“Do you want to hear what he came to say?” Damien asked.

“Yes.” Not because I hoped Ethan would ask for me back. I’d spent too long learning the truth about my own life through other people, through Ava’s texts and my father’s calls and Ethan’s mother’s careful manipulations. This time I wanted to hear it directly.

Damien told security to let him up. “Do you want me to stay?” he asked.

“I want to speak to him alone,” I said. “But not secretly.” We stayed in the open sitting room, the balcony do

  • He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy   Chapter 265: I Made It Home for Dinner

    I made it back to the regional site with just enough time to finish the pieces of the revised proposal that genuinely needed my attention, leaving the rest of the budget preparation squarely in Claire's hands. She glanced at me twice while I gathered my things, checking the clock on the wall a third time before I'd even finished packing my bag."You keep looking at the time," Claire said."I have somewhere to be.""You never have somewhere to be. You usually stay until the office empties around you." She said it without any real accusation, more curious than critical, and I felt a small, private satisfaction at being able to answer her honestly."Tonight's different.""Clearly." She waved me off with the particular ease of someone entirely capable of handling what remained without me hovering over her shoulder. "Go. I've got the rest of this."I left when I said I would, no last-minute crisis pulling me back through the door, no email demanding one more response before I could reasona

  • He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy   Chapter 264: My Husband Had Been Waiting

    I stepped away from Claire and called him immediately, my thumb hovering over his name for only a second before pressing it. He answered on the second ring, his voice composed, occupied but not cold, the particular tone of a man mid-conversation with someone else in the room."I forgot," I said, before he could say anything at all. "Damien, I completely forgot about lunch. I'm so sorry.""I gathered as much," he said, dry humor threading through it despite everything. "The restaurant began clearing our table around one thirty, which felt like a reasonably clear signal.""I should have called earlier.""You should have," he agreed, no bite in it, simply plain acknowledgment. "The regional problem sounded important, though, from what little you managed to tell me this morning. We can have lunch another time."His reasonableness made everything worse somehow, the easy forgiveness sitting uncomfortably against something quieter underneath it that I could hear even through the phone. "Are

  • He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy   Chapter 263: Money Could Not Make Me Move Faster

    The funding representative had nearly reached the door when I asked her to wait. She turned back with one hand still resting on the handle, while the regional partner lowered himself into his chair again with the weary expression of a man expecting another argument. Claire and Grace stayed where they were, watching me carefully."I'm not keeping the original launch date," I said. "More money wouldn't make this team ready faster, and the possibility of losing money doesn't change that. But a delayed launch doesn't have to mean we do nothing until the full programme opens."The funder released the door and faced me properly. "What are you proposing?"I pulled the abandoned notepad toward me, turning to a clean page. "The partner already has people asking for help. We can start weekly information sessions here without calling them New Ground enrolment. People can learn what support currently exists, get referred to services that are already operating and leave their contact details if th

  • He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy   Chapter 262: I Had To Break My Own Promise

    I called the meeting for that afternoon, all four of them gathered around the small conference table at the regional site, and started without softening anything first. "There are two separate problems here," I said. "The partner's announcement needs to come down immediately, with a public correction that takes responsibility rather than blaming anyone who believed it. And New Ground's own approved launch date has to move as well, because this team isn't ready, and I committed to that timeline before I'd confirmed it was actually safe to promise."The partner's expression shifted immediately, some defensive edge rising before I'd even finished speaking. "Pulling the announcement now looks worse than leaving it up," he said. "We've generated real attention. If we retract it entirely, people will assume something's wrong internally, and the next time we announce anything, they won't believe us.""Something is wrong internally," Grace said, not unkindly, but without hesitation either. "T

  • He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy   Chapter 261: I Was Wrong

    Grace met us at the door before we'd even parked properly, no time wasted on pleasantries, gesturing us inside with the particular urgency of someone in the middle of something she couldn't pause for our arrival. The office phone rang twice before we'd crossed the threshold, one of her staff members answering with visible strain in her voice, trying to explain gently to whoever was on the line that registration hadn't actually opened yet despite what they'd seen online."That's the fourth call this morning," Grace said, leading us further inside. "We've had two people come in physically as well. One woman brought her daughter's paperwork already filled out, ready to submit, because she genuinely believed we were opening today."I watched Grace handle the woman herself a few minutes later, patient and honest, explaining clearly that the announcement hadn't come from New Ground and that she couldn't yet promise a firm date, while still treating the woman's disappointment with visible ca

  • He Chose My Sister, So I Married His Enemy   Chapter 260: Claire Wasn’t Calling to Congratulate Me

    I arrived at New Ground still carrying the toast Damien had made me promise to finish, one bite gone from it despite my best intentions, and set it down on my desk while Claire waited by the door with a laptop already open. My phone buzzed before I'd fully sat down, Damien's message brief and predictable, asking whether I'd actually eaten breakfast the way I'd promised. I snapped a quick photo of the toast's ruined remains and sent it back without comment, then set the phone aside properly and turned my full attention toward Claire."Show me," I said.She turned the laptop around, and I found myself staring at a promotional post from our first regional partner organisation, professionally designed, publicly shared, already gathering comments and shares from people in the community. It announced New Ground's launch with a specific date, weeks earlier than our internal timeline, and promised places for interested participants starting immediately."They posted this themselves," Claire s
