HIS MISTRESS, MY REVENGE Book 2: Chapter 86: The Emergency
Ethan's POVAmelia looked at her dress.Then she looked at me.She did not say anything for two seconds, which was long enough for me to see the exact composure her face was doing, the specific stillness of a woman who had understood, in the second before I did, what was happening and had already begun to spend her first breath deciding how to describe it to me without frightening me.I did not give her the second breath."How much.""A little. Not a lot. Enough.""Cabin. Now."I unbuckled her seatbelt. I helped her stand up. I walked her to the small private cabin at the back of the jet, and I laid her down on the flat bed, and I pressed the intercom for the pilot."Captain. This is Ethan Vale. My wife is thirty two weeks pregnant and she is bleeding. It is not catastrophic. It is not nothing. I need you to raise New York air traffic control, request emergency medical priority, and I need you to have a labor and delivery team standing on the tarmac at Teterboro the second we land. I
HIS MISTRESS, MY REVENGE Book 2: Chapter 85: The Room In Milan
The flight took seven hours and eleven minutes.I slept for four of them, because Ethan had put a small pillow behind my back and told me, quietly, that if I did not sleep before we landed he would turn the plane around, and I had understood he meant it.We landed at Milan Malpensa at nine in the morning local time.Chiara Bianchi met us at the private terminal in a dark suit. She led us to a car. Sophia was in the back seat. Nathan was in the front. We drove north for two hours, through fog that thickened as we climbed. By eleven in the morning we were at a detention facility outside Bolzano, and I was walking through a doorway I had not thought I would ever walk through in my life.They took me to a small square room.It had four walls, a table, two chairs, and a window covered in wire mesh. There was no camera in the corner. Chiara had specifically arranged that. My conversation with Delphine was not going to be recorded. A Milan bureau interpreter was in the corner, whose confiden
HIS MISTRESS, MY REVENGE Book 2: Chapter 84: The Fugitive
Amelia's POVDamien came back to my house at four seventeen.He did not sit down. He stood in the coat he had left in, and he told me that Harold had admitted to being approached twice. He named the events. He named the dates. He did not defend his father. He simply put the two dates on my coffee table the way Nathan had put ledger pages on my desk two nights earlier, and he waited for me to say something.I did not say anything.I looked at the dates. Sinclair Group anniversary, 2019. Milan launch, 2021. Both events I remembered clearly. Both events at which Harold had been in the room, and had spoken to me pleasantly, and had asked, at the Milan launch specifically, whether Noah was enjoying his first summer in Italy. He had smiled. He had not said a word about the approach.I let it sit.Ethan brought a fresh pot of tea. Damien sat down finally. Noah came downstairs briefly, asked if I needed anything, was told no, and went back upstairs with the specific tact he had been showing a
HIS MISTRESS, MY REVENGE Book 2: Chapter 83: Harold's Letter
Damien's POVAmelia called me at eleven oh two.She did not say hello. She said, "Beatrice was here. She left an envelope. Come over. Now. I want you in the room when I open it."I was at her house in twenty three minutes.Ethan opened the door. He nodded me toward the front room without a word. Amelia was on the couch, in the same position she had been in for two days, doctor's orders, the envelope on the coffee table in front of her, still sealed. Noah was upstairs. Ethan sat down in the armchair to my right. I sat down on the couch beside Amelia, close enough that she could hand me the pages when she was ready and far enough that she could refuse to hand them over if she changed her mind.She opened it.There were three pages.Harold's hand. My father's specific loop on the capital H. Ink faded to a soft blue. Dated the twelfth of August, 2018.Amelia read the first paragraph aloud, quietly, and then she handed the pages to me because her voice had gone dry on the second sentence,
HIS MISTRESS, MY REVENGE Book 2: Chapter 82: The Apology
Amelia's POV Beatrice arrived at my house at ten twenty seven the following morning. She did not call ahead. She did not send Damien to warn me. She did not use the intercom. She walked up the front path, in the same grey coat Damien had described from her visit to his office the previous night, and she pressed the doorbell once, and she stood on my porch with her hands folded in front of her in the specific way she had folded them at the door of my office two years ago. I saw her through the front window before Ethan answered the door. Ethan looked at me. "Amelia. You are on the couch. I can send her away." "Let her in." He opened the door. Beatrice stepped into my house for the first time in eight years. She looked around the entryway briefly, at the photographs of Noah on the wall, and did not comment on any of it, because she had learned, in the two years since her first apology, that commenting on the shape of a life she had once tried to break was not a thing she was pe
HIS MISTRESS, MY REVENGE Book 2: Chapter 81: The Mother She Once Knew
Damien's POVI heard about Delphine at six eighteen.Ethan called me from the couch beside Amelia. He put me on speaker. Sophia repeated the sentence I had just heard secondhand, and I sat at my desk with the phone in my hand for a full second before I answered, because I had already begun to understand, in the tired way I had learned to understand these things, that a woman who had spent seventeen years planning an operation of this size had almost certainly been prepared for the possibility of running."Nathan."Nathan came on the line from Milan. "We know. The Italian police are working the airports. Chiara has flagged every private aviation registry. Delphine has three known residences in Europe, two in the Middle East, one in South America. We are watching all of them.""But you cannot find her.""Not tonight. We will."I ended the call.I sat in my office in the dark for a long time.I had a therapy session at eight thirty. I had not missed one in eleven months, since Dr. Webb h
HIS MISTRESS, MY REVENGE Chapter Two: He Came Home With Her
I am still at the table when morning comes.I did not plan to stay. At some point in the night I told myself I would get up, clear the plates, blow out what was left of the candles, go upstairs and take the blue dress off and lie down like a person with some dignity. I told myself that somewhere ar
HIS MISTRESS, MY REVENGE Chapter One: The Birthday He Forgot
The candles are still burning.Two little flames sitting in the center of the dining table. I have been watching them for a while now. Not because they are beautiful, but because watching them gives me something to do other than check the door.The food went cold an hour ago. The wine I opened at s
HIS MISTRESS, MY REVENGE Chapter Five: The Baby He Wanted Gone
Sophia arrived within the hour of me calling her, walked through the curtain still in her work clothes, sat down beside me and took my hand and did not say I told you so even though she had every right to.Damien did not come back.Not that afternoon. Not that evening. Sophia was the one who stayed
HIS MISTRESS, MY REVENGE Chapter Three: A Guest Who Became a Queen
It had barely been an hour. Vanessa was already on the sofa, one hand resting on her stomach, completely at ease, like she had been sitting in that spot for years. And that was when I heard her voice carry in from the sitting room, warm and unhurried, the tone of someone who had already decided thi
