Married To My Ex-Husband's Uncle Chapter 127: Ask Her About The Eggs
Xena.Cassandra Byrne started to laugh.It wasn't much of a laugh but it went on longer than was comfortable, and none of us said anything until she finished."Oh, that's very good," she said. "Victor, she got there in eleven seconds. It took your grandfather three days.""Whose grandfather," I said."Hers." Victor's hand hadn't moved off the envelope. "Elias. She means Elias.""I mean Elias." Cassandra pulled her coat straighter across her shoulders. "Sit back down, dear, you've gone white and I'd rather not explain a fainting girl to anyone.""Tell me what's in the envelope.""Paper. Correct weight, correct age, correct three sheets." She said it without a flicker. "Nothing written on any of them. I had it made in four hours and it cost less than dinner.Dante's voice came out very flat. "Where are the real ones?""With Judge Osei, exactly where the girl sent them. I didn't intercept the courier, I intercepted the manifest — there's a difference and only one of them is a felony." A

Xena.The front door was open four inches and nobody had forced it."She has a key," Dante said."She doesn't need one. That lock's been broken since March." I pushed it with two fingers and it swung the rest of the way without a sound. "Dad kept saying he'd fix it."The hallway smelled the way it always had — old wood, the ghost of coffee, the faint bleach smell from the last time somebody had cleaned a floor in here and it hadn't been me. My coat was still on the hook by the door where I'd left it in October and never come back for.Dante went first. I let him, because arguing about it in a doorway would have taken longer than the four steps to the kitchen.She was sitting at the table.Eighty-something, dark coat still buttoned, hands folded on the wood in front of her in a way that made something turn over in my chest before I understood why. Victor sat across from her with his back to us, and he didn't turn around when we came in.The envelope was between them. Unopened, exactl
Married To My Ex-Husband's Uncle Chapter 125: Ask Him Why
Xena."Somebody stood in those trees and watched a man dig for six hours," Dante said, both hands on the wheel, not looking at me. "And then went home and filed paperwork.""Don't.""I'm not trying to frighten you. I'm trying to say it out loud so it stops being something we're both thinking separately."I pressed my palms against my eyes until the pressure did something. "Then say the rest of it.""If she had someone on that property nine days ago, she has someone on us now." He took the turn onto the expressway too fast. "Kenilworth. The vault. Lake Forest. We walked into her house and took her ledger off her desk, Xena. It was sitting square in the middle of it."I dropped my hands. "You think she left it.""I think a woman who has stayed invisible for forty years does not leave a private diary on an open desk in an unlocked house by accident."She wanted me to read it. She wrote three months of entries about me and left them where I'd find them. The thought had been sitting somewh

Xena.Herald was already standing at the fence line when we pulled up, and he hadn't brought a coat."He's been out there an hour," Dante said, cutting the engine. "Look at the grass."I looked. A single track through the frost, from the driveway to the trees, going one direction only.I got out. The cold came through my sleeves immediately and I crossed the yard fast, gravel then dead grass then the softer ground under the trees where the earth had been turned and packed down again by hand."You said ten," I said."I got here at seven." Herald didn't turn around. He was looking at the third tree from the fence, at a strip of white cloth knotted around the trunk about shoulder height, weathered gray now at the edges. "I wanted to see it in daylight one more time before it stopped being mine.""Yours.""I dug it." He said it flat. "Nobody helped me. I was out here six hours and I didn't stop once, and when I finished I sat down against that fence until the sun came up because I couldn'

Xena."She doesn't want the documents released," Foster said. "That's the part everybody keeps getting wrong about her."We'd taken him to Dante's house because it was the only place any of us trusted, and he sat at the kitchen table where my father had died with a cup of coffee he hadn't touched, talking like a man who'd been holding his breath for six years and had finally been given permission to exhale."Victor thinks she's waiting to move," I said. "Gerald thought she'd move the second Victor's control broke.""They both think she's them." Foster's mouth twisted. "That's the mistake. Victor's spent forty years terrified of what he might do with what he has. Gerald spent his life assuming everyone was playing the same game he was. My mother isn't playing that game. She never was."Dante leaned against the counter, arms folded, watching him carefully. "Then what does she want?""She wants it buried. Permanently." Foster finally looked up. "Elias gave Victor the originals and gave h

Xena."Say it before we get there," Dante said, one hand on the wheel, the other resting warm on my knee like he'd put it there without deciding to. "Whatever you're bracing for. Say it out loud now so it's not sitting in your chest when we walk in.""I'm scared it says she sold him." My voice came out smaller than I wanted. "That Diana knew exactly what she was doing the whole time and sat next to me at his funeral anyway."His thumb moved slowly against my knee. "And if it does?”"Then I'll have lost her twice, and I'll have to tell Hannah, and I don't know how to do that.""Then we'll do it together," he said, and didn't offer me anything more comforting than that, which was exactly why I believed him. He squeezed my knee once and let go to take the turn into the parking structure."He's still here," Axel said, the second we came through the vault's outer door. "Sat down and stopped running the moment he saw me. Didn't even try.""Foster Byrne?""Says his name is Foster. Hasn't sai

Xena."It's me Xena."My eyes went wide.“ Dad?”There was silence on the other end. For a brief second, no one spoke, not a single word was said.I stood in Dante's study. We hadn't contacted each other since Adrian's promotion ceremony.“Darling I—” he pauses then heaves a sigh. “How are you doin

Xena.The ceiling in Dante's room was different from the one in the guest room.I noticed that first, which probably said something about the state of my brain. I stared at it and waited for regret to arrive.It didn't.What arrived instead was a very thorough physical awareness of every decision

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
