Somehow, my mind could not settle. Maybe I should have gone to stop her from leaving. But for what reason?

I laid lifeless in my bedroom.

My phone vibrated. And it showed Hale Calling...

I answered. "What is it?"

"Sir…Can we meet? Now."

I frowned. "At the usual place?"

"Yes. There are some things I need to tell you."

Twenty minutes later...I walked into the quiet restaurant. Hale was already waiting by the window. Two cups of coffee sat untouched. He looked unusually serious.

I pulled out the

    The mansion had never felt this quiet. Or maybe my head was the quiet one. I had nothing to think of again. And the silence was somehow worse than busy thoughts. Grandmother had gone to bed early. The servants had all retired. I sat alone in the study, pretending to read through the Moscow reports.But I hadn't read a single line in almost an hour. Every few minutes, my mind wandered back to the airport.Was she gone already? Had the plane taken off? Did the photo get to them? Did it perhaps break any trust?Nah. It had been hours since they left. No feedback from Hale. They were probably in Switzerland now.Maybe...that was for the best.Suddenly…The front door slammed. The loud sound echoed through the entire mansion. I frowned. A maid hurried toward the study."Mr. Aleksander…” Before she could finish…"I know where he is!" A familiar voice rang through the hallway.My heart skipped.No...It couldn't be. The rapid footsteps approached and the study door burst open.She stood there

    "This is it."I smiled as I looked through the large glass windows overlooking the runway.Switzerland.A new country. A new beginning.Maybe this was exactly what my life needed. Lance rolled our luggage toward the boarding area. "Excited?"I forced a smile. "I think so."He laughed. "I'll take that as a yes."We checked in our bags and made our way toward the departure gate. Everything felt strangely peaceful. Or so I thought until…Lance's phone vibrated. He glanced at the screen."No caller ID?" He frowned."Probably spam." I responded.He was about to ignore it before another notification appeared.This time… A picture. He looked over to me and raised his brows. “Not the right time” he chuckled. “I’m with my woman.”I chuckled too. “Just check it. It’s probably a friend…wishing you well.”“Urgh.” He hesitated at first, but ttapped it.Since his phone was a bit far from me, I couldn’t see what he was staring at, but I watched his smile disappear.His footsteps stopped."Lance?" I c

And it showed Hale Calling...I answered. "What is it?""Sir…Can we meet? Now."I frowned. "At the usual place?""Yes. There are some things I need to tell you."Twenty minutes later...I walked into the quiet restaurant. Hale was already waiting by the window. Two cups of coffee sat untouched. He looked unusually serious.I pulled out the chair opposite him. "You sounded like someone died."He gave a weak smile. "It isn't that. But...I think you'll be angry with me."I leaned back. "I've been angry all week. What more could worsen it? Go ahead."Finally, Hale sighed. "Angry all week? Why are you still torturing yourself?"I looked out the window. "What do you mean?"“We both know Klaire is the reason you’ve been angry.”"She's probably halfway to Switzerland by now." I smiled bitterly."And isn’t that enough for you to let her go

    I had almost finished packing. It was just one suitcase. One laptop bag. A few files for Moscow. Maybe that was what I needed. A fresh city and a fresh routine. And this time…I was determined to make sure no hallway, office or elevators reminded me of Klaire.I would move on in Moscow. Get over these feelings. I would see other women. I would get distracted with work again. That was the easiest way to assure myself, before I went crazy.A knock sounded on my bedroom door. "Come in."Grandmother stepped inside. She looked... different. Her eyes were red, as though she had cried recently.I immediately stood. "Grandmother? Are you fine?”She forced a smile. "I saw her."I frowned. "Saw who?""The young woman. The one I chose for you. I finally found her.”I paused. "You found her?"She nodded slowly. "I did Aleksander.”My heart remained strangely calm. Weeks ago, I would have demanded every detail. Today… It barely mattered.I didn’t want anything to do with that flash marriage again.

    "Are you sure we have time for this?" I looked at Lance as he parked outside one of the most luxurious resorts in the city. "Our flight is this evening."He smiled. "We have hours. Enough time to spoil you. My wife deserves to relax before we move halfway across the world."I laughed. "You've become very generous lately.""I've always been.” He leaned over and pinched my cheek. "You were just too stubborn to notice." He had booked a full spa session for me. Massage. Facial treatment. Everything. "You'll thank me later.""I probably will."He was right. The spa was unbelievably peaceful. I actually felt myself relaxing.After my massage… The attendant placed cool cucumber slices over my eyes. "Please remain still for fifteen minutes. We'll be back shortly."I smiled. "Thank you."The room became quiet. A few minutes later… Someone entered the room beside mine.An elderly woman. I couldn't see her. But I could hear her."Oh,..." She laughed softly into her phone. "You worry too much." I

    And now that Klaire wasn’t here. It felt like none of these mattered anymore. Work didn’t feel the same and nothing…raced my heart. No pretense. No challenge. I realized it was time to make the big decision. The very one I avoided for a while. Moscow. I had to leave for Moscow.If Klaire was starting a new life. I could too.The feelings would leave eventually. I was certain.The branch might still need me, but throwing myself into work thousands of miles away was the only way to forget the woman I couldn't have.Distance. That was what Hale had advised. That was what Grandma said. Distance from Klaire and every memory that reminded me of her.But before I leave I need to end one big thing. The marriage that tied me down. Elise. I needed to proceed with the divorce.I unlocked the drawer in my study and removed the marriage certificate I had recovered from Elise weeks ago. I stared at it for a moment. "What a waste..." I muttered. "This should have ended a long time ago."Thinking of

    His smile immediately faded as Mr Hale said those words and he retracted his hand from mine.His expression was rather confusing. Was he angry? Did he not have a good relationship with his grandmother?"Grandmother?" He repeated flatly, stepping forward and completely blocking view.Before Mr Hale

    “Mrs Claire Kingston, this way please,” the tall suited man called for me. I sucked in a deep breath, murmuring a quick prayer before walking in. After crying myself to sleep yesterday, Elise had offered to help me retrieve my important documents from my cloud. I don't know how she did it but th

    “So how did it go? Did you meet your new bride? Do you like her?” My grandmother’s eager eyes made my shoulders stiff. I moved to her bed and sat down with a small sigh. “How are you feeling today, Granny? Does your chest still hurt?” I asked her. Her eyes narrowed briefly at me. “I am fine, Lex

    “Let's get divorced.”The grocery bag dropped from my hand as my entire body froze. Oranges rolled across the apartment hallway while a carton of eggs burst open beside my feet, but I could only stare at the text glowing on my screen.My husband wanted a divorce.My husband.The man I had legally m
