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had been written the night after Dante told him about the deleted email, and some of what he had written then had been replaced by things he understood more clearly now.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
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 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
