My ex husband lost me to his rival Chapter 47: The Reckoning
(OLIVIA POV)My mother's face was the first thing in my mind when I opened my eyes.Her white hair and the book in her lap. The way she said my name when she saw me standing in the garden doorway like she had been rehearsing it quietly for six years and it still came out perfectly.I lay still for a moment.Then I got up Showered,dressed up and made tea. Sat at the kitchen table with my phone and my notebook and started making calls.---My lawyer answered on the second ring."I want to go full offense," I said. "Everything we have, mail and every board communication. Every crisis resolution and Singapore correspondence. Formally submitted not just for the custody case, For the record."She was quiet for a moment. "Olivia this is significant. Once we submit formally it becomes part of the public proceedings.""I know.""Are you certain?"I thought about my mother's hand gripping mine across a garden table. About six years of visiting days she spent waiting for a daughter who never
My ex husband lost me to his rival CHAPTER 46: Connecticut
(OLIVIA POV)Luciano didn't ask questions when I got in the car.He just greeted me and drove.The city thinned out gradually around us, buildings giving way to suburbs. I watched everything through the window without saying anything. He kept both hands on the wheel and the radio off and gave me the gift of a silence that didn't require explanation,he already knew a lot was going through my head.After about forty minutes I said — "She doesn't know what happened. She just knows I stopped coming."He didn't say anything and kept focus on his driving.I looked back out the window, wallowing in my thoughts.The facility was not what I had been building in my head for weeks. It wasn't clinical or institutional ,just Private and carefully maintained, the kind of place that cost the kind of money Alexander Sterling had always considered routine. A garden visible through the front windows. Flowers still holding on in the late season. Residents moving through common areas with the unhurried
My ex husband lost me to his rival Chapter 45: Visit to Crest Estate
(OLIVIA POV)“He's gone come when you can”I brought out my phone and read madam Chen’s message she sent me two nights ago, twice again and closed my work laptop.I sat completely still for a moment.I thought about his voice two nights ago. Low and careful, stripped of everything I had spent six years hearing it carry. The way he said goodnight quietly, like a man putting something down he had been holding too long.I thought about the fact that I had called him back. That we had spoken twice in the last days of his life and both times felt more honest than anything that had happened across six years of dinners and board meetings and careful Sterling functions,as if he knew he was dying.I got up and wore my coat,carried my bag and walked towards the office door.---Crest Estate felt different when I arrived.Not really emptier but something else. Like a building that had been holding its breath for a very long time and had finally let it go.Madam Chen opened the door when she he
My ex husband lost me to his rival CHAPTER 44 : Two Men And A Truth
(POV: Luciano)Blake Sterling walked into my office looking like a man who had just had the floor taken out from under everything he thought he owned.I'd seen him in boardrooms,depositions. Across tables where we were both acting versions of ourselves neither of us fully believed in. I had never seen him look like this — like the performance had simply stopped and whatever was underneath it had been standing there the whole time waiting to be seen.I poured two drinks without asking what he wanted and asked him to sit down .He said down neither of us said anything for a moment.He put his phone on the table and opened a message, slid it towards me without a word, I read it.“Preliminary toxicology results flagged. Examining physician requesting formal consultation with major crimes division.”I read it again and put the phone down.I reached into my desk drawer and removed the folder I had been sitting on for a while, my private physician's analysis, the compound markers, the deliv
My ex husband lost me to his rival Chapter 43:The Letter He Left
(POV: Blake)I didn't move from his desk until everyone else had gone to bed.The envelope sat open in front of me. One page and my father's handwriting — precise and unhurried even at the end, the specific script of a man who had never in his life written anything in a way he wants to pass his information to others.I picked it up and read ---“Blake My Son”No preamble, You never liked preamble neither did I.“I am writing this because there are things a man cannot say standing up. I have spent my entire life standing up and I have discovered, rather late, that it costs something. I am writing this so the cost doesn't pass entirely to you because I knew a day like this will come.”“I made decisions. Across the years decisions about Sterling Global, about the family, about you that I believed were right. I understand now that believing a decision is right and it simply being yours are not the same thing. The distance between those two things is the distance between a legacy and a l
My ex husband lost me to his rival CHAPTER 42 :THE DNA RESULTS
(BLAKE POV)I'd been staring at the same line for twenty minutes.Probability of paternity: 0.00%The laptop was open in front of me. The report was on the screen. I had read it several times already and I was reading it again because some part of my brain kept insisting that if I looked long enough the numbers would rearrange themselves into something I could work with.But they didn't.I pushed back from the desk and went to the window and stood there. and looked at the activities going outside the streets.but my brain was not responding to what I was seeing.I went back to the desk and closed the laptop Sat there with my hands flat on the wood.I had signed the court authorization on a Tuesday afternoon between two other documents my lawyer had flagged as more urgent. Routine,Standard procedure in contested custody cases. The court requests it, we comply, we move on. I initiated the bottom without finishing the paragraph because there was nothing to find. Nathaniel was my son. I ha
