MARRIED TO MY EX-FATHER IN LAW. NOT PATHETIC
WILLOW'S POVI'm folding laundry in the utility room when Lola walks in looking like someone just kicked her puppy.Again.This is the third time this week I've seen that expression on her face. And I know exactly what's causing it.Willow fucking Hart."Okay, that's it." I drop the towel I'm folding and turn to face Lola. "We need to talk.""About what?""About the fact that you've been moping around this house like a sad ghost ever since that woman showed up."Lola sits down on the bench by the window. "I'm not moping.""You are absolutely moping. You barely eat. You avoid Ocean even more than you were already avoiding him. You jump every time someone mentions Willow's name." I sit down next to her. "Talk to me. What's going on?""Nothing. I'm fine.""Lola, I love you, but you're a terrible liar." I take her hand. "What did Willow say to you?""She didn't say anything. She's been perfectly nice.""Bullshit. That woman is a snake. I can see it from a mile away."Lola looks at me with
MARRIED TO MY EX-FATHER IN LAW. INSECURE
Willow doesn't leave London.I thought maybe after that first visit she'd go back to wherever she came from. Paris, I heard Hannah say. But she doesn't leave. She stays. And suddenly she's everywhere.The first time I see her again is three days after her initial visit. I'm in the sitting room reading when she's shown in by one of the staff. She's dressed impeccably as always. This time it's a navy dress that probably costs more than my wardrobe, paired with heels that make her already tall frame even more imposing."Lola! How lovely to see you again." Her smile is warm. Friendly. "I hope I'm not intruding. I was in the neighborhood and thought I'd stop by to see if Ocean was available.""He's in a meeting," I say, closing my book. "I'm not sure when he'll be done.""Oh, that's alright. I don't mind waiting." She sits down across from me without being invited. "Actually, this gives us a chance to chat. Get to know each other a bit."I don't want to chat with Willow. Don't want to get
MARRIED TO MY EX-FATHER IN LAW. BE PRESENT
I sit in my room at the Savoy, staring out the window at London, and think about Lola Moretti.Ocean's wife.The girl is twenty-three years old. Twenty-three. When I was twenty-three I was still figuring out what I wanted to do with my life, still making stupid decisions about men and careers and everything else.And Ocean married her.I pour myself a glass of wine from the minibar and replay the brief meeting in my head.She's pretty, I'll give her that. In a doe-eyed, innocent kind of way. Big dark eyes, delicate features, the kind of face that probably makes men want to protect her.Which is exactly what Ocean is doing. Protecting her.He said it himself. She needed protection and marriage was the best way to provide it.That's not love. That's obligation. Duty. Ocean has always had this code about protecting the weak, about not letting women get hurt. It's one of the things I loved about him.But it's also his weakness.He saw some young girl in trouble and he stepped in. Married
MARRIED TO MY EX-FATHER IN LAW. FIVE YEARS TOO LATE
I watch the taxi drive away with Willow inside and feel absolutely nothing.Five years ago, watching her leave destroyed me. I loved her. Really loved her. And she walked away without warning, without explanation, just disappeared from my life because she couldn't handle the reality of who I am.Now she's back and all I feel is... tired.I close the door and stand in the foyer for a moment, trying to process what just happened.Willow showing up out of nowhere. Telling me she made a mistake. That she regrets leaving. That she wants another chance.Five years too late.I should have told her that. Should have been clear and firm and shut down any possibility of her coming back into my life.But I didn't. I was polite. Distant. But not firm enough.Why wasn't I firm enough?Because some part of me, some stupid sentimental part, remembers what we had. Remembers loving her. Remembers thinking she was it for me.And even though I don't feel that way anymore, even though I've moved on, I co
MARRIED TO MY EX-FATHER IN LAW. AN OPTION
I'm in the garden reading when Hannah comes running out."Lola! There's a woman here asking for Ocean. She says she's an old friend."I look up from my book. "Okay. Why are you telling me?""Because she's gorgeous and she walked in here like she owns the place and I don't trust her." Hannah plops down on the bench next to me. "You should come see.""Hannah, if she's Ocean's friend, that's his business. Not mine.""Still. Come inside. I need backup in case she's trouble."I sigh but close my book. "Fine. But I'm not getting involved in Ocean's business."We walk back to the house together. I can hear voices coming from Ocean's office. The door is slightly open.I should keep walking. Should go to my room or the kitchen or anywhere else.But my feet stop outside the office. And I can hear them talking."Twenty-three," a woman's voice says. Smooth. Cultured. "That's quite an age gap."My stomach twists. They're talking about me."Twenty-six years," Ocean replies."And you married her any
MARRIED TO MY EX-FATHER IN LAW. WILLOW
Willow Hart steps out of the taxi in front of Ocean's mansion and takes a moment to just look at it.She hasn't been here in years. Five years, to be exact. Five years since she walked away from the best thing that ever happened to her because she was too scared to handle the reality of loving a man like Ocean Moretti.The mansion looks the same. Imposing. Beautiful. Exactly the kind of place Ocean would own.She pays the driver and stands on the sidewalk with her luggage, gathering her courage. She flew in from Paris this morning after hearing the news from an old mutual acquaintance. Ocean got married.Ocean. Married.She couldn't believe it at first. Ocean swore after his wife died that he'd never marry again. Said he was done with that part of his life. That was one of the things that made their relationship work, actually. Willow wasn't looking for marriage either. Just companionship. Partnership.Until she realized she wanted more and got scared and ran.But now he's married. To
