Rejected By My Billionaire Husband,He Chased Me Back After D Chapter 77
Vanessa did not stay to clean up.She left the ballroom as soon as the last guests began to trickle out, ignoring Julian's questioning look and the staff's murmured questions about where to put the leftover floral arrangements. She had more important things to do.The strand of Clara's hair was safe in the zippable nylon bag inside her clutch. But she needed more. She needed a comparison. She needed proof.She climbed the grand staircase and walked down the hallway to Emory's room. The door was slightly ajar, and she could hear the soft sounds of a cartoon playing on Emory's tablet.She knocked gently. "Emory, sweetheart? It's Auntie Vanessa.""Come in!"Emory was sitting on her bed, her fancy party dress exchanged for pink pajamas with unicorns on them. Her tablet was propped against her knees, and a half-empty glass of milk sat on her nightstand. She looked tired but content."Auntie Vanessa! Did you see me at the party? I wore the blue dress, just like I wanted.""I saw you. You lo

The party continued around Clara like a current around a stone. Laughter echoed from the ballroom. Champagne glasses clinked. The string quartet had been replaced by a jazz ensemble, and couples were beginning to drift toward the dance floor. But Clara needed air. The confrontation with Vanessa by the dessert table, the sweet interaction with Emory, the weight of Cassian's kiss—all of it had left her breathless and overwhelmed.She slipped through the French doors and into the garden.The night was cool and clear, the stars scattered across the sky like diamonds on black velvet. The fountain sparkled under the fairy lights. The roses—Vanessa's roses, Clara thought with a pang of irritation—were in full bloom, their fragrance heavy in the air. She walked along the stone path, her emerald dress brushing against the hedges, and found a quiet bench near the old oak tree where Emory had told her she played with her dolls.She sat down and closed her eyes. The silence was a relief. The part

Adrian arrived shortly after Clara, slipping in through a side entrance. He had debated coming for hours, changing his mind half a dozen times before finally putting on his tuxedo and ordering a car. He was here to support Clara. That was all. He would watch from a distance and be there if she needed him.But when he saw her standing in the doorway, the emerald dress shimmering around her, the pearl necklace at her throat, something inside him cracked.She was wearing his necklace. The necklace she had given him twenty years ago. The necklace he had carried across the world and back.She had worn it tonight. For him. For herself. For everything she could not remember.Adrian took a glass of champagne from a passing waiter and found a quiet corner near the windows. He would watch. He would wait. And if Cassian hurt her tonight, he would be there.Cassian crossed the room.He did not care that people were watching. He did not care that Vanessa was staring at him with barely concealed fu

Cassian found Emory in the garden, sitting under the old oak tree with her dolls arranged in a semicircle around her. She was dressed in her favorite overalls, her dark curls wild from a morning of playing outside."Can I sit with you?" he asked."Of course, Daddy. You can be the prince." She handed him a doll with a plastic crown. "The prince has to protect the kingdom from the dragon.""What dragon?""Pretend dragon. Use your imagination."Cassian sat down on the grass, the doll looking absurdly small in his large hands. "Emory, I need to talk to you about something. Something important."Emory looked up, her honey-colored eyes suddenly serious. "Is it about Auntie Vanessa?""How did you know?""You get a certain face when you're going to talk about Auntie Vanessa. It's like this." She scrunched up her features in a surprisingly accurate imitation of his tense expression.Cassian almost laughed. "Yes. It's about Vanessa." He set the doll down carefully. "Emory, you know how much Van

Clara stood in front of the mirror in her bedroom, holding up the dress she had just bought.It was stunning. Deep emerald green, the color of a forest at twilight, with a neckline that was elegant without being revealing and a skirt that swirled around her knees. She had found it at a boutique in the Design District, and the moment she put it on, she knew it was the one."The party is on Saturday," Imogen said from the doorway. "Are you going?""I'm going.""As Cassian's date?""No. On my own terms. I'm not going to be his plus-one or his arm candy. I'm going as Clara Hayes, general manager of Whitmore Fashion Group, project lead on the rebranding initiative. I'm going to hold my head high and show Vanessa Hale that she doesn't intimidate me."Imogen smiled. "That's my girl."Clara's phone buzzed. Cassian's name flashed on the screen."I should take this," Clara said."I'll give you privacy." Imogen squeezed her shoulder and left, closing the door behind her.Clara answered. "Hello."

Adrian was at his desk, nursing a brutal hangover and an even more brutal regret, when his office door burst open.Cassian strode in like a thunderstorm. His gray eyes were blazing. His jaw was set. He did not bother with pleasantries."Get out," he said to James, who was standing frozen in the corner with a tablet in his hands.James looked at Adrian. Adrian nodded wearily. James fled.Cassian slammed the door behind him and crossed the room until he was standing directly in front of Adrian's desk. The tension between them was palpable—two predators circling each other, neither willing to back down."You knew her," Cassian said. His voice was low and dangerous. "Before Brisbane. Before the accident. Before all of it."Adrian leaned back in his chair, his dark eyes unreadable. He had been expecting this. Maybe not today, maybe not so soon, but he had known it was coming. "I don't know what you're talking about.""Don't lie to me." Cassian placed both hands on the edge of the desk and

The restaurant was a masterpiece of understated elegance white tablecloths, flickering candles, a view of the Dallas skyline that glittered through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Alexander had chosen it specifically because it was the kind of place that made an impression without trying too hard.Im

Imogen was at her desk, reviewing a stack of archival documents that had arrived from the university's historical collection, when Claire poked her head through the door."Imogen, you have a visitor."Imogen looked up, her reading glasses perched on her nose. "A visitor? Who is it?"Claire's face w

Vanessa was having tea with Sophia when her phone buzzed with a text message.It was from Bianca.Did you know Cassian was spotted having lunch with a mystery woman at La Petite Bistro today? Very cozy. Very intimate. Thought you should know.Vanessa's hand tightened around her teacup."What's wron

Clara stood outside Adrian's office, her hand raised to knock. She had rehearsed what she wanted to say three times in the elevator, but the words still felt inadequate. The rumors were spreading faster than she had anticipated. The whispers had followed her through every corridor, every meeting, e
