I Want A Divorce 208 - Smart Kid
SERA"You're staring at your phone."I look up to find Heather watching me across the hospital cafeteria table, one eyebrow raised in amusement."I'm not staring.""You've checked it three times in the last five minutes." She takes a bite of her sandwich. "Let me guess. Darius?"Heat crawls up my neck. "Maybe."My phone buzzes and I grab it immediately, not even trying to be subtle anymore.Darius: (Stuck in the worst meeting of my life. Send help. Or coffee. Or a natural disaster.) I bite back a smile and type: (What kind of natural disaster?) Darius: (Anything that gets me out of listening to Henderson drone on about quarterly projections for another hour.) Me: (You're the CEO. Can't you just leave?) Darius: (That's not how it works.) Darius: (Sounds like you need better job perks.) Three dots appear. Disappear. Appear again.Darius: (The view's pretty good from here actually. Third row center.) I look up sharply from my phone. Scan the cafeteria until—Darius is sitting thre
I Want A Divorce Chapter 207 - Girlfriend
SERAI'm exhausted.Not the physical kind of tired that comes from performances and travel. This is deeper, bone-weary exhaustion that settles in when you realize your life has become public property.Being a Smith changes everything.The tour crew treats me differently now. There's a new distance in how people interact with me, like I've suddenly become someone who needs careful handling. The sound guy who used to joke around during rehearsals now calls me "Ms. Smith" with uncomfortable formality. My fellow performers ask questions that skirt around wanting to know if I'm rich, if I always knew, if this changes my career trajectory.I had to officially change my name. Legal documents, new contracts, updated credits on all my work. Sera Smith. It still doesn't feel real when I see it in print.The media won't let it die. Every day there's a new article dissecting my relationship with Monica, speculating about inheritance and family dynamics and whether this was all calculated for publ
I Want A Divorce Chapter 206 - To Family
SERAThe charity gala isn't my idea.Monica invites me three weeks in advance, her voice careful over the phone like she's expecting me to say no. The Smith Foundation hosts it annually—some big fundraiser for children's hospitals that her company sponsors. She asks if I'd like to come as her guest, maybe bring Luna.I almost decline. Public events mean cameras, questions, attention I don't particularly want. But there's hope in Monica's voice that makes me hesitate."Johnson will be there," she adds. "And Steve. It would mean a lot to us. To me."So I say yes.The gala is held at the Plaza, all marble columns and crystal chandeliers and people in designer gowns that cost more than most cars. I wear a simple black dress that Heather insisted I buy, my hair styled in loose waves. Luna is with Darius, which means I don't have to worry about keeping her entertained while making small talk with strangers.Monica finds me within minutes of my arrival, her face lighting up in a way that sti
I Want A Divorce Chapter 205 - Threats
DARIUSThe past two weeks have been brutal.Between finalizing the partnership with Smith Corporation and trying to be present for Luna, I've barely slept more than four hours a night. My assistant keeps leaving increasingly concerned notes about the bags under my eyes. I ignore them.Because at the end of every exhausting day, I get to talk to Sera.Sometimes it's just ten minutes while she's between sound checks. Sometimes we stay on the phone for hours after Luna's asleep, talking about nothing and everything until one of us is too tired to form coherent sentences. Her voice has become the thing I look forward to most—the way she laughs when I tell her about Luna's latest scheme to avoid bedtime, the little sighs she makes when I catch her off guard with something honest.Worth it. All of it.Today she's supposed to come home. Tonight, actually. Her flight lands at six.But first, I have a meeting.The Smith Corporation conference room is all glass and steel, designed to intimidate
I Want A Divorce Chapter 204 - The Death Of Me
SERAA shiver runs through me that has nothing to do with cold."I trust you." He pulls back just enough to look at me, his hands moving to cup my face. His thumbs brush across my cheekbones, the touch sending sparks across my skin. "I trust you more than anyone. More than I've ever trusted anyone. And I'm sorry I didn't before, that I let her poison what we had. But I do now. Completely.""Darius—" My voice comes out breathless."I know saying it isn't enough." His gaze is intense, pinning me in place. "I have to prove it. Show you every single day that I believe in you, in us. And I will. For however long it takes.""I want to believe you." The confession slips out quiet, honest. "I want this so badly it scares me.""Then be scared with me." His forehead comes to rest against mine, our breath mingling in the space between us. "We can be terrified together."I laugh, the sound a little unsteady. His hands slide from my face down to my waist, fingers spreading wide, spanning the small

SERAI arrive at Darius's house at seven in the morning with Luna's backpack slung over my shoulder and my pulse doing weird things in my throat.The gate opens before I even reach for the call button. He's watching the security feed, which means he knows I'm here. Knows I'm sitting in my car in his driveway trying to work up the nerve to face him after last night.I grab Luna's bag and force myself out before I can chicken out and just leave it on the doorstep like some kind of coward.His housekeeper opens the door, her face giving away nothing as she steps aside as usual. "Ms. Jennings. Mr. Blackwood is in the kitchen.""Luna?""Still sleeping." She takes the backpack from my hands. "I'll put this in her room."The kitchen is flooded with morning light when I walk in, all those massive windows Darius loves showing off the manicured lawn and the pool beyond. He's standing at the island with a coffee mug in his hand, staring out at nothing in particular.And he's already dressed for
