My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 12: The Negotiation
The meeting was supposed to start at nine.The union rep arrived at eight fifty-two and moved his chair so it faced the door. Sera noticed and said nothing. The three company lawyers arrived together at eight fifty-eight, set their briefcases down in a row, and arranged their water glasses with the careful energy of people expecting a long fight.Sera arrived at nine exactly. One folder. She sat down.Arren Manufacturing. Two hundred and twelve workers, mostly floor staff, average tenure eleven years. A management decision four months ago had changed the overnight shift schedule without union consultation, which violated the existing contract, which had triggered a grievance, which had escalated until both sides were now threatening things they could not actually afford. A Montague logistics partner sat downstream of Arren's supply chain. If Arren collapsed, the disruption cost the family real money.Sera had read every document the night before. She did not bring most of them.The un
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 11: Dante's Visit
Roman was halfway through a contract review when the lobby line rang.He picked up."Mr. Ashford. There's a Mr. Reyes here to see you. He says he doesn't have an appointment."Roman set his pen down.He knew the name. It was in Garrett's brief, attached to the Montague family's inner circle. He had also seen the man in person, once, in his own building lobby the night of the divorce, leaning against the marble pillar with his arms crossed like he belonged there more than Roman did.He almost said no. The word was already formed."Send him up," he said.He did not look too closely at why.He had four minutes. He used them to finish the page, cap his pen, and straighten the stack of folders on his desk. He was behind his desk, jacket on, when Priya knocked and opened the door.Dante Reyes walked in and Priya walked out, and the office went quiet in a particular way.Roman had shared rooms with powerful men his whole career. He knew how they moved, where they put their weight, how they u
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 10: Headlines
The auction had been Sera's idea, which meant it ran exactly the way she wanted.She had chaired the organizing committee for six weeks, quietly, through emails and one in-person meeting where she sat at the far end of the table and let the committee director think he was running things until the last twenty minutes. Then she restructured the entire budget in four decisions and smiled when he said it was a good idea.The Harwick ballroom held three hundred guests. Eighteen auction lots. A dinner program she had timed to the minute, because programs that ran over made people restless and restless people bid less.She had been here for two hours before the room filled.She moved through it the way she moved through any room she had prepared for, which was without effort, because the effort had already happened. She knew which donors needed to feel personally seen before they would open their checkbooks. She knew which table had the difficult personality and who at that table handled him
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 9: Due Diligence
Roman called Garrett Finch on Friday morning.Garrett had been Ashford Global's legal counsel for eleven years. He answered on the second ring, the way he always answered, like he had been expecting it."I need a full brief on Montague Industries," Roman said. "Holdings, structure, key personnel. Everything you can put together."A pause. Not long. Garrett was not a man who let silences stretch, which made the pause noticeable."Sir," he said carefully. "Montague isn't a company you investigate casually.""I'm aware.""They have relationships with certain parties who take an interest in that kind of inquiry. Even through legitimate channels, it tends to get noticed.""Garrett."The second pause was shorter. "Give me until Wednesday."He called back Tuesday afternoon and asked to meet in person. That told Roman two things: the brief was more than expected, and Garrett did not want it discussed over a phone line.They met at four. Garrett came in with a folder under his arm, set it on R
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 8: First Sighting
Roman had eaten at Varro's a dozen times.It was the kind of place that stayed full without advertising itself, dark wood paneling, tables set far enough apart that conversations stayed private. His lunch was with a property developer named Gideon Marsh, a joint venture discussion Roman had not yet decided whether to pursue. Routine. He had done fifty meetings like it.He saw her four steps inside the door.Corner table, slightly removed from the main floor. Four people. Dante on her left, arms loose, posture relaxed in the specific way of someone who was never actually relaxed. A silver-haired man across from her, the kind of face that said lawyer or senior counsel, the kind of expensive suit that said he had been wearing expensive suits for thirty years. A younger man beside him, leaning forward, talking with his hands.And Sera at the center of it, laughing.Not the careful version. Not the contained, appropriate laugh she kept for rooms full of people she did not fully trust. This
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 7: The Notebook
Roman found it again on Saturday morning.He had moved it from the closet to his nightstand the day he discovered it and had not touched it since. It sat there all week next to his phone charger, small and dark green, the cover worn soft at the corners. Isabella had not asked about it. He had not mentioned it.She went to brunch at eleven. The apartment went quiet.He picked it up.The cover felt the same as it had the first time. Soft and warm from a long time of being held. He opened it to the first page and read the first line and understood within thirty seconds that it was not a diary.It was a log. A working document, written in her handwriting, in her voice, tracking the things she was managing. Which was, he was starting to understand, most of everything.The first several pages were contacts and preferences.His parents' wedding anniversary, March fourteenth. A note beside it: send card in advance. His mother prefers something with flowers, not abstract. His father: nothing s
