ANABEL’S POV

I stood outside the Ambercaz building the next morning, staring up at it for far longer than I probably needed to. It rose so high above the surrounding skyline that I had to tilt my head all the way back just to catch a glimpse of where the glass disappeared into the clouds. Its dark, tinted panels caught the early morning sunlight and reflected it in sharp, blinding angles.

I’d driven past this building more times than I could count over the years, always assuming it belonged t

    MILES’ POVI sat behind the wheel of my car for a long moment after leaving Grandfather’s office, just breathing and letting the tension in my shoulders ease slightly before I trusted myself to drive anywhere. My mind was already racing ahead, working through everything that needed to be handled before the Black Tier Gala, and none of it felt particularly manageable at the moment.The first problem was Cierra.I already knew, without even needing to ask her directly, exactly how this was going to play out the second I brought up the gala. She’d want to come with me. It was the kind of event she’d been dreaming of attending for years, the kind of exclusive room she’d always wanted access to. And now that I was the one holding the invitation, she’d see no reason why she shouldn’t be standing right beside me.The problem was, I couldn’t have her there. Not openly, not as my date, not in any capacity that Grandfather might notice and start asking questions about. He was already suspicious

  • My Husband Brought His Mistress Home   CHAPTER 054

    MILES’ POVGrandfather’s office always had a particular smell to it, old leather and expensive cigars, a scent that had settled permanently into the walls over decades of use. I sat across from him at his desk, half listening as he ran through the quarterly numbers, half wondering how long it would take before I could steer the conversation somewhere useful. “Our shipping division underperformed again this quarter,” he said, sliding a folder toward me. “I want a full breakdown by Friday. If we’re bleeding money on logistics, I want to know exactly where.” “I’ll have it ready,” I said, nodding, though my mind wasn’t entirely on shipping margins. We spent the better part of an hour going back and forth over the business, discussing projections, cost-cutting measures, and a handful of contracts that needed to be renegotiated before the end of the quarter. It was the kind of conversation we’d had a hundred times before, comfortable in its familiarity, and for a while it almost felt lik

  • My Husband Brought His Mistress Home   CHAPTER 053

    DMITRI’S POVClaire had been against the whole plan from the very beginning. Understandably, she was worried that even if we managed to hide the outing, my mother would somehow find out. She always seemed to have that instinct, an uncanny ability to sense when something wasn’t quite right in the house. Claire had worked alongside her long enough to know better than most how dangerous that instinct could be for anyone caught helping me sneak around behind her back.I noticed the doubt creeping into John’s expression too. The longer the conversation went on, the more his confidence in the compromise he had suggested began to fade. Without giving much thought to how manipulative I was being, I did what any spoiled, desperate teenager might have done. I leaned into the emotional angle. I let my voice crack just enough and made sure my disappointment was impossible to miss, all to push him into fully agreeing to the plan he had already half-accepted.John and I had grown genuinely close ov

  • My Husband Brought His Mistress Home   CHAPTER 052

    DMITRI’S POVRemembering something like that hurt every single time, without fail, no matter how many years had passed. It felt like a small, deliberate punishment handed down from somewhere far above me, a quiet penance for the harm I’d caused that day, one I was never meant to fully put down.I knew what my closest friends would say if they were sitting here with me right now because they’d said it so many times over the years that I could recite it word for word. It wasn’t my fault. I was just a kid. There was no way I could have known something like that would happen. I’d honestly tried, more than once, to believe every word of comfort the people who knew the full story had offered me. But something deep inside me, some stubborn, unshakable part of my conscience, refused to accept it. No matter how many kind words people used to soften the truth, I always believed I was the one who had caused it.If I had just listened to my mother’s warning that night, none of this would have hap

  • My Husband Brought His Mistress Home   CHAPTER 051

    DMITRI’S POVI sat down in my office chair, staring at the television mounted on the wall across from my desk. It wasn’t even switched on. The screen was dark and reflective, but I stared at it anyway, the same way someone stares into nothing when their mind is too occupied to focus on anything at all. My thoughts kept circling back to what had happened just a few minutes earlier down in the lobby.There she was. Two months ago, I would have said the chances of suddenly running into her were practically impossible. The coincidence felt almost too much to accept at face value, too neat, too improbable given the sheer size of this city and the number of people who passed through this building every single day. And yet, somehow, it had happened. A few weeks ago, our paths crossed that night, and now here we were again.Anabel Wilson, huh.I let the name settle in my mind for a long moment, turning it over the way I might examine an unfamiliar document before signing off on it. Except th

  • My Husband Brought His Mistress Home   CHAPTER 050

    DMITRI’S POVThat last line amused me instantly. Nothing special here?Was that really what she thought about Ambercaz? On her very first day walking through these doors, standing in a lobby I’d personally designed down to the last detail, in a company I’d spent the better part of a decade building from a small business into one of the biggest names in the country?“So, if that’s the case, how did you get a job here?” I asked, deciding to play along and act as though I wasn’t the one who’d handed her the opportunity in the first place. There was something oddly satisfying about watching her explain a decision I already knew the full story behind, filling in gaps she didn’t realize I could answer myself in a single sentence.I didn’t particularly want us standing in the middle of the lobby talking like this for much longer, even though I technically owned the building and could stand wherever I pleased for as long as I liked. It still felt unprofessional, especially with the number of

    ANABEL'S POVFinally.Without wasting any time, I immediately answered and placed the phone against my ear. Before speaking, I took a small breath and quickly wiped my eyes with the back of my hand."Hi, Chloe," I said.Even though I tried to hide the fact that I had just been crying, I did a terri

    ANABEL'S POV I took a small breath, steadying my emotions and finally pushing away all the tears I'd been crying for the past few minutes. Every now and then, I could still feel the heaviness lingering in my chest, but I couldn't keep breaking down forever. There was no room for tears anymore. Y

    ANABEL’S POVMy fingers trembled over the laptop as I looked at the screen, still trying to convince myself there had to be another explanation for what I was seeing. Maybe I misunderstood something. Maybe my mind was twisting everything because of what happened last night. But the more I went th
