My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 87: I Know
She had saved his number on a Saturday morning and had not responded for two days.She had put the phone down after saving it and gone back to her coffee and the kitchen window and told herself she was not going to reply from the immediate place, the reactive place, the place where you received something significant and moved toward it before you understood whether you were moving from honesty or from the reflex of having been reached.Sunday passed. She went to the garden, called her father, and sat on the bench. She did not respond.She wrote the first response Sunday evening at the desk in the sitting room with the lamp on. Three sentences. She looked at them and deleted them. They explained too much. He had not asked for an explanation.The second response came Monday morning before leaving for the office. Two sentences. One of them was fully true, and one was not quite true, and she was not going to send something that was only partially honest. She deleted it.The third was a qu
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 86: Unsaved
He sent it on a Saturday morning from his own phone. Not through Garrett. Not through Dante's number, which had become the channel for things that needed a third party between them. His own phone, his own number, which she would not have saved because he had never texted her directly from it. Not during the marriage, when they had lived together and had not needed to. Not after, when there had been nothing to say and then things that had been routed through proper channels that had held both of them at the correct distance. He had stepped outside the proper channels. He had written the message in the study and looked at it for six minutes and then sent it without changing a word. He put the phone on the desk and sat with what he had done. He did not know if she would save his number. He did not know if she would respond, or when, or what the response would be when it came. He had sent it anyway, which was the point, which had always been the point since the letter, since the gate
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 85: What She Orders
The morning had nothing in it until ten.This was not an accident. Sera had started building these two months ago, not every week, but with enough regularity that they had become a real feature of her schedule rather than an oversight. She had not announced it to anyone. She had simply started doing it and found that the mornings she protected this way were different in quality from the ones she did not.She made her own coffee.Rosa was not yet in. The kitchen was quiet and entirely hers, the particular quality of an early morning in a house before anyone else arrived to inhabit it. She measured the coffee, waited while it ran, and poured it into the cup she had been using since she was twenty-two. The one she always reached for without deciding to.She took it to the sitting room.The flowers were on the small table beside the lamp. White ones. She had ordered them herself, from the shop in the city that had been in her notebook for years under the heading of things she meant to do.
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 84: What Dante Sees
Dante had been watching Sera Montague for eleven years. He had watched her take the company from her father's hands without dropping a single thing. He had watched her organize a marriage around a man who was not paying attention and then leave it without making a scene. He had watched her go to Milan and come back with yellow flowers and something restored that had been quietly disappearing for three years. He was good at watching. It was the most useful thing he did. He had been watching Roman Ashford for considerably less time. The past year had provided sufficient material. He had watched Roman come to the estate gate on a Tuesday night in November and sit there for twenty-three minutes without once calling through to be let in. Dante had been at a different window than Sera when the headlights pulled away. He had noted the time. Not one phone call to the intercom. Not one request. Twenty-three minutes and then gone. He had watched Sera stand at her window for four minutes af
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 83: The Close-Out
Ada brought it at ten on a Friday morning.She set it on the desk without comment and left. Sera was mid-sentence in a review document. She finished the sentence, put the pen down, and picked up the envelope.Ashford Global letterhead. Her name and full title were typed correctly. No urgency marking. Single page weight.She opened it.Standard professional language, clean and complete. Formal acknowledgement of the concluded Aldric matter. Appreciation for the collaboration between both families' legal and security teams. Note of the satisfactory resolution of all outstanding exposure. Two paragraphs, correct in every detail, signed by Garrett Finch, General Counsel, Ashford Global.She read it through once.She was about to set it down when she saw the bottom of the page.Below Garrett's signature block, in handwriting that was not Garrett's, a single letter.Nothing else. There is no sentence attached to it. There was no explanation of what it meant or what she was supposed to do wi
My Ex Husband's Biggest Regret Chapter 82: Aldric Ended
The filing went in on a Thursday.Garrett and the Montague legal team had coordinated the submission over two weeks, building the evidence package from Lars's documentation and the Montague intelligence files and the shell company exposure that had been accumulating since the first forty-seven page file arrived on Roman's desk. Comprehensive. Exact. Quiet. No press statement. No advance notice. Both families preferred it that way and had said so through separate channels without needing to discuss it directly.The three remaining shell companies were exposed and frozen by the end of business Thursday. The regulatory investigation opened Friday morning on three separate counts, arising apparently independently from different directions because that was how the documentation had been structured.Aldric's operational network had no remaining functional components.Roman was at his desk when Lars brought the confirmation. He was working, doing what he now did in the hours after the signif

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

Monday night, Roman ate dinner alone at the kitchen table. He had ordered from the place two streets over that he had always meant to try and never had because there had always been something else happening at the hour when it became relevant. Before he sat down, he put his phone face-down on the
