The recipe book stayed in my lap the whole drive home. I kept touching the cover without meaning to, like I needed to check it was still real.

Damien drove in silence, but it wasn’t an uncomfortable one. It was the kind of quiet that didn’t ask anything of me, the kind I hadn’t realized I’d been missing until I had it.

“What did your grandmother mean?” I finally asked.

He didn’t need me to repeat the line. I watched something flicker across his face, brief and controlled, before he answered. “N

  • He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy   Chapter 127: The Woman I Helped Had Given Me a Different Name

    I lay there for a long time after Charlotte's last message, running the words over until they stopped feeling like a stranger's sentence and started feeling like something I had to actually do something about.And according to my mother, you never knew her real name.I got up before I'd fully decided to. Damien woke properly the moment my side of the bed went cold, propping himself up on one elbow, watching me pull on the first clothes I found."Where are you going?""To find a woman whose name apparently wasn't her name."He was up and dressed within a couple of minutes, no questions about whether this could wait until morning, and I told him he didn't have to come."I know," he said, and came anyway.We found the old storage box in the back of the closet I never opened, years of notebooks and printed emails and case files I'd kept out of some instinct I'd never examined too closely. I hadn't touched most of it since before Ethan, back when I was junior enough at the women's health i

  • He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy   Chapter 126: My Husband Had Noting to Do With Why She Wanted Me

    I read Charlotte's message three times before I trusted myself to type anything back, mostly because my first instinct was to assume this was somehow, in some roundabout way, still about Damien.What does your mother want with Olivia Hart?Her reply came quickly enough that I suspected she'd been waiting for the question.That's the question you should ask her. But I can tell you one thing. It has nothing to do with Damien.I read it out loud, and Damien, reading over my shoulder, went as quiet as I felt."That eliminates most of my working theories," he admitted."You had theories?""Several. All of them involved me."I laughed despite myself, mostly at the mild wounded pride in his voice, and started running through possibilities out loud while he listened, arms crossed, genuinely stumped for what felt like the first time in weeks. He knew Mrs. Whitfield socially, had known her for years, and had absolutely no idea why she'd take a personal interest in the woman he'd married beyond

  • He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy   Chapter 125: My Husband Kissed Her to See If He Could Want Her

    Damien took the phone back and read the message again, frowning at it like it might rearrange itself into something less damning on a second pass.“I haven’t lied about anything.”“You told me her mother engineered the kiss so thoroughly you were fairly certain she’d rehearsed the lighting.”He paused, just slightly, in the exact way that told me everything before he’d said a single additional word.“Oh my God.”“What?”“You kissed her.”“That is an unnecessarily accusatory way to describe a kiss I already admitted happened.”“You made it sound like you were an innocent civilian caught in an arranged-marriage ambush.”He had the grace to look faintly uncomfortable, which I found endlessly satisfying given that this was a man who could sit across a negotiating table from people trying to dismantle his company and not so much as loosen his tie, and yet here he was, cornered by one stupid kiss from his twenties.“Mrs. Whitfield absolutely engineered the circumstances,” he admitted eventu

  • He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy   Chapter 124: The Woman Who Wanted My Husband Chose My Dress

    I braced myself for something about Damien and Charlotte, some old entanglement Mrs. Whitfield had decided I deserved to hear from her rather than discover in a room full of strangers."Charlotte knows you're coming," she said."I know.""What you don't know is that she specifically asked me to make sure you did."That wasn't the sentence I'd prepared for. I sat up a little straighter, phone pressed to my ear, and glanced at Damien, who looked equally thrown by the direction this had taken.Mrs. Whitfield continued before I could ask the obvious question. Charlotte, apparently, had personally requested that Damien and I be seated with the family, a request Mrs. Whitfield admitted she'd initially thought was inappropriate given everything between their families. Charlotte had insisted anyway."She wants to meet you," Mrs. Whitfield said.I looked at Damien again. He shook his head slightly, a wordless confirmation that this was news to him too, which somehow made the whole thing more i

  • He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy   Chapter 123: My Husband Put My Name Somewhere I Didn’t Expect

    I was going through the latest set of architect's documents at the kitchen table, mostly checking whether he'd finally caved on the reading room window, when I found my own name sitting where I hadn't expected it.Final design consultation: Damien Black, Olivia Black.I read it twice before I actually understood what I was looking at."Why is my name on your building?"Damien glanced up from his laptop, entirely unbothered, as though I'd asked him something as unremarkable as whether he wanted coffee. "Our building.""This was your dream long before you knew I existed. I don't want to take something that's actually yours and turn it into one more thing that revolves around our marriage.""I haven't given you ownership. The architect needs someone to sign off on final decisions, and I told them you'd be consulted." He said it plainly, like the logic was obvious and I was the one being difficult about it. "You don't need permission to sign a form, Olivia.""You don't need my permission

  • He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy   Chapter 122: My Husband Asked Me to Choose Something for Him

    I found him standing in the middle of our bedroom surrounded by more suits than one dinner could possibly require, and my first thought was that something had gone seriously wrong, because Damien Black did not stand around looking uncertain about clothing."Is everything all right?""Choose one."I assumed, reasonably, that he wanted my opinion between two options he'd already narrowed it down to. Instead he gestured at the entire spread laid across the bed, three suits, several shirts, a small graveyard of ties draped over the footboard, waiting for a verdict."Why?" I asked."Because I want to know what my wife likes looking at."I decided, immediately, that I was taking this assignment far more seriously than the situation required.I rejected the first suit because it made him look like he was about to fire someone, which he informed me was an unfair criticism given that he occasionally had to do exactly that. I rejected the second because the cut did something to his shoulders th
