She noticed it on a Wednesday.

She had left the cardigan at his apartment on Tuesday evening, draped over the reading chair when she packed up her laptop, and said goodnight. She had seen it on the way out and had not picked it up.

Not because she forgot. She saw it and left it anyway.

She thought about this on the drive home. It was a good cardigan. She had not left it because it was expendable. She had left it because leaving it felt right, and she had not interrogated that feeling before act

  • My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret    Chapter 133: The Announcement

    "He’s officially finished, Roman. The ink is dry, the charges are filed, and the board just slammed the vault shut on Aldric’s career."Lars sounded triumphant over the line, his voice crackling with the kind of adrenaline only a legal execution could provide. I sat back in my leather chair, the weight of the last two months finally lifting from my shoulders. It was clean. Aldric was formally charged, the case was moving with the speed of a freight train, and both our families were named cooperative witnesses. No scandal. No back-alley deals. Just a surgical removal of a cancer that had threatened both our empires."Good," I said, my voice like gravel. "Make sure the transition team is ready. I don't want a single ripple in the market.""Already on it. We’re clean, Roman. Completely."I hung up and didn't wait a heartbeat before dialling the only number that mattered. She picked up before the first ring ended."It's done," I said. I didn't need to say anything else."I know," Sera re

  • My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret    Chapter 132: What Dante Notices

    "She’s different, Dante. You can see it, can’t you?"Louisa’s voice was a low murmur over the rim of her crystal glass, but I didn't need her to point out the obvious. I’d been watching. I’d been watching for weeks. As her brother, as the man who had seen her at her highest highs and her most devastating lows, I was the resident expert on the state of Sera Reyes.I leaned against the mahogany bar of the gala, my eyes tracking my sister across the crowded ballroom. She wasn't quieter. That was the first thing I noticed. Usually, when a woman like Sera gets back with a man like Roman Knight, the world expects a softening,a retreat into the background. They expect her to become the polished accessory to his empire.But Sera wasn't performing. She wasn't making herself smaller to fit into the gaps of Roman’s life. She was laughing, her head tilted back, her gestures sharp and confident as she held court with three of the city’s toughest developers. She was exactly as formidable as she had

  • My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret    Chapter 131: The Question That Changes Things

    He made eggs on Sunday morning because he had learned how.Not well, not yet, but correctly, which was different and which he had come to understand was more important than well when you were building a skill rather than performing one. Medium heat. The olive oil is going in first. Waiting the right amount of time before the eggs.She was at the kitchen table reading, the way she was most Sunday mornings now. Her coffee on the right side of her book, her phone face-down, her whole body arranged with the specific ease of someone who was entirely comfortable in the space they were in.He plated the eggs and brought them to the table.He sat across from her. She looked up, glanced at the eggs, and looked back at her book. He ate. She reached for her coffee without looking away from the page. The kitchen was quiet in the good way, the way it was when two people did not need to fill it.He had been thinking about the question for a week."What do you want in five years?" he said.She looke

    She noticed it on a Wednesday.She had left the cardigan at his apartment on Tuesday evening, draped over the reading chair when she packed up her laptop, and said goodnight. She had seen it on the way out and had not picked it up.Not because she forgot. She saw it and left it anyway.She thought about this on the drive home. It was a good cardigan. She had not left it because it was expendable. She had left it because leaving it felt right, and she had not interrogated that feeling before acting on it.By Friday, she had brought a different cardigan to his apartment.She packed it in the morning at the estate without thinking about it, took it out when she arrived, and put it on the reading chair next to the first one. It was not until she looked up from her book twenty minutes later and saw both cardigans on the chair that she registered what she had done.She had not retrieved the first one. She had brought a second.The book was next. A novel she had finished and fully intended t

  • My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret    Chapter 129: Two Months

    The two months were, privately, some of the best weeks Roman could remember.He had not expected this. He had expected the waiting to have a quality of restraint to it, of holding himself back from something, the specific tension of a man who was close to something he wanted and could not yet have it fully. He had been wrong about what the waiting would feel like.It felt like nothing he had a name for. Like living a life, he had been circling for years and had finally walked into.No events. There were no press obligations where they had to manage their proximity. There is no question of what the photograph would communicate or what the caption would say. Just his apartment and her estate and Eleanor's on Sundays and the particular ease of two people who had stopped needing anything from each other except the other person's actual presence.He learned her reading habits.She read in sequences: one serious thing, one not serious thing, cycling between them with the precision she broug

  • My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret    Chapter 128: Savio's Concern

    Savio called the meeting on a Tuesday morning.It's not a formal meeting. He did not send a calendar invitation or go through Ada or have his own assistant arrange a conference room. He called Sera directly on her personal phone at eight fifteen and said he would like her and Dante to come to the estate for lunch and that he had something he wanted to discuss.That was the specific phrasing. Something he wanted to discuss.Sera had known her father for twenty-six years. She knew what that phrasing meant. She confirmed, told Dante, and was at the estate at twelve thirty.Savio was not alarmed. She could tell this immediately from the quality of his manner when she arrived, which was the careful quality rather than the urgent one. He had set the lunch table in the garden because it was a good day for it, which was the kind of decision a man made when he had something to say but was not in a hurry to say it.They ate first. He asked about the Bellini contract, which had finalized the pre

    Roman told himself he was going to clear the air.That was the exact phrase he used in his own head as he watched Sera excuse herself from the chief of surgery and move toward the far end of the room. Clear the air. Practical. Reasonable. They were going to be in the same professional circles and i

    Isabella went to bed at eleven thirty.Roman said he would follow soon. He went to his study instead, removed his jacket, and sat in the chair he had been sitting in most nights since the divorce when there was something he could not set down. He left most of the lights off. Just the desk lamp, its
