He Divorced Me, Now He's Begging for My Love 080: The Cost of Knowing
Aidan had looked at the Evergreen Children's Foundation donation portal a dozen times over the last two days. He was more than confused. He had pulled the records James had flagged. He had pulled the AS Tech founding account transactions from 2020, laid them side by side on his desk and looked at them until the pattern stopped being something he could tell himself wasn't there.The foundation was a channel obviouslyMoney in from somewhere dirty, into AS Tech. Cleaned. Legitimised.What would people say if they found that founding records of a company that was worth nine figures and employed four hundred people and had his name on every floor was into money laundering.He sat back in his chair.He pressed both hands over his face.He immediately called James."I need you to tell me something," Aidan said when James picked up."It's 11pm, Aidan""I know. I'm sorry."A pause."I need you to tell me what happens."James heard the strain in his voice.Aidan looked at the documents spread

The message came in the night. It had no name on it. No greeting. Just an address and a time.Luke read it once amd knew who it was. He put his phone face down. Finished what he was doing. Then picked it up again, read it a second time, and got his jacket.The place was a members' club.Not the loud kind. The kind that had no sign outside and a door that opened before you knocked because someone had already seen you coming. In this place, the staff moved quietly and the rooms were small and private and the whole building just operated on the understanding that whatever happened inside it stayed inside it. It had also belonged to the man that requested him at the moment.Luke was shown to the back room without having to give his name.Victor was already there.He sat at a table by the window with a glass of something dark and a newspaper he wasn't reading.The chessboard sat beside him.Not set up for a game.Just there.The pieces were arranged the way they had been for weeks.The kin

Evelyn waited until they got back home. She didnt want it to seem strange or anything.Leon changed out of his clothes, ate his dinner, argued briefly about whether he needed a bath tonight or whether yesterday's bath still counted."It counts," he insisted."It absolutely does not." He sighed with deep acceptance of his faith.Bath. Pyjamas. Then Gerald in his correct position.Then she sat on the edge of his bed."Can I ask you something?" she said.He looked at her."Luke, the person that Zara brought today.." she said. "Why don't you like him?"Leon looked at Gerald.He picked him up. Turned him over once then put him back."I just don't," he said."Okay." She kept her voice light. "Can you tell me a bit more than that?"He thought about it.She could see him thinking — the small crease between his eyebrows that appeared when he was actually trying to find words for something rather than just picking the first ones available."I don't know," he said finally."You don't know why yo

Zara checked her reflection in the passenger mirror for the third time. Luke and her were going to LUXE, yes...she was taking him to meet Evelyn, and she was also supposed to be very excited about it.Luke glanced at her from the driver's seat."You know I can see you doing that," he said."I know.""You look fine.""I know that too.""Then why —""Because she's my best friend and my boss and she's going to look at you like this —" Zara demonstrated the look, chin slightly lifted, eyes assessing, warm but completely seeing. "And I need to be prepared for that."Luke laughed."Well, I think I'm the one who should be nervous," he said."Yeah, and you dont even look nervous.""I could be.""You're not." She looked at him. "You're never nervous."He glanced at her."Maybe you make me calm," he said.She looked out the window immediately.She was smiling and she knew it and she couldn't do anything about it."I really like you, Zara," he said and reached for her hand, his eyes still on the

Jane had grown up understanding that Victor Winters had that effect on people.Not because he demanded respect.He rarely had to.People simply adjusted around him, quietly and instinctively, the way grass bent beneath the wind.She was sitting at her dressing table when she heard his voice downstairs.Low. The voice he used when he was talking about something that mattered, which was wierd, because the person he was talking to sounded really familiar to her.She looked at herself in the mirror.She looked fine.She went back to what she was doing.The knock at her bedroom door came few minutes later."Come in," she said.Marcus opened the door.She turned around on the sofa and looked at him."What are you doing up here?" she said. "I knew it, you came to see my father.""I did," Marcus said. He closed the door behind him. "Now I'm seeing you.""That's not how this works." She turned back to the mirror. "Since you came to him first, you came to see him. Not me.""Maybe I wanted both.

The old collection was in a box under the worktable.Evelyn had put it there herself — not thrown it, she just boxed it and slid it under and turned back to a blank sketchpad and started again. She breathed. "Clean page. New concept. I can do this," she said like a motivation.Rosa had watched her do it."You don't have to start from scratch," Rosa said."I know.""You've thrown away thirty-seven sketches.""Thirty-eight.""They weren't bad, Eve.""Well, 'not bad'isn't enough anymore." Evelyn looked at the blank page. "I want something nobody can stand next to and claim they inspired. And I strongly mean Isabella. Thatswhy I need to sketch out these styles myself, Rosa."Rosa nodded because she understood fully how important this was for Evelyn. Every show had been.Evelyn continued sketching.She continued starting over until she was satisfied with the outcome.Across the room Zara's phone buzzed.Zara picked it up. Read it. And did something Evelyn hadn't seen her do in a while — sh
