My Ex Husband Who Despised Me Before, Now Wants Me Back. Chapter 104
The flat above the bakery had two rooms, a gas ring, a sink, and a window that looked out on a brick wall.Hannah Williams stood in the doorway with a black plastic monitor strapped to her ankle and a small bag in her hand, and did not move for a full minute. Frederick stood behind her, holding her wheelchair, saying nothing. A thin yellow light came through the dirty glass. The room smelled of damp paper and yesterday’s bread.“This is where you live,” said Hannah.“Yes.”“There is no carpet.”“No.”“There is no…” She turned her head slowly, taking in the narrow bed, the single chair, the bare bulb. “There is nothing here at all.”“There is bread,” said Frederick. “Downstairs. It is quite good.”She almost laughed. It came out as a strange dry cough. “I have owned eleven houses in my life,” she said. “I never once knew how little a person needed.”He gave her the bed. She protested for five minutes and then, from sheer weakness, lay down. He folded a blanket on the floor beside it an

Judge Harlan looked over her silver spectacles at a courtroom so full that people were standing along the walls.On the left side sat Sarah, in a plain dark suit, with Beatrice beside her and a team of tired lawyers behind. On the right sat Armitage, in his butter-smooth gray, and a row of hard-faced men in better suits. In the back row, a tall man with a plaster cast sat all alone, with his hat in his lap.He had not been told to come. He had come anyway.“I have received the report of the independent laboratory,” said Judge Harlan. She tapped a thick blue folder. “It is forty-one pages long. I will not read it all. I will tell you its findings.”The room went silent.“The ink on the Moore Share Agreement is consistent with the year it bears. The paper is consistent. The handwriting of Thomas Moore has been compared with seven known samples and found to match. The notary’s stamp matches Mr. Finch’s own records, which have been verified. The codicil to the will of Edward Williams has

Gideon did not answer his phone.Sarah called at nine, then at eleven, then at three. She called at midnight, and at five the next morning, with her heart thumping and her thumb shaking on the glass. It rang six times, then went to the cold flat voice of his voicemail. This is Gideon Hale. Please leave a message.She did not leave one. She did not know what she would say.On the third day, she went to his building. The night porter looked embarrassed. “Mr. Hale is away, Miss Moore. He left yesterday morning.”“Where?”“Tokyo, I believe. A board meeting. He did not say when he would be back.”She stood in the cool marble lobby where she had once held his hand, and felt as if the whole floor were slowly tipping her into a hole.She went to the airport. She did not know why. She had no plan. She only knew that Hale International kept a private jet on the east runway, and that on Thursdays it flew to Asia at five in the afternoon. She stood by the glass wall of the departure lounge in her

She did not sleep. At six in the morning, she stood in front of her mirror in a gray suit with her hair pinned tight and a face like a closed door. Her eyes were swollen. She covered them with cold clothes and then with powder.She had made a decision. It was not a good one. She knew it was not a good one. But she was too tired and too hurt to be wise, and a small, hard, frightened voice in her head kept saying, End it. End it properly. Or you will be on that pier again, kissing that man, for the rest of your life.At seven, she walked into the bakery on Dyer Street.The little shop was full. It was the morning rush, and a long line of customers snaked out of the blue door and along the pavement, men in work boots and women with prams, schoolchildren eating warm rolls out of paper bags. The whole street smelled of yeast and butter. Behind the counter, Mrs. Greene was slapping loaves into bags with flour on her cheeks. And at the far end of the long wooden table, in a white apron with

The text arrived at ten o’clock at night, while Sarah was alone in her office with a cold cup of tea and a stack of papers she was not reading.We need to talk. Tonight.She read it three times. Then she put the phone face down on the desk and folded her hands, and waited, with her heart beating slowly and heavily in her throat.He came at half past ten. She heard his steps in the corridor before he reached the door, unhurried and a little slower than usual. When he came in, he did not turn on the big light. He only shut the door and stood there in the soft yellow glow of her desk lamp, in his long dark coat, with his hands in his pockets.He looked like a man who had come to say goodbye to a house.“Gideon.” She smiled, a bright, careful smile. “You look terrible. Sit down. I will ring for coffee.”“Do not ring for anything.” He did not sit. “Frederick told me about the kiss.”The room went very quiet.Sarah did not move. She had practiced this moment for three nights, lying awake in

Frederick did not wait for the doctor’s permission.On the third day, he walked out of the hospital in a borrowed coat, with his wrist in plaster and a plastic bag of pills in his pocket. He caught a bus back to Dyer Street. When Mrs. Greene saw him come through the bakery door, she dropped a tray of rolls and burst into loud, furious tears.“You stupid, stupid boy! The whole city has been on the television!”“I am sorry.”“I thought you were dead!” She flung her floury arms round his neck and hugged him so hard that his cracked ribs groaned. “Do not ever, ever do that to me again!”“I will do my best,” said Frederick, with a wheeze.By the evening he was sitting at the little wooden table by the window with a cup of tea, and a plaster cast on the table beside it. The bakery was closed. The street lamp outside made a yellow pool on the glass. He had not turned on the light.He was thinking about a kiss.He had been thinking about it for three days. He had turned it over and over, as a

“When she comes, we are getting a divorce, right away!”Sarah froze.The words sliced through the quiet hallway like a blade… sharp, merciless, unforgiving. For a second, she thought her mind was playing tricks on her. Maybe exhaustion had finally won. Maybe grief had begun to twist reality.But no

“I can’t believe what you just did, Gideon,” Sarah said slowly, her voice low but trembling with a mix of shock and something far more dangerous, something darker, as her eyes followed the direction Frederick and Margaret had just disappeared through, their figures fading beyond the glass doors li

“Good morning, Frederick… I’ve always loved you.”The voice was soft. Familiar. Wrapped in warmth.Frederick smiled in his sleep.In his dream, everything was bright…almost painfully so.He stood at the altar, dressed in a perfectly tailored tuxedo, the grand hall filled with white roses and murmuri

Last night after Frederick sent Sarah out from his house, he sank into the leather chair by the window.The house was quiet.Too quiet.Margaret and his mother, Hannah, had left hours ago…right after Sarah walked out with her suitcases. Margaret had followed Hannah to her house, happily offering to
