Of course she didn’t believe me.

Catherine crossed her arms. ‘All just your tricks. You say you want out, but you’re clinging to him every chance you get. Now that he’s finally interested in me, you’re pulling stunts to drag him back.’

I wanted to throw up my arms like a cartoon character. It was like talking to a wall.

‘Catherine,’ I said, gritting my teeth, ‘Rhys isn’t refusing to end it because he’s still obsessed with me. He’s doing it because he’s terrified of what the tabloids will say. He’s doing it because he’s too much of a coward to tell his mummy no. The same goes for you. You’re coming at me because you’re too scared to pick a fight with Rhys or Louisa. You two really are a match made in dysfunctional heaven.’

‘It’s not like that! Rhys is just worried about his mum’s health. That’s why he won’t end things yet.’

‘Right. And you, standing here hissing at me to tell Louisa about your little love story with Rhys—means you’re obviously not worried about her health at all, right

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 268 Ashton: Dinner with the Enemy

    ‘Hey, you, stop!’I turned and saw Antoine Marchand charging down the court steps, his face tight with anger.To produce a man-child like Pierre Marchand, he must have had parents who’d spoiled him rotten. It turned out the indulgent parent wasn’t his mother, but his father.An hour earlier, Antoine had burst into the courtroom with an entourage of lawyers. It was absurd overkill for a simple assault case. Thanks to their wrangling and, as Lea whispered to me, a bit of grease on the right palms, Pierre had walked away with barely a slap on the wrist.Antoine wasn’t happy. He wanted me locked up for aggravated assault, criminal damage, resisting arrest and every other offence his legal team could dream up.When the prosecutor let me off with a warning and a fine, Antoine went spare. He was angrier than his son, the one I had actually hit.‘Don’t you think you should at least apologise?’ Antoine panted as he stopped in front of me.The tailored suit did nothing to hide his bulging midri

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 267 Mira: An Offer I Can’t Ignore

    ‘If the company’s liquidated, we lose everything. The CAD models, portfolios, inventory. I can find a job elsewhere easily with my CV, but I like the company, I like the work, and I want to stay.’Peter Carl’s voice had lost its usual breeziness.‘But what can I do?’ I still didn’t see why he thought I could save the company. I was in hot water myself. With Fabrizio gone, my joint venture with him was finished, and the product launch I’d poured the last two months into would die with it.I’d already given up hope of getting my money back. The only thing left seemed to be leaving.‘You have a studio, don’t you? So you’ve got management experience,’ Peter Carl said.I gave a wry smile. ‘As Fabrizio has so clearly demonstrated, running a small independent studio and running a big company aren’t the same thing.’‘I know, but I have faith in you.’‘I don’t have faith in myself.’‘Come on. Just think about it. If you buy Valmont & Cie now, you’ll get it cheap. The investors will be glad to

  • I Slapped My Fiancé—Then Married His Billionaire Nemesis   Chapter 266 Mira: Nothing Left to Save

    I woke up with a stuffy head, a blocked nose and a hangover.My head throbbed, my limbs ached, and my heart fluttered in a strange, jumpy rhythm, the result of a sleepless night.I saw Ashton’s text and didn’t reply.I didn’t want to talk to him. Not until I’d sorted out what was going on in my own head.Franklin was dead.My father was dead.I couldn’t remember the last time we’d had a peaceful conversation. The last time he spoke to me without trying to squeeze something out of Ashton. The last time he gave me a smile that felt remotely fatherly.Still, he was my father. He gave me life.I could at least spend one day mourning him. Right?I called Fabrizio to ask for the day off.He didn’t answer.His hangover was probably worse than mine. I remembered how much he’d drunk last night.I rang Peter Carl instead and told him I wasn’t coming in.‘You and Fab both,’ he said, sounding unsurprised. ‘What did you two get up to last night?’I gave a vague answer.‘It’s fine. Take all the tim

    ‘I called the lawyer. He’s on his way.’Lea came into the interview room after the police officer left.She looked guilty. ‘I’m sorry.’‘Not your fault.’ That was only partly true. My face still ached from the punch thrown by one of the bouncers, and I was still furious at Lea for agreeing to leave with her abusive, waste of oxygen husband.‘You okay?’ She winced at the bruises on my face. ‘Once we get bail, you should get checked out at a hospital.’‘I’m fine. You’re the one who needs her head examined. What were you thinking?’She sank into the chair the officer had just vacated. ‘I wasn’t.’‘No shit. You turn into a completely different person around Pierre. No brains, no self-preservation. Just blind loyalty.’ I was starting to doubt whether she’d actually go through with the divorce.Mira woul

    ‘You found her?’ Lea asked.I nodded and sank onto the barstool beside her.‘She all right?’‘She’s fine.’ Or she had been, until I turned up, wrecked her dinner and blew up her plan.‘Told you the PI I recommended was good.’ Lea smiled. ‘I use him for business intel mostly, but he handles personal cases too. I—’ She paused, reading my face. ‘Didn’t go well, then.’There was sympathy in her voice, but I knew her well enough to hear the schadenfreude underneath.‘Mira just needs time.’Lea waved the bartender over and ordered a Boulevardier for me. ‘That’s what I said. She needs time to process the news. Alone. You showing up probably made things worse. Did she lash out?’‘No.’I took a long gulp. It went down smooth, but it didn’t touch the mess inside me.I couldn’t forge

    ‘Bet you were gutted when you didn’t catch me shagging Fabrizio in a hotel room.’ The sarcasm slipped out. ‘Is that what you thought? What you’ve always thought, ever since you met him? That he’s fancied me, and the second you left Paris, the two of us jumped into bed? Is that what this is?’Then it hit me. ‘Is that why you left Paris so suddenly? You didn’t actually leave, did you? You just pretended to, hoping I’d fall into his arms so you could catch me red-handed.’Ashton tried more than once to cut in, but I steamrolled right over him.He’d always had stalker tendencies. I saw that the day he bought the flat across from mine. Then he showed up at a bar I’d picked at random. When I moved into Oakwood Apartments, he bought the entire building.It had unsettled me, yes, but back then, we were two people tangled in a lie, each trying to solve our own mess. I didn’t feel it was my place to call him out.But I couldn’t keep ignoring it.I shot out of the chair and started pacing. Blood
