My Ex Called Me Fat, Now His Father-in-Law Wants Me A Known Cage
Chapter 114: A Known CagePOV: OdetteThe gates recognized my face before I'd even rolled the window down, and I sat in the back of that car watching them swing open, numb in a way that scared me more than the fury had.I didn't cry on the drive over. I'd done enough of that in his bathroom mirror, blotting mascara with shaking hands, telling myself over and over that I wasn't going to let him watch me fall apart. By the time the estate came into view, the crying had burned itself out completely, replaced by something colder and flatter, a kind of exhausted clarity I had only ever felt once before, standing in a ballroom with a gift box slipping from my fingers.My parents were in the morning room when I walked in, my mother already dressed, my father reading something on his tablet, both of them looking up with the particular wariness they'd worn around me for weeks now."You look dreadful," my mother said, setting down her coffee. "Where have you been?""Doesn't matter.""It matters
My Ex Called Me Fat, Now His Father-in-Law Wants Me Down the Hall
Chapter 113: Down the HallPOV: NikolaiThe elevator doors closed before I reached them, and I stood there a long moment staring at my own distorted reflection in the brushed steel, phone still clutched hard against my chest where she'd shoved it.I looked at the email again. I'd already read it once with her standing in front of me, every word of it landing in pieces I hadn't had time to properly assemble before she was already walking away.Re: Rhodes Property Transfer: Confirmed.Five million dollars. Title transferred. Framing confirmed for delivery. A gesture of goodwill, meant to smooth things over with Clara.I am not going to stand in this hallway and pretend I don't understand exactly how that looks, I told myself, and the thought arrived flat, clinical, the way I used to review a losing contract before deciding how much of it could still be salvaged.Nothing about this one could be salvaged. I understood that the second I actually let myself look at the timestamp the way she
My Ex Called Me Fat, Now His Father-in-Law Wants Me Ask Her
Chapter 112: Ask HerPOV: Odette"My email." He said it slow, confusion still thick in his voice, still half-caught in sleep. "Odette, what are you talking about.""Check it." I didn't move from where I stood, my back nearly against the wall, the marble cold even through my dress. "I'm not going to say it for you."He pulled his phone from his pocket, the same phone I'd set down careful on his nightstand twenty minutes ago, and I watched his thumb move across the screen, watched his eyes scan whatever he found there, watched the exact second it landed.His face went pale."Odette, that's not...""Don't." My voice cracked sharp across the hallway, louder than I meant it, and I didn't care who heard it in that quiet, expensive building. "Don't you dare tell me what that is. I read it myself. Five million dollars. A gesture of goodwill. Sent at eleven forty-seven last night, Nikolai. While I was still in your bed.""I can explain the timing.""I don't want an explanation for the timing."
My Ex Called Me Fat, Now His Father-in-Law Wants Me Silence
Chapter 111: SilencePOV: OdetteI got dressed in silence, every motion careful, deliberate, the particular quiet of someone trying not to shatter something further along with themselves.My dress still had glass dust caught in the hem from the restaurant, a fine, glittering reminder of hours ago that felt like days now. I pulled it on anyway, the fabric wrinkled and cold against skin that an hour ago had felt warm for the first time in weeks, and avoided looking at the bed where he still slept, one arm stretched across the space I'd just vacated like he was reaching for me even unconscious.The zipper caught halfway up my spine, and I had to twist to work it loose, the small, stupid struggle almost enough to break whatever composure I'd managed to scrape together so far.I am not going to let myself fall apart standing in this room, I told myself, my hands shaking slightly as I reached for my shoes. Whatever I feel about this, I can feel it somewhere that isn't his apartment.I thoug
My Ex Called Me Fat, Now His Father-in-Law Wants Me After
Chapter 110: AfterPOV: OdetteI woke slow, the kind of waking that comes with sun already warm through unfamiliar curtains, my body heavy and loose in a way it hadn't been in weeks. For one long, peaceful second I just let myself exist there, Nikolai's arm still draped across my waist, his breathing deep and even behind me.He'd finally fallen asleep. I turned carefully, not wanting to wake him, and found his face unguarded in a way I'd never once seen it in daylight. Every careful line of control smoothed out, younger somehow, like sleep had stripped away ten years of armor along with everything else.The light through the curtains had that pale, early quality that never lasts long, the kind that made the whole room look softer than it actually was. I lay there a minute just watching him breathe, some small, foolish part of me still half-tangled in the warmth of last night, still not ready to let the morning start.His phone sat on the nightstand, screen dark. I reached for it on pu
My Ex Called Me Fat, Now His Father-in-Law Wants Me What He Thought Had Died
Chapter 109: What He Thought Had DiedPOV: NikolaiShe'd fallen asleep somewhere past four, her head tucked against my chest, one hand still loosely curled where it had found mine before exhaustion finally won out over everything else the night had handed her.I didn't sleep. I lay there instead, watching her, the city's pale gray light just starting to edge the curtains.The soft, even rhythm of her breathing. The faint crease between her brows that never fully smoothed out even in sleep, like some part of her stayed braced against the world even now. The mark on her shoulder, already fading from an angry red into something softer, something that would be gone entirely within a few weeks unless I did something about it I had no right to consider yet.I thought of Sofia.Not with the guilt I expected. Something gentler this time. A quiet acknowledgment rather than an accusation, like a door I'd kept locked for ten years had simply been left open instead of broken down.Sofia would hav
