I Came Back To Ruin You Letting Her Walk Out
Chapter 69: Letting Her Walk OutFelix's POVI packed her things myself.Markus offered. Francesca offered, with her eyes red and her hands already folding a scarf. I said no to both, because it was the last thing in this house I could do for her without anyone calling it control.Two suitcases. The gray sweaters, the trousers she'd chosen from her own closet, the toiletries Francesca had bought in the first week. I folded each thing the way I fold surgical drapes, edges square, nothing creased, and I found I couldn't stop checking. Charger. Glasses. The little pouch of hair clips she'd left on the dresser in the master suite before I moved her out of it.At the back of the dressing room, a garment bag with a gold Crown stamp. She'd asked for it on Tuesday, standing in the doorway, with no explanation. *I'd like to keep that one close.* I hadn't asked why. I zipped it flat across the top of the second case and told myself it was only a dress.Then I went to the pantry and took down a
I Came Back To Ruin You She Called Him Husband
Chapter 68: She Called Him HusbandTessa's POVThe court had said supervised, and Dr. Marchetti had said not in the house, so the first visit happened at Vanguard, in a family room on the fourth floor with a beige sofa and a box of tissues on every surface.I'd been up since five. I'd written it all down: the time, the room, the name of the judge, a note to myself in block letters. *Ask him everything. Don't be kind first.* Then I'd read the line twice and wondered who I'd been talking to when I wrote *kind.*Marchetti sat in the corner with her tablet on her knee, supervising. Markus stood outside the door. Felix wasn't anywhere. I'd asked, and Marchetti said he'd chosen to wait down the hall, and she'd said it carefully, as if it were a medical term.The door opened and Julian came in.---He stopped two steps inside, the way you stop at the edge of a pool you aren't sure is deep. Gray shirt, sleeves rolled. He'd lost weight. There was a shadow under each eye, and a small tremor in
I Came Back To Ruin You Julian's Second Victory
Chapter 67: Julian's Second VictoryJulian's POVThe judge took four minutes.I know because I timed it against the clock above her bench, the way I used to time silences in sessions to see who would crack first. Pike read the affidavit into the record in his priest's voice. *I am the protected party in this matter. I do not fear contact with my husband.* The prosecutor objected to the poisoning inquiry, and the judge waved her off without looking up. Felix's lawyer, a woman in a navy suit with a face like a locked door, argued that the signature was obtained under diminished capacity."The petitioner's own words are in front of me, Counsel," the judge said. "She says she isn't afraid. I'm inclined to believe a woman about whether she's afraid."Motion granted. Supervised contact, a third party present, to be reviewed in thirty days.I kept my hands folded and my face grave. I'd practiced the face in the bathroom mirror that morning, the one for a man who has been through something an
I Came Back To Ruin You The Daughter He Raised
Chapter 66: The Daughter He RaisedFelix's POVI picked the place because she would know it.Aldridge Park, the old rose garden behind the glass conservatory, where a nine-year-old girl once fell off a stone wall and broke her wrist and refused to cry until I'd set it myself with a magazine and a scarf. Nico had traced the burner through three towers and a pawnshop. I sent one text to the number he gave me, from a phone Markus had bought that morning.*Rose garden. The bench by the sundial. One hour. Come alone or I send Markus to the door.*She didn't answer. She came.I watched her cross the gravel from the far gate in a hooded gray coat that wasn't hers, too big in the shoulders, hands jammed in the pockets. Three weeks ago she had worn cream cashmere to my table and asked how my day had been. Now she walked like someone being led somewhere, and she stopped six feet from the bench and looked at the ground."Hi, Daddy.""Sit down, Lila."She sat at the far end. I kept the recorder i
I Came Back To Ruin You Dr. Vaughan, I Presume
Chapter 65: Dr. Vaughan, I PresumeTessa's POVI decided to treat him like a negotiation.It was the only way I knew to sit across from a stranger who knew more about me than I did. You don't start with feelings. You start with what's on the table, who's in the room, and who's pretending not to be afraid.He'd brought tea to the sunroom, a tray with two cups, and he set it down on the low table without being asked. I took the chair with its back to the wall and the window on my left. He took the one opposite, then moved it two inches to the side so the light wasn't in my eyes. He did it without comment and hoped I wouldn't notice.I noticed. I put it in the file.---Markus first, because he was the easiest to read.He stood by the door and didn't lean on it. His weight sat on both feet. His eyes went to the window every eight or nine seconds, then the corridor, then back to Felix, never to me. That was the part that interested me. A man guarding a house watches the house. A man guard
I Came Back To Ruin You The Stranger's Chair
Chapter 64: The Stranger's ChairFelix's POV "Julian isn't coming today," I told her.It was the truest thing I could say that wasn't also the cruelest. She nodded, slowly, the way she nodded at contractors who'd given her a number she planned to beat. Then she asked if she could have her tea, and I said yes, and I stood up from that chair like a man getting off a ship.I made it as far as the hallway. I shut her door to an inch and stood with my back against the wall.Markus was already there. So was the younger guard, Reyes, who took one look at my face and found something fascinating on the ceiling."Give us the corridor," I said.Reyes went. Markus stayed."Listen carefully," I said. "Everyone in this house hears this from me, and they hear it today. Nobody tells her we were together. Not Francesca, not the housekeepers, not the men on the gate. If she asks what I am to her, I'm her doctor. If she asks why she's in my bed, she's in a guest room, and it's a medical precaution.""S
I Came Back To Ruin You EXPOSED
CHAPTER SEVENRecord: Oh fuck, you are so tight, baby!Then, right after Julian’s voice, were slaps as if he were pounding into something. I looked at my cracked screen, unable to fathom what I was listening to.Later that night, the banana bread forgotten, I lay on the bed, awaiting his arrival.H
I Came Back To Ruin You ANONYMOUS
CHAPTER SIXI decided to stay at home for the day as I searched online for meals I could prepare for Julian before he got home without so much stress. I needed to tell him about my condition. It'd be so cruel of me to leave this world without letting him know about this. He would blame himself for
I Came Back To Ruin You AMNESIA
CHAPTER FIVEJulian came in with Lila as usual. They were bickering like a young couple in love when they walked in.“Why are you staring at me like that?” Julian asked.She replied, “I’m trying to figure out why you stole my fries.”He frowned. “Your fries? You ordered extra. That’s relationship f
I Came Back To Ruin You INSURANCE
CHAPTER FOURI couldn’t see well. The door was blocking my view. The door only allowed me to see Lila. As I was about to nudge the door open to see the man, Lila’s face jerked upright and she saw me. She quickly pulled off the man and tossed him further into the room, out of my sight entirely. Her
