I Was His Secret Wife, Now I'm His Nightmare Let’s Find Out If There’s a Man
By the time Audrey got home, it was close to midnight again, and she couldn't sit still.She was scrubbing the stove when the door beeped. She'd already cleaned it twice. The passcode she'd given him unlocked the door, and Roman walked in carrying four grocery bags, his tie already loose at the collar.He glanced at her gloves, then at the stove. "We both know you don't use that stove enough to be cleaning it that diligently.""It had a spot.""Audrey.""It had a spot, Roman."He didn't argue. He set the bags on the counter, went back outside, and returned with two more. Then he began unpacking like it was a military operation: eggs, butter, rice, three kinds of vegetables, a whole chicken, and a block of cheese large enough to threaten someone."Sorry I'm late," he said. "I had hundreds of meetings.""You said you would restock after a month.""I did say a month.""It's been just two weeks.""Audrey, does it really matter?" He opened the fridge. She peeled off her gloves and perched

"Derek Lockwood," Carla repeated, quieter this time, as though saying his name twice might make it hurt less.Audrey's thumb found her wrist and pressed hard against the scar.Once. Twice.Then it stopped.Carla watched her hand go still, and her stomach dropped. She could have handled shouting. Shouting meant there was still something to fight."Say something," Carla urged. "Cry. Throw a stapler. I'll pretend I didn't see.""I'm not throwing a stapler.""Shame. I'd have paid good money to see that."Audrey almost smiled, but the expression died before reaching her eyes. She looked down at the second proposal, at the gold lettering and the smiling celebrity face, and spoke with a calmness that made Carla more nervous than any outburst would have."Then he can watch me win."Carla blinked. "Okay. That was hot and terrifying. I'm not sure which one concerns me more.""Carla." Audrey looked up. "Mina and Josh can know Lockwood is the other agency. Diana already knows, and half the buildi

Diana didn't bother with a greeting when her father answered."Tell me you didn't buy that apology.""The market did," Marcus replied. She heard papers shuffling on his desk. "Moreau Group stock is up two points. And noon came and went, Diana. I have three board members asking why Audrey is still on the org chart.""Then give them a reason to stop asking. Roman Moreau handed her a pass, but she hasn't earned it." Diana crossed to the window and looked down at the street. "If you want her in that chair, make her prove she deserves it where everyone can see."Silence stretched between them.Then Marcus asked, "What are you thinking?""Valmont."He let out a low whistle. "That's a hell of a test.""Isn't that the point?"☆☆☆☆☆Audrey was halfway through her second cup of jasmine tea when her phone rang.Marcus Sinclair."Your deadline is extended," Marcus said without a greeting.She carefully set down her cup. "Because of Roman's press conference?""Because his little speech bought you

He covered the pot, lowered the heat, wiped his hands on a kitchen towel, and took her hand. Gently, he led her to the living room and settled her on the couch.Then he pulled out his phone and pressed play on an audio file.“Takes one to know one, sweetheart.”Audrey went still. She recognized Regina's smug voice immediately.“I got the husband. I got the necklace. I got everything you were too stupid to hold onto. And you? You got a dead baby and a pity fuck from your husband's brother. Real upgrade.”It was the recording from the night of the gala. Audrey remembered how deeply Regina's words had hurt her, but she'd managed to move past them.Then Roman's voice filled the room.“Greenfield Assisted Living. Room 114. Third floor, west wing, corner room with the window that faces the garden. Your grandmother has been there eleven months now, hasn't she? Nurses say she likes it when someone reads to her in the afternoons, since she can't really speak anymore. Regina, I'll make sure you

A pan clattered somewhere in her apartment, and Audrey’s eyes snapped open. The room was dim with the first light of dawn. The rain had finally stopped, but her heart was already pounding before she was fully awake. Then came another sound. A cabinet door. Followed by footsteps.Someone was in her house.Just like that, the sleep vanished from her eyes. She slid out of bed, grabbed the first thing she could find—a heavy candlestick from her nightstand—and crept down the hallway barefoot. Her thumb rubbed nervously against her wrist.Don't panic. Don't panic. Don't panic.As she approached the living room, she realized the sounds were coming from her kitchen. The burglar was in her kitchen. What kind of burglar went to the kitchen first? Could they be looking for a knife?Audrey swallowed hard and tightened her grip on the candlestick. She peeked around the corner, ready to swing with all her strength before the intruder could attack.Then she saw who it was.Roman stood at her stove,

Roman's cold, authoritative voice filled the dark room."Regina, I'll make sure your grandmother spends her final years alone in a remote hospice where nobody will find her. Not even you."The recording stopped.Silence descended upon the room, broken only by the relentless rain lashing against the windows.Audrey sat against the headboard, staring blankly into space. The thin cotton of her shirt clung lightly to her skin, and the lingering scent of jasmine tea and soap did nothing to soften the bitter realization settling over her.Roman Moreau had just been caught threatening an elderly woman. An elderly woman who had dementia.And by morning, the entire city would be ready to tear him apart."This is bullshit."Roman tossed the phone onto the rumpled duvet, his expression infuriatingly calm."This is a non-issue. I made an empty threat to Regina, and now the entire city will pretend I actually planned to abandon her grandmother in some remote hospice." He scoffed. "Seattle loves a
