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had been written the night after Dante told him about the deleted email, and some of what he had written then had been replaced by things he understood more clearly now.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
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 23: Intentional
Sera knew he had arrived at ten forty-three because Ada sent one line through the internal system: *He's here.*She finished the paragraph she was reading. Made two notes in the margin. Poured herself water from the carafe on her desk. At eleven o'clock she picked up the Draven folder and walked to

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

The board meeting was Tuesday at nine.Roman lost the thread at nine twenty-two.Hartwell was mid-sentence about Q3 projections and Roman was looking at the numbers on the page in front of him and they were not moving through him the way numbers normally did. He found the right column a beat too la

Garrett arrived at nine with a folder he had not sent ahead.That was the first thing Roman noticed. Garrett sent documents in advance. Eleven years of working together, and the rule had never changed: a client should never be surprised in a meeting. The fact that he was carrying something Roman ha
