Secrets From My Billionaire Ex 52
“IT’S STARTING!” AVIANA SHOUTS AT THE CROWD MILLING AROUI sit down next to TK, staring at my ring as it catches the light, still not quite believing I’m getting married. “She’s insane,” he whispers in my ear.I smile and nod, because he’s right.“I can’t believe she found enough people for the show.” I keep my voice low as the lights go down and the opening for Love the Player starts to play.“I can.” He looks at me like I’m crazy. “Dixie has been vying for fame since she put that ring on her finger and Aviana should really get into the business with how well she pitched this shit.”“You know Dixie’s ass is gonna be the villain and get kicked off after the season ends,” Vonnie says, not caring who hears her.“Damn, girl!” Justin’s eyes double in size as he looks over his shoulder for Chad. “You know I still have to get along with her husband, right?”“And?” She rolls her eyes and takes a sip of her martini. “That has nothing to do with me.”“You need another drink?” Jenna, the waitre

I DON’T KNOW IF I’M MORE STARTLED BY HIM BEING HERE OR TH more handsome than he ever has—something for which I both thank and curse the Lord.“Jesus, TK!” I shove his chest, acting mad, but really just wanting a reason to touch him. “You scared me!”“Sorry.” He grins, his dimple popping out on his still-beardless face.“Didn’t mean to.”“What are you doing here?” I ask him once my heart rate has dropped and my breathing has returned to normal.“I came to see you and Ace.” The smile fades away and he shoves his hands in his pockets, rocking back onto his heels. “I can come back another time if you’re busy.”Where I fidget all the time, TK does it only when he’s really nervous.I was going to lie. Maybe say I was going on a date or something else more believable, but seeing how nervous he is and knowing how hard this must be for him, I don’t. “I was actually going to see you.”The dimple reappears along with the creases around his eyes. “Lucky me.”“We have a lot to talk about, TK,” I s

Five Weeks LaterTK DIDN’T CALL.He sent a few text messages and on the occasions when Ace would work up the nerve to call him, he’d answer, but that was it.There was the time, a few days after I showed up at TK’s house, that his lawyer called me to tell me he had a check for back child support and needed my bank information for future payments.I told him to tell TK to shove the check where the sun don’t shine and hung up.Then I told Sadie and Vonnie and they told me they’d shove something up somewhere if I didn’t call and take the “goddamn check.”I did as they said. Mainly because I was scared they’d follow through on their promise but also because as angry as I was with TK, I knew he was trying. And money was the only way he knew how to try.Then we got on with life. Ace focused on soccer, I focused on Ace, and we both pretended we weren’t disappointed every time the phone rang and TK wasn’t on the other end.In the surprise of the century, Lydia Mercer reached out. It wasn’t mu

BEFORE VONNIE TOOK ACE TO HER HOUSE, SHE ENTERED TK’S ADnavigation app on my phone. Driving across town was the last resort. I was positive TK would answer his phone eventually.But like always, I was wrong.Now, parked on the street in front of his mansion—literal mansion—I don’t know if I’m grateful he moved to my tiny bungalow or pissed he didn’t push harder for me to come here. I’m pretty sure the landscaping alone costs more than a car.I take a deep breath and turn onto his driveway, which loops around a fountain right on the verge of gaudy. I park in front of his door . . . well, doors. Two glass doors framed in wood that form an arch with an exquisite iron design decorating them. It’s all so un-TK-like I would’ve laughed if I wasn’t still raging.I push the doorbell, which I know sends a notification to his phone and is recording me, and wait.Then I ring it again.Lights are on throughout the house and his Range Rover is parked uselessly in front of his garage, so I know he’

“SADIE, I’M FINE.” I SLIDE A DRINK IN FRONT OF HER AND HOLD H eyes. “I am!”“You are so not fine.” She brings the straw to her lips, sucking back some Diet Coke.Okay. She’s right.I am so not fine.When I got home from the hospital on Monday, Ace was asleep, Mrs. Duncan was gone, and Sadie, Vonnie, Charli, Aviana, and Brynn were all sitting in my living room. Brynn, bless her heart, came with a few bottles of wine she’d snagged from HERS.So of course, this made me burst into tears . . . again.Sure, Sadie was my girl and I knew I could always depend on her, but I’d never had this. I’d never had a tribe.After the tears stopped, I told them my story with TK. Most of which Sadie had heard, most of which none of the other girls had a clue about. They sat there, not saying a word, just refilling my glass when it emptied and passing me tissues as I spoke.By the time I was finished, Brynn’s wine contributions were depleted and my personal stash had been opened. They didn’t try to change

A SMALL SILVER LINING IS THAT MRS. DUNCAN IS A HUGE MUSTA phone doesn’t even finish one full ring before she picks up.“I’ll meet you at your house,” she answers without a hello. “Tell AceI’m bringing peach cobbler.”“Thank you.” I let out the deep breath I’ve been holding.Just like last time, the Mustangs trainers called me to give me an update on TK and tell me to come see him.But unlike last time, he’s not in the training room. Instead, he’s being transferred to Saint Joseph Hospital, where he’ll be under observation overnight.“Mrs. D says she’s bringing you cobbler.” I look at Ace in my rearview mirror. “And I’m sure she won’t mind if you invite Jayden over.” “Jayden’s at the game,” he says to the window.Crap.I know he wants to see TK, but I also know the last time we were at Saint Joseph, we were saying our final good-byes to Maya. Seeing his dad in the same place will be too much. I suspect he knows it, too, which is why he didn’t fight me when I said I was going to drop h
