My Husband Brought Another Woman, I Chose His Best Friend Chapter 239
# Chapter 90: The GestureLiam called the press conference himself, on a Thursday morning, without asking anyone's permission.I learned the details in the back of Patricia's car, where she sat beside me with her folder closed in her lap and her jaw set like stone. She had agreed to drive me to the building, but she had not agreed to be happy about it."I want it on record that I told him no," she said."It's on record.""Twice. In writing.""I believe you." I watched the city slide past the window. "He believes you too. He's doing it anyway."She let out a long breath. "That is what frightens me. Every time he ignored my advice before, it was a bad idea.""Maybe this is a bad idea.""Maybe." She turned to look at me. "But I've watched him these last two months, Nina. I don't think he can stop now, even if he wanted to."Grant was waiting in the lobby with a single sheet of paper in his hand and the look of a man who had already lost the argument. Liam had just stepped out of the elev

I went to the police station on Wednesday morning, and I went alone.Liam drove me as far as the corner. He had asked carefully whether I wanted a ride, and I had said yes, because a ride was not a rescue. When he pulled over across from the station, he kept both hands on the wheel, and I noticed his knuckles had gone pale."I'll be right here," he said."You don't have to wait.""I know." He stared straight ahead through the windshield. "I want to.""Okay."I stepped out and closed the door. I didn't look back, though I could feel him there the whole way across the street, a steady presence that asked nothing of me.Inside, a tired officer with kind eyes slid a clipboard toward me. "What are you reporting?""I have a protective order against a man named Kevin. He was seen near my building twice this week. I want it on record, and I want to know how to extend the order." I unfolded the paper from my wallet, where I had kept the case number for months like a small, ugly charm. "My lawy

Patricia had been gone less than ten minutes when Liam's phone buzzed against the kitchen counter. He glanced at the screen, then at me, and something crossed his face too fast to hide, the small, guilty flicker of a man caught holding something he had meant to set down."Who is it?" I asked."Grant.""Answer it."He hesitated, then picked up the phone and put it on speaker, and I noticed that, and I think he meant me to."Liam, I know you're busy," Grant said. "But I wanted to tell you before the day ended. My contact called again. He's seen Kevin near Nina's building twice this week, once on Tuesday and once last night. He's keeping watch from a distance. He says there's nothing to worry about yet."The kitchen went very still."Your contact," I said slowly.Liam closed his eyes. "Nina.""Grant, I'm here." I kept my voice level, though my pulse had started pounding in my ears. "Your contact has been watching Kevin this whole time? Since the night Ralph told me?"There was a long pau

Liam was quiet for a moment, like he was deciding, even now, standing in the empty ballroom, whether to soften what came next, whether to find some gentler version of the truth to offer me first."A public statement," he finally said. "Not another press release counsel drafts and I approve after the fact, the way I've done a dozen times before. Something I say myself, on the record, naming everything. Drew's plan from the beginning. The partnership my father took from him. The reason it's lasted this long, all of it, without edits.""That's already in the regulator's file, though, isn't it? I thought that part was settled.""Most of it, yes. But not all of it." He rubbed a hand along his jaw, his eyes moving away from mine for a moment before coming back. "The regulators have the financial trail, the payments, the recorded admission. They don't have the full history. My father's role in creating the grievance in the first place. The partnership he promised to Drew and then gave to me

I thought about a dozen places before I settled on the one that made sense, running through them one by one while Amanda slept down the hall and the apartment sat quiet around me.Not the apartment, too loaded with the fight that had sent me to Amanda's in the first place, every corner of it still carrying the sound of my own voice cracking apart. Not the office, too tangled up with board votes and the version of Liam who managed crises instead of people, who had once stood in that glass tower weighing my life like a line item. Not a neutral café either, not this time, not when neutral ground had already done its work and something bigger was being asked of both of us now. If we were going to risk something real, I wanted it to happen somewhere that already held the full weight of what we'd built, not somewhere safely blank and easy to walk away from.I called the event coordinator the next morning and asked for access to the ballroom for an hour that evening, explaining only that I n

The text arrived while I was folding laundry in Amanda's spare room, and I almost missed it entirely, my phone buzzing once against the dresser before going quiet.*Can I show you something, instead of telling you?*I set down the shirt in my hands and read it three times, trying to find the trick in it, the old pattern dressed up in new language. But there wasn't one, not that I could find. It wasn't an explanation. It wasn't an apology wrapped in careful phrasing. It was a question, open-ended, with no plan attached that I could see.I didn't answer right away."What is it?" Amanda asked, poking her head in from the hallway."Liam texted.""After five days of silence? What did he say?"I turned the phone toward her, and she read it twice, her eyebrows lifting slightly."That's different from his usual.""I know." I sat down on the edge of the bed, the laundry forgotten beside me. "He didn't explain anything. He didn't apologize. He just asked if he could show me something.""What ar

The knock came without warning, followed immediately by Amy pushing the door open like she owned the place. Ralph trailed behind her, coffee in hand, already looking like he had something to say.“Tell me you’re not buried in spreadsheets again,” Amy said, walking in without waiting for an answer.

“You need to see this,” she said, her voice breaking into laughter as she turned the screen toward me.I leaned forward slightly, squinting at the phone. “What now?”“Girl, they are dragging him,” she said, shaking her head, her tone somewhere between impressed and amused. “Look at this headline.

“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
