PRESENT DAY

Noah stared at Andy as the last of his confession settled over the room.

For several seconds, he couldn't speak. He couldn't even seem to breathe properly as his mind replayed everything he had just heard. The stolen phone, the money paid to Daniel, the staged encounter, Veronica's decision to participate, and the ten-second video call that had destroyed his marriage. Every detail was worse than the one before it, and the longer he listened, the more sick he felt.

    Emma shook her head, tears slipping down her cheeks as she tried to steady her breathing."And now I find out that it was all a lie. That I spent six months hating you for something you never did, while the things you actually did to me are still sitting right here between us."Noah's face tightened. "I know.""Do you?" She looked at him sharply. "Because I need you to understand something. I am relieved, Noah. More relieved than I can explain. I don't have to live with the thought of you touching another woman while I was still your wife. I don't have to wonder whether you looked at Veronica and gave her something you had always refused to give me. That matters to me. It matters more than you probably realize."Her fingers tightened against his jaw."But I am not the woman who left your house six months ago."Noah went still.Emma drew a shaky breath, trying to contain the feelings rushing through her. "That woman spent three years believing that if she loved you enough, if she was p

    Emma kept her eyes on the fireplace, determined not to look at Noah every few seconds just to check whether he was feeling better.It was ridiculous how much effort it took.She had spent the entire night telling herself that she would hear him out if she decided to let him in, but she had never imagined that seeing him in such a miserable state would affect her this much. She had expected him to arrive looking composed, perhaps with that familiar confidence that made him seem untouchable, ready to explain himself and convince her to listen.Instead, he sat across from her with a thick blanket around his shoulders, trembling so badly that she had begun to worry about how long he had been exposed to the cold.She hated that she was worried.She hated even more that she couldn't simply turn off the part of herself that still cared whether he was warm, whether he had eaten, and whether he was feeling well. That part of her had survived everything, including the humiliation, the lonelines

    Noah had never been good at waiting.He was used to making decisions and watching people move immediately to carry them out. At Walker Global, nobody made him repeat himself. If he wanted a meeting, it was arranged. If he wanted information, it was brought to him. If he wanted something fixed, people worked until it was fixed.He had spent most of his life believing that was simply how things worked when a person had enough power.But standing outside the Park Avenue mansion, with the cold creeping through his clothes and a security guard waiting for his response, Noah realized there was nothing he could do to make Emma decide to see him."She hasn't given us an answer yet, sir," the guard repeated politely.Noah nodded. "Then I'll wait."The guard hesitated. "Would you like us to inform her that you're still here?""No. She knows I'm here. Don't keep going back to her on my account."He watched the man return to his post, then looked up at the mansion. The windows glowed faintly agai

    Emma woke with a shiver when a cold breeze swept across her face, disturbing her sleep and making her pull the covers closer around herself. For a moment, she lay still, confused by the sudden cold, until another gust of wind brushed past her and reminded her that she had left the balcony window open before going to bed.She groaned softly and pushed herself upright, intending to close it before returning to sleep, but the moment her feet touched the cold floor, her mind went straight to Noah.He was still outside.The thought came so suddenly that she stopped halfway to the window, staring into the darkness beyond the glass. She had spent hours telling herself that his decision to wait was entirely his problem, that he was a grown man who could make his own choices, and that she had no obligation to worry about him simply because he had once been her husband.Yet, as she listened to the wind sweeping through the trees outside, she found herself wondering whether he had finally left.

    Emma stepped into her parents' mansion with a satisfied sigh, slipping off her heels as soon as the door closed behind her. Her feet were aching, her shoulders felt heavy, and there was a faint smudge of ink on the side of her hand from the hours she had spent working at her studio, but none of that was enough to take the smile off her face as she set her handbag on the console table and stretched her tired arms above her head.God, she had missed this.Working at Aurora had become surprisingly enjoyable, especially now that she had the freedom to make decisions without constantly worrying about someone questioning her authority. However, the responsibility that came with managing such a vast business was nothing like running her own design studio. At Aurora, every decision carried consequences that could affect hundreds of employees, millions in revenue, and the future of an empire that had existed long before she became part of it. Even on good days, there was always another problem

    Evelyn gave a humorless laugh. "You make it sound as though the only thing that went wrong in your marriage was a video, but you and I both know that is not true. Emma did not leave you because of one terrible morning, and I will not allow you to convince her that if she had only known the truth, she would have been happy to stay.""I am not trying to convince her of that," Noah answered immediately, his voice roughening with the effort it took to keep himself from raising it. "I know what I did to our marriage, and I know the video is not responsible for all the reasons she left me. I am not asking you to help me bring her home, Mrs. Brown, because I have no right to ask that of her anymore. I just need the chance to tell her what happened, even if she decides she never wants to see me again afterward."He had never imagined himself saying those words to anyone, much less Emma's mother, but the thought of Emma continuing to believe that he had betrayed her while he remained silent wa
