HIS MISTRESS, MY REVENGE Book 2: Chapter 52: Serena's Truth
I closed the folder."Bring her to me."Damien did not ask which her. He picked up his phone.Serena arrived at my apartment inside two hours, brought under police escort at Nathan's arrangement, because the tender offer investigation had already generated enough legal cover for us to require her presence. She walked into my living room in a coat too thin for the weather, sat down in the chair I pointed at, and did not meet my eyes.Ethan stood behind me. Damien stood by the window. Nathan sat one seat over with his phone recording.I slid the Project Carter folder across the coffee table.Face up. Open. Her photograph on the top page. Her name typed cleanly at the bottom. The word ASSET printed above her head in a hand seventeen years older than she was.Serena went very still."You know what this is," I said. "You do not have to read it. You already know."She did not answer."Serena. Look at me. Not at Ethan. Not at Damien. Me. You have thirty seconds before this becomes a courtroo
HIS MISTRESS, MY REVENGE Book 2: Chapter 51: Project Carter
Amelia's POVDamien brought the folder to my house at four in the afternoon.He did not knock. Ethan opened the door before he could, because we had all been waiting for him since he had called from the vault two hours earlier, and none of us had pretended otherwise. He walked in with the folder in one hand and my name in capital letters on the red tab facing outward, and he set it on my kitchen table without a word, because there was nothing he could have said in that moment that would have made the file smaller than it was.I sat down.I opened it.The first thing I read was a two page summary written in Richard Blackwood's angular hand, dated seventeen years ago, describing me. Not in the way a rival describes a rival. In the way a naturalist describes a species he has just discovered. My habits. My speech patterns. The way I held a coffee cup. The three restaurants I had been observed eating at during the second trimester of my pregnancy. The two coats I had been wearing that autu
HIS MISTRESS, MY REVENGE Book 2: Chapter 50: The Original Plan
Damien's POVI did not answer Noah, because there was nothing honest I could say to a seventeen year old boy who had just correctly identified that the world had been arranging itself against his mother before he had drawn his first breath.I took the laptop from Ethan.I opened the photograph again. I studied it. I studied the angle. I studied the depth of field. I studied the coat Amelia had been wearing, which I remembered because I had given it to her the winter before, and I studied the streetlight above her head, which I remembered because I had been the one to walk past it every morning for the last decade of my useless life.The photograph had been taken from an office building across the street from the Sinclair house. From an upper floor. From a window that had, on that night, been occupied.Somebody had been sitting in a rented office in the fall of the year Noah had been conceived, at eleven at night, waiting for a woman to walk out of my family's front door, holding a pro
HIS MISTRESS, MY REVENGE Book 2: Chapter 49: Everything They Know
~Ethan's POV~Amelia did not speak for a long moment after I said it.She reached across the table, gently, and turned the laptop back toward me, and then she sat down in the chair beside me, and she said, in the specific voice she used when she needed the world to move at her speed instead of its own, "Show me what they took. All of it. Do not filter."I opened the folder tree.I clicked through every subfolder, and the four of us sat in the quiet horror of watching six days of downloads scroll past.They had taken the folder marked Noah, 2018 to 2025. Every school report. Every doctor's appointment. Every photograph Amelia had taken of him blowing out a birthday candle since he was ten years old.They had taken the folder marked Wedding. Every image from the day Amelia and I had gotten married, private, unpublished, the ones she had never shown a single member of the press.They had taken the folder marked Marriage, prior. The one I had never opened in the seven years we had been ma
HIS MISTRESS, MY REVENGE Book 2: Chapter 48: The Attack On His Future
Noah's POVThe email arrived at seven the next morning.Subject line: Regarding your application status.I opened it standing in the kitchen in yesterday's clothes, and I read it twice because the first time my brain refused to accept what it was telling me.My university offer had been suspended, pending review of a disciplinary matter flagged on my academic file."Mom."She came around the counter fast enough that her coffee slopped over the rim of the mug, and she read it over my shoulder, and I felt her go very still against my back the way a person goes still right before they stop being calm on purpose."What disciplinary matter.""I do not know. I have never had a disciplinary matter."She took the phone from me and called the school directly, on speaker, and the assistant principal who picked up sounded confused before she had finished her second sentence, because the file in front of her showed an incident report dated three days ago, alleging academic dishonesty on a final e
HIS MISTRESS, MY REVENGE Book 2: Chapter 47: Noah's Choice
~Noah's POV~My mother read the message twice before she said anything.If you want to save your mother, stop asking questions.She set the phone down on the counter very carefully, the way she set things down when she wanted her hands to look calmer than the rest of her, and she looked at me with an expression I recognized from every hard year of my life, the one that meant she was about to try to protect me from something by taking it away from me entirely."That is the end of your research," she said. "Effective immediately.""Mom.""Noah, I am not negotiating this.""You are not the only one they are trying to scare into silence." I kept my voice steady, because raising it would have proven her point for her. "If I stop now, they win twice. They stop me, and they teach themselves that threatening a seventeen year old works. I am not giving them that lesson."She did not have an answer ready. Ethan put a hand on her shoulder, and something unspoken passed between them, and she did
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 Four: The Morning She Collapsed
I did not sleep that night.I lay in the guest room and listened to them downstairs, his voice and hers, easy and low, the sound of two people completely at home with each other, until the house finally went quiet somewhere past midnight. Then I stared at the ceiling until morning came and did it a
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
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
