He Gave Her the Wedding, I Gave Him Divorce Chapter 7: Summer’s POV
Ethan gazed at me, the corner of his mouth tipped up. Would he laugh at me too?I thought of him saving Cy, the way he cradled my son to his chest even as he mocked Adrian. No. His hatred didn’t extend to us.I took his hand.He placed his other hand on my waist as I stood.I turned and glared at Helena. “I haven’t seen Adrian in a long time. Do you really think I’d be here if I still had feelings for him?”Ethan chimed in. “It’s only right that my girlfriend stands with me at my brother’s wedding. After all, the best man needs a beautiful woman to match him.”The crowd tittered. “That’s the brother?”“Doesn’t matter what he says. If he came stateside, it’s trouble for Whitmore.”“Isn’t he the oldest? Why wasn’t he made CEO?”“Who says it can’t still happen?”“Dating his brother’s ex. That can’t be a coincidence.”Helena gaped at us, her words lost along with her control of the crowd.Her eyes bored into me. “Even if you’re dating someone else, it doesn’t change the past. I know you,

I let mockery drip into my voice. “That’s it? How petty. Fine, I’ll play your game, Adrian, but not for free.”My insides squirmed, and I fought to keep the hurt and shame from showing on my face.My ex-husband lifted his chin. This was the language he understood. Derision. Cruelty. Transactions. “What do you want?”“After the wedding, you’re gone. You will cut all ties with me and my son. You won’t be Cyan’s father, and you will never see him again.” If only he knew how much it ripped me apart to say that.Adrian was silent for a moment, then finally nodded.Sabrina rose and walked towards Cyan and me. She reached out, and Cy squealed, hiding his face in my shirt.“I don’t understand why you’re so afraid.” She withdrew her hand, pressing it to her chest. “I’m the one you attacked. You know, Lily’s been having nightmares, and my face still itches. It's like this boy’s put a curse on us.”I stared at her for a moment, unable to process what she said. “Are you completely insane?”“Since

Rage took over, but I didn’t yell. “Listen to me carefully. You have Adrian. You can drag my name through the mud, but if you ever hurt or even look at my son wrong again, I’ll make you wish you were the one with cancer.” No room for doubt or regret.I needed to draw this line, for Cy’s sake. “Keep his name out of your disgusting mouth,” I finished.The voice that answered had shed its cruelty, replacing it with sobs. “How could you say that?”She should have been an actress.Then, Adrian spoke. Sabrina was on speaker, making sure he overheard at the right moment. “I can’t believe you, Summer. Even if you have no courtesy, you can at least give Sabrina your respect.”“I’m done with this conversation. Submit the divorce decree, Adrian. There’s no point in waiting.”I hung up.…The next day, I expected to drop Cy off at therapy and put in some work at my parents’ house.But something was wrong. I couldn’t get him out of bed on time. I tried tickles, special interests, visual timers…n

I was running to my car when my phone rang. The ID popped up as ‘First Baptist Lady of Mercy Hospital.’ Somehow, I forced my shaking fingers to be still and answered. “Hello.”“Is this the parent or guardian of Cyan Whitmore?”Oh God. No no no. “I—I’m his mom.”“This is the intake department of FBL Mercy. I’m calling to confirm parental consent for a bone marrow test this afternoon.”My brain fought to keep up. “What? No! Absolutely not. I’m coming to get him. Please, don’t do anything.” I hung up before the woman could answer. My body was in overdrive as I yanked the door of Jen’s car open and buckled in. Cold sweat beaded on my forehead, but I pushed down the sick feeling and threw the Porsche into gear.At the hospital, I parked in the emergency lane, not waiting to see if someone came to tow me. I ran to the elevator, somehow finding the diagnostic lab by instinct alone.Adrian and Cyan met me in the hall, emerging from a small room. My baby staggered at his father’s side, grip

“Thank you,” I said, as I went to my knees, looking over Cy. Safe. My baby was safe. Adrian called from behind, “Ethan, what are you doing here?” His tone was full of suspicion.Ethan. Adrian’s half-brother, whom I’d never met. The child of his father’s first marriage. I couldn’t reconcile the way Grace had described him with the man in front of me.His hair was lighter than Adrian’s, walnut instead of black, but he had the Whitmore eyes. His mouth tilted into a smile as Adrian approached, laugh lines creased at the corners of his mouth.Ethan was the wolf at Adrian’s back. After his mother’s death, and his father’s hasty remarriage, he had never warmed to Adrian or Grace, in fact his hostility towards them was legendary.From different continents, the brothers competed like bitter enemies. Adrian in North America, Ethan in Europe, and even an ocean couldn’t wash away the hatred my ex-husband felt for his half-brother.Not with the way Whitmore Group’s executives talked about him. O

I placed the divorce papers onto Adrian’s desk.Despite my protests, Jennifer, my best friend and a lawyer, had insisted I prepare them.Adrian laughed coldly, as if to say, you had this all planned out. Reaching for a spare pen, I signed my name. Something inside me eased, like the strings I didn’t know were holding me up had been cut.Adrian scrawled his signature onto the other line. “I’ll leave the date blank in case you change your mind.” Amusement laced his words. He thought I was playing games.Grabbing the papers, I turned and headed for the door. “Take some time to think this over. After you file those, you won’t be Mrs. Whitmore anymore.”His words set my teeth on edge. Was he threatening me?I spun on my heel and walked back to the desk, slamming the forms onto the polished wood. In a few strokes, I filled in the date. “It’s done,” I said. Before he could respond, I heard my son crying.Cyan was supposed to be at ABA. Had Adrian sent a driver to pick him up?We both rus
