I Regained My Sight Just in Time to See My Husband Cheat CHAPTER 76: THE NIGHT BEFORE THE REVIEW
The night before the review, Damian wanted to go through the file one more time, and I told him no."We've been through it forty times," I said. "If it's not ready now, one more read won't fix it. And if it is ready, one more read won't help. I know every page. Go home. Sleep. I'll see you in the morning.""You're sure.""I'm sure. I don't want to walk in there tomorrow having spent tonight staring at documents. I want to walk in rested and clear." I paused. "For four months I lived inside that file. Tonight I want to think about something else."He understood. He gathered his coat."Clara," he said at the door. "Whatever happens tomorrow, you did everything right. Every single thing. I need you to know that before we walk in, in case the day gets away from us.""I know," I said. And I did. "Thank you, Damian. For all of it. However, tomorrow goes.""It's going to go well." He said it quietly, no salesman in it. "Get some sleep."He left.Sophia came instead. She'd said she would, and
I Regained My Sight Just in Time to See My Husband Cheat CHAPTER 75: ELARA GIVES DAMIAN SOMETHING
Clara’s POVDamian called at ten at night, which he never did, and I knew before he spoke that something had moved."You're going to want to sit down," he said."I'm sitting.""Elara Hayes contacted my office today. Through her own lawyer." A pause, and I could hear him choosing how to say it. "She wants to cooperate. Against Alexander. She's asking for immunity from the fraud charges, and in exchange she's offering to hand us everything she has."I sat very still in the apartment."Everything she has," I repeated."A document. A record she kept. Dates, conversations. Including, Clara, a specific account of Alexander describing the custody plan out loud, the decision to build the psychological case against you before you had any reason to suspect it. In his own words. With her as the witness." He let it land. "She was in the room for most of it. And she wrote it down."I looked at Luna's drawing on the wall. WE WILL WAIT MOMMY."She's covering herself," I said."She's covering herself
I Regained My Sight Just in Time to See My Husband Cheat CHAPTER 74: ELARA'S POSITION SHIFTS
Elara’s POVGet out of my study, he'd said. We were on the same side when it was winning.I went up to the master bedroom, Clara's bedroom, and I sat on the edge of the bed I still couldn't quite call mine, and I did the arithmetic one final time, all the way to the bottom, no flinching.Alexander was finished. Not struggling, not embattled. Finished. The board doesn't come back once it distances. The story doesn't die once it's on the front page. And the custody case he'd built his whole future on was going to collapse under the fraud the moment Clara put the two in the same room, which she would, because she was patient and thorough and she'd told me herself, in that kitchen, with her seeing eyes, exactly what kind of woman she was.So the only question left was the one I'd been circling for weeks and finally had to answer.Did I go down with him, or did I get out.I already knew. I'd known since the night I lay in this bed and understood I'd walked into a burning building. But know
I Regained My Sight Just in Time to See My Husband Cheat CHAPTER 73: ALEXANDER SUSPENDED
Alexander's POVThe board voted on a Thursday, and they did it by phone, which told me everything before Prescott said a word."They're suspending you," he said. "Executive duties, board seat, effective immediately. Pending the investigation." A pause on the line. "Alexander. It's a formality, they'll say. It isn't. Once they distance themselves, they don't come back.""They can't do this.""They've done it. It's done."I hung up and I stood in my study, my study, in my house, and I looked at the desk where I'd built the whole thing, careful piece by careful piece, and I understood that the careful pieces had just been read aloud on a front page for anyone to see.The phone rang again. I let it. It rang all morning. Not the calls I wanted, the lawyers, the fixers, the men who owed me favors. Those had gone quiet. What rang all morning were the other kind. Reporters. A cousin I hadn't spoken to in years, checking in, which is what people do when they want to watch you bleed and call it
I Regained My Sight Just in Time to See My Husband Cheat CHAPTER 72: WHAT THREE MONTHS MEANS
Clara’s POVThree months is not a length of time when your children live somewhere else. It's a number you take apart into smaller numbers you can survive.Ninety days. Twelve Wednesdays and twelve Saturdays. Six hours a week, one hundred and eight hours total, and I counted them the way Luna counted, because counting was the only thing that made the size of it bearable.Damian came to the apartment most nights. We'd fallen into it, the two of us at the small table, files between us, and he'd bring dinner because he'd worked out I forgot to eat, and we'd work until the words swam."Mrs. Rose again," I'd say, and read him the day's report off my phone.He'd write it down. Elara runs the school. Elara does bedtime. Elara moved the girls' routines. He turned every one of them into a line in a document, and the document got thicker, and some nights I hated how it grew, because every entry was a small piece of my daughters' lives happening without me."She's reading them their bedtime stor
I Regained My Sight Just in Time to See My Husband Cheat CHAPTER 71: ELARA HEARS THE VERDICT
Elara’s POVIt took Alexander a few days to stop celebrating the ruling, and even after the first flush wore off he'd still bring it up, still pour a drink in the evening and turn it over like a trophy he wasn't done admiring."Primary custody stays with me," he said again that night, the way he'd said it half a dozen times since the hearing. "Pending review. Three months." He clinked his glass against mine. "She threw everything at it. The evidence, the evaluator, all of it. And the judge kept the girls right where they are.""You've told me," I said, and drank. "A few times now.""It bears repeating."I let him have it. He deserved it, in a way, or thought he did, and I've learned that when a man wants to celebrate you let him, because a celebrating man tells you things a careful one wouldn't."You should have seen Blackwood's face," he said, sitting, loosening his tie, warming to the retelling the same way he had the last three nights. "He built the whole thing on the fraud, the ti
