My Ex Husband Who Despised Me Before, Now Wants Me Back. Chapter 97
The sound reached her first, a great soft roar that squeezed her ears. Then the water struck her like a wall.It was black and bitterly cold. The shock drove the air out of her chest. She sank, turning over and over, with the roar still pressing down on her from above. Something heavy fell into the harbor beside her, a long burning beam that hissed and sank in a cloud of bubbles.She kicked upward and broke the surface, choking. Flames leaped across the sky behind her. Burning pieces of the warehouse rained into the water on every side. Rain and smoke and fire filled the whole world.“Frederick!”Nothing.“Frederick!”She turned in a circle, her heart pounding. There was only black water, bright with orange fire. No head. No hand.She took a breath and dove.Her wet dress dragged at her like chains. The water stung her cut palm. She swam down through the dark, her hands sweeping blindly, until her fingers caught cloth. She grabbed it. A body drifted, limp and heavy, with its head tilt

The six men in dark coats did not move. They stood in a half circle with their hands folded, like men at a funeral.Sarah stared at the ring of gray cans around Frederick’s chair. A thin wire ran from can to can and ended at a small black box on the floor. A red number glowed on its face.10:00.It changed as she watched. 9:59.“You are a clever woman, Miss Moore,” said Voss’s voice from the speaker above. “So I will be direct. On the table to your left, you will find a pen and a document. It transfers every share you own in Aurevia to a company of mine, and it ends your lawsuit against the Williams family. Sign it, and my men will stop the clock.”“And if I do not?”“Then you may enjoy the last ten minutes of Mr. Williams’s life.”Sarah walked to the table. Her legs felt like wet paper. The document was twelve pages long. A pen lay beside it, a fat black one with a gold tip.“I will not sign blind,” she said. Her voice came out steadier than she felt. “I have to read it first.”“You

“To the future,” said Gideon, and lifted his glass.It was Friday night, and the restaurant at the top of the Meridian Tower glittered with candles. They sat at a corner table by the window, with the whole city spread out below like a field of fallen stars. Sarah wore a black dress and her mother’s pearls. Gideon wore a smile he had not worn in years.Across the table sat a slim woman in a gray suit, with short dark hair and a quiet, intelligent face. She lifted her own glass with a little smile.“To the future,” said Elaine Park.Sarah drank. She watched Elaine over the rim.The woman was perfectly calm. She spoke easily about quarterly numbers and the Summit. She laughed at Gideon’s jokes. She had worked for Aurevia for eight months, and in that time she had never once been late, or wrong, or rude. Sarah could not find a flaw. That was the trouble.If you wanted to hide a spy, she thought, you would hire exactly this.All week she had been testing her. She had left a false report on

For a long moment, Frederick did not move.He stood behind the counter with a wooden paddle in one hand, and the warmth of the oven at his back, and looked at the man who had burned down his life. His heart was going very fast and very slowly at the same time.“You should not be here,” he said.“A free country, I believe.” Voss walked along the counter, trailing one gloved finger over the glass. “I have always admired a good bakery. So honest. So direct. Flour, water, salt, heat. Nothing hidden.” He paused at a tray of rolls. “May I?”“They are not ready.”“Then I shall wait.”He sat down at a little wooden table by the window, as calmly as if he had been invited. He took off his gloves one at a time and laid them side by side.“I will be brief. You are a busy man.”“I have nothing to say to you.”“Then you may listen.” Voss folded his hands. “I have a proposal. It is very simple. In three weeks, a court will decide whether an old piece of paper is real. The Moore agreement. Your fath

Mrs. Greene’s bakery stood at the bottom of Dyer Street, a narrow old building with a blue door and a crooked sign. It smelled of yeast and butter and warm stone. At three in the morning, when the rest of the city was asleep, a single yellow window glowed in its wall like a lit candle.“That is not bread,” said Mrs. Greene, looking at the loaf on the table. “That is a brick.”She was a small, round, floury woman of sixty, with Big Joe’s heavy brows and none of his patience. She had given Frederick an apron on the first day, and a long wooden paddle, and an order to stand where she put him. She had asked him no questions at all.“I followed the recipe,” said Frederick.“You followed the words. Bread is not words.” She slapped a lump of dough on the board in front of him. “Put your hands in it. No, not like that. You are not strangling it. You are talking to it.”He put his hands in. His ribs ached. His healing palms stung against the flour. But under his fingers, the dough was warm and

The safe house was a gray apartment on the sixth floor of a building with no name on the door.Sarah climbed the stairs herself, in her plainest coat, with a hat pulled low. A tired young policewoman let her in and nodded toward the end of the hall.Margaret sat at a small table by the window with a cup of tea she had not touched. She wore a gray cardigan. Her hair was pinned back. She looked ten years older and strangely younger, like a child who has been awake too long.“Thank you for coming,” she said.“You said it was important.”“It is.” Margaret turned the cup in her fingers. “I have been here for two weeks. Reyes has been kind. He has not asked me to say anything I do not want to say. I think he is waiting for me to make up my mind.”Sarah took the other chair. “And have you?”“I think so.” She drew a breath. “I want to tell you what I know about Voss. All of it. Not for you. For myself.”She began slowly, and then faster. She talked for an hour. She described phone calls she h

“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

A few hours later, Sarah stood in front of the house she once called home.The tall iron gates loomed before her like a final judgment, their cold metallic bars glinting under the afternoon sun. The sight alone sent a sharp ache through her chest. Her legs felt unbearably heavy, as though each step
