Married To My Ex-Husband's Uncle Chapter 58: What The Hell Is Cross Doing Here?
Dante.The guard was smoking.Victor was already moving before I finished clocking him. Axel started forward and I put my hand on his arm without looking at him.We watched.Victor crossed the open ground in the specific way he moved when the situation required it. The guard heard something at the last second — started to turn — and then Victor's hand was on his neck. He was down without a sound.Victor looked back at us.We moved.The front door was unlocked."Someone left in a hurry," Axel said quietly behind me.I didn’t respond to that as we walked in. Inside Axel made a sound. "Smells like food. Coffee. People were here recently.""Recently isn't now," Victor muttered. Axel was about to make a comment but he shut it the moment Victor glared at him. Jeez I was too old for all these drama. We moved through the ground floor. Three rooms. All empty. Kitchen with dishes still in the sink. Study with the desk lamp on and nothing on the desk — they'd taken whatever was on it and left

Axel."It's a farmhouse," Henry’s voice came out rough. "Single structure. Access road off the county route. No neighbors within two miles.""Activity.""Vehicle tracks shows that someone's been moving in and out regularly." A pause. "Axel I don't know what you're into but—""Send me everything you have."The line went dead.I looked at my phone. The files came through in three separate attachments. A satellite imagery, property records and a rough sketch of the access road my contact had pulled from county surveying records.I called Dante.He picked up before the second ring."I have it," I said.He arrived twenty minutes later.No knock. I'd left the office door open and he came through like the space had already decided to accommodate him before he arrived. Victor was two steps behind him with a jacket and the specific expression of a man who had already assessed the room before entering it.I slid the satellite image across the desk.Dante looked at it. Victor leaned over his sh
Married To My Ex-Husband's Uncle Chapter 56: Xena
Dante.I knew before I sat down.The second my eyes found her across the table the information arrived with the specific clarity of something that doesn't require processing. The posture was Hannah's. The earrings were Hannah's. The way she held the water glass with both hands was practiced enough to be convincing to anyone who hadn't spent six weeks watching the person she was imitating do it differently.Xena held a glass by the stem.Always.I pulled out my chair and sat down and said nothing and looked at the presentation screen like it was the most interesting thing in the room.It wasn't.She was two seats to Adrian's right and she hadn't looked at me since I walked in. That restraint alone told me she'd clocked me the moment the doors opened. Xena not looking at something she was aware of was its own kind of looking.I opened the folder in front of me.What are you doing here?Was she here because someone had put her here.The divorce. The timing of it. I felt it when the door

Xena."The glass," I said.Adrian looked at me."I knocked it off the table." I held his gaze with Hannah's specific steadiness. "Reaching for my clutch. It was an accident." A beat. "Margaret was dramatic about it."Something moved across his face.He looked at me for three seconds. He had weight in every one of them.Then he looked back at the document in his hand."She was dramatic about it," his smile dropped a bit."She's a dramatic woman."He turned the page.I looked at the window and let my shoulders do absolutely nothing that would tell him what the last thirty seconds had cost meThursday arrived the way days arrive when you've been dreading them. Even I didn’t get it, all of a sudden it was morning and the consortium building was waiting somewhere on the other side of it.I stood in the guest bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror.Hannah Cross.I'd spent the last two days becoming her in the small ways that mattered. The way she held her coffee. The way she moved thro
Married To My Ex-Husband's Uncle Chapter 54: Such A Bother
Dante.The club had no sign outside.That was the point. If you needed to know where it was someone had already told you and if nobody had told you then you didn't belong there. I'd been a member for eleven years and had used it exactly four times — each one a conversation that couldn't happen anywhere with walls that talked.Tonight made five.Axel was already there when I arrived.Of course he was. He'd chosen the corner table — back to the wall, clear sightline to both entrances, nobody within comfortable earshot. I noted that when I crossed the room. Whatever else Axel Darwin was he wasn't careless.He watched me sit down without saying anything.The server came. We both ordered without looking at the menu. The server left and the room went back to its particular quality. "You look terrible," Axel placed his hands on the table."Thank you for coming," I said.He looked at me with the expression of a man who had decided how he felt about being here and wasn't going to perform oth
Married To My Ex-Husband's Uncle Chapter 53: Being Hannah
Xena.I woke up knowing three things.My name was Hannah Cross. I had been released from custody after questioning. And somewhere in this penthouse Adrian Yale was already awake, working and filing things about me that I hadn't given him permission to file.I lay on the ceiling for a moment.Get up.The guest room was nice. Everything in it was correct and none of it had the quality of somewhere a person actually lived.I sat up.Hannah in the morning. Hannah woke up slowly and deliberately. Hannah took up space in a bathroom like she'd paid for it. Hannah never rushed and never looked like she was thinking too hard about anything.I could do that.I brushed my teeth and looked at my face in the mirror and had the specific experience of seeing myself and seeing someone else simultaneously. Same face. Different person underneath.Thursday, I thought. Just get to Thursday.He was at the desk when I came out.Jacket off, sleeves pushed to the elbow, consortium documents spread in a speci
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
Married To My Ex-Husband's Uncle Chapter 44: I Want A Divorce
Dante.The cursor hadn't moved in forty minutes.I leaned back. The study ceiling had nothing on it. I looked anyway.What I needed was a distraction. Something that wasn't numbers or Gerald or the particular shape of a problem that kept shifting every time I thought I had the edges of it. A woman
