I opened the door before I could talk myself out of it.

Kevin stood there for half a second like he was recovering from the fact that I had actually called him, and then I forced a small smile that felt nothing like me and said, “Thank you for coming. I really needed someone.”

His expression softened immediately, like those words did something more important than I intended. He stepped inside carefully, almost politely, as if he was aware he was entering something personal. I closed the door be

  • My Husband Brought Another Woman, I Chose His Best Friend    Chapter 163

    "There's something in it neither of you knows about yet."Daniel's voice hung in the room, tinny through the phone's speaker, and for a long moment neither of us moved to fill the silence after it, the warmth of ten minutes ago already a different climate entirely."What are you talking about, Daniel?" Liam finally said, his voice level, careful, the particular controlled calm I recognised now as the one he used when he hadn't yet decided how much to reveal he already suspected."The divorce filing," Daniel said. "There's a clause about the Larkspur property, the vacation place my parents technically still hold title on. It was supposed to get sorted in the settlement. It never fully was. It's just been sitting there, unfinished paperwork, for years.""Why does that matter now?" I asked."Because your company's doing a routine audit," Daniel said, and I could hear him address that directly to Liam. "Someone flagged an old joint account tied to the property that never got closed out pr

    Zoe's question followed me around for days, small and persistent, showing up in odd moments, standing in line for coffee, halfway through a meeting, the particular way a child's blunt honesty tends to outlast an adult's practiced deflection.I hadn't answered it directly that Saturday. I'd laughed it off, said something about not rushing things, and Amanda had let me off the hook with an easy smile that told me she'd known exactly what she was doing when she let her daughter ask it for her.But I noticed things differently after that, small shifts I might have overlooked before, the relationship quietly settling into something neither of us was bracing for the end of anymore. It wasn't a single moment. It was a dozen small ones, stacked close enough together that I only noticed the pattern once I stopped to look for it.I found the first real evidence of it on a Tuesday, opening the bottom drawer of the bathroom vanity to grab a hair tie and finding it entirely cleared out, empty, wai

    Amanda showed up Saturday afternoon with her daughter, Zoe, in tow, a bag of snacks, and the specific overprepared energy of someone who'd rehearsed a conversation in her car before coming up."The doorman already knows Zoe by name," Amanda said, setting her bag down in the entryway, glancing around the apartment the way she always did, half-admiring, half-amused by the sheer scale of it. "He gave her a chocolate from behind the desk. I think your boyfriend's building is spoiling my child.""He does that for all the kids in the building," I said. "Apparently it's a whole thing. Liam complained about the chocolate budget line item once, completely seriously, in front of Patricia.""Only a billionaire complains about a chocolate budget," Amanda said, settling onto the couch while Zoe wandered toward the window, already absorbed in the view of the park below, small hands pressed to the glass."He complains about the strangest things, honestly," I said, pouring her coffee from the machine

    He didn't come back to bed until well past midnight, and when he finally did, I was still awake, staring at the ceiling, waiting, the apartment silent except for the faint mechanical hum of the building settling around us the way it always did this late."You don't have to tell me," I said into the dark. "Whatever it was last night. I don't want you to feel cornered into it.""I know." A long pause, long enough that I could hear him breathing in the dark. "I want to tell you anyway. I just needed a day to find the right words for it, which isn't usually a problem I have. I can talk a room full of lawyers into agreeing with each other. This is somehow harder.""Take your time. I'm not going anywhere."He was quiet another moment, and I heard him shift, sitting up slightly against the headboard, the faint city light through the curtains catching the line of his jaw."When we finally stopped hiding it," Liam said slowly, "when it was real, out in the open, not something stolen between tw

    We ended up on the balcony that night, the city spread out below in the particular glittering sprawl that still occasionally made me forget I lived somewhere people paid seven figures for the view alone. Liam had poured two glasses of wine neither of us had touched yet, sitting on the low stone ledge instead of the furniture, like the conversation needed less ceremony than the apartment usually demanded. Somewhere below, a car service idled at the curb waiting for a call he'd told them not to expect tonight, one of the small quiet luxuries of his life that I still occasionally forgot to notice."Can I ask you something I've genuinely never actually asked you?" I said."Anything at all.""Back then. Before anything happened between us." I made myself keep my voice steady. "Did you see a marriage falling apart, or did you just want me? I need the honest answer, not the flattering one."Liam was quiet long enough that I almost regretted asking, the city noise below filling the space wher

    "You know what today is," Amanda said, no hello, the moment I picked up, and I felt my stomach drop the particular way it did every year on this exact date, like my body kept the calendar even when I tried not to."I know," I said."You okay?""I'm fine," I said, and even I could hear how unconvincing it sounded."You're doing the flat voice," Amanda said. "The one you do every June sixteenth like clockwork. I've heard it enough years running to recognise it now."I sat down slowly at the kitchen island, the apartment quiet around me, Liam already gone for an early meeting downtown, the driver picking him up before I'd even finished my coffee."I still can't believe you remember the exact date," I said with a sigh accompanying it."I remember it because I was there," Amanda said, quieter now. "I covered for you, Nina. More than once, that first month. Told Daniel you were at my place when you weren't. Told myself I was helping my best friend and not actually thinking too hard about wh

    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

    The loud movement downstairs dragged me the hell out of sleep.At first, I thought I was dreaming when I kept hearing voices and strange sounds in my head. The sounds came muffled through the wooden floors, persistent enough to keep tugging at my consciousness until I finally decided to open my eye

    “Wait a minute. Isn’t that the boss’s wife sitting right there?”My ears heard those words despite the loud music playing while I sat still with my glass of champagne in my hand. Honestly, it took a lot for me not to turn my head in their direction.I sat alone at one of the VIP tables watching cam
