My Husband Brought Another Woman, I Chose His Best Friend Chapter 225
Liam kept working during the days, the way he always had, the office the one place that still made sense when nothing else did, when the rest of his life felt suspended somewhere between hope and dread. But in the evenings, this time, he didn't go home to an empty apartment and sit with the silence until it hollowed him out the way it had before the board vote, staring at the closet, at the untouched side of the bed. This time he decided, deliberately, consciously, that silence wasn't something to survive alone anymore.He called Eleanor first."I want to understand," he told her, sitting in her formal sitting room for the second time in as many months, though this visit felt different from the last, less like an interrogation and more like an actual conversation between two people trying to reach each other honestly. "Not just the history with Drew's father, not just the business side of it. I want to understand what it was actually like for you, living with someone who managed inste

Elena's question stayed with me for days.I turned it over in the shower, in line at the grocery store, in the quiet stretches of Amanda's apartment after Zoe had gone to bed and the house settled into its evening silence, the kind of quiet that used to feel peaceful and now just felt like space for questions I couldn't answer. When does it become about the men, and when does it become about what you keep agreeing to accept.I didn't have an answer. But I knew I couldn't keep circling the question without actually looking at something I'd avoided for years, something I'd packed away along with half my old life when I left Daniel and never fully unpacked again."Do you still have those boxes from my old apartment?" I asked Amanda one evening, standing in her hallway closet doorway, my arms crossed against the sudden nervousness of asking. "The ones I dropped off after the divorce and never picked back up?""They're in the storage unit downstairs. Why do you ask?""I want to look throug

I called Elena on a Sunday morning, the time difference working in my favor for once, catching her with a cup of coffee still in hand and Marco somewhere in the background making breakfast for their kids, the sound of clattering pans drifting faintly through the line."Nina." Her voice warmed instantly through the phone, familiar in a way that loosened something tight in my chest before we'd even really started talking. "I was starting to worry you'd fallen off the earth entirely.""I've been dealing with something.""I gathered that much from Amanda's texts, though she wouldn't give me details. She said it was yours to share, not hers, which I respected, even though it drove me a little crazy waiting."I sat curled in the corner of Amanda's guest room, the phone pressed to my ear, sunlight cutting a thin line across the carpet, and found myself telling Elena everything in one long, unbroken rush. The board vote, the conversation I overheard through a hallway, the fight in the kitchen

His hands were warm against my face, steady in a way that made my whole body want to lean into them, to say yes and let this be the end of it, the relief of finally being close to him again outweighing everything else in the room, everything that had happened over the last two weeks.I almost did.For one long moment I stood there, his palms cupping my jaw, his eyes searching mine with an intensity that felt like it might undo every careful thought I'd walked in with, and I felt the pull of it so strongly I had to remind myself to breathe before answering him at all."Liam.""I mean it," he said, his voice low, urgent, his thumbs tracing gently along my cheekbones. "Ask me to prove it. I'll do whatever it takes, Nina. Name it."I stepped back, gently, and his hands fell away, confusion crossing his face as the distance opened between us again, the small space suddenly feeling enormous."I want to say yes right now," I said, my voice unsteady. "That's exactly the problem.""I don't und

I didn't sleep much after Eleanor left.I lay awake on Amanda's couch replaying her words over and over, turning them from every angle, testing them against everything I already knew about myself and about Liam and about the six years I'd spent married to a man who taught me exactly what it felt like to be managed instead of chosen. The ceiling above me stayed the same shape all night, and somehow that felt like the only steady thing in the room.Around midnight, I gave up trying to sleep entirely and sat up, staring at the dark living room, at the faint glow of streetlight coming through the curtains, at the shadow of Zoe's toys still scattered near the coffee table from the afternoon.Amanda found me there an hour later, padding out in her robe for a glass of water and stopping short when she saw me sitting upright in the dark, wide awake."You're still up," she said, not really a question."I keep thinking about what Eleanor said.""About the silence teaching him the wrong lesson."

Five days passed after the vote, and neither of us reached for the other.I stayed at Amanda's, moving through her spare room like someone borrowing a life that wasn't quite mine, grateful for the quiet but increasingly aware that quiet wasn't the same as healing. Zoe asked me once, with the blunt honesty only a child manages, whether Liam and I had broken up, and I didn't have an answer that felt true enough to give her, so I told her I didn't know yet, which was at least honest even if it wasn't comforting.Ralph called on the fourth day."You've been ignoring me," he said, no preamble, the way Ralph always started conversations he considered important enough to skip the small talk entirely."I haven't been ignoring you. I've been dealing with something.""You've been hiding. There's a difference, and I think you know it perfectly well.""Ralph.""I'm not calling to lecture you," he said, softening slightly, though his tone stayed firm underneath it. "I'm calling because Liam looks

“Who is it?” My voice came out rough, because I had successfully finished a bottle of red wine on my own.The knock came again, this time loud and it seemed whoever it was had gotten impatient.I managed to drag myself up, my body resisting every movement as I stumbled toward the door, one hand lea

“Hello, Nina. It’s really nice to meet you.” Liam responded with a smile on his face.I could hear his voice echoing in my ears while my mind played back events from last night. It felt like my favourite memory had suddenly become a nightmare that I was living in.“What’s wrong, honey?” Daniel aske

The familiar vibration of my phone pulled me out of the first peaceful sleep I had had in days. It danced on the wooden nightstand, clashing with the smooth melodies of Frank Sinatra's voice drifting somewhere nearby. It all felt like I was in a dreamland but with someone banging on my head to wak

LATER THAT DAY“What do you mean you can’t make it?” I asked, knowing fully well I wanted her to hear the disappointment in my voice.On the other end, Amanda sighed. “Nina, I’m so sorry. Kayla had homework. I sat down to help her and completely lost track of time. I should’ve called earlier to let
