His Tears, My Freedom (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back) 161 The moment it slipped
Lila’s POVMy phone suddenly vibrates in my hand.The screen lights up.Grandma Margaux.Oh shit.She's calling.For a second, I glance around before forcing a smile onto my face."I need to take this call."They nod immediately."Okay, Amara. Go ahead."With that, I excuse myself and step out of the flagship store, moving into the open space outside.The afternoon breeze brushes against my skin.I pause, looking around.Nothing.No familiar vehicle.No sign of Grandma.No sign that she's anywhere near here.Then why is she calling?A deep sigh escapes me.I quickly swipe to answer."Grandma," I say, placing a soft smile on my face."Don't tell me you're calling to apologize for not being here?""Lila, my child, did you—"Her voice suddenly crackles through the speaker.The words distort into broken fragments.Static buzzes loudly against my ear."...Li...la... can... hear... me..."The connection stutters.Each syllable sounds as though it's being shredded apart before reaching me."G
His Tears, My Freedom (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back) 160 Which hurts more
Lior’s POVA sharp knock sounds against my office door before it bursts open."Lior, we have a problem."I lift my head from the documents scattered across my desk.Dave strides in, his expression tight.My stomach immediately sinks."What problem?" My brows knit together.He doesn't answer right away.Instead, he places a tablet in front of me."The sponsors for our project velocity pulled out."My chair scrapes against the floor as I shoot to my feet."What?"The word explodes out of me."How? Why?”My pulse begins to pound."How did this happen?"Dave exhales heavily.“We’re hearing they’re in talks with RD Corporation.”The room suddenly feels smaller."RD Corporations..."The name leaves my lips in a low murmur.A dangerous one.My jaw tightens.A deep sigh leaving me as I drag a hand through my hair."Set up a meeting with them."I look directly at him."I need to speak with them."Dave's face twists with something close to sympathy."I already tried."My heart drops."But they'
His Tears, My Freedom (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back) 159 The invisible hand
Margaux’s POV“So, how did it go?”My voice is calm, measured, but there is a quiet anticipation beneath it as I look at Vivian.She nods immediately. “The launch was a success.”A small smile curves my lips.Of course it was.She hands me the iPad and I take it, my fingers steady as I swipe through the photos.One after the other.Lila standing at the center of the room.Guests admiring the designs.The displays.The crowd.Her brand.Her world.Each image pulls something warm from deep within me.“I can’t wait for when she finally chooses a brand name,” I say, smiling as Vivian nods.“So tell me,” I continue, “did all her designs make it for today’s launch?”She inches closer. “Yes. I had all the designs she made for the prestige fashion show available for today’s launch, as per your order. And here’s the report about it.”My eyes flick briefly to hers before returning to the screen. She taps lightly, pulling up another page.Analytics.Live reports.Trending feeds.“The internet h

Lila’s POV“Wow, Lila… it’s only been five days since we graduated and you already own a huge flagship to yourself?”Sofia’s voice comes out soft, breathless, filled with pure wonder.I don’t answer immediately.Because from where we’re standing… I can see everything.The upper level curves slightly around the flagship, enclosed in clear glass that overlooks the entire space below. The music drifts up to us, softer here. Muted. Like the chaos beneath us belongs to a different world.People move in and out in a steady flow. Laughter rises. Glasses clink. The soft glow of chandeliers reflects against polished floors as customers already begin picking pieces off racks.My pieces.My brand.My life.“I guess that’s what it takes to be an Armitage, is it?” Enzo adds, lifting his glass to his lips and taking a slow sip, his tone light but laced with something deeper. Something curious. Maybe even a little impressed.“The whole place screams ready, girl. I’m sure you’re going to do amazingly
His Tears, My Freedom (Ex-Husband Wants Me Back) 157 Weight of her words
Liam’s POVI burst through the front door and stride straight into the living room, my chest rising and falling as if I have just run a mile.The sound of the door slamming echoes behind me.“Why did you stop me, Mom?” I demand, running a hand through my hair as I turn sharply. “I should have gone to her. I should have stopped her from leaving with him.”My mother steps into the room calmly, closing the door behind her.“And how exactly were you planning to do that?” she asks.Her question catches me off guard.I stare at her, confused.“I don’t get it,” I scoff, walking toward her. “What do you mean?”She studies me carefully.“You can’t possibly tell me you planned to tell her that she’s your wife.”The words hit me harder than I expect.I press my fingers against my temples.“No. Not really,” I admit under my breath, “but that doesn’t change the fact that she is.”“And it still doesn’t change the fact that she can’t remember any of that right now,” my mother replies gently. “And yo

Margaux’s POVI stand by the window, my fingers resting lightly against the curtain as evening settles over the estate. The sky is dim, fading into a quiet blue-gray, and the garden lights flicker on one after another.Footsteps approach softly behind me.“Are you sure about this, ma’am?” Vivian’s voice drifts through the room. Careful. Hesitant. “This is going to hurt the young master a lot.”I scoff under my breath.The image flashes in my mind so clearly it almost amuses me. Lior arriving at the school. Seeing Lila and Rowan being taken away together. Watching them leave for their little date.The plan had been precise. Deliberate.I turn slowly to face Vivian.“Because that’s exactly what he needs to grow,” I say firmly, pointing a finger at her before walking back toward my seat. “I don’t want him ending up like his father.”The memory of that weak, broken man tightens my jaw.“A man who could not even fight to reclaim his own life,” I continue, lowering myself into the chair. “I
