Married To My Ex-Husband's Uncle Chapter 216: Harlow Ridge
Xena“You both look like you haven’t slept,” Cassandra observed from her pillows, before Dante had finished closing the door. “Sit down and tell me what happened.”It was a quarter past six in the morning. Pale light came through the blinds of room 412 in thin gray stripes. Foster was already awake in the vinyl chair with a paper cup of coffee balanced on his knee, and a young nurse was checking the IV pump.Dante didn’t sit. He stood at the foot of the bed with his hands gripping the rail, and I stood beside him with my shoulder against his arm.“I need to tell you something about my family,” he began, his voice low and steady, though I could feel his arm trembling against mine. “About my father, and about Elias. I’d like to say it myself, if you’ll let me.”Cassandra’s eyes moved from his face to mine. She folded her hands over the blanket and waited.“Go on,” she said quietly.He told her everything, starting with Margaret’s ledger and the signature in it, then the night nurse call

Xena“I’m coming,” Dante told the nurse, already on his feet with the phone pressed to his ear. “Tell him I’m coming. Twenty minutes.”He hung up and stood in the middle of the kitchen with his keys in his fist, staring at nothing. The ledger lay at the far end of the table under the buzzing light.“I’m coming with you,” I announced, pushing back my chair. “Don’t argue with me.”“I wasn’t going to.” His voice was rough. He held out his free hand, and when I took it, his fingers were damp with sweat. “I don’t want to walk into that room by myself.”He stopped with his hand on the back door. His knuckles had gone pale around the keys.“If he says something tonight,” he began, without turning around, “something about that car, I’ll be hearing it as his son and as a lawyer at the same time. I don’t know how to be both of those in one room.”I came up behind him and laid my cheek between his shoulder blades.“Then be his son tonight,” I murmured into his jacket. “Tomorrow you can be the la
Married To My Ex-Husband's Uncle Chapter 214: The Boy's Key
Xena.“Did he know?” Dante demanded, his finger still pressed to the faded signature on the page. “Did my father know whose key he handed you?”Margaret closed the ledger gently over his finger and drew it back onto her own lap.“I never asked him,” she answered, her voice level. “He never told me. The next week, Gerald moved Richard to an office on another floor, and the gray sedan was sold before the month was out.”Dante stood up so fast that his knee knocked the tea tray. Cups rattled on their saucers, and a thin stream of tea ran across the polished wood toward the edge.Ruth half rose from her chair by the door. Voss’s hand went flat on her portfolio.“Fifty-two years,” Dante shouted, jabbing a finger toward the ledger. “You sat on this for fifty-two years. You let Cassandra think it was Gerald. You let my father walk around and raise a family and sit at the head of the table every Christmas.”“Yes,” Margaret replied, without lowering her eyes. “I did all of that.”“Dante.” I st

Xena"You've grown into your face, Mrs. Cross," the old woman remarked, holding the door open with one thin hand. "At your wedding, you still looked surprised to be there."I stood on her porch with Dante beside me, and for a second I couldn't answer her. She was small and very straight, with white hair pinned up exactly as I remembered it from the edge of that dance floor. A gold watch hung loose on her wrist."Mrs. Cross," I answered, swallowing first. "Margaret.""Margaret will do." Her eyes moved to Dante and stayed on him a beat longer than they had on me. "And you're Richard's boy. You have his jaw."Dante kept his face still, though a muscle flickered once along his jaw."She knew my father," he breathed, so low that only I could hear him as Margaret turned away from the door.I leaned my shoulder into his arm."I'm Dante," he replied evenly. "We're here because you asked to see my wife.""I asked to see your wife," she agreed, stepping back from the door. "I'm glad you came an

Xena"Don't say another word to her, Xena," Okafor hissed, gripping my arm above the elbow. "Save it for when we're somewhere she can't hear you."My hand was still pressed over my mouth. I lowered it and nodded, heat climbing up the side of my neck under the afternoon sun.Voss waited with her head tilted until we finished. Then she slid a cream-colored envelope out of her portfolio and held it out to Okafor, who took it between two fingers."My client would like to meet Mrs. Cross in person before the thirteenth," she explained, already turning to go. "Her address and telephone number are inside. She asked me to say she'll be home all day tomorrow."She went down the steps without looking back. The coffee vendor followed her with his eyes until she climbed into a black car at the curb.I turned to Okafor. My legs had started to tremble, so I planted my feet on the stone."I'm sorry," I blurted, my hands fluttering uselessly at my sides. "I wasn't thinking. She said Margaret's name,
Married To My Ex-Husband's Uncle Chapter 211: Margaret
Xena“The key,” Okafor whispered beside me, gripping my wrist hard enough to leave marks. “Xena, nobody in this room said the word key.”I turned to stare at him. His face was close to mine, his glasses sliding down his nose, while Pell sat back down at the side table.At the front of the room, the chair lowered her pen. She conferred with the two men in murmurs I couldn’t hear, her hand covering the microphone in front of her. Dante sat rigid at his table with his palms pressed flat against the wood.When the chair looked up again, she spoke directly to him.“Mr. Cross, this board was prepared to rule today,” she announced, folding her hands on top of her notes. “Given this complaint, we can’t. Our decision is deferred until bar counsel completes a review. We’ll reconvene in fourteen days.”Dante’s shoulders dropped an inch, and he kept his eyes on the table.“I understand, Madam Chair,” he answered, every word clipped short. “Thank you for your time.”“For what it’s worth,” she adde

Xena.The night air hit me the moment we stepped outside and I realized it was the first clean breath I'd taken in hours.Dante's car was already waiting. The long black car didn't need a logo to tell one it cost fortunes. A driver stood at the rear door without being summoned and I got in without
Married To My Ex-Husband's Uncle Chapter 3: Where Do I Sign?
Xena.I have had some strange experiences in my lifetime.Being born illegitimate into a family that kept me like a footnote. Being sent to a wedding that wasn't mine with twenty minutes of notice. And spending three years married to a man who looked through me at dinner every night.But none of th

Xena. Was Hannah drunk?I stood there waiting for the punchline. April Fools was months away but maybe someone had lost track of the calendar. Maybe this was some elaborate Yale family bit that I hadn't been briefed on. Maybe —Adrian crossed the room to stand beside her."It's true." He turned to

Xena.I gasped for breath, my legs still aching from the last round. Yet Dante stood over me like this was nothing but probably another of his one night stands.The bed was wet beneath me, wet from my juices. I stared at the ceiling for a while, the memories of his cock inside of me played over an
