, but I had to go.The doorbell rang again.Then came a frantic series of knocks.I crossed the hall quickly. By the time I reached the door, the knocking had turned into something close to panic.I opened it.A woman stood on the doorstep, drenched from the light rain, hair sticking to her face, mascara running down her cheeks. For one second, I simply stared.“Vanessa?”Her face crumpled.“Adrian,” she whispered.Then she broke.She stepped forward and collapsed against me, sobbing so hard her whole body shook. I caught her automatically, one a
Goodbye Ex, I Married Your Uncle! CHAPTER 42 Into The Fire
LILA’S POVBy the end of my first week at Tra Que, I had learned three things.One, Anita Tran did not believe in hand-holding.Two, business crises did not wait politely for anyone to feel ready.And three… I loved it.I liked listening to a problem and slowly finding its root. I liked watching Anita turn chaos into clear, practical steps. I liked realizing that leadership was not some magical trait people were born with, but a muscle you can train.That morning, the whole team was gathered in the main meeting room. On the table were samples of Tra Que’s holiday products: cinnamon chocolate, spiced coffee cans, ginger cookies, lotus chips, and little tins of cardamom, clove, nutmeg, and star anise.One of Anita’s marketing employees, Clara, pushed a mockup across the table.“I think we should release a Christmas recipe book,” she said. “Ways to use our spices, chocolates, coffee, all of it.”Anita picked up the mockup and flipped through it.The room went quiet.I watched her face ca
Goodbye Ex, I Married Your Uncle! CHAPTER 41 The Old-Fashioned Way
LILA’S POV“The number you are trying to reach is currently switched off.”I lowered my phone.It had been two days since Jason publicly declared he still loved me, and the city decided my life was a romance drama that needed audience voting. Two days since I decided, against my better judgment, that I wanted one honest answer from him.And now he had vanished.A knock sounded on the car window.I jumped.Taylor stood outside, expression calm as ever. He opened the door for me. “Mrs. Shepard. We’re here.”I looked past him at the building.Tra Que’s headquarters was not as intimidating as Ambrosia. It was smaller, warmer, and far more alive. The entrance had pale wood panels, plants everywhere, and glass shelves displaying neat tins of tea, jars of spices, coffee cans, packets of lotus chips, and pretty boxes of cookies tied with green ribbon.I stepped out of the car and slipped my phone into my bag.Jason could wait… my future could not.Inside, Anita Tran was already waiting for me
Goodbye Ex, I Married Your Uncle! CHAPTER 24 Pretty Girls Break Too
CHLOE’S POVThe first thing to break was not the business… it was my circle. It didn’t happen all at once; atleast that would have been honest. No, it happened so quietly and elegantly that I almost didn’t notice it. Group chats slowed down. Replies came later. Invitations stopped arriving. Girls
Goodbye Ex, I Married Your Uncle! CHAPTER 21 Public Wife, Public War
ADRIAN’S POVBy the time I got Lila out of the cameras and into the car, the city had already begun to do what it did best.Talk.I could practically feel it spreading through the streets, through office lobbies, group chats, and family dinner tables. My marriage. My wife. Her face. My hand on her
Goodbye Ex, I Married Your Uncle! CHAPTER 15 What Have I Done?
JASON’S POVThe boardroom had gone so quiet I could hear the air conditioner humming overhead, and yet somehow his words still felt unreal.I’m married.I stared at him. “When the hell did that happen?”“I don’t enjoy making a spectacle of my private life,” Adrian said coolly. “So I didn’t announce
Goodbye Ex, I Married Your Uncle! CHAPTER 12 No One Hurts My Wife
LILA’S POVI forced a small smile. “It’s nothing,” I said quickly. “I tripped.”His eyes lifted to mine. I felt the weight of that look all the way to my spine.“You tripped,” he repeated.“Yes.” I nodded, trying to sound casual. “I can be pretty clumsy sometimes,” I laughed, hoping to ease the ten
