His Wife On Paper Chapter 226
Kian's POV "You're doing it again," Drew said, watching me over the rim of his coffee cup."Doing what?""That thing where you watch him like he's about to combust." He nodded toward the garden, where Noah and Mitchell were crouched over something in the grass, deep in negotiation about whatever it was. "He's fine, Kian. He's just looking at a bug.""I know he's fine." I didn't look away from the window. "I'm allowed to watch my son look at a bug.""You've been watching for ten minutes.""It's a good bug, apparently."Drew laughed, settling back into his chair, the two of us in my kitchen on a Saturday afternoon while our wives did something neither of us had been invited to and our children conducted serious business in the garden."Mitchell asked me last week if Noah was her brother," Drew said. "I didn't really know what to say.""What did you say?""I said no, but they're family anyway, the kind you get to choose instead of the kind you're born into." He shrugged. "She seemed sat

Eliora's POV "This is our last session," Dr. Stella said, settling into her chair with the same unhurried calm she'd had on the very first day. "How does that feel to say out loud?"I looked around the office, the same plant on the windowsill, somehow still thriving after all this time, the same lamp throwing the same warm light into the corner. "Strange," I said. "Good strange, I think. But it's strange.""Tell me about the good part.""I came in here three years ago not knowing how to put anything down," I said. "Not knowing how to let people carry things with me. I called you because Zoey suggested it, and I almost didn't come back after the first session. I almost stopped last year after a couple of sessions."a laugh escaped my lips, “I just couldn't bring myself to stop tgen.”I paused. "And now I'm sitting here telling you it's time to stop, and I actually believe that.""What changed?"I thought about it for a while. "I think I learned the difference between carrying somethi

Eliora's POV "You don't have to explain yourself to me," I said, setting two cups of tea down on the table between us. "I just wanted to check if you were okay. After the dinner."Lydia wrapped both hands around her cup, the way she always did, like the warmth mattered more than the drinking. "I'm fine," she said. "I've had worse evenings.""You don't seem fine."She looked up at me, and something in her face shifted, not quite a wall coming down, but a crack appearing in it. "She just gets under my skin," she said. "Tonia. Always has.""Can I ask why?"Lydia was quiet for a moment, turning the cup slowly. "Because she had everything I didn't," she said finally. "The marriage that lasted. The money that never disappeared. The ability to walk into a room and have everyone defer to her without question." She paused. "And then she used all of that to hurt my daughter. To take two years away from you and Ezra both. And somehow she still gets to sit at the same table, holding her head u

Eliora's POV "You're early," I said, when the front door opened and Kian walked in still in his work clothes, jacket over one arm, a takeout bag in the other."I said I would be."Ezra appeared at the top of the stairs before either of us could say anything else, peering down with the caution he'd carried for two days now, like he was checking the weather before deciding whether it was safe to come down."Hey, bud," Kian said, looking up at him. "Come down here for a second."Ezra came slowly, one stair at a time, Noah trailing behind him, both of them watching us with the same careful attention."I got dinner," Kian said, holding up the bag. "The place with the noodles you like.""Are you and Mom okay now?" Ezra asked, ignoring the bag entirely.Kian crouched down to his level. "We're going to be," he said. "We had a disagreement, and that's okay sometimes….even grown-ups disagree. But we're not going anywhere. Either of us.""You promise?" Ezra looked between us."I promise," Kian

Kian's POV "You look like hell," Drew said, dropping into the chair across from my desk without waiting to be invited."Thanks.""How many nights in the guest room now?""Two." I didn't look up from the report I wasn't actually reading. "Don't you have your own family to bother?""Mitchell's at nursery. Zoey's at work. I'm free." He propped his feet up on the edge of my desk, which I let slide because I didn't have the energy to fight him on it too. "So what happened?""Nothing.""Kian."I set the report down. "I tried to fix something with the dinner, and it backfired, and then Eliora and I had a fight, and now we're not really talking.""What kind of fight?""She said I was unreasonable for wanting Lydia to forgive my mother on my timeline."Drew raised an eyebrow. "Did you say that?""Not exactly.""What did you say exactly?"I thought back through it, trying to find the precise moment things had gone wrong, the way you replayed a meeting looking for where the deal actually died.

Eliora's POV "Mom, are you and Dad fighting?"My hand hovered over the laptop keys, the email I'd been writing forgotten mid-sentence. Ezra stood in the doorway of my office, school bag still over one shoulder, his face set in the same serious expression he'd worn since he was small, the one that meant he'd already done his thinking before he opened his mouth.I blinked at him and laughed, a little too quickly. "Sometimes us adults have our little bickers. It—""Is it because of Grandma Lydia and Grandma Tonia?" He waited, patient, his bag slipping slightly off his shoulder and him not bothering to fix it.I turned fully from the laptop and opened my arms.He walked into them slowly, the sadness in the way he moved more telling than anything he'd said, and let his bag drop onto the floor as he pressed himself against me."Oh, my little boy." I patted his hair, ruffled it the way he hated and secretly loved. "Look at you, all grown up. Nothing gets past you anymore."He pulled back j
His Wife On Paper Chapter 78
Kian's POV The morning sun was an intruder. It cut through the heavy velvet curtains of my study in sharp, dusty needles, mocking the gloom I’d spent all night cultivating. I was still in the same clothes from the night before, my shirt wrinkled, the scent of stale scotch clinging to my skin like

Eliora's POV The Donovan estate always felt like a museum, quiet, expensive, and filled with things that weren't meant to be touched. As I walked down the long, mahogany-paneled hallway toward Kian’s study, my heels made a sharp, rhythmic sound that echoed off the high ceilings.I was here for an i

Eliora's POV Why am I here?I stood in the dimly lit hallway of Zoey’s apartment building, my hand hovering inches away from the chipped blue paint of her door. The air here smelled of stale laundry detergent and someone’s burnt toast—a grounded, messy, human smell that made my throat tighten.I s
