My Fiancée Married My Sister Chapter 64
I called Margaret the next morning, my hands steady in a way that surprised me, and asked her to meet me— not at her house, not at mine, somewhere neutral where neither of us would have the advantage of familiar walls.She chose a small café near her office, the kind of place with quiet corner tables and enough ambient noise to keep a conversation private even in public. She was already seated when I arrived, and something in her face— a tightness around the eyes, a stillness in her hands— told me she already suspected this wasn't a casual visit."Jasmine." She stood briefly, then sat again, unsure of the right greeting for whatever this was about to become. "You said you needed to talk. You sounded serious on the phone.""I am." I sat across from her, the envelope with the letter tucked carefully in my bag, though I didn't reach for it yet. "I need to ask you something, and I need you to actually answer me honestly. No deflecting, no changing the subject to something more comfortable
My Fiancée Married My Sister Chapter 63
We drove out to the estate Saturday morning, the whole world outside the car window looking different than it had on any previous drive out— sharper somehow, more vivid, like the confirmation had recalibrated even the ordinary scenery into something worth actually seeing."How do you feel?" Noah asked, his hand steady over mine on the console."I don't have a word for it yet," I admitted. "Something between grief and joy that doesn't sit comfortably as either one alone. I keep thinking about a man I'll never get to meet, who apparently loved my mother enough to write to her before her own wedding, and I don't know how to hold that alongside being happy about who I turned out to be.""You don't have to resolve it today," Noah said gently. "Some things you just carry both at once, for a while, until they figure out how to sit together."Eleanor met us at the door with an entirely different energy than any previous visit — not careful, not guarded, just openly, unabashedly emotional, her

Noah didn't look convinced, and I didn't fully blame him. "You believe him," he said carefully, sitting down across from me. "Just like that. After weeks of threats and burner phones and stolen samples.""I don't believe him blindly," I clarified. "I believe the desperation underneath it. There's a difference. People who are genuinely calculating don't crack the way he cracked once someone actually asked what he was really angry about.""That's remarkably charitable of you." Noah's expression softened slightly, some of the tension easing out of his shoulders. "Even for you.""Maybe." I leaned back against the couch, exhaustion finally catching up with the adrenaline of the call. "Or maybe I just recognize what it looks like, wanting someone to notice you're hurting so badly you'll do something destructive just to force the reaction. I spent a long time being quietly furious instead of loudly furious, because loud never got me anywhere in my family. Daniel just found a louder version o

My whole body went still, the phone suddenly heavy against my ear. I glanced toward the hallway, toward the low murmur of Noah's voice still audible through his office door, and made a split-second decision to keep talking rather than call him over immediately."I don't think we have anything to say to each other," I said, keeping my voice as even as I could manage despite my racing pulse."I disagree." Daniel's voice carried an easy, unbothered confidence that unsettled me more than aggression would have. "I think we have quite a lot to discuss, actually. More than Eleanor's lawyers would probably like.""If you have something to say, say it to them. I'm not doing this alone, over the phone, with someone who's spent weeks trying to intimidate me.""Intimidate is a strong word." A faint, humorless laugh. "I'd call it information sharing. Someone should be honest with you, Ms. Reed, since apparently my aunt has decided honesty is a resource to be rationed out on her own timeline.""Ele

The next few days passed in a tense, watchful quiet, Eleanor's legal team working overtime to document the discarded sample's chain of custody while Marcus quietly tracked any sign of Daniel Voss surfacing publicly with whatever he thought he had. Nothing came. No article, no statement, no further anonymous texts. The silence should have felt like relief. Instead it felt like held breath."He's waiting," Noah said one evening, studying the latest update from Marcus with a frown. "For the real confirmation to go public. He wants maximum damage, not an early strike that gives us time to prepare a defense.""So we just keep waiting too," I said, exhausted by the whole strange chess match of it. "Watching for a move that might not come for weeks.""We keep living," Noah corrected gently. "Waiting doesn't have to mean stopping everything else."He was right, and I forced myself to lean into that advice over the following week, throwing myself back into the collection's momentum— the depart
