I Slept With My Best Friend's Son Chapter Seventy Three:The Photograph
Ashley called Evan at six in the morning.He was already awake — he had not slept particularly well, the new locks notwithstanding — and he answered on the first ring and listened to what she had seen and told her to stay where she was and not call Nicole yet.He went to Nicole's door and knocked.She was awake too.---Her attorney had the information by seven-thirty.A private investigator. Licensed, unfortunately — Rhett had used him before, according to her attorney's research, for a corporate matter three years ago. His name was in the system. His methods were legal, which was the specific problem.Surveillance of a public street was not illegal.Photographing people who moved through a public space was not illegal.Her attorney walked her through this with the careful tone of a woman who was delivering information that was going to be difficult to hear and wanted the delivery to be as clean as possible."What is he looking for?" Nicole said."Evidence of the affair," her attorne
I Slept With My Best Friend's Son Chapter Seventy Two:The Car Across The Street
Nicole's attorney took the call report at seven in the morning.She listened, asked three precise questions, and told Nicole what Nicole already knew — without a recording, without a traceable number, without a witness, the call was a data point and not yet evidence. She would flag it with the detective on the case. She would have it noted in the file. If it happened again Nicole should record it immediately and call her before she called anyone else.The detective said essentially the same thing with different words.Nicole thanked them both and ended the calls and sat at the kitchen table with her coffee and the specific frustration of a woman who understood the system well enough to know exactly where its edges were.Rhett understood those edges too.He always had.---Evan started on the locks that afternoon.He did not ask permission. He came back from his morning class with a bag from the hardware store and went through the apartment methodically — the front door first, new dead
I Slept With My Best Friend's Son Chapter Seventy One:He'll See Her Soon
The bail hearing was on Tuesday.Nicole's attorney called her at two in the afternoon with the result and she stood in the kitchen and listened and said the right words and ended the call and set the phone down on the counter and stood there for a moment.Released.Conditions attached — stay away from the property, no contact with Nicole, surrender his passport, report weekly to his supervising officer. All the standard architecture of a system that understood the risk and was doing what it could within its limits.She knew what those limits were.She had spent fifteen years working inside them.The conditions were paper. Paper was real until a person decided it wasn't, and Rhett Anderson had spent his entire life deciding which rules applied to him and which ones were suggestions.She called Evan.He picked up before the second ring."He's out," she said.A pause. One beat."I'm coming over," he said.She started to say it was fine. She had the words ready — the practised version, th
I Slept With My Best Friend's Son Chapter Seventy:Never Lost A Case
The days after Rhett's arrest had a different texture to them.Not easy — Nicole was not naive enough to expect easy, and the work that came with the aftermath of six years dismantled was real and daily and demanding. But different. The specific difference of a house where the weather had changed. Where the thing you had been bracing against was no longer coming and your body was slowly, reluctantly, learning to believe that.The case built steadily.Ashley's formal testimony was added to the file on Monday. She gave it in a lawyer's office with a witness present and said everything she had said to Evan in the hotel room, this time on the record, in the plain language of someone who had decided that the cost of the truth was finally lower than the cost of carrying it. The financial investigators had opened three separate threads from Nicole's initial documentation. Rhett's lawyer filed a counter-statement that the papers covered for exactly one day before the weight of the evidence ma
I Slept With My Best Friend's Son Chapter Sixty Nine:Finally
The house was different without him in it.Not dramatically. The furniture was the same. The light came through the same windows at the same angles. The kitchen was the same kitchen and the hallway was the same hallway and the bedroom door opened onto the same room.But the air was different.Nicole noticed it the first morning she woke up and lay still for a full minute without reading the sounds of the apartment. Without cataloguing the quality of the quiet to determine what it meant. Without running the automatic inventory that six years had made as natural as breathing — where is he, what mood, how much space to give, which version of the morning is this.She just lay there.And the silence was just silence.She got up and made coffee and stood at the kitchen window and drank it while it was still hot, which was something she had not done in longer than she could immediately calculate, because there had always been something to manage before the coffee cooled.She drank it standin
I Slept With My Best Friend's Son Chapter Sixty Eight:Willing To Try
The officers arrived at eight thirty-seven.Two of them. Professional, unhurried, the particular manner of people who had done this before and understood that the doing of it required a certain steadiness. They spoke to Nicole first — she had the documentation ready, printed and organized, handed over in a folder with the same methodical precision she brought to everything she built.They spoke to Rhett.He did not make it easy.That was perhaps the last predictable thing about him — that even at the end, even standing in his own hallway with two officers and a folder of evidence that covered six years of his choices, his instinct was to manage the room. To charm, to redirect, to find the version of events that served him best and present it with the confidence of a man who had always been the smartest person present.The officers were not interested in the version.They had the folder.---They took him at nine-fifteen.He walked out of the building in the specific way of a man who h
I Slept With My Best Friend's Son Rhett Comes Home
Rhett came home at six that evening. I heard him before I saw him. I always had — six years in the same apartment teaches you the particular sound of a person. His key in the lock. The specific pause before he pushed the door open, the beat he took to compose himself on the other side of it. Then
I Slept With My Best Friend's Son The Phone Call
The next morning Evan came downstairs and found me already at the kitchen table with my coffee and a legal file I had been staring at without reading for the better part of forty minutes. "I have a problem," he said. I looked up. He held up his phone. Dead screen. "I left my charger and my lapt
I Slept With My Best Friend's Son The Towel
That evening I wore what I always wore at home when Rhett was away — comfortable, unhurried, the version of myself that had existed before I started editing my appearance to suit someone else's preferences. Silk robe over a camisole, hair loose, bare feet on the kitchen tile while I put dinner toge
I Slept With My Best Friend's Son The Spare Room
Ashley's goodbye was one of the finest performances I had witnessed in six years of knowing her up close. She stood outside my building with Evan's duffel at her feet and her sunglasses on, and she held him for what I counted as a full forty seconds. She whispered something against his hair. He pa
