Estelle’s POV

We ate in silence for a while.

Daisy finished her spring rolls. I pushed noodles around the pad thai and managed four bites before giving up. She refilled both glasses, then leaned her elbows on the counter.

“So,” she said casually, “the transfer paperwork. Where does that stand?”

Relief slipped through me at the safer topic. I explained the complications.

“So you will get him back,” Daisy said slowly.

“Eventually,” I replied.

She tilted her head and watched me for a second. “Are

  • He Wants Me More After Divorce   Chapter 219

    Harrison’s POVMother moved from topic to topic without pause, but nothing she said touched the real reason I was sitting at her table.For twenty more minutes I let it happen.Her voice filled the kitchen in the same way I had known my entire life. It moved through the room easily, the way it always had. Certain that the world made sense if you managed it properly.I wrapped my hands around the blue mug and let the warmth sink into my palms.Sitting there, listening to her talk about ordinary things, I understood something quietly devastating.I was saying goodbye to this kitchen.She stood and walked to the shelves behind the counter. Dozens of books sat in neat rows. She kept them arranged by subject, labels titles forward like a display in a shop window. One book had shifted slightly out of line.She nudged it back into place.“You know,” she said casually, her back still turned, “it’s a shame about Estelle’s family.”I didn’t speak.“I mean—they tried, I’m sure,” she continued. “

  • He Wants Me More After Divorce   Chapter 218

    Harrison’s POVI drove to my mother’s house because I needed to sit in her kitchen one more time. The route took me past the places that had shaped my childhood.First the school. Then the church where I’d sat through Christmas services in a collar that pinched my neck. A few blocks later came the park where my mother had taught me to ride a bicycle one wet Saturday morning.The grass had soaked my shoes that day.I’d lost control halfway down the path and slammed into a bench. My lip split open immediately. I remember the shock of it more than the pain.My mother had lifted me off the ground and pressed the hem of her skirt against the blood.“Up,” she’d said briskly.I’d climbed back on the bike.Later she’d cleaned the cut in the kitchen. The antiseptic burned so badly my eyes watered, but she didn’t slow down while dabbing it across my lip.“If you start crying,” she’d told me calmly, “you’ll never stop.”I’d managed not to.Years later I could still recall the sting of that antis

  • He Wants Me More After Divorce   Chapter 217

    Lyndsey’s POVI dropped my hands from my face.My mother was looking at me the way she looked at contracts before signing, reading every clause, weighing every risk.“She used you, Lyndsey,” she said quietly. “That doesn’t excuse what you did. But she used you. She took a girl who was desperate for love and she pointed her at the one place that desperation could do the most damage.”“I wasn’t a child,” I whispered. “I knew what I was doing.”“Did you?”“Yes.”“Did you know she was going to steal a baby from a hospital bed?”I flinched hard enough that my back hit the headboard.“No,” I said. “I didn’t know about that until—no. Not at the beginning.”“But later.”“Later. Yes.”“When?”“When she saw Estelle had at the hospital and—she took the baby and told Harrison that Estelle had tried to abort him and then abandoned him. I knew…I knew that wasn’t what happened. I knew because I’d been at the hospital when the arrangements were made, and I’d seen Claire—”I stopped. I pressed my fist

  • He Wants Me More After Divorce   Chapter 216

    Lyndsey’s POVI was shaking.It ran through my hands first. My fingers kept slipping against the pillow behind my back, and I dug them harder into the fabric just to hold still.“Keep going,” my mother said quietly.I nodded once and forced the words out.“She knew Harrison’s psychology,” I said hoarsely. “Claire did. She knew exactly which image would—” I broke off, dragged my teeth across my lower lip, then tried again. “She knew about his insecurity around Estelle’s beauty. She knew exactly where the weak point was.”My mother didn’t interrupt.“She built the whole thing around that,” I went on unevenly. “I mean…she walked me through it step by step. Which angle would bother him most. Which version would slip past his rational brain.” I swallowed hard. “She said it had to hit the part of him that already felt threatened.”My hands tightened on the pillow.“She designed it, Mum,” I said harshly. “Every piece. I just delivered it.”My mother sat exactly the way she had since walking

  • He Wants Me More After Divorce   Chapter 215

    Lyndsey’s POVI had been back in my childhood bedroom for three days, and the walls were starting to close in.Not the Curzon Lane flat, the one with the narrow view of Harrison’s building two streets away. That place was gone now. Greaves’s people had cleared it out in an afternoon after I’d called my mother and asked for help because I’d been rotting.My mother sent a car. I packed what I could carry and left the rest.Now I was here.The Donovan house where I’d grown up riding horses, practicing polite conversation over long dinners, and believing the world would cooperate if I presented myself correctly.My old bedroom looked different now. The horse posters were gone, replaced by botanical prints that probably came from a design catalogue.The single bed had become a queen.But the window still looked over the same paddock. The same chestnut mare wandered near the fence, tail flicking lazily at flies. And the floorboard beside the closet still creaked when I stepped on it.The wh

  • He Wants Me More After Divorce   Chapter 214

    Karl’s POVI held the pen motionless between my fingers.“Lyndsey?”“I have to go,” she said tightly. “I didn’t—that’s not what I meant. I need to go.”“Lyndsey, what did you just—”“It doesn’t matter,” she cut in quickly. “Forget I said anything. I’m hanging up.”I didn’t rush to fill the silence. I sat there with the pen frozen in my hand and let the quiet go on, pressing against whatever she’d just cracked open.“Please don’t tell them,” she whispered.I said nothing. A second later the line went dead. I lowered the receiver slowly and set it on the desk. The pen stayed still between my fingers for the first time in ten minutes.The original photograph.The one that destroyed Harrison and Estelle’s marriage. The photoshopped image of Estelle and Michael that Harrison saw and reacted to instantly. No questions, no pause, just a divorce filed before anyone could breathe.I’d suspected Lyndsey made it alone. A jealous woman with a grudge. A desperate fabrication born from obsession.C

  • He Wants Me More After Divorce   Chapter 147

    Estelle’s POVChloe’s bedroom door creaked open and she wandered out rubbing sleep from her eyes, her hair a tangled mess, still in her pyjamas.“What’s for breakfast?” she asked groggily.I shoved Karl’s phone back at him so fast I nearly dropped it and forced my face into something that probably l

    Harrison’s POVThe apartment was big enough for the two of us and quiet enough that I could hear Lucas laughing from every room—a sound I’d almost forgotten existed.He was different here. He ate breakfast without being coaxed, played with his Lego for hours on the living room floor, fell asleep at

    Harrison’s POVI opened the guest room door looking for Lucas and stopped dead.Lyndsey’s clothes hung in the closet—dresses, blouses, maternity wear on padded hangers, neatly arranged by color.Her toiletries covered the bathroom counter, creams and lotions and vitamins in neat rows. The furniture
