My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 72: The Joint Meeting
The conference room was neutral ground by design.Not Montague Industries. Not Ashford Global. A legal firm both families had used separately over the years, a conference room on the nineteenth floor with a long table and good light and the specific impersonal quality of spaces that belonged to no one. Pryce and Garrett had arranged the seating without being asked, which told Sera that both of them understood exactly what kind of meeting this was and had made practical decisions accordingly.Montague counsel on one side. Ashford counsel on the other. Dante is near the window at the far end. Lars near the door at the near end. Roman and Sera at opposite ends of the table, which was the professional arrangement and also the only one that would have allowed anyone in the room to breathe normally.Sera arrived first. Roman arrived ninety seconds later. They acknowledged each other with a nod across the length of the table. Professional. Clean. The room registered it and moved on.Pryce op
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 71: Savio's Move
Savio brought it up over lunch on a Wednesday.Not at the estate. At the small restaurant near Montague Industries, where he had been eating since before Sera was born, the corner table, the owner who knew his order and didn't hover. Sera had lunch here with him four or five times a year for the kind of conversation that went better outside any building, either of them owned.She had thought today was just lunch.They were halfway through the meal when Savio put down his fork and said: "There are two remaining threads on the Aldric legal closure."She looked at him. She kept eating."I'm aware," she said. "Pryce is handling our end.""He is. The issue is that both threads require coordinated resolution between Montague counsel and Ashford counsel." He picked up his water. "The documentation affects both families' legal positions. Submitting independently creates a risk of inconsistency that could reopen exposure on both sides." He set the glass down. "The simplest path is a joint meet
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 70: Midpoint
Roman was in the study at eleven.No whiskey. He hadn't been drinking the way he had been drinking in the months before the divorce and the months immediately after. That had been a specific kind of numbing, and he had stopped it without making a dramatic decision about stopping it, the way you stopped things sometimes when the reason for them had quietly changed.He was reading. A book Felix had mentioned off-handedly at the conference, the way Felix mentioned things he thought were worth someone's time. Roman had ordered it the following week and had been working through it slowly for a month. He reads differently now. Not the way he used to, with one part of his attention while the rest of him was somewhere else. He was learning to put all of it in one place.His phone was face-down on the desk.The penthouse was different since Isabella had gone. Quieter, yes, but different in a more specific way, the way spaces were different when something wrong had been removed and you had time
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 69: First Name
Dante had suggested the coffee shop. That detail mattered. Roman had requested the meeting, a brief in-person check on the remaining Aldric cleanup that could have been handled by phone but that Roman had wanted to handle differently. Dante had responded with a location that belonged to neither of them. Not Ashford Global. Not Montague Industries. Somewhere neutral. Dante's choice. Roman arrived first. He ordered, found a table near the window but not in it, and was sitting with his coffee when Dante came in at two minutes past. They shook hands. Dante sat. He ordered. The quality of his attention in person was the same as over the phone: precise, unhurried, taking in everything, and responding to what mattered. "Three items remaining," Roman said. "The Aldric legal team's final exposure disclosure, coming to Pryce by end of week. The secondary filing on the two collapsed vehicles from the proxy period. And the Harrington matter, which Garrett is handling through its own channel."
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 68: Momentum
The quarterly board meeting started at nine sharp. Twelve members around the table. The legitimate side of Montague operations, the part the world saw and all twelve of them served. Sera had chaired this meeting four times now. The first time, three of the twelve had watched her with the specific quality of attention that meant they were waiting to find out whether she was real. Two years of numbers later, none of them watched her that way anymore. She opened without preamble. "The Devlin results first," she said. "Then the northern portfolio review. Then, the foundation allocation, which we're resolving before lunch." Twelve people settled. The room found its productive stillness within the first two minutes, the way it did when a meeting was run well. She had learned to produce this from watching Savio. She could produce it reliably now. The Devlin acquisition had closed eleven months ago at a price point that drew scepticism from two board members at the time. Ricci had voted
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 67: The Deleted Email
The call with Dante was fifteen minutes. Aldric cleanup. Mostly confirmation, the kind of call where both people already knew what the information was going to be and were going through the steps because the steps mattered. The remaining legal exposure, narrowing toward closure. The shell company documentation is going to Pryce by the end of the week. The Harrington situation is moving through Garrett's team quietly and on schedule. Roman was at his desk. Late. Past eight. Pen in hand, the Pryce summary open in front of him, notes in the margin the way he made notes when he wanted his hands occupied while he was thinking. "I think that covers the operational items," Dante said. "It does," Roman said. A pause on the line. He had learned the quality of Dante's pauses over the past months. Professional pauses sounded one way. The other kind sounded different. This one was the other kind. Roman waited. "She wrote you something once," Dante said. "Six weeks before the board situati
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 14: The Don
The Montague dining room held ten comfortably and twenty when it needed to.Tonight it held seven. Rosa had set the good china without being asked, the candles in the silver holders that only came out for family, the specific red that Savio reserved for evenings that were not business. These detail

Garrett Finch called on a Tuesday and asked if she had thirty minutes.Sera recognized the name immediately. Roman's legal counsel for over a decade. She had met him twice during the marriage, briefly, at functions where he had been professionally warm and she had been the wife and neither of them

Isabella came home at three thirty to find Roman in the sitting room with no lights on, and the notebook closed on the coffee table in front of him.She set her bag down. Looked at him. Looked at the notebook. "What is that?""Sit down," he said.She sat across from him with the careful posture of

Sera arrived at seven with Dante and knew within ninety seconds that Roman was not yet in the room.She knew the way she had always known things about him, before the information reached her brain. The room felt like a room that had not yet changed. She greeted the hospital director at the entrance
