My Husband Sold Me to His Blind Billionaire Uncle Chapter 70 — What Clara Knew
Thomas was thorough.He always was — I had learned this over months of watching him work, the specific quality of his thoroughness that was different from Sebastian's precision and different from Edmund's comprehensiveness. Thomas's thoroughness was the thoroughness of someone who had been doing one specific kind of work for thirty-one years and had developed, in that time, the specific instinct for which question, asked in which order, produced the most accurate picture.He asked Clara six questions in the coffee shop.She answered all of them.When he left — "I'll arrange the formal statement for tomorrow, if that suits" — I stayed.Clara had not moved to leave.I had not moved to leave.The noon crowd had thinned to the specific, quieter quality of a coffee shop at two in the afternoon — the people who were there by choice rather than necessity, the ones who needed a table and a warm cup and an hour that belonged to them."There's more," Clara said. "That I didn't say to Thomas."I
My Husband Sold Me to His Blind Billionaire Uncle Chapter 69 — Clara Returns
She didn't come to the manor.She called my phone — not Sebastian's, not Thomas's, not the house line. Mine. The number that wasn't publicly listed, that existed in approximately twelve people's contact lists, that she had no obvious way to have obtained.I looked at the number for two rings.Then I answered."Clara," I said.A pause — the specific quality of someone who had expected to leave a voicemail and had not prepared for an actual answer."Aria," she said. "I — yes. I wasn't sure you'd answer.""I almost didn't," I said. "What do you want?""To talk," she said. "Not through lawyers. Not through Thomas or Sebastian or anyone else. Just — I want to talk to you directly.""About what?""About things I know," she said. "That aren't in any document. Things I should have said earlier and didn't."I was in the library. The eastern expansion materials on the desk. The cat named Edmund on the windowsill."Why now?" I said."Because," she said, "I read the second piece. Clara Whitmore's
My Husband Sold Me to His Blind Billionaire Uncle Chapter 68. What She Does After
The piano was still playing at midnight. I had gone to bed at ten — or tried to. Lay in the dark listening to the house breathe and the distant, specific sound of the music room two floors up and understood, after twenty minutes of not sleeping, that I was not going to sleep until the piano stopped and possibly not until some time after that. I was not worried. This was not the worried version of not sleeping — not the kind that had arrived in the first weeks of this house when I was mapping everything and trusting nothing and lying in the dark with the specific restlessness of someone who doesn't know where they are yet. This was different. This was the not-sleeping of someone who is present somewhere completely and finds sleep, for the moment, beside the point. I got up. Put on the green jumper — the one with the small pull near the left cuff, the one Sebastian had described seeing me wearing in the greenhouse the morning his sight first returned. Went upstairs. The
My Husband Sold Me to His Blind Billionaire Uncle Chapter 67. First Time The Defense Lands
It was a Tuesday. Thomas had warned us — not that specific Tuesday, he couldn't have known the specific Tuesday, but he had said: there will be a day in the proceedings when Wren's lawyers deploy the letters. When they do, it will be uncomfortable. Not because the letters damage the case — they don't. Because they're true. And true things that are uncomfortable have a different weight than false things that are uncomfortable. "I know," Sebastian had said. "You'll need to answer them honestly," Thomas had said. "Which you will. But the honesty will cost something in the room." "I know," Sebastian had said. "Tell me when it happens," I had said. "Afterward." "You'll be in the gallery," Sebastian had said. "I'll be in the gallery," I had confirmed. "Tell me afterward anyway." The letters were introduced at eleven. Wren's lead counsel — who had the specific, unhurried quality of someone who had been building toward this for weeks and had decided that the moment of deploym
My Husband Sold Me to His Blind Billionaire Uncle Chapter 66. What The Press Makes Of It
The photograph appeared on a Friday. Not one we had taken — not a press conference image, not anything staged or sanctioned. A photograph taken outside the Vale Corp building on the Thursday of Sebastian's first testimony, when we had walked back from the side entrance to where the car was waiting. Someone had been there. Not a journalist with a press pass — someone with a phone, positioned correctly, with the specific patience of a person who has been told something might happen and has waited for it. The image was clean. Sebastian in a dark suit, silver-white hair, the returned sight visible in the way he was oriented — directly, fully, at the building ahead of him rather than the slightly-angled attention of three years of navigating without sight. Beside him, matching his pace, not behind him or arranged decoratively to his left — beside him: me. Dark coat. The investigation notebook visible under my arm. Not looking at the camera — looking at something ahead, the same
My Husband Sold Me to His Blind Billionaire Uncle Chapter 65 — Sarah Meadows Comes To The Manor
She called on a Tuesday.Not to arrange anything — she called the way people call when they have been thinking about something for long enough that the thinking needs to become a conversation. I heard it in the quality of her voice before she said anything specific: the quality of someone who has arrived at a decision and is calling to tell it rather than to ask for it."I've been thinking about the name," she said."Calloway," I said."Yes," she said. "And about — about all of it. The inheritance. The proceedings. What Thomas said about the separate Calloway case.""What have you decided?" I said."I haven't," she said. "I keep getting close and then — I need to see it. The place. The house. The — I need to understand what it is before I can decide what I want to do with my connection to it.""Come this week," I said. "If you can."A pause."Really?""Yes," I said. "There's room. The south wing has more space than it's using.""I don't want to—""Sarah," I said. "Edmund put us in the
