My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 78: The Benefit
Roman arrived at the Harrington Foundation benefit at seven thirty and did not look for her. He found Felix near the bar, took a drink, and stayed there for the first twenty minutes. The conversation was easy and unhurried, the kind Felix was good at producing, and Roman was actually in it. Listening to what Felix was saying. Responding to it. Letting it be a conversation rather than something to move through on the way to something else. His lawyers found him at eight. He talked with Garrett about the Pryce update and with two board members about a portfolio matter that didn't require resolution tonight but was worth the informal exchange. He moved through the professional conversations with the presence that Priya had noticed and named and that he was still learning to trust as real rather than temporary. He did not seek Sera out. He knew she was there. He had registered her location from the moment he came through the door, the way you registered certain things without making a
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 77: Roman Waits
A week passed. No response from Sera. Roman had not set a specific day in his mind by which a response would mean something if it had not come. He had sent the letter knowing that a response was not the point. The point was the saying. The saying of things that were true, cleanly and without conditions, to someone who deserved to know they were true. What she did with them was entirely hers. He knew this. He had known it when he handed the envelope to the courier. He continued to know it across seven days of silence that felt, at various moments, like different things. He did not send a follow-up. He had nothing to follow up with. The letter had said what he had to say, and adding to it would have been the same mistake as not saying it clearly enough the first time, just in the other direction. He worked. He worked differently. He could not see this himself, but his team could, and some of them had been watching long enough to understand that something had changed without knowing
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 76: Louisa's Counsel
She told Louisa everything.Not in the organized way, she told things to Dante, sorted by relevance and delivered efficiently. The way you told things to someone who had known you since you were seven and was going to understand them regardless of the order. The joint meeting. Three words said without armour. The envelope on her desk all day. Reading the letter alone in the office with the evening light coming through the windows. The aspirin. The notebook. The Tuesday in March. The last line, three times.Louisa listened without interrupting. Sera could hear her on the other end of the line, fully present, receiving all of it.When Sera finished, the line was quiet."What did you feel when you read it?" Louisa said.Sera looked at the nightstand drawer. The letter inside it. The photo beside it."I don't know," she said."Yes, you do," Louisa said. Simply. Accurate rather than unkind.Sera was quiet."Angry," she said."And?"She pressed her palm flat against the duvet. The texture
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 75: The Letter (Sera's Side)
The office was empty.Evening light at a low angle through the windows. Desk lamp on. The city outside is doing its quiet thing. She had the envelope open and the letter in her hands, one page, his handwriting, and she read it first the way she read everything the first time, quickly, for structure, establishing the shape before she went back to read it properly.She went back and read it properly.He started with the notebook.She held still with that for a moment before she continued. She had known somewhere in the back of her understanding that he had found it and read it. There had been a line months ago, routed through Dante, the phrasing of which had matched something specific from an entry she had written at two in the morning, and she had filed the knowledge and not examined it because examining it would have required her to decide what it meant.He had read the notebook.All of it. She could tell from what he named.She kept reading.The aspirin. Not the general fact of it bu
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 74: The Letter
He rewrote it once. Not because the first version was wrong. Because the first version had been written the night after Dante told him about the deleted email, and some of what he had written then had been replaced by things he understood more clearly now. He took it out of the desk drawer on a Thursday evening and read it from beginning to end and then set it aside and started again. He wrote it in one hour. He had learned that too many drafts produced something managed, and managed was the wrong thing to send. He used the pen that had become the one he used for things that mattered. He did not write long. He started with the notebook. He wrote that he had found it in her nightstand after she left, that he had read it, that he understood now that each entry was a record of a woman making room for a man who was not paying enough attention to know he needed room made. He wrote about tomorrow I leave and the line after it, the one about hoping he found someone who made him want to l
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 73: So Do You
Dante didn't speak.He pulled into city traffic from the legal firm's building, and he drove, and he said nothing, which was the most useful thing he could have done. Sera sat in the back seat with her folder in her lap and the city moving past the windows and three words sitting in the middle of her attention.*So do you.*She had not planned to say it.He had said you look well, quietly, across the conference table in the thirty seconds after the lawyers had found reasons to drift toward the door. The room emptying without quite emptying. Roman still at his end, she at hers, both of them gathering papers. He had said it in the voice of someone, meaning a simple thing and not making it complicated.And she had looked up and the beat had passed and she had said so do you and picked up her folder and left.She replayed it now. The way you replayed something that had arrived faster than your preparation for it.He did look well. That was the factual thing, the first thing. He looked dif

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

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

Sera had been reading for twenty minutes when her phone lit up.Unknown number. She looked at it for one second. Then she set it face-up on the cushion beside her and went back to her page.She knew.She couldn't have explained how. The number was unsaved, clean, nothing her phone recognized. But s
