My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband Now CHAPTER 80: THE FOLDER
For a moment, neither of us moved.Marcus stood by the front desk with the brown folder under his arm and the visitor badge on his shirt. His face had gone completely white. The Delane assistant next to him looked at me, then at him, then quickly walked away, like she did not want to be anywhere near what was about to happen.I walked across the white marble floor. My shoes made loud clicking sounds. Every step felt like a mile.I stopped in front of him."Boss," he said. His voice cracked. "Boss, it is not what it looks like.""Then what is it?""I can explain.""Then explain." My voice was shaking. I could not help it. "You told me this morning we were not quitting. You said it in front of everyone. And four hours later, you are standing in Margot Delane's lobby, shaking hands with her people, holding a folder.""Not here." He looked around. People in the lobby were starting to stare. "Please. Not here. Can we go outside?"I did not answer. I turned and walked to the doors. He follo
My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband Now CHAPTER 79: SOMEBODY ELSE'S WINDOW
Nobody in the kitchen said a word.On the little TV, Sabrina's face smiled out at us. Soft. Sweet. Perfect. Behind her, the yellow curtains were blowing in a pretend wind from a big fan somewhere off the screen. The tiny blue flowers on the fabric were almost exactly like mine. Almost. Not quite. Close enough that anyone would think they were the same.Damien was standing very still beside me. I could feel him getting colder and colder, the way he did when someone touched what was his."Turn it up," I said quietly.Mrs. Bell picked up the remote and turned it up.The picture changed again. Now Sabrina was sitting in a white chair in a white room, talking to the reporter. She wore a pale blue dress and small pearl earrings. Her hair was done in soft waves. She looked like an angel."So tell us, Sabrina," said the reporter. "Where did the idea for *The Window Collection* come from?"Sabrina smiled and looked down at her hands. Then she looked up again with shiny eyes."It is very person
My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband Now CHAPTER 78: A WEAK HEART
"Mom!"Damien dropped to his knees on the kitchen floor. Broken glass crunched under him. He did not even notice."Mom. Mom, look at me."Catherine did not open her eyes. Her face was gray. Her lips were a strange pale blue. Her hand was still pressed against her chest, and the other hand was still holding Mia's little pink frame.I stood in the doorway. For one second, I could not move. Then something in me woke up, and I ran for my phone."Is she breathing?" I said. "Damien. Is she breathing?"He bent down and put his ear close to her mouth. "Yes. Yes. But it is very slow."I called 911. My hands were shaking so badly I pressed the wrong numbers the first time. When a woman answered, I spoke as fast and as clear as I could. A woman. Sixty three. Chest pain. Weak heart. She fell. She is breathing, but she is not waking up. The gray house on the cliff road above Seabrook. The one with the purple flowers."Help is coming," said the woman on the phone. "Stay with her. Is she lying on he
My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband Now CHAPTER 77: FOR MOM
"No!" Catherine screamed.The little pink envelope flew up over the garden. It turned over and over in the wind, like a leaf. It went past the purple flowers. Past the low stone wall. Toward the edge of the cliff, where the grass ended and there was nothing but air and the sea crashing on the rocks far below.Damien ran.I had never seen him run like that. Not even at the supermarket. He did not think. He did not look back. He ran across the grass in his long dark coat, jumped over the stone wall, and went straight toward the edge."Damien!" I shouted. "Damien, stop!"He did not stop.The envelope dipped down. For a second, I thought it was gone. Then the wind changed, and it got caught in a big thorny bush that grew right on the very edge of the cliff. It stuck there, flapping, half in the bush and half in the air.Damien dropped to his knees. Then onto his stomach. He crawled forward on the wet grass until his head and shoulders were hanging over the edge.My heart stopped. I could
My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband Now CHAPTER 76: THE LADY AT THE GATE
For a long moment, nobody said anything.We stood there on the hospital steps in the sunshine. The men on the ladders were still working above us. A drill was buzzing. A white curtain was moving in the window on the fourth floor. Everything looked so normal. People were walking past with flowers and balloons and cups of coffee.But Catherine's face had gone gray."What does she mean?" Damien asked her quietly. "Something you do not know about the fire. What does she mean?"Catherine did not answer. She was holding on to the metal rail of the steps with both hands, as if she might fall."Mom," said Damien.It was the first time he had called her that out loud. I saw it hit her. She closed her eyes for a second. Then she opened them, and she looked very old and very tired."I do not know," she said. "I swear to you, I do not know what she means. I have only met Celia once in my life.""When?"She did not answer that either.Grant came up the steps from the car with his phone in his hand
My Ex's Uncle Is My Husband Now CHAPTER 75: THE SAME HOSPITAL
Nobody said anything for a moment.I lay there on the paper sheet with the cold gel still on my skin. Dr. Park had wiped most of it away, but some was still there, sticky and wet. I could not move. I could not think. I only stared at the dark screen where my baby had just waved at us."What did you see?" Damien asked. His voice was quiet and very steady. Too steady. I knew that voice. It was the voice he used when he was holding something in with both hands.Dr. Park pulled her chair closer to the bed. She did not stand over us. She sat down at our level, the way a good doctor does."I measured a small space at the back of the baby's neck," she said. "There is a little fluid there. All babies have some. It is normal. But in your baby, the space is a little bit bigger than I like to see.""How much bigger?" said Damien."A little. Not a lot." She held up her thumb and finger, very close together. "This is not bad news. I want you to hear that first. It is not bad news. It is a reason t
